A Big thank you to Unc Larry for being in Episode one . What was your first real guitar?
such a great series to start maan, i got my first 85' strat given to me by my mentor. and i still loved it until now.
My first real guitar was a 77 tobacco sunburst... And of course I had to hack the bridge pick up for a PAF.
Hahaha Jackson Randy rhoads white pinstripe 😂
:-) Thanx To Both Of You. That Was Enjoyable. A Gibson SG That Wouldn't Stay In Tune. It Had A Warped Neck. 🗣️☮️🌏🌎🌍
80's kramer Striker
For being who he is and all he’s accomplished - it’s a beautiful thing how accessible he is and down to earth! The world is a better place with Bukovac living in it!!
He is a total class act. One the best players I've seen, period. Tasty, melodic, inventive, versatile. And humble. I guess the only other master player who can play like that is Tim Pierce, especially in improvising. Such tasty playing, damn. Been a fan of his channel for years.
@@EdBender like way bacl since 2009 wayyy back lol
Just the look on his face doing this. Man, you made him feel like a kid again. Awesome.
10:40 I remember when I bought my first brand new Gibson, it was a 1977 Les Paul Deluxe, cost was $485 w/HSC.
I had worked multiple Summer Jobs to save up enough to make the purchase, I was only 15 years old.
A big thanks to my Parents for driving me back and forth from all my jobs that year.
Had a shot at a 79 deluxe in tobacco burst. Passed on it for $2500 😢
I had one like his except someone installed a DiMarzio Super distortion in the bridge. It had a switch to make it single coil.
@@reverandscales Oh yeah, the infamous Super Distortion, back in the late '70s a few of my guitars had those (I'd been consuming way to much Ace Frehley).
I ended up trading my '77 Les Paul Deluxe because I didn't want to route it for a humbucker. I wish I'd known back then what I know now.
@@sneifert1968 I wish I'd kept my '77 Deluxe. I've had regrets trading away my '77 Deluxe ever since. Because of that I've kept every guitar I've acquired and stopped selling/trading them. Since 1985 I've kept every guitar I've purchased.
i'll give ya $500 for it
I still have a 1974 Goldtop Deluxe I bought new for $354 when I was 16yo. All original except the tuners.
Ha! Same here. 20th anniversary custom. Black. I’ll never sell it. Still gig it sometimes. I still remember the day when I bought it and brought it home .
It’s weird seeing Uncle Larry’s kitchen from a different angle! 😂
This is why I don't watch much television these days. So much better content on UA-cam. This will be a great series to look forward to, Robert.
This Deluxe is beautiful. I enjoyed his story and love for his instrument
love that guy and his Yuenglings
Tom Bukovac is an historical musical treasure. May he live forever!!! 🙏😁 Great series Robert. This should be fun!! 🎸
This man’s amazing- he owns 2 of the finest examples of Les Pauls ever made, a 60 ‘burst and 57 gold top and then he has his deluxe. By his own admission, not their finest era of LP production (Norlin era). I have a 70’s and it’s indeed a boat anchor. But he’ll hang on it as it means something. Been following him since laid up with Covid and I’m convinced anything he does has meaning. This dude has accidentally become so much to so many. I continue to follow him for what he’ll do or say next as much as his guitar prowess. Great guest and video!
I have an '81 Standard, same exact color scheme. The binding is turning orange. I have the same exact same neck paint wear off, the inlays are not consistent in size, and sometime in the late 80s I somewhat foolishly swapped out the original pickups for (don't laugh) a George Lynch "Screamin Demon" n the bridge and some sort of "Pearly Gates" in the neck (both Seymour Duncan), trading the original pickups for the wiring job, lol. It has a replacement tailpiece and bridge, and has been refretted, oh yeah, also replacement tuning keys. It is total boat anchor for sure. But...people love it, it plays great! And I'll never sell it, never even considered it.
@@joelhague5515 I’ve done equally foolish things with guitars over the years too. How about routing out a 62 original Strat for a Floyd Rose, and doing such a bad job that it made the guitar useless!
He still has the guitar passion. You can feel it
So many parallels here. My first real guitar was a ‘69 Les Paul Deluxe goldtop. I got it for Christmas is 1975, when I was 12. It was $500. I initially started playing because of my brother Doug. I am the youngest of 6. There are 6 years between me and the next youngest.
Omg I have the exact same Gibson - LP, black, deluxe, but built 139 days earlier (8-11-1978)! My bathroom scale says she weighs 11.4 lbs. The only thing wrong with mine is belt buckle rash on the back and I broke the toggle switch cap doing the Ace Freeley jitter sound! I’m the same age as Tom but nowhere near as talented as either of you two.
What an awesome surprise- thank you for thinking of doing this series. I’m already looking forward to the next one.
I'm getting in to electric guitar now plus taking guitar lessons at the local music store. I purchased a used les paul Studio 16 years ago & USA Stratocaster, 2 acoustics ( Taylor and or Ovation)
Leaning the scales pentatonic A minor and A major
i'm 1 year younger than Tom...i wish i could go back to the 80's and 90's knowing how special that time was.
I’ve got a black ‘78 Deluxe just like this. It’s my favorite guitar.
What's so cool about music is that it brings people of different backgrounds, ages, and abilities together. This is a great series idea, there's no shortage of stories around Nashville.
he is our mentor about guitars and amps and music and the humanity in between
Tom is the ultimate sweetheart and a pro’s pro. Thank you for featuring Uncle Larry.
I knew from the thumbnail it would be a Deluxe. I have a wine red '76 , which I love dearly. Uncle Larry was talking about Filtertrons the other day, which I'm also a big fan of, and those minis sound closer than anything.
That was such an intimate and great interview. Just sitting in the kitchen with a six pack on the counter. Felt like I was with buddies. Keep em coming. Excellent 👍 and relaxed
How can you not love Uncle Larry. My first real guitar was a 1985 MIJ contemporary strat I got for my 18th birthday. That was my main guitar for 30 years until I gave it to my youngest daughter on her 21st birthday.
I’m 55 as well and still own the first really good guitar I ever bought. My wine red ‘87 Les Paul Standard. Bought it in Jan ‘88 with all the money I got that Christmas. Still love playing it whenever I can. Love the vid, really takes me back. 😊
That's cool, man. I love how the stories of instruments are the stories of their players
So glad Uncle Larry is your #1 Episode.
Are you going to have Austin submit a story?
Great Content Robert, Thank You
🤩YES! I have my uncle's 1971 Les Paul Deluxe - still rocking it!
Enjoy it
Awesome video, Robert. Tom’s set the bar high for your next interviews. Amazing to see his first real guitar. Looking forward to seeing more of these.
Amazing my 1979 Les Paul deluxe is my one first guitar I got it from Cairo Egypt 2007 from the original owner, the guitar can tell stories something about it, even though I have done changed the pots refret 50s wiring and 1961 mini PAF from Epiphone sorrento now in the bridge, great episode
How effing cool was that! Sensational vid and great to see Uncle Larry's LP and hear the story. Love your work man.
Wow. What a shocker. I have a 1977 model exactly like that one.
11:50 Aldo Nova, I think?
The best part of this interview is when Tom speaks about his son and his love for the guitar I’m 63 years old and have a son who is 34 who just didn’t connect to instruments so he is very proud and lucky to have his son who shares his passion. But as i also say the harder a dad works with his son the luckier he seems to get .
And I got to learn Stop Draggin’ my Heart Around from the maestro, fantastic. You’re onto a winner with this serious lad, outstanding.
What a great story. I watch Tom's channel all of the time......love the guy. He's played with everyone who is anyone and has a great reputation in the industry. He doesn't have an arrogant bone in his body.
So cool how an instrument brings out so many memories!
Such a great presentation. Thanks for this, hope the series continues on for many episodes!
Off to a great start! Cheers Robert and Tom!!
Oh man please please please keep this series going. Love the stories and guitar knowledge, it's a privilege to be able to listen.
I really enjoyed watching this!!! I love anything guitar and any kind of guitar documentary!!! And this way right in my lane! Thanks for sharing!
This was so much fun! Please keep doing this series!
This was phenomenal - when I saw you had a crossover with Uncle Larry it was a must-click. Loved hearing all about this guitar, the stories surrounding it, and the songs and rigs from the "Boy Wonder" years - I'm 36 but thought my classic rock knowledge was decent - I couldn't name a couple of those riffs though and have to go back to school.
I remember I too was obsessed with Les Pauls, having spammed the Song Remains the Same videos all through my early teens. My first electric was a Korean-made Tokai Les Paul Custom "Black Beauty" style, sans the white binding and with a presumably rosewood fretboard instead of Ebony as it was a lower-end model. Looking back, a pretty underwhelming instrument, but to me it meant the world when my dad (who passed in 2009) accompanied me to the music store and surprised me by talking the salesman down in price then said we would buy it, him "topping up" my pitiful savings to pay the cost. I'm not ashamed to say I cried like a baby that day, remembering how when I first told him I was going to take guitar lessons he thought I'd never stick with it and would drop out when my "fingers got sore". I knew he'd seen how persistent and dedicated I'd become after years of borrowing other peoples guitars, and I knew I had made my old man proud.
Thanks for this and much love to both you and Uncle Larry!
This hits super close to home for me. We're a year apart, I also grew up being absolutely mesmerized by The Song Remains the Same. I watched it more times than probably any single live concert I've seen, and Jimmy was such a huge inspiration and motivation for me to practice endlessly on my Dad's old acoustic. My first electric was a Lemon Drop Epiphone Les Paul I saved up for, and by the end of high school I saved up enough money from mowing lawns and selling my childhood game collection that I got myself a real, Honey Burst Gibson Les Paul Standard.
My Dad also passed away since then, have his old BOSS Super Overdrive. To this day it sits on my pedalboard. I've grown more accustomed to playing Super Strats since those days, but I will always cherish the Les Paul and everything it represents. Thanks for sharing your story man, keep on playing!
What a great idea. This was really good. Good luck on this Robert.
This was great, Love Uncle Larry and having him on your channel is awesome.
This is cool as hell. Looking forward to more of these videos! All the best to you both.
Such a GREAT episode! Not only do I enjoy both of you guys as players and speakers, but the history is so cool. Well done and thanks! 👍🏻👍🏻
I love that he kept that one guitar! Thanks for sharing
Great video! I love Tom and it was great to hear the story about his guitar! I can't wait to see more of these Guitar Stories videos!! 🙂
This is the series that people never knew they needed! Yes!
I see Tom I click the thumbs up. You gotta love the guy.
That’s a great story, thanks for sharing. My ‘77 Special double cut came with a case just like that.
Thank you @RobertBakerGuitar! I have the utmost respect for @501ChorusEcho and you, so it is wonderful to see you feature Uncle Larry.
Great new series and you hit a home run with ep1!! 👍👍🤘
This is going to be an epic series. I'm already ready for episode 2 😊 I loved the story and his song list!
This was great! Good guitar talk, and getting to know Tom!
Hi Rob, great story on Tom with the black Les Paul. I actually was giving a 1979 Les Paul Tobacco Burst for my 16th birthday by my parents. I still have the guitar today, and is as close to mint as you can get. Never changed a thing, very rarely used live. I actually have a very similar purple case like Tom has in this video. My guitar however is a one piece body, not a pancake. Mini Humbuckers, big head stock, literally nothing ever change it's beautiful. The music story we got it from did not have an original gibson case and sold me a black case w/ purple inside just like Toms. The list price and the Store was 1,000. It sat for quite awhile and my parents got is for 500 on a sale and 75 for the case. This was a giant purchase by my parents, we did not have the money, but they managed somehow. To this day I still play and have been in many bands, so I made sure it didn't go to waste....
I love both you guys, and what an incredible concept for a video series! Best wishes, I cant imagine anything but wild success for these. Keep them coming ! ! !
Man, I really enjoyed this video! Loved seeing the sentimental memories, the humor, the great stories. It's awesome that Tom asked you about living in Nashville 🙂 Rock on Robert!
Love hearing these stories.we all wish we still had are 1st guitar.
I just saw a mirror of my childhood. Even your bands name. I called us “Vengence” because I had just seen the Judas Priest/Iron Maiden concert in the fall of 1982, and Screaming for Vengence was their big song then. I spelled it this way even though it’s wrong. My first good guitar was an early 80’s White les Paul custom. I played 75% of all those songs you just played. It’s amazing how infectious guitar was back then, the music was great. An entire generation of new young sprouting guitar players came out of that late 70’s/early 80’s era. Robert, Love your new series and Uncle Larry was the perfect person for your first episode. I think Tom took the Vengence name just before us, Dang! Thanks you guys.
Fantastic debut episode for Guitar stories. I really enjoyed it. Congrats and I look forward to seeing more
I moved to Nashville from Ohio myself and being a 4+ decades now guitarist and living here and following your channel for long time and love your channel and honesty & now you started this and exciting to see who you found for this as I have meet some incredible musicians since living here. Awesome dude and can’t wait for the next one! Keep rocking Robert🤘🎸🤘
Great start to this series. Looking forward to more episodes.
Great way to launch a new series! Looking forward to upcoming episodes. Thanks
Thanks Robert for doing this and thanks to Tom for doing it. Extremely cool story, stories and the guitar itself. What a great tone that thing has !
Ever since discovering Tom from some of his incredible gear videos, I've grown to have a massive respect for Uncle Larry. So awesome to see you guys hanging out here!
This is awesome. Love stories like these, and how can you not love Uncle Larry? Looking forward to more in this series!
I love these chill environments of 2 dudes talking shop. We all love this. Keep this going Robert. We are all music lovers at the end and that shines through in this format.
Actually, one of the best videos done on your channel. You need to do more who's who, and what's happenin' videos with interesting people in the scene. I really enjoyed this.
Awesome concept and interview. Really cool to hear the story behind the guitar and a smattering of songs from back in the day. Thanks, great job
The first studio I recorded in Heartwood Studios I used a 3203 Marshall. Still have it with the matching 4 x 10 cab, recorded with an old Kramer, all bought used. Worked great and did a pile of gigs with it and never let me down. I don't play it often but one amp I will never sell because of so many memories. Tom is so great, just love his videos too. Great video, thanks for posting!
Great Idea Mr. Baker!!
Guthrie Trapp's sea foam Tele (not actually a Tele) is a must. He had that whip for ever.
Love hearing Toms stories and his lessons always look forward to any video with him in it
Well done man, your best video series yet!!. Keep it up
Love the set list. All Those tunes flooded the rock and roll airwaves. Glad you hung onto the deluxe.
Great stuff. Like your guru bubba story. Nice to get the ship pointed in the right direction. Again great stuff.😎✌️
That was AWESOME! I could have listened to that all day long! Nothing better than sitting and talking gear, gear stories and sharing memories with someone who appreciates it as much as you do! As you look over to see your significant other sound asleep on the couch....LOL! Loved this.
Bro, I totally appreciate this episode. We all have that 1 guitar that means something even if it isn't the best, it's sentimental. Keep these stories coming and well done on this episode.
Great video. My Rudolf Schenker flying V from 2012 has the Volute and the smaller headstock and I love it. Long live the volute!
Great series Robert…looking forward to future episodes!
Thx guys very cool. Memories of my LP black custom in '79. Nothing like it.
This is a great idea for a series and an amazing start with the essential Tom Bukovac . Well done.😊
I really enjoyed this man. Great idea!
What a great idea for a series..can’t wait to see who else you have lined up…I watched Wes Borland talking about his..that would be a good one to hear a deep dive on.
Yes great idea! Keep them coming
This is so good, so much fun to hang out and listen.
What an amazing episode! Fantastic stuff, guys.
Great video!! Thanks guys!!
Thank you Robert ! That was an awesome start ! Tom is a fantastic player and very cool cat. I’m also from northeast Ohio and I was particularly amazed when he mentioned Mike Szuter and plugging him … I’m 51, but used to go watch Mike and his brother CJ in their band Outta the Blue …
What a cool idea for a series, always enjoy new content from your channel, Tom Bukovac is brilliant!
Loved it! More content like this!!
I love this concept! Keep it up buddy. I live in Nashville and I just love the vibe out here and there are so many good guitar players out here. Can't wait to see the next episode!
Great start to your new series. Love it.
Totally normal-looking kitchen... except for the half-stack tucked behind the island/counter. That gave me a chuckle.
Fun visit overall, too. Keep up the good work.
This was great! I love hearing these stories!
Uncle Larry is a national treasure.
Thank you for the episode!
Great first episode! And God Bless Uncle Larry, what a wonderful Christmas story for 12 year old Tommy B.
Cool interview with Tom Bukovac. Loved it.
This was sooo good! Thank you Robert and Tom!
Excellent video Robert. This is a very original concept, hopefully you'll post lots of Episodes...I can't wait to see who is coming next! 🤘
Yeah, great idea for a video series. Love it!
