Homeskoolin’ Bonus, “Vintage Pedal Collection Sale (Part One)”

Chapters
00:00 - SOLD
00:52 - Playing


Notes
(Please note that this pedal literally sold in the first 30 seconds of this video being posted, but i will leave this video up just so you guys can hear the glorious sound of the original chorus pedal that has yet to be topped by anything, in my opinion)

Part one in an ongoing series where Uncle Larry slowly sprinkles the dust of some of his ancient electronics collection amongst the worldwide ocean of potential tone consumers….dispersing the fruits of his nearly 40 years of heavy duty Ebaying amongst the general public

I thought I would start off with one that is special friends…one for the true collector

Homeskoolin’ Bonus, “Celebrity Makeover”

Chapters
00:00 - It's in the description


Notes
At my request of course , Nick Drushel from Glaser Instrument Repair in Nashville TN reluctantly explains how he turned this run of the mill 68 Telecaster into a guitar that a man would actually want to bring home to mom

Trust me when I tell you, this thing played like ABSOLUTE SHIT when I brought it to him…it was so bad i honestly had little hope it would ever turn into anything …but Lord was I wrong

Nick is a bad bad motherfucker friends, between him and Greggy Voros you gotta admit we got some damn good lookin repair guys here in Nashville.

Notes
One of the highlights of my last weekend was on Saturday night…picture my fat ass sitting in my hot tub staring up at the most awesome full moon I have ever seen, with an ice cold Yingy sitting right next to me on a tall chair right beside the tub.

There it was in the wide open sky totally unobstructed by any trees or anything, just surrounded by slow moving clouds …it was like nature was putting on a show just for me

If you feel like Larry is putting on a show just for you, perhaps consider visiting the corporate tip jar:

“Humble Daisy
Form a chain to hold all battleships in check
Humble Daisy
Knit a ladder down to nature's sunken wreck”

My favorite Andy quote….
“I like chords with a bit of dissonance and pungency, they’re not afraid to kick their legs out and let you know they’re alive”

and…i want to say a very special thank you to a guy named Joe Maggelet for being a totally honest upstanding human being

I’ll be back soon friends

In the meantime , just for one second let me bask in the glory of the that I FINALLY made a move that chess.com considered “brilliant” in a 10 minute game against a guy from Egypt

This is a big moment for a low rated player such as myself
