Homeskoolin’ Volume 92, Tom Bukovac, “Dilly’s Blues” 

Someone with a 4 wheeler, please bring this man a case of Rolling Rock beer. Make that 2 cases, it’s snowing outside for gods sake.

"He's Bukovac good" is my new designation for greatness

Imagine how much free form noodling has come and gone without the camera rolling, never heard by anyone but Tom, before dissipating into the ether. I can only hope that those never heard harmonies floating around the atmosphere can help steer the world to a better place. Thanks for all you do, Uncle Larry.

Man, your in your garage with your kids knocking about and yet this is some of the best guitar I’ve ever heard in my life??

For later 0:00 “southern prog rock” intro jam 5:14 hello 6:08 sixths bends 8:30 G7 voicing 10:14 “D triad” riff 11:00 Bbadd9 12:32 some lick 13:58 Bb lick 14:39 slow jam

For the life of me I don’t understand why this channel doesn’t have at least 500 thousand subs. Some of the best content on RU-vid . I can’t miss an episode and this was just another great example.

There are more licks in these 17 minutes than most of us will contemplate in a life time. Not to mention the unbelievable chops... love you uncle Larry.

Uncle Larry has an understanding of the fretboard like no other. Period..

Dang...you just dropped enough licks in this one video to keep most of us busy for a lifetime trying to learn them.

Maybe my favorite Uncle Larry Guitar. It can cry, it can scream, it can shred, it can take the abuse of multiple tunings in a freezing cold garage and a whole lot of rage jamming. 🏆 winner hands down

All of my real uncles are pretty boring. Uncle Larry is truly the weird uncle I needed in times like these.

Possibly one of the most important moments in musical history just happened.

Aaah the Hemingway of git. My Monday just improved

That was some of the most epic guitar playing I have EVER heard 🤯

If "solo rock guitar" was a sub genre like "solo jazz guitar" Tom would clearly be it's champion. Your mastery of time, groove and subtle inner chordal voice leading is so musical, subtle and tasteful I often forget it's just one instrument I'm listening too.

Last Friday, I single-mindedly headed toward a six of Guinness in a local store to ease into the weekend. It's then I spy a Rolling Rock. "Should I?" a voice asks myself. And I do...I add a Rolling Rocking to the six of Guinness. What followed could only be described as existential angst. How can a man whose playing I respect so much, a fellow progger steeped in rock and roll, a player who touches my soul with every video drink something so dichotomous to my liking? Has this all been a rouse? Nay...a lie? Then I realized I was buzzed from both the Rolling Rock and Guinness, and all was good in the world. Crisis averted. Uncle Larry, I can't say I'll go down the Rolling Rock path again, but you are loved and respected. All my best to you and your loved ones.

“Cold out here... see if my hands are still workin...” Yea buddy, I think they’re still workin! Awesome as always!

A strong contender for the highest note density of a homeskoolin and I LOVE IT !

Oh lord! That ending 1,4,5 slow jam.. Man, geniusly tasteful, like played by angels!

I couldn’t hold your musicality in higher esteem. This video is ridiculously good. Thank you.

totally amazing!

Pretty sure this is my favorite episode! Thank you!

So great on so many levels and still raw!

Damn man, incredible stuff, got to re watch this again and again...thanks Tom

One of the best inspiaring playing on this one! Thank you🙏

Damn Unc that last 3 minutes is what I’m gonna call the COVID theme song. Thanks Tom that was great!

This is my favorite HS! Love when you just play, man! Could listen all day😘

Tom, this was spectacular. A high water mark for sure.I sure appreciate you taking the time to make these videos.

In love with the tone of that guitar. Hopefully somebody with chains drops off some beer.

I could listen to that for an hour... seriously epic stuff.

Wow just amazing, thank you.

Freaking awesome 👌, love it Tom, that was great from start to finish😊😎😃🎸

So unbelievably clean! What a tone!! Made my day! Greetings from Sweden.

Incredible. Thanks!

Just reminded me of why I love your playing. The outro was so on point. Thank you for that.

I could (and have) watch these for hours.

These videos make me smile. Your playing is so effortless. While I'm not at your level, I still get so much out of them. Thanks, man.

Yesssss! You are the Bukowski of the guitar, you always make me smile and you always make me want to practice. Thank you!

This episode should be called "if anybody was wondering how much of a badass Uncle Larry is, now you know!"

How lucky are we to have Tom , my god this channel is goldmine !!!!

I always like to see your videos Tom thanks

Absolutely brilliant! Man, oh man! Rock on, Uncle Larry.

The last 3 minutes of this is beautiful, get it Tom!

Awesome tone! Masterful.

Such great playing!!!!!

Inspired playing as always, Tom! Cold hands and no Rolling Rock can't keep Uncle Larry down! Thanks, brother!

That guitar is amazing. Dream guitar right there.

Beautiful - thanks UL.

Hey Tom, your fluency and command of the instrument never ceases to amaze (and inspire) me. The reputation you have gained as a top Nashville session cat is more than well deserved. Thanks for giving your time to us like this. Cheers from Akron.

So many amazing nuggets, I'm sure people will be coming back to this one several times. Love that 'Dogs' part.

it took 92 episodes for Tom to finally noodle. And then play the sweetest composition, of course.

You are the best Tom in any weather!

When you get going, watching you play is hypnotizing.

This is the best guitar playing I’ve ever heard in my entire life. Astonishing.

A man from Cleveland gets snowed in without beer ??? Not buying that for a second !!! 😂

Genesis feeling over some chords. Wonderful played. I regret I putting the guitar away for 25 years, but now it’s so fun again and this channel is inspiring.

Holy mother of beer, that’s some of the most amazing playing I’ve heard.

Inspiring! What effortless flow.

One of my favorite episodes yet! Some times you just need 15 minutes of Uncle Larry tastefully shredding...no talking, no VCB, no commentary, just some of the most tasteful guitar playing on the planet!!!! Stay Warm bro!

Awesome bro !

Just in awe. Fair play 👏👏👏

Your playing is awesome, you make this hack keep picking it up and trying! Thanks man.

That’s some holy stuff you’re playing there, Tom. Love it. Stay warm.

Thank you Tom🙏🏻

...SO much much colour in just one instrument ...astounding ...the very best

One of the good things about these youtube vids is getting to hear great players playing raw, live through an amp or just into the room... without being overproduced and shined up too much - I'd rather hear buzzes, snare rattles, fingers on wood and metal.... a bit less perfection and a bit more of improvisation too... music doesn't have to be all tied up nice and tidy in a song... I for one would love to hear Tom with some of these great players he shows us just bouncing off each other in a room and seeing where the mood takes them... like a Nashville basement tapes. Thanks for all this Tom, it's much appreciated. I loved the vid of you in the studio overdubbing on the garagey song demonstrating all the things you've been talking about over the last year or so.

Thanks for the stream of consciousness that I can pick through and gather up a multitude of little gems.

Stuck in my cabin in the woods with weather and the rona out there thanks Tom for keeping me from getting bored again! Dilly's Blues was just the ticket!

I love the flavor your serving!! Thanks!

Thanks BUK!! You are a guitar poet.

Hey uncle Larry man thanks for all the feel good licks that you displayed today they put a smile on my face and a chuckle in my heart keep warm but most of all stay cool.

Tom.....Every time I tune in to watch another episode.... I got to go and plug in... 😎. Thx!

Love it when you do hodgepodges and medlies... stay warm and i hope the beer crisis gets averted.

Great playing and great beer selection!

Holy moly uncle Larry! That intro was to die for....thank you.

Man ! I've watched every episode since day 1 (sadest chord of all time) and this is in your top 3 riffage at the top of the show. Peace man 8 inches of snow tomorow where I live .🥶

Ain't nothing's quite like Monday southern prog garage sessions with our favorite Uncle Larry.

Damn Tom, you were on fire today!!! Uncle Larry Rules!!

I like nothing more than hearing your stream of consciousness jams Uncle Laz. There’s a few up on the toob that others have posted. Always gems 💎

Home flowin sledding!!! my favorite thing as a kid.. so cool

You’re making sounds on a guitar that I’ve never heard, let alone played. Astonishingly beautiful.

Finally caught up from lesson 1. Though I could stay al lesson 89 for a long long time. Thanks for it all. Just unreal. Changed my way of looking at the guitar for ever.

I'm a Philly guy and I was raised on Rolling Rock. Pony bottles so they'd stay cold in the summer heat. Sweet stream of consciousness jam Uncle Larry!! Thanks for posting.

Man, you are on fire in the last two episodes. Snowed in and low on beer seems to bring out Uncle Riff-meister.

Uncle Larry just said, "Here boys...chew on this" and then proceeded by giving us a feast that should keep us all full and at the same time "hungry" for the rest of our careers. Cheers and thanks for sharing that with us! Special bro!

And that, children, is what a 1st call Nashville session player sounds like. Honestly, I’ve never heard him play anything that wasn’t simultaneously inspiring, jaw-dropping, and humbling. Tom, we are all very blessed to be able to share your gifts, so thank you so much!

Thank you Uncle Larry. Made the end of a crappy Monday easier to deal with.

incredible feel..... wow

Love the tones Mr. Session Man!

Wow, thought I had seen most of Toms tricks buts there's a months worth of studying in this one video for me ... just love your feel and technique Tom, so inspiring

Enchanted guitar playing.

Greetings, from Memphis. I have never liked a video faster.

No idea why but that amazing outro had some christmassy vibes to it. You came up with some incredible versatile melodic stuff that I expect from some of my guitar heroes on a record... but you came up with it on the spot. Guitar wizard.

When you hit that phaser....man. What a sound!

Thank you!

17:52 of pure joy. I feel your "no Rolling Rock Blues" pain
