    Tom is one of the most underrated guitarists of our time. Fact. So many hundreds of millions of people have heard him play but they don't have a clue it's him.
    Easily belongs in ANY Top 100 guitar players of all-time list. Easily. You don't get to be THE 1st call session guy by being no good. Another part of that is the chill. Tom grooves with anyone and everyone. You can't be disliked and be a session player that's in demand. Doesn't matter if you're the best in your town. If you don't get along well with others, they won't EVER call you. I'd say that's probably almost as important as being able to play anything.

    Ace Frehley from KISS used an Ovation Breadwinner on the first two albums and Fenders . I have never seen Ace in the studio with a Les Paul and the Les Paul he may have used on Kiss ALIVE ! Was a 1973 Tabacco Burst for the most part .Paul Stanley used a Tele ( huh ? ) on the Love Gun album . I have never heard of KISS using a 1958 Les Paul in the studio or live .

    While I realize this is a 58 Les Paul std (one of the holy grails of guitar tone), there is a big part of me that believes you could slap pickups onto a broom stick, hand it to Bukovac and the tone would be just as amazing. The guy has magic in his fingers-I don’t think he could produce a false note with a gun to his head

    I don’t know Uncle Larry personally, but what I do know of him is the obvious talent and depth of knowledge and experience he brings to his musical endeavors and that he’s not only one of the best guitar players but also one of the best people playing a guitar. I love his content. He is a great teacher and clearly has been a great student and has a passion for sharing his thoughts in an intimate setting that keeps his UA-cam presence genuine and pure. A real gentle-man carrying the burden of celebrity very well.
