Buk is the best guitarist I’ve ever listened to. The more you dig into his vast knowledge the more you realize how little that you really know. I will buy any course that has Uncle Larry .

​@@sjdanthem,, yeah man, getting a looper will help you a lot... And if you haven't. Learn the CAGED system, and the associated pentatonic scales that go with each "Caged shape".. it will allow you to do what he's doing... And then once you do that, learn the 7th chords and then the suspended chords. And you'll be able to do what he's doing.

We are so privileged to see and hear this folks, lovely people, unique guitar player and thanks Brett for getting Tom to do the lesson and thanks Tom for taking it on man.

It is just unreal the ease with which Tom puts together such amazingly beautiful sounding progressions. Phenomenal touch and feel.

I only discovered Uncle Larry in the last year or so and he never fails to impress the hell out of me. His creativity is off the charts! He effortlessly throws out chordal melodies the way most people just speak a sentence. I can only imagine that he has had a guitar in his hands, 20 hours a day, for the last 40 years. Watching and listening to him deconstruct his ideas is like watching someone explain "this is how you build a rainbow". Thank you Tom, and thank you Brett for sharing this.❤

He’s the most inspirational, stylish guitarist I’ve heard in years. He seemingly never overplays, either.

Brett Papa - you are the *best* at pulling the most out of our guitar heroes so we commoners can learn from them.

I also want to highlight the great "On My Sleeve" lessons that you produced with Mark Lettieri - recommended to anyone. It's so tasty, advanced in some ways but accessible. Mark's a great teacher, and you producing no doubt had a lot to do with that. Working through only a fraction of it made *everything else* in my playing easier and better - and who doesn't want to emulate Mark!? Thank you!!
