- Uncle Larry covers a ton of snowy frozen ground in today’s episode...
the week in recap....plus a few attempts at quelling the insatiable needs of the VCB...
and a little neck squeezin' on 6 pound maple cap transition logo tele.
so we have a lot of new viewers recently ...and dearest Rick Beato told me that the video we made together a while back should be coming out very shortly, so i'm imagining there will probably be a few new arrivals from that world...
here's the real inside shit folks...i NEVER ask anyone to subscribe or "smash that like button"....
if you do indeed learn a lot of stuff from this channel and feel like it is indeed helping you as a player, all i ask is that you just throw a little something in the tip jar...
i'm not gonna lie people, it helps pay for beer, food for me and the boys, bills, and old guitars...that is truly all i use it for....oh, and maybe the occasional football bet...
where is this tip jar you say???

A lot of these very same new viewers don't seem to know that Uncle Larry made a couple records that they could potentially listen to...
one is an instrumental solo record called "Plexi Soul" that is available here:

another is an instrumental collaboration with his dear friend Dean Deleo (originally from the Stone Temple Pilots organization) that is available here:

Larry- when listening to a lot of top shelf players you start to see the same phrases and tricks over and over. But listening to you, there’s almost zero repeat, no playing “the same old licks”. It is THE most impressive thing a guitarist can do.
i only worked on that part for the last 47 years
I saw Jeff Beck in a Q and A session. One guy asked how to avoid playing the same stuff repeatedly and be constantly fresh/original. Jeff answered “if I knew that, do you think I’d tell you?” Pretty funny.
Ive been saying it since episode 1 !!!
Uncle is no normal human being, he‘s a mutant. His genes are changing permanent.
It's a different mindset. I think ole Uncle Larry is really thinking/listening for melody and not regurgitating riffs.
"back when I was alive". I felt that hard. I can really relate.
You never bring me down Tom!
Your versatility and choice of notes slays me. I am never not amazed.
Stunning version of don’t let me down 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼I’m going to have to work that tune out, a beautiful piece of music
Tom I watched the version of Comfortably Numb earlier! You sell yourself way too short on your vocals, sounded ace!
You never let us down, so we won’t let you down. Thank you, sir.
I tell you larry, you are my biggest guitar influence. Watching thr homeskoolin show has taught me so much about guitar chords and shapes i could never do before that i can do now. Thank you dearly for being a huge influence on me man.
Back when I was alive.....DAMN IF THATS NOT A BLUES BALLAD COME TO LIFE...🎸🥹😂
Very sweet take on "Don't Let Me Down" with a little bit of Lukas Nelson's riffs intertwined, as always sounding soooo smooth Tom. Your vocal talents displayed on "Comfortably Numb" in LA were rockin' and Billy F. Gibbons seems to be the consummate gentleman. Welcome home Uncle Larry!
Hi Tom
Everyone expected to sing the praises for the Black Strat in that Comfortably Numb video, but your vocals knocked it out the park ......
So unexpected and so cool. Brilliant!
Gotta love the 'doink' of a great Tele with dead nickel roundwounds as well as the 'doink' of a last minute missed field goal.
Wishing you the best with today's action Uncle L ! With enduring gratitude - John
If we go back even 10 years we didn’t know any of these behind the scenes amazing amazing players. Many of whom also have a personality and are good people. Uncle Larry. Tim pierce et al. Today my favourite players and not stars but actual players on CZcams. Toms playing slays me. So much feel and musicality in everything he does. Thanks mate for sharing everything you know and for being entertaining while you do it.
I love that every guitar you play sounds like you with a slightly different nuance.
All in the fingers
Thanks for sharing everything…..you’re a kind and generous soul Tom.
As someone who collected beer cars in the late 70s, the Bunyon can in the thumb was pure gold.
Stafford has an insane arm. Herbert is up there too. Thanks for another great video, Tom. This stuff does not get old at all. Love it. The B.F.Gibbons stories will never ever get old, either. More is better.
It's 23:30 Monday and my Bills sent the Steelers packing!! First thing I watched on here tonight was Uncle Larry singing the opening "Numb" part, and he killed it! One of the top versions I've ever heard, and I've heard a lot of them!! Great job Tommy!!! I didn't know Irsay bought the original "Black Strat"!? I looked at a Fender CS, then I built my own, starting with an early 90's Clapton Blackie, that the guy said got dragged across Texas behind a pickup. 8) It came out great!! Have a good night, --gary
The world needs a video of your Comfortably Numb performance...seriously
Wishing Mr Irsay a speedy recovery.. and wanted to say thanks for giving us a close up look at The Fool sg.. 👍
You always set my brain on fire in the best way when I listen to your playing.
First time hearning you really sing live on that pink floyd song, Uncle Larry. Damn...that was ace!
We were at the gig on Thursday and your voice on Comfortably Numb was awesome.. glad it didn't get nixed. The whole show was one of the best concerts we've been to. Thank you!
I hope Jim Irsay gets well, I know he is going through some stuff right now. Jim is a good man, I wish him the best.
Great job on the vocal well done it sounded like you had done it a thousand times.
“Back when I was alive…..”. Holy $h/t, that cracked me up, and hit a little too close to home. 😂
“Back when I was alive” lolol….famous line from City Slickers!!! Love it Uncle Larry!!!
Hello Tom .. just watched a snippet of the LA show with you singing .. look at you, man! That was great. Loved it.
Larry, I love these transition era Teles. I have a ‘67, that’s a RW board, but it’s also super light and just has this hollow plunky sound. Thinner sounding than the older ones, but in a really cool way.
Hey Tom, your tone is fantastic. Even make that epic Phone sound as good as your Gold Top!
There are videos of yours I watch, stunned, waiting for the next burst of creativity, mastery, unconscious brilliance and I look over at whatever guitar I have within 5 feet of me at the moment (if I’m at home, there’s always one there) and shake my head… I don’t want to say ‘discouraged’ or ‘defeated’… perhaps processing is the right word. After a bit, when I’ve reconciled what I’ve heard against my life long pursuit and slow progress, I grab it and try figure it out. Following this process since starting to watch your channel has been amazing and humbling, but I have learned more, made more real progress, than I have in years… So thanks Larry. Thanks for entertaining, inspiring and making me a better, more attentive player.
So happy you are singing! I love your voice! You sound fantastic in the videos! I’m glad Nashville got some snow for the boys to enjoy! Thank you Tom! ❤️
Always uplifting Tom buddy! … never down….
Good to hear you & the boys had fun!
Sorry to hear Stills didn't make it, was so looking forward to your duet.
That black label can, 1st beer my father offered me oh so long ago. Great playing as usual.
Another great day to be had, with a video posted by our favourite guitar lad.
I love those pure blues strings on my teles.
The playing at the beginning was incredible. Love it 👏
Thanks for that Comfortably Numb vocal Tom. Was wonderful.
Awesome stuff- thank you Uncle Larry 🎵🤙🎸
Great intro! You killed last week in LA. Your solo on ‘Love Reign over Me’ was spectacular! Absolutely held your own in the vocal dept. as well. Thanks to you and all the other guys for a really special show.
Agree. I loved the show as well.
Great tune, played with taste Uncle!!
Back home again. Thanks for the vibes.
Thanks for the GREAT show! Not a bad seat in the house (even the nosebleeds)
That's a new one for me. The doink..
Tried the DR Blues on my tele today. Killer sound. Rounds off the top end and gives the guitar more bark. Great tip TB!
I just discovered those DR pure blues last week after almost 30 years of just playing D’Addario 10’s and so far love them. Got the 9-46 set which is 9-11-13-16-26-46 so the same beef on the low strings I’m used to but nice slinky up top.
"That ain't how Hank did it!" haha, classic, thanks Uncle Larry!
Hey Tom just watched the comfortably numb video , you and the band sounded great!!
Just saw the Comfortably Numb footage from this past weekend… You did a great job on the Roger part! Mike and KWS weren’t too shabby either. 😁
“I looked at a beer can encyclopedia a lot as kid “ is not your average sentence.
That picture of Jim Brown is so sick, I’m definitely crushed as a Cleveland fan though game was a tough watch. Hope all is well!!
It's been an abysmal -30° F in Winnipeg for the past five days. The look on my dog's face when he's let out to relieve himself... Poor guy. I find it remarkable that people were able to not only adapt to this climate and procreate and see a newborn baby live through such inhospitable weather, but people did it even farther north in an even colder climate.
If the grid were to crash, you folks would just keep right on truckin!
Rolling today Uncle…almost spit coffee a couple times! Enjoy your snow day….I am!!
Man I love this. Such a great song.
There is no better content on CZcams. Period.
Gotta love the Beatles rooftop concert.
Thanks Man! I really learn and enjoy. these. "Kitchen Concerts" where the creator of the video understands the audience does not want lighting multiple camera shots or pretty people wearing pretty costumes... Uncle Larry knows his pupils want talent presented in a real way, and free! love the USA and guitars and Uncle Larry!
Hey Tom, the TPS guys just said they’re gonna do something with you in 2024. We’re all looking forward to that!!! Stay warm!
Hope he catches up with TPS..Tom you always pick me up..
Hey Tom, I just heard you sing in place of Jim. Brother, you did great, very impressive. I have no need to blow smoke up your ash, just tellin it like I hear it my friend. Great job outta you. Sending good thoughts out to Mr. Irsay. Get well soon, sir.
You look totally devastated! 😂
By the way, I just listened to you performing Comfortably Numb and it sounds great: as good as any other professional live. I really like your vocal tone and delivery. KWS killed it as well.
Sincerely,
Brownoser Cheek!
Saw a clip of you singing at the Irsay gig…nice!
My Daughter lives in St. Louis only a few miles from Killer Vintage and I had her pick me up that Tunerette. Glad to hear you say it's a pretty good tuner. I know Stafford is a great quarterback. Watched him for 12 years. I am a Lions fan. I live in Kalamazoo. Bet some of your guitars were made here. Any ways I am glad the Lions won. My son and I were at the first playoff game in 92 at the Silverdome. He was 12 years old at that game. Now he is in his 43. Too long to wait to see your team win a playoff game. Stay safe and keep warm. Otis turned me onto you. I watch everything you and he post. I have to wait until I go to St. Louis to get me some Yuengling.
White knuckle flight out of your beautiful city last night at midnight in a driving snow storm. Damn it's nice to be back out in the desert.
I’m watching this in Kaiserslautern, so the opening act was a commercial where a lady screamed in German while a 3D tooth spun in circles.
It’s also snowing here, took my girls sledding. It was glorious.
I was watching some 'vintage' qb videos recently and holy shit Warren Moon blew my mind. I also was baffled to see qb's navigating the pocket and scrambling just as well as they do today. They make it seem like Mahomes and Lamar etc were the first to do it..
Nice shirt. Looks like a Gildan? The cardinal red bird on it is very nice. You need to make that your next acquisition. Keep it going Uncle Larry! As always, we all enjoy the posts and words of wisdom and insight into music and life.
I was at the show, great to see and hear you playing live 👍🎶
Great show!
I’m sure everyone knows this but I just wanted to say it. Your exceptional ability is not down to all the unbelievable and creative stuff you play. It is that every time you play those amazing ideas you rarely ever make a mistake. You are a master Uncle Larry. Hope I can make it to Nashville one day to meet you 🤟🏻
thank you my dear boy....i do like to get waaaaaaay up on the high wire with no net...makes me feel alive
@@501chorusecho I pray one day to be half as good
@@joemorris4424 you don't have to pray...you just have to work your ass off....like i did
Very good I think that's what Jesus would say also
Lennon was my favorite Beatle,his lyrics were deep and he had that hard edge, that McCartney didn't have,together they wrote the magic I grew up on, glad your a fan uncle Larry.
Tom has chops GALORE, but he always plays with so much restraint, taste, and utter musicality....
Beautiful playing, and that Tele sounds great !
Liked your singing on Comfortably Numb
Your singing on Comfortably Numb did not suck! I saw a video of it, before I watched this, so I didn't know it was going to be you singing - I was delighted! Great at stuff, Tom. 😎
Don't you just love how the world quits spinning on a snowy day in middle Tn. Pretty chill.
Love it. Dont know how, but these videos always seem way shorter than the timestamp. And Dont Let Me Down, so great
-3 in Denver right now. I left work. Cold Agglutination Disease would not allow me to work in that cold. . . Rock onward, Uncle Larry. . .
Uncle Larry! How can you say Comfortably Numb sucked!? It was AWESOME! Your voice was PITCH PERFECT! Dude… take it back… Seriously, you were great. My friend and I both thought Comfortably Numb was a highlight of the entire show. 👏🏼
You're the most real dude out there Tommy.. Haha, I love it.
I like the Mike Nesmith thing you got on tonight. He's an underrated cat. But the tuner doesn't work for me unless it leaves a burn mark on the headstock.
Love this channel, holding out on the HomeSkoolin merch in hops a pullover hoodie, not a T-shirt guy, and prefer non zipper hoodies…. Waiting for next merch, just like the Browns 🥹🤣
Nice looking, sounding Tele
You did a fine job singing Comfortably Numb!
I've got an old can of Burkhardt's beer from Akron, Ohio. Great playing by the way!
Beatle's Blues...Freakin' awesome, Tom...
Great stuff Uncle Larry. Cheers to a Great New Year...
I live in Nashville now, but I met Matthew Stafford once when I worked at a luxury hotel in Detroit.. very nice cat.
Great feel as always!
Stafford was throwing those sidearm bullseyes last night. Fun to watch
I love your distain for Stills. Makes me so happy. Is there an origin story for this deep hatred?
Tom you use the most unconventional fingerings, i dig it. I can usually spot what some one is playing by the shapes they use, not you, I’m constantly rewinding trying to see what the hell you are playing 😂
Just unbelievable
A little snow, a little scary! LOL…
D string bends!! Now I gotta go mess with that!!
My Favorite, Tom and his Tele!!!
Love the Stills crack!
Cool as a cucumber. Thats a compliment by the way . Loved the Dont let me down parts as well as the rest of course. When the house empties out and there is only cold silence the guitar is a good friend and helps fill the void. On the sexy guitars. Les Paul sunburst got to be there. I also love the look of the Yamaha SG5000 in black which really is a Yamaha Les Paul., and a couple of those Dusenbergs look horny. 😁
Hilarious Tom, how you talk up the built in tuner on the Epiphone and then proceed to use an off camera tuner to tune up. Not sure if that was intentional but I think you're hilarious. Just like the rig rundown episode where you talk up the modded eq pedal where they take out all the hiss but then casually mention the one you have isn't even modded. Keep on rockin in the free world Tommy B!!! 🤗😘😉
Finallly! Browns Blues...
I remember having the can collection back in the 70’s and if I remember, the Soul beercan was the one to want. I think I had a Paul Bunyan
