Ya' know, if anyone out there has some nice old 50's or 60's football cards they wanna sell or trade for guitars, please email me at tombukovac@gmail.com

Uncle Larry's therapist suggested that maybe he should try getting his mind off music for a minute, and collecting old cards is the closest thing Larry has to a "non-music related hobby"....

Homeskoolin’ Bonus, “Shut Up & Play Your Beat Up Old Burst”

Chapters
00:00 - '58 Gibson playing


Notes
Uncle Larry drinks an ice cold Yuengling and dreams up some crazy loop in front of God and Everybody...with TWO shots at different live solos...

All free, and all played through one of those cool 80’s Fender Super Champs that Paul Rivera made.

The 3rd and Lindsley show on Dec 20 is officially sold out...thanks to all who bought tickets.

A special fuck off to a talent free poser named "Pmann", who i had to block from the channel for being a total dick...I am ABSOLUTELY sure i am not the first person to block this kid from their channel.

Homeskoolin’ Bonus “John Hancock Blues”

Chapters
00:00 - Hello, friends! / Trip The Witch / Gibson Catalog / Sunn Amp


Notes
Hello friends…. the Trip The Witch signed posters and CD's are back!
https://shop.bandwear.com/collections...

and...before i change my mind, if you’re interested in the coolest Sunn amp of all time, i am asking 3800.00 cash money for the head and 4x10 cabinet....and of course it's straight as hell. email me at tombukovac@gmail.com

Just FYI…the only other Sunn Coliseum PA head available at this moment on reverb is a clone….AND it’s 6k.

Or…i would consider a trade for THE RIGHT 1969-73 Hiwatt 100 watt head…but it has to be straight,....no monkey business...gotta have original trannies and all that shit….no late 70’s/ 80’s stuff....gotta be 69 thru 73 kids...unless you have one of those early script logo ones that are made of pure unobtainium.

As you know, Larry likes the old shit

Homeskoolin’ Bonus “The First Night We Fell In Love”

Chapters
00:00 - Empress ParaEQ Deluxe pedal showcase


Notes
Here’s a long form video strictly for the true tone freak weirdos out there.

Don’t even bother watching this if you are one of those guys that plays through a modeling amp instead of a real tube amp because it’s “good enough” and “no one can tell the difference anyway”

Taking you back to October 11 2022 here….the first time i ever heard the magical new Empress Para EQ pedal.

Picture me sitting in my kitchen late one night with a pretty stout buzz on, trying out a bunch of weird bass pedals with my buddy Renn (who has perfect hearing) tweaking the controls and Ford on the camera, when i said “hey dudes, we should check out this new empress pedal the guy sent me”

As you can see here we were all immediately taken by it’s expensive sound.

Through an iphone mic, you might need headphones to really hear the subtle differences this thing gives you, but trust me, in the room it is hardly subtle.

Thank you for all the kind words about the recent videos.
You guys are awesome
