Homeskoolin’ Bonus “Dobro Jones”

Chapters
00:00 - Folk Bobby McGee
02:30 - Beard Dobro / Wade Bowen record


Notes
I will never forget what my dear old grandmother used to say over and over when I was a very young lad..

“Son, all I ask is that you remember me this one thing…if any human being on this earth ever figures out a way to build a round neck resonator guitar that is actually properly intonated, PLEASE promise me you will buy one”

Thank you Paul Beard
Thank you Gruhn Guitars

I swear 3 different times in the last month I have been in the studio and this exact scenario has happened…

Producer: “man a resonator would be fucking killer on this track, did anybody bring one?”

Collective guitar players:
(Sheepishly) “Uhhh…no”

Well those days are over friends

And….do you guys remember a while back when Duke Levine was in town and we were working on a record together?
Well it’s finally out….and Jedd is on it too.

Homeskoolin’ Bonus Jam “Know It? Hell I Wrote It”

Chapters
00:00 - Plucking and playing with that slide


Notes
Uncle Larry gets nasty in a pair of non prescription readers early on a wednesday morning.

ya know friends, you don’t have to re-tune your whole guitar to get some cool slide shit cookin...

all you gotta do is lower your high E string down to D

just tuning that high string down a whole step conjures enough of the ghosts that haunt the standard "open G" tuning that we have all grown up on to get the point across


you guys sick of this loop yet?

Uncle Larry WILL indeed be playing with Vince Gill during his residency at the Ryman August 1 through 4…that gig is firm, officially "on the books" as they say in the biz....

...but this other thing that I overheard some weird drunk guy blabbing on and on about at the bar last night is definitely NOT confirmed by any stretch…

the guy was saying something about some gig by two Nashville guitar nerds who were all excited about some dumb instrumental record they made...i can't really remember the details because i wasn't really listening...

i do remember though that he kept saying that it’s ESPECIALLY NOT supposed to happen on those two calendar days that fall in between august 15 and 18...but thats about all i remember


and totally unrelated...
hey guys....if you DO like this channel and you ARE stealing all my free ideas, please visit the tip jar.
