Notes
Wow….700 episodes of the Homeskoolin’ progrum my dear friends (and that’s not even counting the other 900 videos that were considered "bonus videos" because they weren't good enough to be an actual "volume")

can you even believe we have come this far?

i will say it’s good to be back on the air after a brief hacking hiatus my dear Homeskoolers

This episode goes out to our friend Hot Carl

…and here's a fun trivia fact for all you TRUE Homeskoolers (i'm referring to the ones that Hot Carl thinks are REALLY creepy)

let it henceforth be noted in the annals of the Homeskoolin' archives that there will always be a void where an episode 699 WOULD have been.

This little detail is made even more interesting by the fact that Uncle Larry was trying to upload a DIFFERENT volume 699 at the precise moment the channel got hacked, but of course that particular video was aborted and never seen, so there were actually TWO failed attempts at a volume 699

Notes
Uncle Larry compares three old acoustics on a shitty sounding iPhone mic on his way out the door to a session

One has new strings so it’s kinda unfair, but hey, what the hell else are we gonna do?

There is also a lovely guitar/weed eater duet at the end of this that I think you guys might enjoy

This might also be a helpful insight into the “tuning for whatever key you are playing in” thing that people rarely discuss…and more importantly a good illustration of “the crease”

Let us know in the comments which one moves you the most
