    Cool guitar, those sound awesome. Not sure if it’s the iPhone picking it up acoustically as well as the amp, but you can hear the acoustic character of the guitar in the video. Almost 335-ish but definitely it’s own vibe. That said… Can’t help but picture conjoined twins though, the kind where it’s like one gimpy person conjoined to a normal sized person but they’re super cool and fun to hang out with… but you can’t make direct eye contact because it feels weird… 😂

      that is ridiculous mate...these are some of the fucking coolest rarest guitars that ever came out of the golden era of the greatest guitar company in the history of life on this planet earth that we inhabit.
      if you saw it/held it in person you would absolutely gobsmacked by it...it is "awesome" in the true sense of the word...(the way the word is SUPPOSED to be used, but rarely is)
      i have seen people's reaction to it.
      they just stand and stare at it with their jaws agape and eyes flooded with youthful wonder....
      like a waterfall or a giant bonfire....it is a natural wonder to behold.

    I’d love nothing more than having a hour of the great Uncle Larry’s time to show me some experience. I really do believe most of us don’t need more gear just more experience. Since I started watching you last year I’ve got up almost every morning before the fam grabbed a coffee and my guitar and played. That alone has been life changing. Thanks Uncle this is the best channel on UA-cam IMO

      Spooky Worff, played bass in my favorite band of the 90s, Kevin Welch and the Overtones. Along with Kieran Kane, Harry Stinson, Biff Watson, Mike Henderson and Kevin Welch. Dead Reckoning Records emerged from that band and there were some more great albums from that label. Mike Henderson's solo records are full of smoking guitar tracks. Great stuff to search out. Worth the effort.

    $500 may sound like a lot, but considering that you have hundreds of free videos, with hundreds of hours of you playing, a serious player could learn sooooo much from. I'm an old guy, and I just don't play as much as I used to. But if I was a younger man, it would be well worth $500 to have a pros ear and advice. It's basically priceless. There was nothing like this when I was young. UA-cam is worth it just because of channels like Homeskoolin!

      If you saw the Great Guitar Build Off 2020, the winning guitar was a triple neck that had an octave neck on it. Made by Texas Toast Guitars, called the Hater Maker 😂

    Hey Uncle Larry!! When I was a young dude, I used to take a guitar lesson one week, and then pay the best drummer in the neighborhood to jam with with me for an hour, the following week. After a year, my groove progressed and the drummer no longer charged me and we became fast friends, still playing together (when time allows) forty years later. ✌️

    The drive,, reminds me of when I first started to play harmonica back in 1986. I had the good fortune of meeting a guy who could tear a harmonica to shreds. When I asked him to show me a few licks he said the best thing he could tell me was to keep that harmonica within reach and if you want to get good, take it out and play. Thanks again uncle Larry….

    Hey, Tom, hearing you speak of your dear sessioneering friends makes me think of the telepathy required to pull off a great session. Five or six guys with years of experience, subconsciously keying on each other and focused on the good of the song. The power of the unspoken word. There can't be a feeling like that, except in team sports. Human nature at its finest.

    There's solid gold wisdom there in learning through failure. Universally applicable to all walks in life. Whether it's flat-out failure or just coming up short of your intended outcomes, there's a lesson there. You just need to be introspective enough, with a fair dose of humility, to effectively mine those nuggets.

    I love your comment on exploring concepts and finding your own thing within them. If I learn a lick and not derive anything else from it besides "here's a lick that sounds cool. I'll store it away and use it sometimes." then that's an abject failure to really learn it. It's like being given a multi-tool and only using the flathead.

    Uncle Larry, you deserve every $$ you ask for your lessons. People don’t realize how MANY hours and years it took for you to get to where you are….its like the NFL running back getting a touchdown - it seems easy, but it took hours and years of work to reach that moment. So many people don’t have that concept of how it took someone to get to a certain point in life/career.
    Also - honest feedback will always be better for the student than B.S. compliments - that’s how you learn.
