i just did a google images search for "beautiful colorado snowy landscape" to put something pretty in the thumbnail for this video.
i don't know who those people are, but those snowy mountains in the background are just beautiful aren't they?
in this video...Uncle Larry plunks on a 58 burst and gets into some naughty VCB...
"can't forget the way her brown hair catches the wind...shoulda stayed in coloraaaaaadoooo".....
ya' know, something like that for the last bit of the soaring chorus...
and....since we have a lot of new viewers coming along recently...
let me tell ya' how shit works around here...
first off, i NEVER ask anyone to subscribe or "smash that like button"....
if you do indeed learn some useful 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...especially since it's tax season ferchrissakes

details about 1962 Stratocaster for sale...
i asked several of my vintage dealer buddies what the current fair market price is.
i got several responses ranging from 34k on the low side to 40k on the high side.
so...in true Uncle Larry fashion...i'll go with the low side.
34K plus actual day shipping costs (which will probably be 500.00) is the price people.
i just weighed it, it's waffling back and forth between 8.0 and 8.2 on my digital postal scale.
nice big chunky neck...beautifully refretted a while ago by Greg Voros.
also includes the original case candy fender book in case pocket that i'm told is worth over 500 all day long.
as you guys know i've owned hundreds of pre-cbs strats... this is by far the best sounding one i ever had, which is why i always kept it.

Chapters00:00 - Acoustic playing into / Surgery announcement
03:25 - Good news - Plexi Soul vinyl album
04:30 - Guthrie Trapp record
Notes
Hello friends...don't be frightened. Your old buddy is fine. I just went in for some surgery yesterday to remove an area of basal cell carcinoma (inflitrative type) thats been there for years actually.
Supposedly the operation was a success...the people at Vanderbilt were soooooo cool and soooo sweet.
I highly recommend plastic surgeon Dr. Galen Perdikis....he's a real bad ass and it's nice to know there is a real live professional around when it's time to get some big holes cut in your head.
The good news is my facial recognition on my phone still works.
Also, the whole time this is going on, I have been thinking how surprised the world would be if it was skin cancer that took me out....and not some liver or kidney issue haha
Special thanks to my dear old friend Nicky G....ain't a better man in this world in my book.
A little advice to you young cats out there...putting the necessary time in to develop some REAL friendships with a few VERY carefully selected people in this lifetime is a lot more important than nailing the solo to "Kid Charlemagne" or getting a pedal with a convincing Dumble tone.
That shit ain't gonna pick you up on a work day at 9am to take you to the hospital when you need it.

Wait just a minute....Uncle Larry has a website now??? Whattttt????
Check it out kids:
http://thesessionman.com
The freshly re-mixed live video from the birthday gig at 3rd and Lindsley on December 20th 2022 is finally ALMOST ready to launch. Should be up in the next day or two. You can purchase a digital download of it from the new website for $14.99 if you like.
It features guest appearances by Guthrie Trapp, Jedd Hughes and Wendy Moten. It also features a few clams and an occasional video glitch that was unfixable in post... but in the big picture these are only minor inconveniences...it's all in the spirit of live performance and it's many imminent dangers.
Most importantly, the original audio tracks from this show were beautifully remixed by the legendary engineer Steve Marcantonio,....Steve made a lot of big records in New York...J Geils, John Lennon etc
Special thanks to young David McLeod for putting the new website together.
Special thanks to Sting for writing the fucking amazing song I played at the beginning of the video...
"Tea In The Sahara"
"My sisters and I
Have one wish before we die
And it may sound strange
As if our minds are deranged
Please don't ask us why
Beneath the sheltering sky
We have this strange obsession
You have the means in your possession
Tea in the Sahara with you
Tea in the Sahara with you
The young man agreed
He would satisfy their need
So they danced for his pleasure
With a joy you could not measure
They would wait for him here
The same place every year
Beneath the sheltering sky
Across the desert he would fly
Tea in the Sahara with you
Tea in the Sahara with you
The sky turned to black
Would he ever come back?
They would climb a high dune
They would pray to the moon
But he'd never return
So the sisters would burn
As their eyes searched the land
With their cups full of sand"
Totally unrelated but still cool, here's that Duke Levine thing i mentioned in today's vid....absolutely transcendental shit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krcp0uEBnsU
and....
Despite Dominic Hudson's best efforts to deter them, a lot of newer viewers have been asking "where is the tip jar?" lately...well, if you feel led to contribute a little something to the Homeskoolin' cause after well over 200 free guitar lessons, you can do that here.
