Homeskoolin’ Volume 99 1/2, Tom Bukovac, “The New Fifths”

[@michaelrowe8826]

New room sounds great. Gotta find a spot for the ladder tho.

[@johnfrenette]

That’s a *step verb*, the rungs act as a subtle diffuser. Abbey Road had their ladder room next to their spring tank. Been a critical part of the music production since magnetic tape.

[@glennwhitlock1272]

May the fourths be with you, Uncle Larry.

[@ironikaika]

It’s a sweet view and it feels and sounds like home(Skoolin).

[@501chorusecho]

thanks man.....appreciate the kind words

[@jmwise80]

YES! It’s always sounded like Homeskoolin!

[@scottpeterson9609]

Let's see........... it's got amps, guitars, good acoustics, Ziggy's artwork and our dear Uncle Larry. I can find no fault with it.............

[@ArsonComplex]

Can't wait for homeskoolin 99 3/4!

[@seanoce8605]

99 7/8 would be a real gem though ...

[@brianharrison3011]

You have more tone over an iPhone than most players can muster with a rack of equipment, Love the new digs. I think you found the new spot for homeskoolin!

[@daveycmusic5150]

For fucks sake, this dude has a new, unique composition EVERY single time he posts. This is 99 1/2. There;s at LEAST 8-9 albums there. Someone sign this dude for a bundle and let him just CREATE. Yet, the Black Keys, Black Eyed Peas, and Alabama Shakes are todays “geniuses”. Cant hold a candle to this dudes ass. Fucking fantastic.

[@woodyboley9785]

Best. Ever.

[@ozijoekersanov]

Tom I'm rocked by that news about divorce. Like every other human being here we fell in love with Sarah when you did your Phil Collins gushfest and duet. Hope you can both see what the problems are and sort them out. I know you as well as the other subscribers here (not really at all) but I hope things can turn around as you seemed to be a sweet couple. Love to you both

[@MJKauz]

Hope you don't take this as an attack but while I appreciate your sentiment, if you wanted to be truly supportive of what's best for them you may want to acknowledge that they know their relationship better than you or any of us that are "fans" do. He mentioned that this has been a long time in process and it sounds like they attempted to stay together but decided to part ways. If that's what's best for them, then it's not our place to judge. It's not our relationship because of a single song we heard, it's theirs. If we want to be supportive, then don't pine to "turn around" the loss of something you didn't know, just show your support for someone in a hard time. Wishing for a fix might be wishing for something that isn't the best for anyone anyway.

[@ozijoekersanov]

@@MJKauz Fair call I hadn't watched the 'blues in sea' post Didn't realize it was that far along.

[@andrewshuttleworth8105]

Dear uncle larry . Your playin is next level and despite the the recent changes in your life you just keep giving . My guitar playing has gone up 10 levels just by watching you . Amazing man just keep on keeping on

[@jacobwhalley7026]

Same man its insain isn't it!

[@brucehertogs9980]

Hey Tom, your generosity of both time and knowledge is immense. You have a HUGE heart, bro. Thank you Sensei.

[@thg705]

I can sit and listen to your expressions for hours! Don't care much for someone "shredding". IMO, not much is being conveyed when someone spews out hundreds of notes in a couple of bars! Just not my cup O' tea. The musical thoughts that you pour out just hit my soul! Thanks for all the conversation and time you spend with us all!

[@shorerocks]

Everywhere you're comfortable, I am comfortable.

[@TheBigHeavies]

Hope I’m not 2 years too late to vote for this as the new spot. What a badass backdrop of amps/guitar rack

[@mattelder9147]

I can learn here, I could learn there, I could learn anywhere. You, a guitar, and and an amp works man, doesn’t matter where.

[@RobertVincelli]

This laid-back, emotional, melodic playing is my favourite style of yours.

[@JaceEverettTV]

Sweet Christ, Tom... Just. Fucking. Perfection. Hugs to you, my man.

[@Shamilt3]

May the 4th's be with you, uncle Larry

[@roadworthy1102]

Thank God for Tom Bukovac.

[@carlpeters3815]

Hey Tom - I feel like Dean's brother Rob is one of the most underrated bass players ever. I love that guy's playing. Hearing you play Sour Girl made me want to dig back thru - so good.

[@paul_smith66]

Uncle Larry... you're goiing through some tough times and you kept the Homeskoolin' rolling along. If only you could hear what you play as we hear what you play. The notes you choose to play, the notes you choose to leave out and the notes that choose you. For everyone else who may be having a tough time we can listen to your playing and listen to your words. Thanks Uncle Larry. Just so you know that your channel means a lot to a lot of people.

[@501chorusecho]

Thank you dude. Very kind words

[@ericdowning8705]

So goddamn effortless. Uncle Larry is the GOAT 🐐

[@brandonpearce3509]

Love it, man. Excited for Friday. Got a hotel right by Farmland. Lookin forward to checking out Uncle Larry’s breakfast joint.

[@garrycole8909]

Holy Cow! Man you are unreal. Rock On!

[@tedruybalid2262]

Hey Tommy, Love the new Homeskoolin classroom! The warmth of the wall colors really compliment the tones of the brown and tweed Fender and Magnatone amps and thereby set off the lacquer shades on the guitar bodies whatever colors they be. Can't wait to see the sunburst 335s in there along with Senn Strat, the Firebirds, and Telecaster. The sound is better too....with an almost reverby insouscance! (sic?) That 58 Paul really does it for me, though. That's what dreams are made of! Oh yeah...then there's your excellent playing!

[@georgebennett2243]

the room colors are warm... love the look....i am not aware Tom has a telecaster..never saw him playing one except one time...he was playing one at a friend's place....The Les Paul, I believe is a 59 Burst...

[@scottemmonsmusic6001]

Alice says a fourth is a fifth from the other side of the looking glass. But the groove remains fantabulous.

[@zascandilo]

Hola querido Uncle Bukovac! Un saludo desde España. Gracias por tu musica y tus clases! Eres pura clase, pura crema. Para mi de los mejores guitarristas actuales. Te deseo la mejor de las vidas , y que puedas reiniciar la vida con toda la felicidad! Hello dear Uncle Bukovac! A greeting from Spain. Thanks for your music and your knowledge! You are pure class, pure cream. For me one of the best current guitarists. I wish you the best of lives, and that you can restart yout life with all the happiness!

[@earlfarrior2100]

Glad Uncle Larry was able to get out of the cold garage. Now heat and air condition. No telling where he will go now. Always great.

[@robbiewilliamstewartgp425]

Uncle Larry, we are family & support you 100%. You are a gift to the Nashville community & every one of us. Hope all improves. Sounds & looks good!!!

[@alexgeddes6245]

Beyond stoked to catch you doing your thing at 3rd & Lindsley Friday!

[@BizarrePudding]

"Live from The Squeaky Chair"...Love the new set TB and Happy Easter...Personally - I've gotten to the age where I'm so forgetful that I can hide my own eggs at the Easter Egg Hunt!...Glad to hear you say that things are looking up...We're all behind you friend!

[@PhilM-lk1mt]

I can only dream of getting such great sound. Room suits you well.

[@LeoTorresGuitar]

Man I don't care about the setting, as long as it's you doing the playing and the talking, I have what I need

[@bobgure]

I love the new room!

[@JasonHobbsGuitarist]

Made my day! I take great pride in being part of your class. Love the motivation I’m getting from your teachings and watching you play. 2021 is your year Uncle Larry 😊 🍻 Cheers

[@GeeBear3.1415]

man Tommy you play great. I listen to a lot of music 99% of it before 1970 jazz blues but of the that 1% after 1970 it is mostly you. I don't have a clue how you come up with it but that is some lovely soulull music. Thank you

[@johnescosaii3947]

Hey, Uncle Larry, I admire the crown molding in the new space for the skoolin' show. I have played professionally for the last57 years. I am not going to set the world on fire with my chops, but I have been around the block and done a bit of studio time also. I simply want you to know how much I admire and enjoy your playing. The rest of the class is also very enjoyable, but your touch, your tones, and ultimately your musicality, are what truly set you apart. Thanks so much!

[@nicholasrussell620]

Just the right amount of clutter and backlighting. Definitely a winner. Sounds killer

[@therealnashvillerock]

good tones and acoustics. say it's a keeper. the fourth with that Les Paul. Very Allman Brothers without the second guitar. cool! Hang in and keep up the killer guitar works.

[@ryanwilliams8420]

The crown molding is next level in the new space, way better than the old garage.

[@philanthony2879]

That new homeskoolin' classroom is sounding just right! Happy Easter Uncle Larry.

[@toddbeeman5933]

Great looking new place.. sounds awesome! Glad to hear you're still doing well. You're in our thoughts uncle Larry! Sending peace & love from Missouri -Todd

[@Maul201]

Love the new space! I’m late to the party but have been bing watching Uncle Larry! You’re the best Tom!

[@kushmannyc1495]

cool as shit that back drop is what I want for Christmas!!!!! A room full of old guitars and amps who could ask for more Cant wait for the live stream cheers uncle Larry!!!!!!!

[@petermcconaghie7745]

Room sounds sweet Larry - rawk!! I'll be off to slide around some 4ths. Thanks man.

[@lastofthe4horsemen279]

Sending you the best from St.Louis. the sliding 4th is something I'm going to work on now.thanks Tom.The new set has a good feel.

[@donaldryder5534]

Love the new class room - better sound, better light, and much better view of all your drool-worthy amps!

[@electroKrunch]

Soul felt, bud!! I feel the tears & gasps in that piece... Bring in on brother!!

[@michaelmyers1270]

I watch you play and cannot decide if is should throw all my stuff in the trash, or just work harder! I have a lot of respect for what you and other session musicians do, would love to be a fly on the wall. I look forward to the show! Although I will be in St. Louis, my heart and soul will be with you! Knock'm dead!

[@aamdesign4672]

Room looks good! Nice work.

[@thepartimemusician65]

Top of the tree player, great human being.Keep rocking’ uncle Larry:)

[@paulkontz]

Movin on up! From the garage to the spare bedroom. Sounds surprisingly good in there.

[@weschilton]

Nothing like a room full of vintage amps and guitars for the show! Very nice!

[@08RES]

hey tom, looks and sounds amazing. thanks for the commitment to this thing you do, it really is amazing to enjoy your playing in the raw and pick up a note or two. you inspire us brother..keep it going!

[@timsellsted521]

Nice room uncle Larry. Like the slidey 4ths lesson. Much appreciated. Wish I could be in Nashville for the show...maybe down the road...

[@JOSEPHOFMERCURY]

Hey Tom (personally I have always loved the “Hey Tom”) my sincerest support to yah from all angles, glad to hear it’s going well but change always asks a bit more of us doesn’t it, so sending good & golden vibes from up here in the “Great White North” AKA Toronto, CANADA. I started watching your videos about September of last year & have finally made it to the here and now. All along the way & like never before I have been overtaken by an undeniable, at times, debilitating compulsion to pick up my guitar & explore. An unhinged inspiration I credit quite thankfully to the HomeSkool’n operation you’ve been kind & generous enough to keep rolling these many months. Congratulations on licking at the heels of 100 & I’ll certainly be tuning in on April 9th for the big show. JOSEPH

[@davidpepper442]

Sure wish I could be there Friday night Tom. But I'll be there in spirit, floating out above the crowd for both sets. Can't wait!

[@danyoakes6599]

I just love hearing you play Tom! Thank you for sharing your gift and inspiring us to what is possible with the guitar! Tone and chops for days! Love it! Take care, and enjoy your new chapter!

[@ginoinzo]

Man Uncle Larry is the cure to the Sunday scaries... Seeing stacks of vintage amps and guitar cases is a million times better than the old garage, love it Uncle Larry.

[@gilmacevers253]

I love what he pushes out there!

[@falschnehmung]

... like your finger-pickings ... one of the few videos I look right through end ... to the last second ... tnx sooooo much !

[@Puckburglar]

In 121 1/2 episodes, this is by far my favorite opener. The journey to get here may have had trials, but what a sweet destination. Cheers Uncle Larry!

[@buzzfretwear2906]

I haven’t been to Nashville in YEARS but man, would I love to go see this show and do the hang.

[@johngallaghermusic9777]

Hey Tom. yeah, the room sounds and looks great. Hope you got sorted out ok after the heavy weather. looking forward to the 100th. All the best

[@edpetrik501]

Way back when ..I did a whole bunch of ..fifths....I thought they really worked...I was wrong ..they didn’t .So now I’m doing a little bunch of ..12 ounces ...so far they seem to be working ....update at 11...Keep on keeping on Junior..👍😎🎸

[@toddj9548]

It sounds and looks great! I like the look and sound better than the garage.

[@annie4971]

Love, love, love , the new studio, 🎶🤓🇦🇺

[@jonasgrundsted1977]

Great new Homeskoolin’ Classroom. Good sound - I like it. 🎸👍

[@jordandangelo180]

Really like the new set up Uncle Larry. Super cool amps, cool artwork on the walls and you with a majestically awesome Les Paul. It’s more Home Skoolin’ than ever. You’ve taught all of us to open up our minds and ears and to look at the instrument in a very unique way especially with intervals. Man, I wish I lived closer and could make it to the gig!

[@brownsfan7753]

The new guitar spot is great! Always special to see and hear the Les Paul!!

[@JohnBrown-z2u]

Man, I'm a pretty decent player who was born with a little talent and I put in the work and continue to grow the best I can, but holy shit your playing is on a level I know I can never reach. But I can try! Love your lessons. I always get something out of these. Thank you.

[@jato1956]

Hey Tom, love the sliding 4ths lesson. Reminds of Pagey doing the final lead solo on 'Ten Years Gone'. And that Lester is drool worthy...as always!

[@danieldoke7725]

Sounds great....Love the new LoFi "Inside" homeskoolin set. Great piece on the sliding 4ths, thanks for your time to share the knowledge. Im bringing my older brother who just moved to the area and originally inspired me to pick up the guitar 40yrs ago to the 1st show Friday night...Whew WHOOO!

[@cameronmee7634]

Transcribed this lesson's opening, and I'm gonna play it at my berklee recital in two weeks. Beautiful playin' uncle larry.

[@jamesgomez753]

So absurdly good. All the time.

[@CianRourke]

The new Home Skoolin classroom is excellent. No more freezing you but off next winter.

[@davidkieltyka9]

I “get” the fretboard well enough to find all the fourths with a bit of thought. Then there’s Tom, who has so thoroughly internalized the fretboard that finding notes, chords, and intervals takes no more thought or effort than breathing.

[@RicG.]

Love the new Homeskoolin' room! It's much better than the big living room area you used for a few shows.

[@matthewf1979]

The set is *PERFECT!* Including the squeaky chair.

[@budsorrels1922]

Uncle Larry the new place looks good and sounds great .

[@ckhulse6557]

Always remember doing a Passover Seder with you many years ago around Easter

[@slgam]

These blues you’ve been playing are beautiful. There could be an album here ya know! 🥰👍

[@slgam]

BTW - just enough chaos in the background to make us feel at home. I am sure as gear comes and goes, and “stuff” gets tossed randomly on the pile, it will acquire that “ garage” vibe. 😆 And the sound is great! BTW - where can we watch the livestream on Friday night? Sadly, I will not be in Nashville. Still stuck in Canada behind a Covid-closed border. 😢

[@2dazetake]

Were here for your inner space, your outer space doesn't matter to us bro,go chase those dreams now man,our ears and hearts are always open, can't wait to hear the collab album with Dean.

[@pauldavis5489]

Uncle Larry, love the new music studio, what a cool house! Good choice my friend, Keep on rockin' with the amazing lessons. Thank you for all your uplifting lessons!!!!

[@amirfarzanyavarianfar1236]

There is something of class and home combined for the new Scene. Love it.

[@thegigstersband]

So funny...99 1/2... i was wondering what you were gonna do these last couple of weeks. Flying from Seattle to see both shows Friday! Can't wait!

[@onewiththings]

I wish noisy chairs were my problem playing guitar. You rock like no other. I'm the Tommy Boy of guitar playing.

[@iantaylor827]

Didn't bore me to sleep on the sliding 4ths at all - mind you it is 3pm here! Great - looking forward to the live stream. Thanks for all the teaching - I've learned heaps from the 99.5 lessons

[@phillyflood]

Dig the set. Roll with it. Wishing my dear Uncle Larry well.

[@jakesinclair6348]

Currently looking for a new place to live after a long ass break up, while drinking a Hahn ultra crisp beer (green bottle) here in Australia. Thanks for the videos, honesty and inspiration uncle Larry... might be some international heartache vibes going round but you are a constant light. All the best brother.

[@kingberzerk]

What a fine tune.

[@timburkhalter114]

This is the spot! It’s kinda like a good mullet...sweet tones up front and mess in the back.

[@cvond]

As always, it's great hanging with you, Tom. Thanks. And the new digs look and sound great. Pleasingly informal, but with a touch of class.

[@WillyKidd]

Uncle Larry, thanks for the peace, love, and fire imbued within what it is you share with the world. Killer playing.

[@sethdad9992]

So damn Jelly at all you guys goin on friday night! In SC so not that far..wish i could be there man! Keep up the good work.. Jammed out today using your forth's lesson.. Fun stuff! I see you use a iphone for recording says Brain h. Crazy..

[@briano.5746]

Love and Light to you Tom! You're amazing brother. Thank you! 🐉💀👽🎸🎶🎵🧠

[@johnhines8956]

I was having a rough night at work, but knowing I have this lesson waiting for me in the morning is getting me through. Many thanks Tom.

[@uyngane]

Hit em with the...!

[@CalliGom]

New set for Homeskoolin' is great. Looking forward to volume 100. Take care, greetings from Argentina.

[@Stratocaster1969x]

Ha! Love the picture on the wall. Just framed the new one and put it in my practice space. Love all the great amps too. Happy Easter and thanks for all the inspiration Uncle Larry and fellow homeskoolers!

[@ItsFinished]

Godspeed Mr. B!

[@DreaNEO]

Thanks BUK!!! I just finished ripping the audio to mp3 for all opening songs for all 99 episodes. Now I can listen to the jams on my phone over and over.

[@mr_guitar_plum]

Man any way of sending on we transfer??? Just tryin... i know you put the work to get those tracks

[@steveg.3022]

I was thinking of doing that, but I’m not exactly sure how (?).

[@marcsullivan7987]

Lordy! I started doing that, but have only have the first dozen or so It’s a lot of work! Maybe Uncle Larry would give his ok to share the work borne from love and appreciation ?!

[@DreaNEO]

I would only share them if BUK gave a blessing.

[@jordandangelo180]

You’re a lucky man. Though I can create a KZbin playlist and do the same thing pretty much right? They truly are the best jams on the internet. Some of the jams before Corona Lessons started are my favorites. There is one featuring the Way Huge Fat Sandwich Fuzz and a Black Les Paul Custom ( I believe it’s a custom...) and it’s one of the coolest jam’s with one of the coolest time signatures and feel and the tone is just out of this world. It’s like the Police and Hendrix and SRV mixed up together.
