Don’t change nothing Tom. It’s hard for me to find someone on your level that teaches and lay’s it out there like you do. Your straight forward and I like that
I needed to hear you say be patient. Sometimes I feel like beating on my hands and fingers when I cant get it to do what I wanna do. Amazing stuff as always.
Everyday at work I can’t wait for break time so I can see if you uploaded a new video for us. Thank you for giving me something to look forward to during the work day! 🎸
I just discovered your channel in the last couple of weeks. I am hooked on your content. Thank you for showing an old Omaha musician what a session player looks like. 👏
Uncle Larry, Your show got me through a deep depression of lost tour dates in 2020 and this episode ticked all of the boxes of entertainment. Thanks again for keepin it real. Cheers from Atl
I love that cars song. Always have. You nailed it. That sounded great. Really captured the feeling of the song. Nice work … and the playing at the end was so good . Love it.
Ok I finally get it! :) You have talked about playing minor blues over major chords before and I never quite understood...or "heard" it. But in this example it was very clear to me. Thanks Tom!
I don't know guitar or music to the point that I can follow what you are teaching or explaining. However, I listen and try. But for the most part its how you speak to us like we're all family hanging out at Grandma's after dinner time. Love what you do Tom! Thanks friend!
LOVED the Cars cover! Thank you. I never knew there were harmonics in there. Its cool to think that 64 years ago in a Kalamazoo when they built that legend of a guitar it was destined to find such a perfect home.
Love it! Playing both guitar parts of Good Times Roll- then a tease of My Best Friends Girl. Hard to believe these are old songs. I play them so often it gets lost on me how long ago they came out.
i needed this video so much today ... thank you dude! BTW Sutton should have you as a guest on Artist Works explaining your loose wrist ... separate the wrist from the arm explanation .... seriously dude ... i blew my shoulder clean off because i was too tense ...
Hey Tom! Drew Winn's album is on repeat on my Spotify, and you're to blame for that!! Watched the whole session video! You sure know how to manage a session and arrange a song. Good producer skills man! You are much more than a guitarist... You are a quality musician man. Thanks, keep being inspired and inspiring!
my 7 year old loves the cars, just not when I'm not trying to play them. Thanks for the tip on the harmonic, I love the good times roll.....thought it was easy until I listened closer. Love being able to get better with your knowledge and ear. So grateful for your videos. Thank you! Jason AZ
Hi Uncle Larry I was just watching some Doyle Dykes which I love and next I saw you put up this video. Your jamming to the Cars which I love as well was so great. You bring so much to the guitar and to UA-cam I have no doubt you will hit much more than 100k however I doubt you will ever retire as you and the guitar similar to Doyle you guys ARE the guitar and you ARE music. Best wishes and regards from the sunny silicon valley in California! Thank you for another charming and frustrating (lol) video. I have a lot to work on now
Hey Larry! I live in Surrey UK! It can be over rated at times. However I once bought a Les Paul from Charlie Chandlers Guitar Experience in Kingston upon Thames - where all the players like gilmour, knopfler, beck, Bowie and Clapton used to go! So much history in that shop… Love your channel - it’s kept me sane for the last few years! Love from the UK. Get over here and play, would love to See You live!
My husband and I have your shows on most of the day. You bring warmth, wisdom and inspiration into our home; it feels like having an amazingly talented friend over for beers - and spending an hour hanging out, enjoying great music and gaining invaluable insights. We can’t thank you enough. Always inspired by what you share with us. ❤ I was thirteen when I heard the Cars first album…and was absolutely blown away. Thank you for this!
One of your more recent subscribers here, from Bristol in UK. I think you'd enjoy some of the place names down our way - Clapton-in-Gordano is a good example. Love the mix of tech talk and humour, and the double neck Blues for Palestine(?), Ohio was so poignant.
The Cars was my first concert, 1978 at Pine Knob in Michigan. Huge fan here. Likewise, my daughters always requested The Cars on our trips into school during their younger years.
Elliott Easton….one of the most underrated players, so good. I commented last week about buying a Leslie 18 from the widow of the man who taught Ben Orr how to play guitar and bass here in Northeast Ohio
I am from richmond, surrey originally, home of stones, pete townsend ect, but live in bristol now. However have had to drive to epsom, Surrey regularly in recent months, original home of james page and jeff beck. We have played the homeskoolin playlist before on the drive down. Introduced my wife to battle of epping forest on that drive... Greetings from quaint old little England uncle, Jake.
I love The Cars so much. Elliot Easton is so incredibly underrated. He's one of the best dudes in the 80's. Incredible tone. Incredible Phrasing. Excellent note choices.
I met Holdsworth at a guitar show in London in the 80’s when I was on a stand demonstrating guitars and he was opposite me with the synthaxe. I was pretty young but he put me at ease and was happy to show me stuff and give advice. I am shocked to hear you saw him drinking Heineken as he was a cask ale drinker and even invented his own pump which would give traditional English ale a superb head. Heineken would have been about half the strength of his normal brew!
It sounds so good when you play it, Tom. My old farts band does a few Cars songs and I quickly learned how difficult those Elliott Easton parts are to recreate accurately. He is a great creative player. Best I could do is come up with something close that was passable, like the solo break on "My Best Friend's Girl".
That 58 and 59 burst was the year's I was expressing about flipping your front pick either around or reversing. I've heard the tones coming out of one like that and it was amazing.
Another outstanding video! Allan H. Stood next to me drinking a Heineken. He was drinking it by putting the bottle to the side of his mouth instead of in the middle. I said Hi but did not get a chance to talk much to him as Steve Hackett, Steve Morse or Ronnie Montrose hit the stage. I am too old and too many concerts to be 100 % sure.
Great EE stuff! Went to XTS to pick up my mid mod boss eq the other day and was greated at the door by a gentleman wearing a green Home Skoolin T shirt. Felt immediately at home!!
That first cars LP was the first album I bought on CD, when I got a CD player in 1990. It was packaged in those "long boxes" used back then. Good band, they cranked out some catchy tunes.
Hey Fello Cleve Lander! Im from the west side so we probably cant be friends. Ha! I stumbled on your show from a clip that Tim Pierce was talking about you and have been hooked. Great to see Cleveland boys doing well.. There comes times when I get on a flat and cant seem to get past it, I really appreciate the move 3 frets down, I grabbed my guitar and went straight for it!!! Funny, I usually dont get inspired that quickly to go get my guitar. Thank you for that.
Hey Uncle Larry, I ran into you yesterday at Joe Glaser’s shop in Nashville. You were so gracious to take a selfie with me. I love your playing. I’m a player down in NOLA. Come down with your band and play. Lots of choice clubs to play in. You know all your peeps would show up. Come on down! Brad
The Cars, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Jazz, Allan Holdsworth, Taxes, O.J. Simpson, Jim Brown, Speed Picking, and an awesome display of the 58 Burst....God damn Larry, I think this is one of your greatest classes Ever! oh and be nice to somebody. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Man! You showed up on my feed a couple weeks ago! Where have I been?!? Authentic, humble but confident, generous, supremely talented..I have now been going back, and I just love how you have not changed. I have learned so much already, and I am just getting started! I am a bit late to the party, and I did not connect the dots until recently, but that first Trigger Hippy album is just awesome. I just love the sound of everybody on that album, what sweet sweet tones. I'm persuaded.. :) So hey... is there a tip jar? Even though you are so generous, it still feels a little like stealing, but I don't see the links any more? Anyway, thank you so much. I hope you keep on keeping on! - Bruce
Smoke From A Distant Fire is one of my favourite ever songs , the Sanford Townsend Band made some cool albums, John Townsend has an incredible voice, brilliant guitar tone on that tune, great live version on UA-cam 😄
Loved the Dburg to Burst comparison. The burst is a mellowed old man anger, the Dbrg is the upstart angry young pup. Both kill in the right hands. “You can… but you can’t.” That’s a shirt right there boss.
Hello UL living Amarillo TX from the UK (17 years) haven't used a pick for years after classical guitar lessons 35 years ago. Vauxhall was a brand of car.
Seduced by the Juice!!!!! WHat OJ put on tape is undeniable, but Gale's highlights still take the cake for me. Jesus might have walked on water, but from '65 - '68, Gale flew atop mud. My dad's sweet old friend Dick Gordon (#45) can be seen catching Gale's only career TD pass. (Dick is the answer to two of the GREAT '60s NFL trivia questions. The other one is, "Who are the three members of the Bears' '65 draft class to get voted 1st team All-Pro?") As far as RB highlight reels, Floyd Little gets my sleeper vote. That man has some LETHAL highlights. Put Barry Sanders on those surfaces, he won't look better than Floyd....Bless you, Larry! Thank you for your amazing teaching!!!
I was playing a country show in Madison Wisconsin a couple years ago and the drummer of the band was arguing with the lead singer, the guy who hired us. The singer didn’t like Black Sabbath and thought they sounded horrible. The drummer would not stop trying to convince him otherwise and by the end of the show, he packed up and went home. We still had 3 days worth of shows left to play
I saw Alan Holdsworth in Jay's Longhorn in Minneapolis in the late 70's with the Tony Williams LIfetime just after "Believe It" came out.He was playing a white 3-pickup PAF SG through a 100W plexi flat-out, in a small room. The sheer volume was only surpassed by the staggering legato technique played on such a completely unforgiving, primative rig. He was the one guy that scared Eddie Van Halen, and I could see why.
classic tune the Cars love the chunk beat and the key board phrases. I dug the video on nashville # charts would love to hear a little more on that topic
You can get to a million viewers if you dumb it down. Tempted?
No
@@501chorusecho thats why we love the show.
@@501chorusecho You do you best.
Who is your favorite old school boxer?
Don’t change nothing Tom. It’s hard for me to find someone on your level that teaches and lay’s it out there like you do. Your straight forward and I like that
Just heard Wayne Shorter passed away today. Love his stuff with Weather Report, Miles Davis, and also his great solo on "Aja". May he R.I.P. 🙏
Uhg - this is the first I heard. Wayne
Your videos are great, thanks man.
Damn good stuff ! Love your show Uncle
Hello from Denmark. Thanks for doing what you do.
I needed to hear you say be patient. Sometimes I feel like beating on my hands and fingers when I cant get it to do what I wanna do. Amazing stuff as always.
Thanks for all this from a Canadian living in Uruguay.
Good Times Roll. Awesome. Brings me back to my Jr. year in high school, thanks.
Thanks for taking about your right hand. I missed the other video you were talking about. Now that I know of it I will check it out.
Everyday at work I can’t wait for break time so I can see if you uploaded a new video for us. Thank you for giving me something to look forward to during the work day! 🎸
Checking-in from Brazil for another uncle Larry´s knowleage sharing.
Favorite part of my day.
Your bends are so good uncle Larry. Not rushed and hit exactly the right spot
I just discovered your channel in the last couple of weeks. I am hooked on your content. Thank you for showing an old Omaha musician what a session player looks like. 👏
Hello from Camden, Lomdon! Orginally from Yorkshire. Loving the videos me ole mucker!
First time commenting…As know nothing intermediate player, I loved the demonstration on “blues over major” and fast picking tip. Thanks a bunch.
Thanks for the great tips Uncle Larry on the speed picking....awsome show...Just love the Cars..Grew up with those guys..:)
From all over the world! Yeah, I´m from Iceland and I love your homeskoolin! Been following you for more than a year. Keep on my dear uncle Larry ;)
Uncle Larry,
Your show got me through a deep depression of lost tour dates in 2020 and this episode ticked all of the boxes of entertainment. Thanks again for keepin it real. Cheers from Atl
best version I've seen/heard. Love it
I love that cars song. Always have. You nailed it. That sounded great. Really captured the feeling of the song. Nice work … and the playing at the end was so good . Love it.
I was just listening to the Cars the other day. Great guitar work and production from that band. Nice job on capturing the feel 👍
Ok I finally get it! :) You have talked about playing minor blues over major chords before and I never quite understood...or "heard" it. But in this example it was very clear to me. Thanks Tom!
hell yea! this rips and put a grin on my face..thank you
Actually, uncle Larry, I hope you get to 99,999 subscribers. That way you won’t retire and you will always be with us! We love you brother!
Yes! Uncle Larry Paying homage to a great band and one helluva' guitarist!
I don't know guitar or music to the point that I can follow what you are teaching or explaining.
However, I listen and try. But for the most part its how you speak to us like we're all family hanging out at Grandma's after dinner time.
Love what you do Tom! Thanks friend!
LOVED the Cars cover! Thank you. I never knew there were harmonics in there.
Its cool to think that 64 years ago in a Kalamazoo when they built that legend of a guitar it was destined to find such a perfect home.
I like the sound of the Gibson more. Another interesting video. Much respect Uncle Larry. Happy Trails...
Love it! Playing both guitar parts of Good Times Roll- then a tease of My Best Friends Girl. Hard to believe these are old songs. I play them so often it gets lost on me how long ago they came out.

Doyle is a beast! Not sure I’ve ever seen picking fingers move so fast.
Thanks for jamming some Cars. I play this one all the time. Uncle Larry, best in the biz.
Thanks for keeping it real Tom. You are awesome
thanks !!!! for the lesson… 🎶🎶🎸🎶🎸😎

Just did my best Rick O “let tge good times rolllll” as soon as I heard the opening riff. You rule Uncle Larry!

I have decided that I’m going watch every Home Scoolin episode from the very beginning. 😎
Great as usual.
Great video Tom. the Duesenberg sounded great.
Yes you're a great story teller.
Great video Uncle!
Almost always my first pick for jukebox playlist - barley pops and The Cars are a winning combo every single time.
Hi Tom, I really enjoyed watching you on Otis Gibbs channel...
Already saving to the favorites for the intro

A song from my youth, at what minute is it mentioned?
never mind, it's 9:43
Let the good time roll!! The Cars !! What an incredible guitar player ...underrated for sure
As soon as you hit the strings on that burst, I said out loud, “God damn that burst sounds good!”
Loved the Dburg to Burst comparison. The burst is a mellowed old man anger, the Dbrg is the upstart angry young pup. Both kill in the right hands. “You can… but you can’t.” That’s a shirt right there boss.
