Unrelated, if any of you guys are looking for a bangin 56 les paul tv special I have one here for sale. A friend brought it over…he wants 15k plus domestic US shipping for it
It’s a damn nice guitar
Cons:
Old Grovers clearly put on a million years ago, original keys not included
Refretted with slightly larger than original sized frets
Comes in a 70s Gibson les paul case
Pros:
Nice comfortable weight
Beautiful fairly worn original TV finish with no overspray and no repairs whatsoever
Big chunky kick ass neck
It’s already got a music city bridge on it
all original parts otherwise
This guitar plays great, sounds great, looks great

I always have to make sure a Gildan isnt on backwards. Its like the arms are sewn on at the wrong angle or something.
Dude…TOTALLY
Gildan are the absolute worst. Shame on printers for using that bs
Gildan of coffee. Goes in the Bukisms list.
Yes! That’s a great one haha!
HA! Gildan of Coffee... if that's not a true statement, I don't know what is.
Bukisms. Perfect. Like Bensonisms, but, way better
@@h.sinclair I can't lay claim to that term. I believe recently there was a large list of Bukisms posted. At least I think that's what they were called. My all time fave being "... and then I'll be happy."
@@kylegrieser6194 "and then I'll be happy" yes exactly wow funny happy true - BUT - that (from TOM) usually has to do with a bridge or a P-90 or a (guitar) nut... OMG the gildan of coffee Folgers... UN DRINKABLE hugs kyle
Congratulations Uncle Larry. Just finished my first spin of In Stereo on the bus ride home from work. I got lost in my headphones and almost missed my stop. As I was listening to it I was thinking how cool it would be if Uncle Larry did a Home Skoolin’ video with a breakdown of who played what and who wrote what. As I sat down to eat my dinner and turned on CZcams, what is waiting for me in my queue but Home Skoolin’ Volume 306. Awesome album and awesome video Mr. Bukovac. Thanks again for shepherding us Home Skoolers through the dark days of the pandemic and for keeping this Home Skoolin’ thing going. Long live Uncle Larry.
thank you bro i appreciate that
Tom I had a dream that I would randomly bump into you just before I flew to Nashville to record one of my songs last fall. I did not. But I ran smack dab into Guthrie on a Sunday morning at Fanny's! We had a little jam in the acoustic parlor and Guthrie bought me lunch down at Happy Cow, swapping phone pics and life stories and guitar cheer! The generosity of spirit was beyond positive, it felt like an affirmation I belong in the universe. And now you are releasing an album together! The brotherhood you both cultivate, and now joining forces, is so vital, it's fuel that keeps us fighting to be better musicians and people. Much brotherly love to you both! My signed vinyl is on the way!
i gigged half my life and have played for over 40 years now. played with a few people everyone would know. You never know how things are gonna go down but sitting down with Guthrie and a pair of boxes may be one of the few things that still cause me some nerves. lol.
I’ve been waiting for this! The record is absolutely amazing! I’ve had it on repeat since it’s came out.
thank you sir, i really appreciate it
@@501chorusecho of course brother! Thank you for creating and sharing your music with us man. Thanks to GT as well.
"I JUST GOT PAID TODAY, GOT A POCKET FULL OF CHANGE"
Now I can finally buy an album
The break in The Black Cloud has drum sounds that are so great they made me laugh and cry while I was driving down the 210 listening to the completely underwhelming stereo in my chevy. I was seriously thinking about how special and fleeting it was to hear it for the first time. Kudos to the tracking engineers too. Those fish don't just jump in the boat.
The phrasing at 2 minutes 35 seconds in On the Spectrum is absolutely amazing! Blown away.
This deserves a GRAMMY consideration !!
Listen to this album the entire time I was camping this summer in the truck...dude awesome music for the mountains just four wheeling. I really enjoyed all the guitar parts. Guthrie is killer. But Larry you killed as well writing these tune. Worth every dollar dudes!
How cool is it to listen to a great record with one of the creators of said record. Thank you for doing that. I can’t wait even more for my order to arrive now. That last solo you played was amazing. All the others were absolutely amazing too, but the last one was incredible imho. 👏
I bought the album becuase you are both incredible players and I wanted to hear what you would do. OK - where I am in my life, and the fact that I am a guitar player. It's just what I need. I'm listening now. Almost all the way through this, but had to comment because it's so wonderful. It's beautiful but never boring, it's a guitar players album but not a guitar jerk off. It's so soulful and mourning and hopeful. It's the album Ive been longing for for the last 10 years that no one else is making. Thank you.
Ordered In Stereo about a week ago....just waiting! Downloaded your Plexi Soul album a couple days ago. Wow, so good. The sonic quality, dang.....would love to see video on any of that if you have it. The tracks on it sound like 2 songs in one, like you have these two ideas and you melded them together, in the best kind of way. Cardboard Cutouts have hints of John Mayer on part 2 of the song. I was on my walk listening to it and I head one song come on and I thought that sounds like a tv show them song, then I look at the title and its "cop show music" ha! Well done!
Man, you guys really made a “tough guy” record! Remarkable musicianship, production, composition, variety, and most of all, soul. The whole disc sounds fantastic on my little NHT’s.
I now listen to it each time I drive my car. That album only, nothing else. Sublime.
It's so refreshing to hear an album made by bad ass musicians and no singer to F it all up. Normally people want to hear a singer and the band is just there. I enjoy listening to musicians and the music, like Hermanos Gutierrez, and this new album as well. Thx Uncle Larry. Congrats to you and GT.
The album is incredible. I've listened to the cd 3 times so far and am now going to order the vinyl. You guys created magic and we are all grateful for it. Now to learn to play them.
thank you so much bro
Its a unique experience as a listener to watch a song get made in the studio on a livestream, and then you hold it in your hand, hear it on an album in its fully realized state. Thank you for putting out a great album, and in a small way making us all a part of it.
thank you bro i appreciate that
Got my CD in the mail yesterday! Worth the wait! Great tunes blasting out of my humble Montreal apartment! 🤘😎
Tom, you and Guthrie hit it out of the park man! I've played it through twice so far. That opening track sets the stage well for the rest of he album. I've got the CD and the download so far-the vinyl is in the mail still. Thanks to you and Guthrie for signing these, it makes it sound better! Haha.
Haha thanks bro i appreciate it
Thanks for this Tommy!! Knowing this stuff is out there makes me feel happy.
Cafe Bustelo❤ one shot old School percolator❗🔥 make sure you have no heart conditions before drinking Cafe Bustelo coffee🖤
Huge play Sir bringing in Dan D ! ……that track is some heavy ass deeply emotive stuff. Wow!
Beautifully recorded & executed!
Thank you for cleansing my palette!
❤the record. That’s right you’re right we haven’t received it but some of us also got the download it’s fabulous.
Yes....the whole picture when it comes to an album....tasty stuff, Tom...
Can't stop listening to this album here in the UK. Truly great. Thanks Larry and GT 🤘
thank you sir, so glad you dig it
I’ve listened to this record all the way through 6 times! It’s amazing! Music perfection! Obviously the guitar playing is incredible but the bass player is killing it! The rich electric piano, the snappy cross stick rimshots sound sooo fricking good! The production is top notch! No pressure but when is the live show? 🤣
dude thats very sweet...thank you
Mine finally arrived, fantastic!!!! Well worth the wait. Thanks Tom, Guthrie and all involved.
I got the album from bandcamp as I’m in the uk (I’m way too impatient to wait for a cd in the post 😂) I’m loving it so far. I have to say I bought it because I respect uncle Larry and GT and what they do 🙏
My signed copy is out for delivery! Super excited to give this release a listen or 10 today!
Transition Logo Blues - I was cutting the grass on my country lot during a beautiful spring day in Michigan. Just as Transition Logo Blues came through headphones, an Old White Cadillac Convertible drove by on the dirt road in front of the house. This is the sound of Transition Logo blues.
love it bro
I loved the way you lost yourself in the music you created. Feeling the emotion you invoke in everyone who hears your song. Such a great album. Love it!
Thanks for the heads up, I will com back to this video after a full listen through first
You guys did an excellent job on this album its great start to finish. I been listening to it non stop since i got it in the mail on Monday. Good job to everyone that had a part in putting it together.
Just purchased your new album. Nice job to the both of you and your band mates and studio engineers.
Thank you for providing an in person liner note session here I got my copy on the digital realm so this is fantastic for some information about the process. I appreciate you being vulnerable and showing us that even on the highest levels of being a musician there is doubt and dislike for the player and what is being played . I think all of us have that "I hate what I played" feeling. It's so awesome to see you proud of yourself too! I'll follow that by saying your playing and tones on this album are phenomenal I've listened about 15 times since the 1st!!!! You guys should do a couple gigs..... or 50
thanks bro...really glad you like it...tell your friends my man
So excited for this amazing collaboration. Can’t wait for my vinyl to get here! Thanks for the cool walk through, Uncle Larry!
Holy Truck men... excellent sonics, writing, execution and just a super cool record. I shall avail myself of such a disc. Inspired to get my record done as well.
Tom, you are obviously proud of the work you and GT did on this album and rightfully so.
What a great project!
Your and GT's playing and timing / phrasing are so different. Would think you would clash but amazing how you really compliment each other on this.
Would love to see a live performance of this project. I for sure would make the trip to Nashville for this and sure many others would.
Congratulations to everyone responsible for this project!
Tommy Whoa, CD sounds so much cooler than I was even expecting. Thank you son
Thank you for the context and for the album. i have it on repeat since release and sequencing is perfect. Love the harmonies. Recommend the album to everybody!
From the second listen I knew exactly where Uncle Larry worked. Excellent recording quality with good dynamic range for this type of music. Just a wonderful, diverse record! Bravo and... Encore)))
thank you sir
Dropping some priceless advice here that hits just the right way. THANKS. GOOD Stuff.
Got my signed CD yesterday. Got it loaded onto my Mac and put the CD up on the shelf beside the Plexi Soul. I have had it playing nonstop all day. It is raining here and the music goes right along with my lazy day. My coffee today is Maple Bourbon from my son in Georgia. It is definitely different but very good. Thanks for the channel. I look forward to it.
thank you bro, glad you dig it
Awesome effort by all! Excellent quality recording and production. You and Guthrie really fit well together. 5 star record in a world of two stars. Your tour of the tracks is almost better than liner notes. Thank you!
Hey Tom - thank you for the preview! I went ahead and ordered the signed vinyl my man.
I hope there is another album with you and GT together…it’s wonderfully obvious you’re guitar brothers.
Here is to you - GT and your boys. (raising my cup of Keurig Dunkin’ donuts medium roast - light with 2 sugars)
Larry, the album is outstanding. It’s what your ear wants to hear. Nod the boys mixing, producing, and pushing the project out the door. Any bonus tracks? Call it the “Dolby 5.1” edition. Always appreciated!
Those signed CDs were gone before I could even blink. I had to "settle" for an unsigned one. Can't wait.
I'm glad I stayed up til way past my bedtime to get my order in.
It’s so good . I promise
Well at least you got one of THOSE! It seems they are all sold out... how many of these did they have made?!
@@JerboFotius I think they signed 200. I knew they’d go quick, that’s why I went above and beyond to get one LOL
@@getwhatyougive I didnt see a link for specifically a signed one. Wanted to get one, but didn't think I wouldn't be able to get an UNSIGNED one! I'm not the only one... how limited was the run of CDs?!
Track two sounds like a great road movie.
Love your playing, man!
I love the Black Cloud!
Grabbed a digital download for immediate gratification as I await the CD. Love it. So glad you two did this.
What a tease!!! Patiently waiting on my CD. When it arrives…. Then I’ll be happy!!
Sold Out?!? No vinyl, No CD- I guess I'll have to settle for a digital download. FANTASTIC WORK and MUSICIANSHIP. I know just from hearing it completely improper here on CZcams. Keep up the great work "Uncle Larry"... and all other musicians involved.

Tom, I received my autographed copy of In Stereo and I fucking love it! Once The Window opens up, the whole recording is straight 🔥. You guys are unbelievably brilliant. Wow! Unbelievable tone and the chops you both have, STELLAR!! Rock on, Uncle Larry.
I remember the night you recorded that at Wookiee’s house! That was an incredible session.
This sounds amazing so far. Looking forward to hearing it all front to back!
Guys this album/cd is filled with awesome arrangements and fantastic tones. Will you talk a little about gear. Thanks for creating such great music.
Yuengling is technically a craft beer. They fall within the craft brewers association guidelines such as wide product variety (no single beer is more than 50% of what they make) and although the recipe for the regular Yuengling lager contains corn, it is an original recipe from prior to prohibition so it's considered historic. Next largest after them is Boston Beer Co (Sam Addams - Dogfish Head). If I'm wrong about any of this my knowledge is from 6 years ago about what is considered craft, I left brewing around then.
Tom, thanks for all the instruction and entertainment. I’ve loved lots of your videos, but this one, for too many reasons to list, is my favorite!
Broke out my vintage 1985 Sony D5 CD player for that classic digital sound…until the vinyls show up. Thanks for giving us something badass to listen to.
Drums sound awesome.
I got the record and love it - grateful for any and all walk-throughs!
Love love, love Dan Dugmore's bit. Took me right back to Relayer...especially Steve Howe's stuff from 5:00 out.
In the end I felt the same emotion... I felt tears too... That track has an special feeling. Thanks
About to take In Stereo on a big road trip around the Southwest.....New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado. I've been loving it so far and can't wait to enjoy those prog vibes in some desert landscapes.
Thank you Uncle Larry! 💖 3-4 times a week I put on the headphones, get on my bicycle and ride, 10 miles around the block. Plexi Soul has been my riding music for months now. Put on 'In Stereo' first now. Killer riding music!!
Thank you that’s awesome
Came for the guitar, stayed for the drums 🥁. But for real, best guitar and drum tones I think I've ever heard
Bought the download and listened all the way through in my Focal headphones with eyes closed. An epic journey in sound
hell yeah man...its fun to listen to aint it?
Totally agree..First of all.. Yuengling, the oldest brewery in the country, makes great Beer. And Folgers has always sucked pond water. So right there are two good reasons to watch Uncle Larry.
Tom and GT, the album came in late yesterday, and i can't stop spinning this. So much to say, but i will spare you. Suffice it to say, this entire album just goes straight to my heart....makes me want to laugh, cry, dance, sway, close my eyes and stand still and so many other wonders. This is what music is supposed to do. Thank you for bringing this music to the world.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!! I am crazy about your guitar solos !!!!
thank you love
I bought the Double signed LP. Can't wait to get it in!
Tom that guitar solo of your's is like a gospel singer at their emotional best. Just beautiful melodies on that song.
Great record Larry ! You and Guthrie, and the rest of the folks involved should be proud. I grabbed a digital copy, and was only going to check out a few tracks at first. Ended up listening to the whole thing, playing lap steel along with it. You guys are awesome!
This album stands as a true masterpiece! Can we all take a moment to appreciate, across-the-board, the exceptional talent, professionalism, and camaraderie of those involved with In Stereo, not to mention sharing even a portion of the joy they all clearly had while making this magic!?!
To Buk, GT, and everyone who contributed with this project, THANK YOU! It will move so many individuals in ways more than you may ever know.
PS - Larry: Treat yourself to some quality coffee; you’ve earned it!
That snare sounds so good, you could eat off it…maybe not an exact quote but I get it. Another Bukism? Put my 5 driver ear buds in to hear the excerpts you were playing…But even through an iPhone I could tell you mix was on par with the performances. Beautiful things!
Thanks for the insights. It always enhances the appreciation.
The Greg Voros coffee is excellent. It has become my go to. Thanks for the heads up Unc.
I've never been a coffee drinker, for me, it's hot Lipton sweet southern tea, it gets things moving.....anything you do will always be epic, you have incredible touch that you can't buy or teach, you were born for this and you deserve all the success that comes your way.....Much respect Brother
thank you dude. that means a lot
The first part of throwing up is folders in your cup!
And I am a coffee snob.
lmfao, love it , clever line
We are spoiled by good beans. ☕️
Good one. I’m a whole bean snob myself, one of my few vices. But I can tolerate crappy coffee in a pinch. Not that Folgers shit though it’s a whole different level of crap.
Just received my signed CD today. You 2 have an emotional vibe that makes this record breathe fresh air. Loving it. “ The Black Cloud “ might be my favorite at this moment in time.
This new episode interrupted me watching Volume 89 (Light Up The Eagle) while working on projects at work... how rude Uncle Larry!!! The Buko-Trapp Record is a rich in musical nutrients offering.
THANKS BUK!!!
Still anxiously waiting for the mailman to deliver my CD, but I watched this anyway! I'm a rulebreaker.
On the Spectrum has a really cool Police vibe at times. Love the drum track as well!
Picked up my copy tonight on Bandcamp. Loving it you guys! BTW the only good coffee is from a good roaster, hand ground and done with a pour over.
The keys on the window are extremely tasteful it’s a standout track it’s stunning to me how such small parts can amplify the track with feeling tones that grow and bend and tense and resolve…..it’s close enough to magic for me 🙏
Loving the record Tom! Listened to it three times already. It is addicting.
Thank you dude
Downloaded my copy from bandcamp and listented to it twice on my flight. I really enjoyed it and got a lot of great thinking done. Highly recommended, although if you are reading this on this channel you already know.
So hard not to watch today's offerings, but I want the journey. God Bless ya Uncle Larry-
Lovin' my signed cd Tom! Great songs, tones, and playing by everyone involved! Now we just need y'all to book a gig at the 3rd & Lindsley and play it live!! Pretty PLEASE!!!!!!!😉
Wow Tom, sounds terrific. Super inspiring 🤘🏼
Cascade Park - love it - I thought of Tull, Zepplin and then just reminisced the good old days when you would listen to an album in its entirety - Thanks for the ride
Just ordered my copy. Can’t wait to hear it in its entirety!
Hi Uncle Larry, Will hold off watching this for now, my album arrives today!, I know this will be a blast to take this in after i give it a spin. Thanks for the fair warning.
Hi, Tom. The coffee tastes like their earworm jingle sounds. Brutal.
Hey Tom, just wanted to say the Plexi Soul and In Stereo albums are both really special.
I'm normally not a fan of instrumental albums, but these are far better than most. There are some great guitarists out there with instrumental albums, but they don't hold a candle to these. I'm a trucker and I can listen to these for hours as I'm driving. Love the mix of your style with Guthrie's. He's amazing also. You compliment each other well.
There's only one other instrumental album that's on par with these, imo, and that's "Music from the movie Cal" by Mark Knopfler. It's 38+ years old and I've never tired of it. You're in great company bro! Thanks for the music!
thank you bro i appreciate it
For me those drum sounds are the best of this album. Big and rich. You rock guys!
You and GT are such pros. Thank you for sharing your creations. Ordering a CD today!
You're beautiful Uncle Larry. It all comes from inside of you. You find the beauty in the pain and its magic.
thanks bro...so much beauty in the pain...god
