Chapters
00:00 - Working with a loop


Notes
Hello friends...this video shows our Uncle Larry fresh home from day one of working on the new acoustic record with Guthrie and Jedd....

in case you were wondering, let me assure you that we are having so much fun it should be illegal....hell it MIGHT even be illegal in some states ..

i thought you guys might also get a kick out of seeing a silly live loop get made right in front of your face....replete with mistakes and all...i mean who gives a fuck?

i usually work all this shit out before i roll the camera...but this time i just let it roll so you can see the whole painful creative process i usually go through from start to finish.

there are more clams in this one video than in the last 5 years of Homeskoolin videos, but thats the whole point friends

i figure we know each other good enough at this point to do something ridiculous like this
