Homeskoolin' Volume 225, Tom Bukovac, "Deuce & A Cawtahh"

Uncle Larry shows you how to do a long forgotten ancient technique of picking the guitar.
a LOT of new viewers have recently asked "where is the tip jar?" when they felt led to contribute something after 225 free guitar lessons...despite Dominic Hudson's best efforts to deter them.

There are still a few more of the hand signed limited edition Uncle Larry prints that Ziggy O'Leary did left....if you wanna check one out go here:

and a LOT of people don't seem to know that they can go here to purchase a myriad of Homeskoolin' related merchandise..including several different T-shirts and some beautifully constructed coffee mugs for those afflicted with thin lips...

A lot of these very same new viewers don't seem to know that Uncle Larry made a couple records that they could potentially listen to...
one is an instrumental solo record called "Plexi Soul" that is available here:
tombukovac.bandcamp.com/album...
another is an instrumental collaboration with his dear friend Dean Deleo (originally from the Stone Temple Pilots organization) that is available here:

    Hey Tom, Back in the 90's I was VCR taping TV talk show clips of cool band performances. One night Letterman had Wynonna on and her guitar player was fabulous. He played an old blue LP JR double cut with one P90 - same guitar I had just sold. I had no way of knowing who he was but man, what playing and what a sound! Some 25 years later I'm watching Homeschoolin' and you mentioned touring with Wynonna years before. So I dug out that clip (I saved them all) and son-of-a-bitch there you are! I just watched it again and - wow! I thought you might get a kick out of that story. After 59 years, you are hands down the best player I've ever heard.

    It just so happened that the one time I had both a 'good' electric guitar and an amp at the same time in a long time, I came upon Home Skoolin'. It has been so helpful and fun. I will always be an acoustic player first and foremost, but Home Skoolin' has provided me a super highway to the heart of what electric rock guitar is all about. Riffs, gigs, hot seshes galore-- yeah yeah yeah. What I love is how much you love it, Buk. That's my jam.

    Uncle Larry, some great points in this video, especially about judging with your eyes. As someone who has been blind from birth, I definitely can relate to what you’re talking about. I remember playing gigs where people would judge mine and others tones based on what guitar they saw, saying things like “oh that. Guys tone is better with the guitar with all the fancy inlays or the vintage guitar, where if they hadn’t been able to see what guitar the person was playing, I know their opinion would have been different. I do think it’s interesting, especially with music, that looks play any part at all, but I guess that’s just a product of modern culture. Anyway, love your videos, even if I can’t see what guitar you’re playing, they all sound fantastic. I definitely didn’t get all of the shoot out guitars right, but I did pick the SG, and that one actually sounded the coolest to me. Keep rocking brother, thank you for everything you do!

I use the phrase on occasion if I can slip it in without having to get into a debate. I say yes, you can get good tone out of a light portable amp for sure. But the "tone" is still heavy and hard to carry in that you need to know how to get that sound and pull it out of the guitar and amp at hand. It takes work....lots of work to get there, and work to make it happen.
