    Nashville studio ace and everybody's favorite Uncle Larry ‪@501chorusecho‬ goes through his Swiss-army-knife pedalboard that covers nearly every sound he needs for sessions.
    PG’s John Bohlinger caught up with “Buk” in his natural habitat, Blackbird Studios, where he was just finishing day one of a two-day tracking session for the new Gary Allan album.

    This must be the most comprehensive display of what pedals can do. He wasn’t twisting knobs swapping back and forth. This guy knows his equipment and how to use it. Sometimes when the mega bands come on like kiss or Metallica it’s just their techs talking and it’s more “yeah we have this pedal and I control it in the back”. This guy knows exactly what every switch and number is doing to his tone.

    • @jazzblasterrr

      Working mostly in studios I guess he’d have to know how to get every bit of usability out of his setup.

    • @adamkrauss303
      @adamkrauss303 Před rokem +3

      You took the words right out of my mouth. He had his sounds dialed in and they sound tasty and sweet. And his passion comes thru.

      That’s why he is know as the Session Man aka Uncle Larry. Look up his credits and who he has played with live. Buk is the best in the business.

    You sneaky bastards... reuploading old videos ;) ... but it works with me! This is such a great one! Tom is a beast. the point that he stays in the rythem, and waits several bars, when he engages a pedal (at 15:15 for instance) is testament to his musical mindset. He is not demoing gear, he is creating music all the time. Big fan :)

    Uncle Larry is unquestionably one of the most zen, chill, down-to-earth, totally zoned out monster guitar players out there. And his primary musical genre isn't really even my true cup of tea all the time. But I easily recognize true kool kats when I see them. No mystery at all why Tom is one of the most in-demand studio guys around. Pure tone and gear wisdom right there boys and girls.

    This is a little of what makes a top session man, knowing how to drag unthinkable tones, just to please a producer. ie can I have the Gretch sound? in a milli second set a couple of sliders there ya go. Tom's the total package. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍👍👍🥃Respect to you fellas.

    There are nuances of tone volume, EQ, etc....but with Tom ....there are degrees of nuance as a vocabulary where ...the nuance could be a microcosm of cinematic or enigmatic sound expression given Tom's extreme knowledge of the recorded and live world.....pure genius....pure inspiration....a producers 'dream' session player whose tone arsenal is not limited by infinity, but by desire and search of the unheard nuance that Tom uses on a daily basis.......

    I remember when I first found out that Tom and other pros use M9s..it shocked me. I have had one years..and just used it for convenience. When going somewhere to play with friends, I just just put it in my bag and I have everything I need. But I didn't expect it to be used by pros...both live and in recording situations. I like the fact that you just need a cable and the power cable. It sounds good enough for me..but figured these guys wouldn't even use one of them as a doorstop.

    I'm a total gear nerd players player like him. I've been playing 40 years. People have a hard time accepting players like us. Unless you're in with the in crowd most average people are put off by all the pedals and the talent. It's kind of weird but I wouldn't change a thing. I always get a hard time for all the amps, guitars, and pedals I have. I'll bring 3 guitars and 10 pedals to a show and I always get a couple guys that say something like "what do you need all that gear for" or "I don't need any pedals". I guess people are just insecure and jealous unless you're their buddy or something. You have to let it go and just be you and play because you love playing music.

    • @vhcxhbvg
      @vhcxhbvg Před rokem

      Everyone accepts him, cause his resume and output. You on the other hand come off brash, self proclaimed this and that and not introspective at all. Any guitar player that sees skill is happy to hear it. To be a players player means they like you, you're saying people don't... No one is put off by skill... It might be your hipster, exiled by mistake complex. People hate people that talk like a spoiled rich kid. I mean look at your reply to neutral comments on your channel. You talk like a rich brat. Don't compare yourself to Tom, you're not even a cool person to begin with, you treat others like shit. Check your replies on your channel. How many people you spit on in your lifetime?

    I was going to yank my EQ off a board I was building but was like, "nah, I can do anything with that that might be needed, I can help control myself in the mix to an extent with that and make my guitar into anything or mix a fuzz into searing or maniacally monstrous." The EQ is your Swiss Army pedal. Throw off something else, EQ: don't leave home without it.
