Homeskoolin’ Volume 253, Tom Bukovac, “The Two Things I DESPERATELY Try To Avoid” 

Love the jazz sparkles. What if you're Angus?

"Giving all my blues secrets away people, that's alright, I'm almost done with them" A classic in the making right there!😎

After the 252 previous volumes, this one somehow exemplifies the guitar player I want to be when I grow up. And I’m 55.

This might be the single best lesson I've ever seen on playing blues. Thank you, most generous Uncle Larry! I will forever be a better musician because of you.

Love it Tom. Thank you.

Glimpse the beast! So much to glean from this one…thanks for giving Tom.

Pure gold. Thanks for the lesson.

Tom, you are so generous with your knowledge. Thank you!

I love it when he gives these creative insights...pure gold.

Man, Uncle Larry is ENERGIZED today. Great stuff.

love the jams you do! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us Tom

Such a nice lesson. Short and sweet. Thanks a million and glwts

Most of the time my mind is just blown watching you play!

Your playing always amazes me, Uncle Larry. Great master class. You're a huge inspiration to this hack.

God bless Uncle Larry! Thanks man

Dude, you crack me up every time I see you!

Very cool tips, Uncle Larry. Thank you!

The neck on that SG looks perfect , great feel for playing you have man .

I first saw this a few weeks ago, but didn't have a chance to watch it properly and thought I'd go back to it later. After several tries and finally a whole morning searching... Happy. Great nuggets of info in there. Thanks Larry. Keep well.

Simply a different level of playing. Great lesson, thanks👍

Superb lesson, thanks Tom

Awesome… thanks for the lesson!!!

This video was awesome! It got me playing guitar at 2AM after an 8 hour day of playing gigs downtown. Thank you, Larry!

I just keep coming back to this video over and over. So many ideas to find the “cool notes hiding underneath the rocks”. Many thanks buk 🙏🏻

Just another super informative session, Thanks

Much appreciated this one.

Sweet Uncle Larry! Just love it when you crank out some blues licks! My favorite kind of musick!

Great lesson Tom!!!😎

Man I can’t tell you how much I enjoy coming to this channel, always killer guitar player. Great commentary and life lessons, definitely one of the best things to have come from the lockdown and I appreciate you sharing your time jamming with all of us!

Ta Tom, insightful as always. Hope a better beer finds you shortly. Cheers 🍻

Genius at work!

I needed that. Completely stuck in pentatonic scale. Thanks Uncle Larry!! 🙌

Thanks Uncle Larry. again and again, best lesson teacher on the planet!

Pure organic playing in the beginning. Amazing!

Tom. You are a true badass! Thanks for the lesson.

Thank you taking on the road with you Uncle L ! Hoping you still get to catch some games tomorrow. Thanks for the great lesson and wisdom ! With Gratitude - John

Your best video yet - super useful.

Effortless and sooooo soulful man……. Just wow!!!

Uncle Larry, I had been away for awhile. What a perfect time to return. As always, your playing is stunning. You make me want to be a better player. I will take all your tips and try to incorporate them. You made my day!

Great way to start the day...thoughtful blues from Uncle Larry.

This is why we love u Tom, you continue to stay out of the box and never follow any one thing! Great lesson and love from mick in Australia 🇦🇺

gotta say this one has inspired me. but all your lessons are gold. thanks

wow great tips.being newer to guitar i never thought of these little tricks.and being that blues is my focus awesome ways to think outside the box,literally.thanks again

Great lesson Tom,kick ass on that gig!

I like it when Uncle Larry makes us think about what we’re playing…which is the hardest part after your hands can move…. Very valuable thanks

Hey Tom, that was a bad ass master class. Bro, thank you!

Man oh man! As a boring Blues man myself I love seeing some of the things I love being pointed out as cool! This video has to be one of my favourite Home Skoolin video lessons yet! Uncle Larry killin' it again.

Great lesson, thank you!!!

The way our good Uncle Larry plays, he makes me hang on every note...just amazing to me. Plus the extra note or two as self accompaniment.

Great lesson Tom. That was some NASTY stuff,man!!! 😁

Made it over from Arizona. Checked in and ready for the show tomorrow night.

Welcome to San Diego! 🌅 I’m looking forward to the show tomorrow. 😎 Have a great time!

Sweet sweet sweet. I am intrigued by your interpretation and colouring of the melody with the musical twists and turns. I enjoyed this snippet immensely. Thank you for posting.

I could listen to you and Mike Campbell talk about vibrato all afternoon. Great stuff, Uncle Larry as always!

Thank you sir!

Sick lesson! No fluff, no bullshit, just what we need👍thanks Tom

"Cool notes hiding under the rocks." That's outstanding. I don't think that could possibly be said any better. It's a treat when you hear them and even better when you find them yourself. You are the best Uncle Larry.

Such a great lesson loaded with fretboard wisdom and wizardry...THANKS BUK!!!

Thanks Tom, i really needed this. Been trying to sneak in a few blue notes here n there, i like the way you do it though. Sounds great brother 👌

Great lesson today Uncle Larry! Your travel axe sounds amazing, hope the Veteran's Day gig goes well, I'm sure it will.

I love when Uncle Larry just gets down to brass tacks. My mouse ran out of batteries because I started and stopped this lesson so many times.

Great. I’m gonna learn it! Watch this space in 6 months! 🎸

Has there ever been a cooler Uncle in the history of music, always tasteful and the right kinda nastiness....Much respect!!!!

Really helpful ideas. Thanks. Safe travels!😊

I only tune in, because when I do, I feel like I’ve hit the lottery every time. Always solid gold, thank you Tom.

great tips, thank you!

A lot of the flavours come from the path that bends take while travelling from one note to another. I think this is one thing of many that can lend personality to playing. It’s an emulation of the human voice and everyone sings a little differently and once you “get it” you’re not bound by what others have done already. Uncle Larry figured that out a long time ago. Awesome flavour Tom!

One of your best ever, as a dumb student of guitar & blues, this is saved for ever! 🙏

Wow. Thx for this. I love this lesson and tips. I have been playing a long time and this offers so much more. Cheers with some good old Canadian beer

Beautiful playing

The only blues master class we’ll all ever need!

In my Polish world where I can see The Blues Police in the crowd (older belivers that it has to be played in Robert Johnson etc. way) while I am playing at my favourite blues Festival, wanting to get the uncommon notes, you are my Hero Man 🙏 This is pure gold. THOSE LICKS AND TOOLS will be used ❤ God damn I thought you made this lesson espevially for me. Love your blues playing Buk 💪

Cool, thanks for the tips Tom. I don't say a lot but I am listening and appreciate your content.

Great lesson.

Oh wow!! Thank you for all those amazing tasty tone tips. Very much appreciated. (Those are some of my Guitar pet peeves too.)

Great lesson for people like me, stuck in Pentatonic quicksand. Much of what I hear in this lesson reminds me of the ABB Live At The Fillmore sound (in my opinion). Both Duane & Dickey took great inspiration from and incorporated jazz elements in their playing using the techniques that you've demonstrated. Thanks for the motivation.

This was great, especially for me as blues nut, thank you uncle larry and all the best from Germany, peace! =)

Greatest lesson I ever got 😮

Larry is dropping knowledge. Put this in your lesson playlist

Thanks, Buk. Safe travels, brother.

Thanks Tom!

Right on, thanks ❤

you're a BEAST, bro. brett papa said to stop over for a bit. glad i did. i'll stick around to see about picking up on some of these gems you're handing out. see you soon. and thanks.

Wow! Wonderful content!! My world is better with uncle Larry

Really good stuff. Some stuff I knew but some of that stuff I am gonna try like right now!

Back in my blues band days, we invented Smooth Blues. The slogan: I feel bad...but not THAT bad.

Playing 10x better first try👊🏽. Epic man love you 😎

Master class. I can't wait to plug in and get those tubes red hot in the morning!

This is like listening to Miles Davis learning guitar, taking blues lessons from Jimmy Page! Very thoughtful and soulfelt. Thanks, Uncle Larry!

Wicked shit!! My imagination is running wild. Damn, have to practice my set list. Thanks again for these inspirational videos, and peeks behind the curtain.

I been working hard on this uncle larry,im guilty of the "usual" notes "& lame vibrato ,appreciate you so much sir!

Said it before and I’ll say it again. The BEST PINKY in the business…And I absolutely LOVE the fretboard on that SG

Stop me if I've said this before. By light years the best guitar channel on RU-vid. There is so much in this one lesson. Awesome.

"nobody does that shit". freaking freak o' nature playing right there, tio larry .. . love it.

great lesson thanks

Awesomeness!!!

Thanks for this video!! So damn good, sir!!

An Unlce Larry Blues Masterclass... Thanks, Unc! 🙏🏻 Stay safe and travel well 🤍
