Notes
Uncle Larry takes you through the last week or so of life as a session man and makes a psychic prediction about the future value of the world’s latest “lawsuit guitar”….

so we have a lot of new viewers recently

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???

Late night Larry and some expensive chords...

so...if you like the sound of this amp email my main man Ebo:

Ebo@ebocustoms.com
and talk to him about it....his soldering iron never goes cold, even in this weather

oh, and call him Eric, that’s his real name, it will freak him out totally…his wife and i are the only people that call him that

you will not regret it…and yes that amazing sounding spring reverb you are hearing is coming from that naughty little amp...this garish old 62 white falcon is plugged straight in

Homeskoolin’ Bonus Jam “Whipping Wind Blues 2024 Style”

Chapters
00:00 - Snowing / Ronco microphone commercial / Playing some raunch



Notes
Uncle Larry takes one of his old compositions down a dark dirty road…with a guitar that has a nazzzzzzty little built in amp ….

Someone recently asked what kind of mic I use to record all this shit…those who REALLY know the inside story of Homeskoolin know that it’s always been a Mr. Microphone by Ronco all along.

Marshall and I are very proud of the football field we built out of Home Depot lumber…he did all the numbers on the field free hand

Dad used his prodigious math skills to get the hash marks measured out perfectly

Homeskoolin’ Bonus Jam “College Boy”

Chapters
00:00 - Squeezing the mojo out of the SG


Notes
An old 68 Uncle Larry, an old 62 SG, a cord, and an old 65 Princeton Reverb he got from his main man Bubba…

Sure Larry has owned about as many old Fender Princetons Reverbs in his life as he has Fender Medium picks…but this little amp is special…the best sounding one,and of course it came from the Bub.

Larry doesn’t get attached to much, but he would be VERY sad if the old original Jensen speaker in this amp ever blew up…in fact he would rather have a beer with that asshole Teddy Boy than to ever go through the pain of that…
