Hey guys….thanks for watching the show. Check out www.guitarhouse.net for uncle larry merch…plexi soul cd’s and t shirts on the way.

Uncle larry’s garage sale…email me at tombukovac@gmail.com if you are interested in any of this shit.

1) absolutely primo 1946 gibson j-45 neck only….AMAZING condition and original finish ….1500 firm…this could be a life changer for the right person/repairman out there

2) 1964 fender vibroverb 1x15 combo amp. As you know this model is BY FAR the most coveted of the entire blackface line by collectors…basically just a pro reverb with a 15” speaker, for twice the money. 4500 firm and i WILL NOT SHIP…you gotta come to larry’s house to get this if you want it. 7/10 cosmetic condition…has definitely been played and gigged. All original trannies and speaker…serviced by Ebo…sounds absolutely lovely

3) 1959 watkins westminster…small and EXTREMELY stylish little british tube combo amp….sounds good but could sound GREAT with a bit of tweaking and TLC….Sold as is for 1300 firm and I WILL NOT SHIP. Nice sounding tremolo circuit

Homeskoolin’ Bonus…”Jeddy Unitas”

Chapters
00:00 - Acoustic playing by Jedd Hughes


Notes
Just when i thought this magical Sunday where i went 4-0 on NFL bets couldn’t get any better, just imagine my joy when the pride of Quorn, Jedd Hughes, showed up my door at midnight last night….i told him he could crash here at my crib for the week while he is in town making a record.

I have been waiting patiently to hear him extract magic tone from the '38 bone like only he can, and i promptly put it in his hands within the first five minutes he was here.

You may have guessed, your crazy uncle is an avid football and baseball card collector since the age of 8….

This little vignette shows four of my heroes…Nitschke and Unitas from the lovely red and blue bordered '71 Topps football set (one of my personal alltime favorite sets)…a '73 Topps Dick Butkus "action card"….and some other guy holding a guitar.

Thanks for supporting the channel lads…and thank you for the continuing positivity regarding the Plexi Soul record.

Notes
Just a little thingy i made up last night….this is the guitar you hear on most of the tracks of the Plexi Soul record….from the glass lined tanks of the golden age of Kalamazoo…a little slice of pre-Vietnam American glory.

Thanks for supporting the channel friends.

Just when you think life can’t get any weirder…Dave Stewart decides that Uncle Larry’s new old bachelor pad is the ONLY place suitable to film Joss Stone’s new music video….despite the fact that the director, Brian Tortoro (featured in this video) tried to talk some sense into him and suggested several other locations.

Thank you for supporting the channel and thank you guys for buying my record.

Homeskoolin’ Update…PLEASE read the video description below!

Chapters
00:00 - Mini pedalboard build


Bandcamp links:
https://tombukovac.bandcamp.com/album/plexi-soul
https://tombukovac.bandcamp.com/album/plexi-soul-homeskoolin-edition


Notes
As soon as i know the link to the bandcamp website where the album will be posted for sale, i will pin it on the comments for this video.

Dearest Nathan from Duesenberg proposed a brilliant idea. In an effort to include EVERYONE….we are gonna do it this way. Everyone who buys both copies of the record will automatically be entered into a drawing that will most likely happen on Christmas morning….the winner will receive a new Duesenberg Session Man guitar.

I want this to be a two part contest type deal…I'm thinking part one is the drawing where EVERYONE who buys both versions of the record can win….part two will be for all the players out there…where we will give away an Ebo Customs amp to whoever wins the playing portion.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND!!!!
This is all still being put together and nothing is carved in stone here. I will present all the final details about the contest situation as soon as they are officially cemented I swear.

I want to sincerely thank my dear friends at XTS pedalboards here in Nashville for throwing this killer little fly board together for me on VERY short notice…these guys are the absolute greatest and i appreciate them so much.

Stay tuned for the link to my silly record guys…thank you SO MUCH for your continued support of the channel.

I can’t express how much i cherish the heartfelt comments many of you have sent about how i have helped so many of you get through covid with these lessons…it means the world to me and i hope you all know that.

Rock on brothers
