Notes
Uncle Larry rolls up on some Indian food tinged country music and comes up with a crazy new groundbreaking idea for YouTube.

If you like the idea of having your golf swing analyzed by a pro golfer and all of his students, then this episode is for you

(editor's note) i have had several emails from people that somehow got the impression that i am offering free evaluations of people's playing....
just to be clear, i am offering these evaluations for the same 500.00 fee i charge for my in person guitar lessons.
sorry if i was somehow misleading in this video....
