Watching Bryan Sutton play... it brings a tear to one's eye, seeing the dexterity and hearing the clarity of the notes played, the result of the years of work developing artistry of that caliber. Simply amazing.
Aside from the ridiculous amount of talent, feel, and skill, I dug how Bryan got lost in the sound of the guitar... still seems like even at the highest level, there is still magic in there. That is helpful to me... my skills being limited, I need that part of music maybe a little more than some to keep trying. So thankful for these organic sweet conversations. Thanks Tom and guests.
Does anyone put more thought into his playing than Bryan? There is an intellectual and philosophical element to his approach, yet he has harnessed it to enhance the musicality where others sound and style becomes robotic. He’s cracked the code for sure.
Bryan Sutton keeps fixing my playing. I am a year into acoustic flatpicking after years of electric and bass and was struggling with the right hand. I realized that Bryan rests his upper arm on the edge of the guitar top. Here I was resting the lower arm (below the elbow) on the guitar. What a difference an inch or two makes! An "A-Ha! moment and a "Duh..." at the same time. Thanks, homeskoolin'! '!
The right hand of god, that’s for damn sure. Besides uncle Larry, Bryan’s been the biggest influence on my playing since the lockdown madness days. He’s so erudite, with his discussion on what he’s doing, and with those magical hands. A genius of a guitarist, no arguments. Cheers fellas!
Any video with Bryan Sutton in a studio with a guitar in his hands I am going to watch. Effortless picking all the time and has such great tone and touch. Talent helps obviously but to be that good you have to put in the time with practice. We get the benefit of just tuning in to listen, watch, and learn. Thanks for sharing Uncle Larry and keep these great videos coming! Bryan is my favorite acoustic picker for sure!
Love these field trips. The Tony Rice part is fascinating, all that cross picking is so hard! My J50 is my only acoustic and my favorite guitar to play, good score on that Tom.
@@DaveElke Glad you found so as well. There's a documentary type of video Troy Grady has on Carl Miner's cross picking technique and how it is quite unique. I have watched it quite a few times. I recommend it.
Uncle Larry you are surrounded by people who are just as stellar as people as they are stellar as musicians. Mr Sutton is just jaw dropping good. One thing that is so evident in both his and your playing is the fluidity, how being so relaxed produces that fluidity and stellar tones. You have a real keeping in that new J-50, gorgeous sounds.
"What else do you need." well said. I love how you and Bryan and the pros play all the parts on solo guitar. I think many folks don't understand the years and hours of dedication, practice, and mastery to get to that point. I feel really lucky to turn this on and see what I can learn from it. Thanks
Wow!!! Brian is so amazing. The way his right wrist/hand seems to float is mesmerizing!!! Seems like such a great person as well. Your friendship warms the screen!!
Just extraordinary. Loaded with great stuff. Ill stay away from that third in the cowboy G and play the open D fifth. Love it. Thanks so much. And super special ending. (My brother was Tony’s doctor in Reidsville. Funny story, Tony told him to come over to the house sometime and he’d let him hold his Martin guitar. Bill thought that was hilarious.)
Delightful! That’s the only word that came to mind. And the smile on my face is the best kind. The kind that comes from that instinctual joy there’s no way to avoid or fake or deny-not that anyone should ever want to. Tucked somewhere between awe & giddy, delight is as honest & sincere as the fellas in this video seem to be. And that’s sincerely delightful as well,…honestly! haha😉 Thanks to all 3 of you Session Men!
I know that I will never get anywhere near the word good in my guitar journey but I feel by watching you and your friends play that I at least learn something and enjoy walking over to pick up my guitar. Thank you again
Wanna hear a joke? 50 other guys are on the 100 greatest guitarist of all time and both of these guys aren’t even thought of. These two are as good as there ever was. Truth.
Spent the morning checking in with all the dudes from Gruhn's and now get Brian on the J-50. Thanks for giving us access to world I would have never been exposed to.
That Bryan Sutton is sooo smooth. His touch dynamics on the acoustic guitar are just masterful. Speaking of Robbie and Levon, I think I'll watch The Last Waltz this weekend in their honor. Haven't seen it in a few years. Levon is far and away my favorite singing drummer.
You're a lucky man Tom, having such great friends around all the time. I'm from the " make your own luck" camp, so you obviously have a lot to do with it, but havings these folks available to you to be able to foster these friendships is so great. Good for you Unlce Larry.
I jump in my truck in the morning before my drive to work and cross my fingers there's a new vid.... And damn was this one a great one! Thanks for the awesome time 🎸🎸...dang Brian good!
you know there is somethin to be said about the simplicity but very fulfilling content Tom. Keep it going please. Your interplay with others is something many will never know.
It's so great to see what you can do just within the chord shapes. Such great music all under your fingers. Bryan came up with a great name for a new acoustic tune, 'Bottom Feedin'"
I absolutely love this video and the insight we get into what you guys do as session players do and how much sound affects you. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
God that’s some good stuff. The first videos I’m looking for when I wake in the morning or when I get off of work is uncle Larry. Brings me such joy. And I’m not blowin smoke Tom I really mean it. Thanks for everything
Hi Tom! Aspiring guitar player here from Newfoundland. I love vintage gear, love bluegrass and cross picking technique (its new to me in the 5 years or so). But I have watched this vid several times now and the content is great. That Gibson is really something! and Bryan is pulling amazing tone and clarity from it. The vibe is so relaxing and all around just a good group of guys talking notes and gear! Keep'em comin!
Wow, what a combination! Uncle Larry's J-50 in Brian's right AND left hands! Tom, all of your videos bring me joy and especially when they include Brian Sutton!
❤Sutton, Sutton who’s got the Sutton❤️Tom I so love your channel and your evergiving of these musical gifts you give us. the bluegrass circle video has been one of my favorites for a long time
Uncle Larry, I dreamt last night that I had an in person class with you at a school that looked like Hogwarts. So much wisdom on this channel, not even just about guitar or Music but about life. Thanks so much!
Hey Tom. I have a comment unrelated to any specific video or guitar lesson. Just wanted to say how much I admire how much you obviously are dedicated to being a good dad, and how much you light up when you talk about your kids. I don't have any kids of my own but hopefully one day maybe. I was telling someone about you and how you tell us stories about taking your boys to school and sharing old (to them) music with them. I think it's so cool how you all get excited over it. And they way you brag on Marshall's guitar playing....I dunno man. I just really admire it and hearing about your boys and your experience of fatherhood is some of my favorite parts of your channel. The world needs more good dads like you to build more great men. Thank you.
Sounds awesome! I bought an old J-50 from my high school music teacher in 77’ for $150! Still have it and love it. Non ceramic bridge- but a sound investment non the less.
One of the top 5 Uncle Larry / Homeskoolin quotes…
“Cause when I play it, it sounds like a guy from Alice In Chains trying to play acoustic”
Damn - I could listen to Bryan play all day long! What a chill/cool guy!
Watching Bryan Sutton play... it brings a tear to one's eye, seeing the dexterity and hearing the clarity of the notes played, the result of the years of work developing artistry of that caliber. Simply amazing.
And his touch … man oh man
It is INSANE how good Sutton is!
Aside from the ridiculous amount of talent, feel, and skill, I dug how Bryan got lost in the sound of the guitar... still seems like even at the highest level, there is still magic in there. That is helpful to me... my skills being limited, I need that part of music maybe a little more than some to keep trying. So thankful for these organic sweet conversations. Thanks Tom and guests.
Bryan's touch is unbelievable. Beauty in it's purest form. Thanks for having us once again Uncle Larry. You're the best!
Does anyone put more thought into his playing than Bryan? There is an intellectual and philosophical element to his approach, yet he has harnessed it to enhance the musicality where others sound and style becomes robotic. He’s cracked the code for sure.
I can see why Bryan is the #1 guy to call for acoustic guitar work. Looks simple, but that's the magic.
What looks simple ?
@@kylebichler2258 Perhaps a better word would be .. effortless

12:46 Tom's closeup of Byran's insane right hand work... Just unreal... Great video work there, Buk!
Thanks, Mr Sutton, for the good chords, and Hey Tom for watching it live in person.

I can't get enough of Bryan! What a master!!
such a best. saw him last month in Brno with Bela Fleck. what a privilidge.
That Tony Rice section was priceless, especially at the beginning when detailing that unique rhythm style.
I wonder how many times I've watched this.
Man, Bryan Sutton is a national treasure. Thanks for introducing him to me here, Uncle Larry!
Love these field trips. The Tony Rice part is fascinating, all that cross picking is so hard! My J50 is my only acoustic and my favorite guitar to play, good score on that Tom.
Have you heard Carl Miner play?

Thanks guys, nothing like a J 50 morning. My band mate has a 64 J 50 that is a Rolling Stone guitar for sure! Bryan and Buk thanks for sharing! Peace
Always love it when Bryan makes an appearance...
What a guitar player. Love having Bryan on.
Just extraordinary. Loaded with great stuff. Ill stay away from that third in the cowboy G and play the open D fifth. Love it. Thanks so much. And super special ending.

How amazing is Bryan Sutton...I could sit here all day and listen to this. Thanks for the tour time Tom.

Bryan is just SO DAMN good. It's amazing.
Thanks Tom for everything especially the videos with Bryan. Y’all have such a good rapport
Nasty crosspicking! Love the Sutton cameos on Homeskoolin 🤟🏻
Spent the morning checking in with all the dudes from Gruhn's and now get Brian on the J-50. Thanks for giving us access to world I would have never been exposed to.
Love how Bryan kept playing that glorious guitar in the background! Thanks for the share, Unc!!
That right hand is so calm, it’s almost effortless, like a slow rollin’ train gliding on butter rails
It grooves incredible but the precision and the clarity of each note is out of this world !
Bryan Sutton makes me want to become a real guitarist one day when I grow up!
What a sweet, soulful, man! What a beast of a guitar!! Sounds like the beautiful wood it’s built from!

Oh yeah for sure dude. That's fantastic playing
i have now watched this video 10 times. Beautiful playing. Thanks for the invaluable tips and insight. Incredible. Thanks, Tom, Bryan and Jimmie.👍
That Bass chain was an awesome tip. Thanks. Love the Tony Rice licks like going home to paradise.
I jump in my truck in the morning before my drive to work and cross my fingers there's a new vid.... And damn was this one a great one! Thanks for the awesome time 🎸🎸...dang Brian good!
Man, what I'd give to be a fly on the wall in those rooms. Just to sit there and listen to such beautiful music being made would be amazing.
Master class with the man! Gold mine…and the Gibby sounds sooooo good
you know there is somethin to be said about the simplicity but very fulfilling content Tom. Keep it going please. Your interplay with others is something many will never know.
Absolute precision in that right hand. I could watch and listen to that all day. Thing of beauty
Uncle Larry, I just love these shorts from the sessions you do. Heroic. Sutton is beyond inspiring as well as you sir. Rock on.
It's so great to see what you can do just within the chord shapes. Such great music all under your fingers. Bryan came up with a great name for a new acoustic tune, 'Bottom Feedin'"

Bryan is such an incredible player.
Straight MAGIC! Man, what a gift that you let us in on this stuff. That Gibson is a monster.
Right hand. Left hand. Both hands and no hands. Brian Sutter is a beast and a blessing!
Nothing better than being able to listen to Bryan and Tommy "hangar flying".
Bryan is the man! And the j-50 sounds awesome!
God that’s some good stuff. The first videos I’m looking for when I wake in the morning or when I get off of work is uncle Larry. Brings me such joy. And I’m not blowin smoke Tom I really mean it. Thanks for everything
Man, oh man, Bryan Sutton can lay it down! WOWSER!!!!!!
That guitar sound . Pure gold 🙏🎸🥰
What a master! Thanks for this, Buk!
Dang Uncle Larry, gold nuggets everywhere in this. Thank you!

Have to agree with you on Levon. Such a unique soulful voice.
Yes!
Mr. Sutton
We love sweet Mr. Sutton
What a monster. Love hearing him play.
That J-50 is special. If it gets Mr. Sutton's nod of approval, it's a keeper.
That J-50 sounds so full and lush.
Magical, soulful and beautiful playing!
❤Sutton, Sutton who’s got the Sutton❤️Tom I so love your channel and your evergiving of these musical gifts you give us. the bluegrass circle video has been one of my favorites for a long time
All this guys shit makes me emotional. Jesus Christ this guy is great.
I could listen to Bryan Sutton just noodle all day long.
Love these Bryan Sutton moments!
Love these behind the scenes segments you do with all the world class players you hang out with!
Love my 63' J-45. They all seem to sound better than they should. Great tone, and they work for bluegrass!
That guitar sounds spectacular, especially in Bryans hands!
Bryan hittin that church street blues at the end 🔥🔥🔥
Man, Bryan is such a beast. Also a lovely man.
What a stud player and a hell of a nice guy. Great vid!
Amazing, that is exactly how I sound when I play an acoustic...(..in my head that is..)...Thanks BUK!!! THANK YOU Mr. Sutton!!!
You know a guitar is great when you don't want to stop playing.
He’s got some magic hands… The left hand shows what you know, the right hand shows who you are 😎
Uncle Larry, I dreamt last night that I had an in person class with you at a school that looked like Hogwarts. So much wisdom on this channel, not even just about guitar or Music but about life. Thanks so much!

Fine video here & a rather fine player on that J-50…Brian’s got some amazing hands. Nice score on the guitar.
And that folks, is what the strumming hand of a professional looks like! Dammit I could watch that for hours!
Bryan is so damn clean. Astonishing how little left hand noise there is for how much right hand attack.
5:05 Casually turns into Leo Kottke while fielding a question
What song?
Wow. That's about all I can say after listening through this. Wow.
Amazing playing! Beautiful sound on that Gibson! Great video! Thanks Tom!
holy shit dude can play. beautiful
How beautiful was Bryan’s opening
I've listened to that first 50 seconds at least 30 times in the last 3 days
@kevinerickson2316 lol me too. Really classy stuff and not a G run in sight lol which start to grate on me after a while
@@kevinerickson2316 What is that first 50 seconds. Amazing.
This was a great little video Mr Bukovac. Thank you Sir.
The attack on that thing is astounding
Sounds awesome! I bought an old J-50 from my high school music teacher in 77’ for $150! Still have it and love it. Non ceramic bridge- but a sound investment non the less.
