  • How do you make a Nashville session bassist cringe??
    Ask him if he has a 5 string.

    Ordered one of those prints as soon as you showed it, they look amazing. I'm gonna hang it right over my guitar shrine as a reminder that class is always in session. You have been a great source of inspiration and you always make me want to pick up my guitar and play after a homeskoolin session. A million thanks mate and keep it up!

    Hey Tom, the past month I have played two open mics as a guitar accompaniment for my friend. These shows being the first time playing guitar in front of strangers. I remembered you talking about the old southern joke so I tried to take my time going into solo sections and just feel it out. I still think I rushed a bit, but I’m glad to have help from all your videos! I will master the flow of taking it slow someday.

    Hey, Tom. After binge watching your episodes over the past few weeks I am now finally up to date! I would like to thank you for inspiring me to pick the guitar up again after 8 long years away from it all. On a side note, I've never heard you mention Rory Gallagher. I'd love to hear your thoughts on him. His live performances on his Irish '74 tour is some of my favourite stuff of his. Anyway, you're a top geezer & Thanks again. From Dom - an Englishman living over in Saigon, Vietnam

    Tom - you are the *worst* thing to happen to my guitar education. Every time I'm about to sit down and work on my 6ths or open chord voicings, you go and post yet another masterpiece that I just *have* to go try and steal ...err... transcribe. Thanks a lot, man.

  • @abradfordajb
    @abradfordajb Před 3 lety +1

    Two things i would say here: (1) really nice bass lines, very musical. (2) Even in this simple looping example, your bass is perfectly balanced with the rhythm guitar track, which is a reflection of your studio knowledge & experience. Well done. Thanks for shring.

    The open door garage session is a VIBE! I saw the thumbnail and instantly opened my windows and strummed a few chords along with songs just for fun. At some point I realized I was a much better rhythm man than a lead man, so that's where I stay. It's fun, but I can't wait for more open garage classes!

    Hey Uncle Larry, off topic, but "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" hit my playlist yesterday, and of the hundred times I have heard it, I guess it did not resonate with me that the good ship and crew, a bone to be chewed, was headed to Cleveland. Amazing.

I been watching your channel and it is fantastic! Very cool that you are sharing your wealth of knowledge and giving back to so many people. I wanted to send you a message and I just heard that Michael Stanley passed away this morning 72 years old. Anyway you are a great humble man! Keep on keeping on brother.

    Hey Tom! The first time I saw you was during the Tom Petty HB & Joe Walsh tour a few years ago. I didn’t know who you were but I was watching you the whole show - I knew you were a special player. Then I ended up catching one of your guitar picks and it had your name on it. I knew you must be the real deal! Haha
    And here I am watching your videos on YT - such a pleasant surprise.

Since you've brought up Robocop so many times and I as well am a massive Paul Verhoeven fan, I decided with my band to make a fully realized rock opera based on Total Recall in every vivid detail. It just came out and I'd love to send you a copy. With respect and humility,

    Another wonderful Volume Tom/Uncle Larry. 5 string bass story to funny. like when I moved to Franklin, TN and played an E flat 9 chord, person stopped me as said " man that chord is illegal in Nashville" I'm like laughing because coast music uses it. so I thought he was joking. Damn if he wasn't right, that fast I knew country session work wasn't for me. so I did my own thing and never looked back. This is why what you said about the 5 string Bass made me roll on the floor. Enjoyed it and when you do your grooves enjoy improving.
    Keep up the Volumes and Cranking the volume,

    The Muscle Shoals t-shirt! Nice! When I saw that bass, the got all excited and thought it might be another Police cover/loop...then I saw the vintage LP and man it got so awesome. You’re pretty groovin’ bass player Uncle Larry. Really groovin...not pretty groovin...really groovin and kick ass. Episode 100 is right around the corner. Looks like it will be rolling in around the 1 year mark from the start coronation of Corona lessons.

    Hey Tom, you ever have days where the mojo just ain't there, you're just not feelin it? Then other days you're on fire and the music is just a flowin ? I think we all have those days. What do you do, being a studio cat I'm sure you've had those "bad days". What do you do to overcome it? Drink a Rollin Rock?! On another note, I've been working on my bass playing the past few days in order to make cool backing tracks. It's much harder than it seems. Thanks for showing us how it's done!

    My goto bass is a Modulus Quantum5, with EMGs. My baby ❤
    I keep a P and a J bass handy for those times when nothing else will do; or just for a change of feel.
    That 'Pickin' style on bass is something I came to later in life; particularly when I started playing more thin string guitars ...
    It offers some different rhythmic options. Great for mixing it up.
