Notes
Uncle Larry takes a ride on a slightly out of tune chopped 54 esquire and reflects on some childhood guitar store memories.....and childhood memories of watching Letterman.

Even the thumbnail pic shows Larry in a very "reflective type" mood.

In truth, sometimes (like tonight for example) i don't even bother to tune the guitar before i do these vids....because i usually spend all day at my "day job" caring WAY too much about tuning...so when i get home at night, and it's just me all alone with my deep Cleveland thoughts it can be very stimulating for me to be a bit out of tune.
It's very freeing, sonically speaking, it's kinda like the emotional equivalent of walking around the house in your underwear.

I hope you guys don't mind.

There is one guy that watches the show that can't help but make a comment every time he hears five seconds of something out of tune on my totally unedited free form stream of conscious videos.  I think he's one of those unfortunate dudes who has to tune/edit/pocket shitty vocals on pro tools all day for bad local bands.

He probably also has a hard time enjoying led zeppelin and beatles records.

I've noticed that some people seem to feel really special when they can point out things that are "out of tune"....sometimes i think they think they are the only people that can "hear" it.

At any rate, thanks for watching guys

Homeskoolin’ Bonus Collage, “Riverside Revival”

Chapters
00:00 - Guitar emersion
04:08 - Playing the '58


Notes
Yes, the planning is still in it’s infantile stages…but i can tell you that there is nothing short of “a movement” underfoot here in the windy streets of Nashville Tennessee.

There is an amazing new venue in east nashville that is built in a totally renovated old church called “Riverside Revival”.

It is being run by some dear friends and kindred musical spirits.
Among them Nick “The Chef” Govrik….my old band mate from Trigger Hippy.

There is definitely gonna be some crazy guitar related action taking place in this building in the not so distant future.

There is even talk of a full on “Nashville Guitar Immersion” program where select people can buy a first class ticket to the full hang and inside behind the scenes access to the community of players here.

We are not sure exactly what it is gonna be yet, but you can trust me on this one thing….Nicky G knows how to throw a fuckin bad ass party.

There is no doubt that whatever ends up happening is gonna be deeeee-luxe.

There is talk of a gig in late February to kick things off and get people acquainted with the venue….a gig with myself, Guthrie Trapp, Jack Ruch, dearest Jedd Hughes and some other guests….and we will working in some master class guitar repair workshops with Greg Voros and Gruhn Guitars.

Stay tuned for further details friends.

Homeskoolin’ Bonus “The Luxe Collective”

Chapters
00:00 - Looking for a house


Notes
Overall, Uncle Larry is a very content soul. He has worked very hard, and has been very fortunate to achieve pretty much everything he ever set out to do in this life.

He is one of those guys that is difficult to buy gifts for, because he seemingly already has everything he wants.

However, there is ONE THING, and ONE THING ONLY that he feels like he is missing in this life. A house with a pool.

Larry literally doesn’t even know how to swim, and personally speaking, he cares very little about pools. However, he has two young boys that LOVE to swim.

And Lord knows that trying to kill a 120 degree saturday in nashville with 2 young boys and no pool TOTALLY SUCKS BALLS.

I clearly understand that the Homeskoolin channel was originally packaged as a free guitar lesson channel…but over the years we have certainly branched out to a VAST ARRAY of non music related subjects. And today’s subject?

If anyone out there is looking for literally the best realtor in Nashville, well here she is. I have been through soooo many realtors in my life…when i found Lisa years ago the search was immediately over. She is the COOLEST…absolutely no bullshit, gets the job done right.

Please try her, you will not regret it

Plus…I just thought it would be fun to look at a house for sale on the Homeskoolin’ channel.
