Homeskoolin’ Bonus, “Shut Up & Play Your Beat Up Old Burst”

Chapters
00:00 - '58 Gibson playing


Notes
Uncle Larry drinks an ice cold Yuengling and dreams up some crazy loop in front of God and Everybody...with TWO shots at different live solos...

All free, and all played through one of those cool 80’s Fender Super Champs that Paul Rivera made.

The 3rd and Lindsley show on Dec 20 is officially sold out...thanks to all who bought tickets.

A special fuck off to a talent free poser named "Pmann", who i had to block from the channel for being a total dick...I am ABSOLUTELY sure i am not the first person to block this kid from their channel.

Homeskoolin’ Bonus “John Hancock Blues”

Chapters
00:00 - Hello, friends! / Trip The Witch / Gibson Catalog / Sunn Amp


Notes
Hello friends…. the Trip The Witch signed posters and CD's are back!
https://shop.bandwear.com/collections...

and...before i change my mind, if you’re interested in the coolest Sunn amp of all time, i am asking 3800.00 cash money for the head and 4x10 cabinet....and of course it's straight as hell. email me at tombukovac@gmail.com

Just FYI…the only other Sunn Coliseum PA head available at this moment on reverb is a clone….AND it’s 6k.

Or…i would consider a trade for THE RIGHT 1969-73 Hiwatt 100 watt head…but it has to be straight,....no monkey business...gotta have original trannies and all that shit….no late 70’s/ 80’s stuff....gotta be 69 thru 73 kids...unless you have one of those early script logo ones that are made of pure unobtainium.

As you know, Larry likes the old shit

Homeskoolin’ Bonus “The First Night We Fell In Love”

Chapters
00:00 - Empress ParaEQ Deluxe pedal showcase


Notes
Here’s a long form video strictly for the true tone freak weirdos out there.

Don’t even bother watching this if you are one of those guys that plays through a modeling amp instead of a real tube amp because it’s “good enough” and “no one can tell the difference anyway”

Taking you back to October 11 2022 here….the first time i ever heard the magical new Empress Para EQ pedal.

Picture me sitting in my kitchen late one night with a pretty stout buzz on, trying out a bunch of weird bass pedals with my buddy Renn (who has perfect hearing) tweaking the controls and Ford on the camera, when i said “hey dudes, we should check out this new empress pedal the guy sent me”

As you can see here we were all immediately taken by it’s expensive sound.

Through an iphone mic, you might need headphones to really hear the subtle differences this thing gives you, but trust me, in the room it is hardly subtle.

Thank you for all the kind words about the recent videos.
You guys are awesome

Homeskoolin’ Special Edition, “Joe Vitale”

Chapters
00:00 - Joe Vitale interview, drummer for Joe Walsh for 50 years


Notes
A chat with my dear old friend Joe “Joe Bob” Vitale.

Ever since I met this fella back in the mid 90’s he has brought nothing but joy and good vibes into my life, and I guarantee you I am not the only person who feels this way.

Sure he is a fantastic drummer, piano player, flautist, producer, song writer, and recording engineer, but he is even more of a fantastic person.

Love this dude so much, and I know you will too.

Joe’s long time guitar tech Mark Reis walks us through all the gear….Mark is SUCH a sweet sweet soul…God i love that boy….fellow Clevelander too.

What a blast seeing all these sweethearts again….haven’t played with Joe or hung with any of this crew since the infamous last Tom Petty tour of 2017.

Today was also the first time I have ever played with dearest Nathan East…what a sweet cat.

The guy who made this crazy guitar with the spinning pickups is called Kyle Stanton.

Homeskoolin’ “How Bored You Get On The Road”

Chapters
00:00 - A behind the scenes montage


Notes
i found this in the archives from months ago....

watching it made me simultaneously howl with laughter AND wince in painful agony.

just thinking about all of us grown ass men hopelessly stuck out there on the road…..every one of us completely beat to shit, miserable from all the brutal travel days and questionable hotel rooms....everyone missing their families so badly that they could literally burst out crying at any moment.

this is the kind of ridiculous shit people do when they are just pushed to the edge of insanity…in some God-forsaken place like Laughlin NV.

it's not at all uncommon during these situations to kill the hours by doing something like 15-20 takes of the dumbest comedy skit ever for a Youtube channel that shows free guitar lessons....poor Ebo was having' a hell of a time tossing that paper into the can haahaaa.

So who gets the award for best acting in this one guys?

God i love these guys

Think about this before you decide you definitely wanna be “a road dog” kids.
