That’s the concept, I’ll put up a couple episodes of other people doing it, we will see how it goes. It might be cool and it might be a total goat fuck, we shall see. I know one thing, like my dear old granny used to say… “If you never try anything crazy and new shit gets boring real quick” All you married guys out there can relate to that

‘I think I can help a lot of people.’ Truer words never spoken. Thanks for all the help so far.

Offbeat story: The Beat poet Lew Welch disappeared into the California wilderness in 1970, carrying a gun and leaving behind a suicide note. Nothing of him has been seen since. He left behind a lover and her son by another man, Hugh Anthony Cregg III, to whom Welch became a stepfather. Hugh Anthony Cregg III is better known as Huey Lewis.

Don’t count out the sweaty festival. I thought my festival days were long gone until my 15 y.o. Daughter asked to go to the warped tour. Watching her enjoy herself made it all worthwhile.

The lessons idea is the best! Natural evolution of the Skool.

The “Talk” album has to be one of the best engineered albums I have ever heard. Full of incredible playing as well.

Thanks for brightening my morning! As usual - you are a joy to listen to (talk and music!)

Didn't Spock play something like that in an early episode of Star Trek?

I always loved Chris Hayes playing as well. Such tasteful riffs and always placed perfectly. Keith Scott from Bryan Adam's band and Mike Campbell from the Heartbreakers are like that as well... they weren't (aren't) shredders, but their phrasing is always so amazing. They say a lot with very few notes.

That’s 💯 Cats in the cradle guitar sound

Be careful. Old crotchety Don H. is gonna come after ya for playin' that........LOL.

This is such a good idea! Thanks for even thinking of sharing it!

There's some other Nashville studio cat who did a "dad band" demo critique with his subscribers on his channel - and while mildly interesting, I watch to see/hear your playing, pick up ideas, be inspired, and learn from your vast experience: not only the technical, interesting, & funny stories, but the imparting of FEEL and the INTANGIBLES of music ( your experience, in particular) 2 cents.

this dude's got a big bag of swagger! ....Such a comprehensive history of love for music. I hope you live forever, Tom! God bless your love of music and talent, also. you got a great ear. and great sound outta that sitar thing.. Quadruple dang, brother! Peace, and rock on!

Great sound; thanks Unc! 💪🎸

Good morning to you as well, thanks Tom😎

Huey Lewis and The News!!! My first concert ever!! 😂😂

I would certainly watch the lessons, I think I could learn a lot from them.

Great Idea👏🏼👏🏼

Another good one , thanks.

"You can skip the whole damn thing if you want" Man I spit my coke out! I had a feeling you were gonna say something like that but when you did I lost it! Hilarious. Love your channel Dude!

Huey Lewis and the News was one of the great bands from the 80's, I've watched an interview with him where he talks about his hearing lose and says playing live, the sound just reeks havoc on his hearing....Love the sit-guitar....I like it when Keith Urban does songs with his banjo/guitar....great sound.

Your a wild man Brother. This is an awsome episode

Huey Lewis is credited with playing harmonica on Thin Lizzy's "Live and Dangerous" album. HIs previous band Clover used to open for Thin Lizzy....then 3 guys from Clover left and recorded "My aim is true" with Elvis Costello.

Good idea Tom !

I’m sure you’re a great teacher. The things a student would learn are off the charts. I took a handful of lessons from old Arrowhead music Mentor Ohio.

"Come and get Your Love" by Redbone is the song with my fave electric sitar...

Amazing creativity with the sitar.

Have a great weekend Uncle LArry...

I love the 80s - Yes - Huey Lewis and the News - the real deal this video made me laugh - good stuff.

THAT was an Epic episode! 🤙🏼

Thanks for being awesome uncle larry.

Cool tone !!!

Sports is a sound. So good

Singer I used to work with Dave Robinson ("Dancin' in the Moonlight" singer, since passed, totally awesome voice) roomed with Huey, they also traveled with some of the Beach Boys in a Yatch Sailboat in the Caribbean and did gigs under a different name which I forgot the name now, pretty cool. They put out some albums too. There's a video of Huey & Dave on KZread but Dave couldn't sing well anymore. I'm unschooled in playing yet I've been gigging for almost 60 years. I dont know a thing about music on paper but I managed to gig all those years. I play from feeling not scales and all that. It just comes out of me, cant explain. I toured with a Show Band for years in the 70's. Then played from tiny bars to festivals. Im retired now due to poor health and my whole body is about wore out. Online lessons sounds like an awesome idea though. I wish I knew more, even now. Its been a Ride... Good Luck with that lesson thing, sounds cool .

The 2 best songs off the 90125 album, 'It can happen', and 'Changes'.

Great idea. Just have to gather the courage.

Tom Huey Lewis! Yeah! Very underrated .... Glad you like him. A character. Thanks for your dedication and great content.

Lessons in the format you describe will be terrific new content that will increase your reach and also the number of people you help with their guitar journey. I would make sure you don't only get people that are advanced players (which many of your followers are) but also people that are new on the road to guitar with skills that are on the lower part of the learning curve.

Haha that thing is awesome you should play that all the time.

Tom, delivering that signed album to Sawyer is a really cool deal man, you're the best brother!

Love the channel Tom! Incorporating lessons is a great idea. You could also just get one on one with someone, film the lessons and put them up on youtube. A youtube channel that's just you teaching someone guitar would be incredible.

Man. I TOTALLY agree about “Do You Believe In Love?” by Huey Lewis & The News. Holy Moses…that song does indeed rock and the lead vocal kicks and as you mentioned…the harmonies are totally insane, especially the HIGH harmonies. They all had the chops for exquisite harmony singing…heavily Doo-Wop influenced-which you can hear to great effect on “Bad Is Bad” for example. I do know that their great saxophonist Johnny Colla arranged the harmonies though I’m not certain who handled the really high stuff. Interesting side note which relates to the great Ann Wilson whom I know you rightly hold in high regard…Johnny Colla sang backing vocals with Ann and Nancy along with Mickey Thomas (yep, of Starship and Elvin Bishop fame) on key tracks from the mega-hit 1986 ‘Heart’ album which included “Nothin’ At All” and Bernie Taupin’s “These Dreams”!

"Sports" was the first album I ever bought with my own money...still one of my all-time favorites. "Heart And Soul" gets me every time I hear it 🤘

She sells sanctuary, White Wedding on that ronco sitar would be ha-larry - us

Speaking of fire, our band in the 90s worked for over two years playing and selling everything from shirts to weed, working odd jobs in places we played etc, to get nice crystal clear sounding equipment and we lost everything in a bar fire except a fiddle and a couple of guitars. Arson. My drums were a big puddle of melted cymbals stuck to drum rims. I had nice mics and a big Fender powered monitor, two more monitors the others used, a mixer, huge bag of backup cords, parts, drum heads, 30 pairs of sticks, a new 58 Beta vocal mic I was proud of, and my new coat stuck inside the bass drum. I remember one of the guitar players trying to find the metal pieces of his guitar. PS: I love that YES album. I remember.

I emailed you a clip of my playing for critique good or really really bad...cannot believe I did but why not? You inspire me Tom! thank you

Huey Lewis on sitar, hell yeah!!! 🤣🎸🔥Huey burns man, sneaky band right there hahaha Those maj 6 chords are so recognizable!

Sounds great. One of Hank jrs best.

I didn’t realize until fairly recently that “Do You Believe in Love” was written by Mutt Lange. That track holds up for me.

Trevor Bukovac, nice one .. ... those were the days .... Leave it, my favorite song from 90125 ... wrong : It can happen

So, I went to one of our national sales meetings in Fla probably around early 2000's and Huey Lewis and the News was our entertainment. They killed it and Huey came to the hotel bar afterwards and just hung out with a couple of us talking. Dude was very down to earth and friendly.

Can’t wait for my signed copy of In Stereo to ship!

hello friends...i've had several emails from people that somehow got the impression that i am offering free evaluations of people's playing.... just to be clear, i am offering these evaluations for the same 500.00 fee i charge for my in person guitar lessons. sorry if i was somehow misleading in this video.... ok, as you were

Great opener! I love Hank's song. And Zeppelin on a sitar is always great!! Did you save the strings off that charred 335?

I love the idea

Hey, Tom! Thank you for the tidbit of info on Huey & his News. I feel like so many of the younger aged folks don’t know a lot of the music from the 80s that really were staples of the era. They all know Journey & VanHalen & even Pat Benatar but many have never heard the Sports album! Which is crazy to me!! Like you stated, nearly every one of those were hits! That doesn’t always mean much, but in this case it’s worth a listen, if never heard before. (Just my opinion)(Which carries nothing but my 50 years of enjoying music & appreciation of the musicians & others who make it!) Also, Wipeout (as one of your recent videos highlighted & informed us of Marshall’s talent show number that brought the house down!😉) might be a fun one to try on this beauty of an instrument?! Thanks for this great conmunity you created, Uncle Larry!! LaterSkater🤘😎

Man. Look at you nailing that intro sans capo. 🎸👍🏻

Chris Hayes is definitely an under-celebrated guitarist. Huey Lewis had been in Clover before forming the News, so maybe he'd picked up some production pointers from Mutt Lange.

Sounds like a good idea. Hopefully the subscription content is still in the works too.

Supposedly Huey Lewis band before the News was the sh@t. I believe they were called Clover. John McFee, now of the Doobie Brothers, was the guitar player. They played on My Aim Is True the debut Elvis Costello record. Just a little FYI if you’re not hip. Have a great weekend. Much love from NC.

Self produced? Wow. That is just incredible.

Larry, a few years ago (around the beginning of corona lessons) I was looking for reasonable pickups to replace the stock ones in a cheap japanese tele. Stumbled across an old email you sent to van zandt pickups praising them for a set you had in a cheap japanese tele you picked up on ebay. Needless to say, I bought them immediately and they transformed the guitar, but I just wanted to know if you remember that guitar and what happened to it. I've been curious ever since. The video you posted the other day about your instrument collection reminded me to ask. Great idea about the lessons btw. Thanks for everything!
