Homeskoolin’ Short…”Brain Twister”

Chapters
00:00 - Chicken pickin'


Notes
The first Homeskoolin’ “Short”, for what it’s worth.

So, can anyone out there actually play this clean?

I almost got it….pretty fuckin’ tough riff at the end. Ya’ know, i got some great advice years ago…it was something along the lines of “Tom, don’t ever write a riff you can’t play”

This sweet old 54 Esquire chopper in this video is a cherished gift from a dear dear friend who would be a real strong contender for “the coolest dude to ever inhabit this earth”…if that was ever a contest.

Rock on Homeskoolers!!

Homeskoolin’ Bonus….”Resto Mod Sunday”

Chapters
00:00 - Kick ass 2-tone Telecaster


Notes
Uncle Larry sharing some deep feelings about old guitars.

Some may argue with Larry’s reasoning here, but file it under the age old debate between “players” and “collectors”.

One of my favorite sayings regarding vintage instruments…”just cuz its old don’t mean it’s cool”

Happy sunday y’all!

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

Chapters
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”

Chapters
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”

Chapters
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.
