Notes
Uncle Larry rolls out a new twist on some familiar chords, and also reflects a bit on the many "phases” of a typical guitar player's life…
One very important phase I left out was the “fuck pedals, i’m just gonna plug straight into the amp” phase…which is then usually followed by the “I want to build a giant rack to house all my vintage pedals that I can run off a looper” phase…
it never ends my friends...
well, at some point it actually does end i suppose.
anyhoo, if you guys dig these videos please support the cause
there is a tip jar that you could potentially get involved with....the proceeds go towards the imaginary "Uncle Larry foundation" that exists only in my head...it's sole purpose is to pay for the endless supply of groceries that must be purchased to feed these growing boys.

Homeskoolin’ Bonus Jam “A Touch Of Velvet”

00:00 - Exquisite playing
Notes
Uncle Larry explores the deep somber luxurious sustain of an exquisite hand made set neck solidbody guitar recently purchased from the Ricardo Montalban collection…the meticulously crafted velvet lined case smells of rich Corinthian leather with hints of Lilac, aged mahogany and shag carpet…

Homeskoolin’ Bonus Jam “Take Off Your Covers”

00:00 - Rockin' some tunes on the Dean
Notes
My dear boy Marshall and I both absolutely FELL IN LOVE with this fantastic old 1980 Dean Z Standard in the fairly rare and exceedingly beautiful “Braziliaburst” today…..
We just couldn’t stop gawking at the thing, so we decided to adopt it and give it a good home
Now the fight is on between who gets to play it here at the crib.
This one is a classic example of that “no covers tone”, or “covers off tone” that I have always been a fan of…
You know, that unmistakable airy bite that you get from a good humbucker with no pickup covers on it…as popularized by every guitar player with a soldering iron in the 70’s.
This guitar also REALLY gives up that “sweetened thirds” thing that EVH made popular…where the thirds on the G and B string are so perfectly squared off in tune that it makes your hair stand up.
The best part is that this fine old instrument was previously owned by one of our favorite people on this entire planet….Mr Greg Voros.
