Notes
Uncle Larry restrings his dear beloved son Marshall’s lovely old chopper 61 SG/LP and reflects upon decades of wins and losses for the greatest guitar making company in the history of life on this planet.

For your amusement, here's an actual comment i got on this channel a couple days ago from a YouTuber called "620photo" after i posted a free video of me playing my 36 ES-150 with that glorious woody sounding Chuck Christian pickup.

"I used to get excited for these long videos. Where I knew he was gonna play for five or six minutes and talk for 20. Personally, I don't come here to hear him play, even though he is amazing. I come here for his great words of wisdom and great stories. I got excited to see a 25 minute video just to find out it's 15 minutes of playing jazz crap"

welcome to my world friends....i mean, seriously...how do you even respond to something in this "IQ range"?

well... anyway...it is true that 99% of the people that watch this channel are super cool...this fella is clearly a "one percenter"...

so, if you are indeed learning/growing/or just plain being entertained by all the bizarre things that take place on this channel, you might consider placing a little gratuity in the corporate tip jar....all proceeds go directly to Tom Bukovac...(not Uncle Larry)
