Homeskoolin’ Quickie, “Don’t Quit Your Day Job”

00:00 - Acoustic playing and singing
Notes
See? I told ya i can’t sing for shit…but you know me, i’m totally shameless.
My son Marshall gets soooo embarrassed when i start singing real loud in the grocery store or in the car line when i drop him and his brother off at school.
I just keep telling them, boys, anyone can be inhibited and shy, but it takes REAL guts to be an idiot.
This one goes out to you Drew.

Homeskoolin’ Extra Credit, “Two Chord Symphony”

00:00 - Insane guitar playing
Notes
Hello friends….just a little clip of Larry testing the load bearing capacity of this wonderful old 58 es-225 that he is considering purchasing…..
On that note, if anyone out there in the Greater Nashville area (or somewhere reasonably close) had any interest in owning Larry’s embarrassingly clean and painfully original 65 Vibrolux Reverb (with the coveted factory Jensen 10’s praise Him) he would most assuredly use that money (3500) to buy this old plunk (slightly more than 3500)…..
Contained within tonites programming is a not so brief illustration of some harmonic and rhythmic possibilities a person could consider while going back and forth between two boring old chords over and over.
P-90’s for life….fuck off Gilbert
Thanks for watching the show guys

Homeskoolin’ Bonus Footage…”Straight In”

00:00 - Rocking out
Notes
I have only found a few things in this life that are more exciting than the feeling of plugging a great guitar straight into a raunchy little amp that’s turned up loud enough to potentially bother the neighbors…it is simply electrifying.
Just got home from a fun session and felt like playing a little more tonite. Wish you could hear what this little combo sounded like in the room…good stuff.
This is a recently acquired 58 les paul junior into my trusty old gretsch 6161 combo amp I’ve had forever.

Homeskoolin’ “Song For The Dokta”

00:00 - Sad day tunes
Notes
Sorry i haven’t been around much lately folks….been having a bit of a rough go.
I lost a very close friend last Tuesday night…i found him dead in his house …. suspected heart attack….and to top it all off? all this happened on his 55th birthday.
The Dokta…. known to most of the world as Richard L Reith….known to my two sweet boys as “Uncle Rick”.
I have known the kid since i was 16….
we lived together in shit hole rental houses back in our early nashville days when we were both broke desperately trying to get our careers going…..later on we co-owned 2nd Gear music store here in nashville together for 3 years.
Sarah and I finally told the boys tonite that he is gone….they took it hard.
Fuckin’ horrible.
He was an ace of a guy…very intelligent, good at fixing and building stuff…strong as an ox.
remember the vid a while back where i had a friend out in my garage helping me rebuild from the flood? That was him.
He was always there when you needed him. A front house sound man and road manager by trade….he worked with all kinds of artists….including Eric Johnson, which is a gig he particularly loved. he loved old Genesis and Zappa as much as i did. He rarely drank, but he smoked weed powerful enough to kill most normal men all goddamn day long. Dammit i’m gonna miss him. See ya down the road my man

Homeskoolin’ Extra Credit “Obsession Man”

00:00 - Tennessee blues playing
Notes
Happy Sunday folks….just a brief exploration on my trusty old Doozy Multi-Bender….football bets are going reasonably well today so far…let’s hope the packers and vikings score 43 points or more tonite in the 11 degree weather they are playing in.
Appreciate those who watch/donate/say nice things….it means a lot to larry that you tune in….
I had a guy tell me that im looking haggered lately.
He gave me some “sage advice” saying i need sleep.
What’s that old saying, “walk a mile in another man’s shoes or shut the fuck up and stop trying to give life advice to a 53 year dude from cleveland who is forged in iron by deep inner pain and decades of back alley knife fights.”….i can’t quite remember but it’s something like that.

Homeskoolin’, Tom Bukovac “I Always Pictured You Wearing Pants Pt. 6”

00:00 - Majestic, out of this world playing
Notes
Stream of nonsenciousness late night ramblings from a guy who still believes in Santa.
Just seeing what kind of scenic routes this old Junior likes to go on.
Thank you guys for all the encouragement….try these crazy voicings whenever you take a break from watching mimi…kinda tough grabs but worth it.
