I Saw Tom Bukovac Perform and This Is What I Learned

[@jonprosise7162]

Uncle Larry is great. Big sessions, playing whatever he wants and just talking. Saying what he wants. It’s kinda relaxing

[@SuperdangerStudios]

hes a gem for sure

[@Fishing_Fiddles]

I'm with you. I confidently place myself in that "advanced intermediate but completely stuck tier." I can hang in pretty much any jam, but I'm still uncomfortable. I can play a full set with a few weeks' notice and a few practice sessions, but again, it is uncomfortable. Time to step it up.

[@MatthewSpringer]

So say we all.

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Let’s do it. Just 6 months of practice should be able to put us in a good spot

[@oliverchapman51177]

uncle Larry is special

[@christopherlyons9367]

Very.✌️

[@stevecassidyguitar]

Awesome - Looking forward to the Chording episode next week 😀👌

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Thanks so much man! Gonna practice my long notes until then. Cheers!

[@ThomasHope73]

I am ALWAYS impressed by your musicianship; playing and production. So don’t let the need to practice take away from that; it shouldn’t ever be a chore. The main thread of your output, to me, feels like FUN… that’s your USP. That said I’m really digging your contemplative content too, soooo… you do you man!

[@SuperdangerStudios]

So nice of you to say my man. Thank you. I actually love practicing but I always forget to prioritize it. Trying to make it exciting for me and see if anyone else wants to join but I hear ya can’t take the joy out of music. Thank you for your continued support through all the changes to the channel. Also you’re right I can’t help but have a blast when I play guitar. It’s just so fun man. Haha. I will try to focus on that bc at the end of the day that is what matters! Cheers my man!

[@getwhatyougive]

Like a few others, I saw Uncle Larry's alter ego in the title and I clicked. I listened to your playing, tone, and note/chord choices and I subbed. Awesome channel!

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Thanks so much for the kind words. Thrilled that I didn’t use Toms name in a a careless manner. Cheers!

[@stevep9740]

You should watch some of Guthries videos about learning the triads and caged shapes all over the neck. He touches on what your saying. He said that guitarists will stress and crash and burn because they are so comfortable in one position but aren't putting in enough time getting comfortable every where else. Knowing where your chord tones are is the key literally to Guthries playing. Not saying our calibre were going to play like him but he insists thats the key to getting open and comfortable

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Great idea. I just watched his video on Beato's channel again. Lots of little gems there. Cheers!

Very inspirational. Love your channel, so much heart. Love your playing and content. So with you, more practice, focus. Live outside ones comfort zone.

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Backing tracks coming this week for the lesson!

[@jasondarling]

I was in Nashville for work and was able to catch Guthrie Trapp’s trio at the Underdog and I can attest to everything you are saying when seeing these guys in the room. It’s deep. The KZbin’s are great but can’t emulate that vibe in the room. It was like visiting the crossroads. It was going down in a deep spiritual way. I left feeling like I had witnessed something extraordinary. And I lived and played in NYC for 20+ years professionally (touring etc) still, like nothing I had witnessed before in a musical setting.

[@SuperdangerStudios]

He’s unbelievable live. The guys here are just on another planet sometimes. So amazing to see. Great to hear you caught the show.

[@jaltsch1]

Cool chat! I always tell people that my favorite players play so much less than I try to, so yeah trying to squeeze in as much as you can in a given section is probably a lack of confidence thing. Been trying to work on this. But of course, as Larry says, always good to have “horse power on tap”. Gonna see these guys in NYC in November pretty pumped!

[@SebastianFalvoMusic]

LOVE this man!!

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Thank you dude! I need long notes in my life haha

[@ArtDonna84]

So I'm an ardent fallower of you. When you said you "play alone" in your room I could so relate. Like you, my goal is to play out with others which I do at church on Sunday's when called upon BUT I so long to jam and play blues and classic rock music with others. Thanks for your thoughts and sharing

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Thanks for commenting my man. Well both get there I know it. We just gotta keep our eyes open for the opportunity. Cheers!

[@musicproductionvideos5019]

Jedd & Tom's Chording could be studied for years. Each so unique! Also Tom's piano thumb is on my list of areas to improve on.

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Absolutely. Love their phrasing and arrangements.

[@johngallaghermusic9777]

Hi . You channel just popped up in my feed and I love it. I watch all tge above channels that yoh mentioned and will add yours to this too. Ive veen promising to practice more abd I been but not enough. I also need to step it up . Great video . Thanks man . Will sub .

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Thank you so much for watching and the sub! More to come!

[@Lordofmrak]

Ok, got my like and sub. Love the goal you have. Just bought my first guitar, DGT SE you reviewed.

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Great! How do you like the DGT? Thanks for the sub!

[@Lordofmrak]

@@SuperdangerStudios Oh, I am still waiting for it to arrive, next week. My bad, I meant to say ordered DGT SE. :)

[@stephenmckenna6488]

I, too, got sucked in by the use of Tom B. in the title. But what I initially thought to be a clickbait-ish sort of thing turned out to be...a chill cat who seems like a regular guy and who seems to be at the same plateau, as a guitar player, as me. Nice to have discovered you, Mr. Superdanger. I have subd and now am part of your 13K followers. Interested to see where you go from here.

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Glad to hear I didn't disappoint! Thanks for watching and the kind words. Onward and upward!

[@andrewworleymusic]

Hey man! I met you at the recent ascap Bobby Watson show. Loved your playing and performance! I’m also a huge fan of Tom, Guthrie, and Jedd, and I’m hoping to catch one of their shows soon. Nice video man, hope to see you again around town 👍

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Yo dude! That was a fun show and Thanks for the kind words and for commenting! I think they're doing one again in the winter? You got any shows coming up? Cheers!

[@andrewworleymusic]

@@SuperdangerStudios I’ll have to try to catch that one then. And not much, but I’ll be playing the commodore Oct. 26th if you’re around. Thanks!

[@stevenhoneywill5107]

I like the goofy fun of your shorts, but it's nice to hear you talk like this. You're right, failing ain't a big deal, follow your dreams. Just make sure you get early nights too 😂

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Thanks man! Appreciate your support through the changes of the channel. I’m gonna keep pushing for my ideas until they become a reality. Cheers dude!

[@Nocean831]

I had the thought of long note holds recently too, after seeing Chris Buck’s solo on a new Cardinal Black song. Lots of long notes which I think comes from his motivation of “playing guitar as a singer would sing”. When a singer holds notes it is captivating, and by capturing that in guitar it would have a similar effect. Check out his solo if you haven’t seen it yet, it’s amazing! kzbin.info/www/bejne/r525pHqNibKZiNUsi=Cgh3JpeIWQIA1HkU

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Awesome solo. The long notes really create a lot of tension and let it build. Obviously the band follows suit as well which makes it even more pronounced. I put together a couple backing tracks to help practice long notes on the following video if you want to try em out!

[@Nocean831]

@@SuperdangerStudios I will check them out, thank you!

[@furi0nblack363]

I know it may not feel like it is paying it forward doing gear reviews, but it has its place in helping the everyday musician. You offer insight, mindsets, presets, what you listen for, what you like and don't like, tone crafting, practicing habits, session musician/gigging musician experiences, etc. Being genuine and having charisma is something you can't teach. Your goals of having the industry resources at your disposal to continue to bring folks up is a pretty awesome goal that it completely within your power and ability. You can tell the people on KZbin who are just different than the rest. But please, if you do or don't get the resources, don't worry about being like beato, the message I get from him isn't like yours. You make content for the people with your eyes set on the future of helping the people. The everyday musician either on the gig circuit, home studio, homestead rockstars, tone chasers, and learners. I look forward to your success and journey.

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Thanks my man. Really appreciate this message. Happy to hear that im bringing something helpful to the table. Cheers dude!

You got to love guy who has a gold slide bar permanently attached to his pinky, lol. Just kidding. Just watched my first video of yours and enjoyed it very much.

[@SuperdangerStudios]

hahaha I was in the middle of practice and forgot to take it off. It does look pretty pretentious doesnt it? Thank you for watching though!

Thumb pick, slide, tele…its about to go down.

[@SuperdangerStudios]

Haha* loving the difficulty curve learning these new tools.

[@nicolasmaurin182]

Hi. I never understood why you don’t already have 100s of thousand subscribers by now. As the channel is great. As you have high goals in the music industry and needs more subscribers you to support your projects, maybe you should be more YT traffic oriented. By posting more regularly shorter videos (I don’t mean YT shorts). A bit like Johnathan Corey, who can release one video per day. Also if your ambition is to play more with other musicians, I would like to see you gigging once a week and film that, share experiences, music or gear related. More vids and playing in a band : killing 2 birds with one stone. Thanks again for the channel. Great content as always. Cheers

Yep, I play alone as well and have to start playing with others! The neck of your tele looks awesome! If you do not mind y asking, what tele is that?

[@SuperdangerStudios]

We gotta play with others man! Best part about music! Let's both try and find a band to play with by the summer of 2025. The neck is from warmoth bc the truss rod broke in the original. This is a 52AVRI Fender but switched out the bridge, pickups, and neck. I did a video on it that I'll link.

Hey, don’t worry about that guy’s comment to you about starting a record label. You are free to your ideas. If he does’t like It, he should just keep moving on. Forget him. Opinions are like noses, everyone has one.
