I watched a video with Tom doing a blindfold comparison of different overdrives including the original Nobles and newer versions. He was able to pick out the original Nobles by ear alone each time. The lesson: the best musicians CAN hear a difference with tone that most of us can't.

Impressive indeed. It's also a question of how each pedal responds and in turn how it feels when you play through it.

Awe man, of all the killer Tone-Talk shows to miss, I screw around and miss this one!! Just watched the whole thing.. Nobody plays like Tom Bukovac or knows more about life in general if I had to guess. Really great episode gents!!

Thanks Shawn! Hope you are doing great!!

Toms great ... fantastic , melodic player ...but humble ...

Tom Bukovac is the man. The definition of cool.

I love the idea of weeding out the straights and jerks by means of 'Trial by Prog' ... golden

Awesome Guys🎸🎵Wonderful panel of guests with a plethora of knowledge. I love HomeSkoolin. I was disappointed Nobody pulled out any SKYNYRD albums😁🍺I guess I'm just getting old✌🏼🤠☯️

Billy Squier is a legend. Probably the most all around rocker of his time. Songs, playing, singing, and a great live performer. Nowadays he plays with Ringo or spends time in Central Park caring for a plot of the gardens.

This is pure gold. Thank you so much guys.

The best KZread channels are the ones with honest, no BS “hey this is me!” content and that’s why Tom is as popular as he is. Love your stuff Tom...please keep it up!

Quickest 2hrs 9mns 25secs of my life . Good stuff .

I loved it when Tom mentioned Robbie Krieger , that was sweet.He also is personable like Lukather.

11 March 1968 here also! lol Great show as usual guys...Tom is awesome!

I like Tom's instrumental pieces, those great chords, and unusual harmonies just speak to me, great stuff. I have also learned a lot from KZread and the music community.

Tom’s sense of humor is priceless…And the look on his face as he hugged his little boy. He’s definitely one of the good ones.

Kudos for bringing on Tom. He’s the real deal and his subscribers are passionate and dedicated. Always love to hear from Uncle Larry. 😎

Oh my gods, I love Tom Bukovac. I am so happy that he is still doing his YT thing. It's extra, and I love it.

Fun show! Thanks guys, good to see Pete drop in as well. Little Tommy is great, have learned so much from him and been entertained a bit with parlor tricks...

Really looking forward to this one guys! Greetings from Ireland ☘️ Love the show!!

Tom is The MAN... GREETINGS FROM SPAIN..

Again another brilliant show loved ever minute.

This is just so awesome to get to listen to a conversation between these guys talking about one of my favorite things

Awesome podcast fellas! Tommy is the man. One of my favourite players / human beings on the planet.

This is one of the coolest shows I’ve seen in a while.!👍🏼

Thanks for the great conversation Marc, Dave, and Tom! Always something in every episode. Tom’s description of Nashville players and attitude is spot on. It reminded me of a big recording session I assisted on, in Quebec ‘98. A bus load of gear and Nashville players were brought in for two weeks. To say these guys were serious, is an understatement. On Sunday though, everyone was glued to the TV watching NFL 😅 Have a great weekend guys :) I’ve got my brother here, and his brand new BE OD Deluxe to mess with, this Victoria Day weekend 🔥

Great show guys👍many thanks from the UK.

Great show!! Thanks :)

I subscribed after i saw the episode sbout joe walsh....first album i ever bought back in 69sh...anyways sometimes i enjoy like sitten and listening to all the stories kinda like hangin out with a musical friend thst shares allbthese fantastic experiences and enjoys sharing...thanks tom youre one of a kind..

Thank God for your moodiness, Tom. I have mountains of voice memos of songs I tell myself “I should be working on.” But there are weeks when I’m just going to work and doing my thing-then I jam and it works unprompted. Don’t ever feel you need to do music out of obligation: it’s better when you’re living your life and it comes along the way.

Excellent episode, gents! A part 2 would be great sometime in the future. 😎🤘

Tom has a no bullshit approach that you have to admire.

I've heard Tom can sound like other players exactly. I heard a drummer from a famous band talk about playing with him and if he closed his eyes he would swear the old guitarist, who's parts Tom played, was in the room.

Never watched a Tone-Talk video before, but my 501ChorusEcho subscription brought me here. 👍 I like your vibe and will check out other vids on your channel.

great session, 2 top channels..thanks guys.

You guys are Tom’s equivalent of pedals that don’t sound like pedals, the real deal. Thanks for a great episode.

Unfortunately I was busy and couldn't watch it live. Just watched it and it was a great episode as usual. Tom was a great guest. Thanks for your efforts Marc & Dave, looking forward to the 100th episode!

yeah, yeah . right, cool man. Loved it

Yeah man, been there from almost the start. My older bro left me all the scratched but charming old Genesis albums. That's a lot of what hooked me up...

Never heard of Tom before the show. Definitely check out some more stuff! Cool guy and down to earth

Epic. Tom really rocks.

Hurray for The Starship Trooper! Always great to see Tom.

I am little to buzzed to answer that question --- classic!

❤ finding Tom’s channel was like finding my own kind and the super bonus is all that talent he has that I enjoy. Wonderful interview.

Excellent show 👍👏👏

Ty Tom for the Education on the Strymon Brigadier I now own one and it’s IS the best Analog Delay!!

It’s 2 a.m. In Wyoming. I’m going to be late for work in the morning. It’s Fun to watch you guys. G’nite!

great to see tom blend with everyone at a peer level and talk shop, or naturally move the conversation to a place where everyone is eager to hear what he says and moves the conversation along. he lives it so he knows it. very skillful and naturally gregarious. if he's pissed off you better be ready to debate. 🤟

Very cool interview! So glad i subscribed to this channel!

Yes, Love the Ken Burns 'Country', 'Jazz', National Parks, The West, all of it pretty much...

Great Show - again. Dave's hair is looking the business. Makes me wish I still had some 👴

Your discussion about creating parts in a couple of takes reminded me of the documentary on the Wrecking Crew. Tom would have been great in that team, too.

Better Off Dead - Best '80's movie. I want my $2.

Awesome show

Man oh man, You men sure know how to create influential special shows. If you ask me, the longer the better too. I have learned a little something from every single one of your guest, no lie...

Awesome show. Love all of you! One thing that most of the best session guys cannot play, though not in demand, is Greek bouzouki style solos. I promise it will make you feel like a beginner. KZread Zambetas, Chiotis (Hendrix knew him personally), Karantinis, Stergiou, Papadopoulos. Tuned like the bottom 4 of a guitar but in D.

great interview

The question "what do you like?" when you didn't have a prepared answer....😂 "Oh, shit..."

Great chat fellas, when I comment on Tom's channel, anything but music cause I don't want him to know how dumb I am, but I can recognise talent. Respect and stay healthy all

Tone Talk one of the best channels on KZread in my opinion.

Much appreciated!

Thanks for an amazing discussion gentlemen! Awesome. The one piece of gear I bought and kick myself I sold: a 1 of 100 PRS S2 Mira all korina. Definitely dumb and beyond stupid; but necessary given the economy and situation at the time! It put all Gibson SGs and most Les Pauls to shame! Honorable mention: a circa 2001-2002 Gibson Les Paul Smartwood Elite (the thin one, with replaced Dirty Fingers pickups!). It was also a monster. Felt like an SG thick body without the weight of a typical Les Paul.

Four years younger than you cats, and Animals has been my favorite since high school. I've never heard anyone else proclaim it to be their favorite as well. Crazy that I now see two out of three that agree. Life is strange.

Peter Asher’s productions were amazing with the likes of Jackson Brown, James Taylor, Waddy Wachtel, and Danny Kortchmar, Leland Skylar etc... studio musicians that performed live as well That was a golden age of producing and performance!!

Goodbye Pork Pie Hat - I whistled that tune All Night down in the police cells one night in '83 … don't ask. They told me to shut it … I didn't. By the morning, the whole cop shop was whistling it.

ha, 5 Rolling Rocks in, Bukovac's on the edge of breakup ...

Nashville was (and still is) a center for book publishing and distribution (including sheet music) before recorded music became ubiquitous- so it was only natural to start manufacturing and distributing records using that existing structure, and then an obvious move to start recording them there as well.

I’m feeling a little to buzzed to answer that question hahah

It’s nice to know I’m not the only person out there who really doesn’t like the Klon sound. Like Tom I bought one back in the 90’s and hated it. I just wish I’d kept mine a few years so I could have netted more of a profit when I sold it.

Like the pay phone on Little Tommy’s wall

He's correct. Road Gigs ARE plentiful with the right talent and management to line them up. I have friends in MULTIPLE bands that tour nationally (Road Gigs) out of Detroit (not Nashville), so yes, it's easy and possible.

Oh wow I have ALL of the issues of Chrystal Planet although I haven’t read them yet. I needed to support this/that idea/guys.

Uncle tommy!

Gotta feel it

Wow I’m late to the comments but man. There’s some talent on this show. Small box combo is my next amplifier.

He was known by many names during the long years he wandered: Elves named him Mithrandir, the "Grey Pilgrim", while the men of Arnor named him Gandalf, which became his most common name. He was also known as Incánus (in the south), and Tharkûn to the Dwarves.

Dustin is my sales engineer, great guy.

Coolcool

5-Stars! ★★★★★

Great show. Was it just me or did Uncle Larry's inner vintage guitar dealer make an appearance when Dave was talking about the hand drilled, hand wired naked amps... ?

Long time subscriber, love this channel. Any chance you can get Jim DeCola on? I’d love to hear his stories about working on pickups with Eddie. 🤘🏻

Next purchase is a dirty Shirley unloading a bunch of gear I don’t use anymore and getting one. Very excited

Totally agree. There’s the Beatles and everyone else.

Just got the BE 100 deluxe in yesterday and man what a fucking beast!!! Les Paul with a Duncan distortion and this thing is balls to the wall! So much chunk and disgusting filth!

if someone doesnt believe tone comes mostly from the hands then think of it this way.. you ever work real hard and your hands get calloused and strong grip, and you play with your thumb and it sounds a lot different than normal? because it plays different, the skin contact is different. we all have different hands. different touches, different everything. period.

Great show as always. Please get Jerry Cantrell on your show. He's a legend and so entertaining, as you well know

Tom's KZread channel is the greatest thing EVA. You MUST sub.

Damn! Just looked and found out Tom and I have the same birthday, but a decade apart. I feel so old now ...... Marc, Tom, and Dave you guys all ROCK!

Hey guys. Regarding Tom's idea for an amp. Apart from the eq thing, Marshall did this with the Vintage Modern.

Dean DeLeo would be a great guest.

Why this channel has just 20k subs after 5 yrs is criminal. These guys should have a few hundred thousand. They should be making some money off this.

Thanks and we agree! But we really enjoy doing it for you guys.

April Wine!!!

Dave time to build an amp for Tommy Boy.

Two session guys did that. Back then the rule was never mention you did some ones work for them or the producer would not hire you again, and word would get out and others would stop hiring you.

Roger Mayer Voodoo-1….Leave it to Uncle Larry to know how awesome that pedal is. All of the drives he mentioned I have and stack incredible well together and work great for gain staging.

Haha Tom, just saw one of you old Nobles pedal for sale, $1050.00!
