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:

another is an instrumental collaboration with his dear friend Dean Deleo (originally from the Stone Temple Pilots organization) that is available here:

Wow Uncle Larry, someone spent a lot of time putting your web site together. Very cool. Have a great weekend. Much respect...

[mikedesantis]

Thank you for this; you have no idea how much I learned from your answer to "what's your favorite chord change?"

[davidpepper]

This kid Diego definitely has the touch! Fantastic playing

[Seneca]

He even threw in the Buk head shake, proof that you change lives my friend.

[joshellyson]

Love these grown up chords, perfect for coffee time. And that kid has the kind of passion married with skill that will serve him well.

[aladickes]

Diego, there's a kid who gets it. I feel so much better about the future of rock guitar.

[stringlocker]

In their Hay Day Sly and the Family Stone kicked ass.

[scottshand]

Thanks for sharing the link to Diego's playing, his joy in playing is awesome!

[koho]

Diego! Having attempted this tune (Cardboard Cutouts in the Shade) during COVID, I can attest to how great this rendition is. Beautiful bends, lots of nice added touches. And maybe a new standard in guitar faces! The one of pure bliss at the end is priceless.

[a.m.phaneuf]

Like your chords there, like that mood they give.
That kid has surely got some chops, thnx for that.

[carloto]

Is that a Tacoma Chief! A dear friend of mine owns one, beautiful soft haunting sound

[WayneMemphisMojo]

Awesome as always and thanks for "The Kid" link as well as the link to your website, I'm already on the newsletter list too!

[megawattblue]

Thanks Tom, love that chord change, and Diego is great!

[budrizzo]

Man Larry you always come up with the hippest changes. Thank you for sharing.

[climbtibet]

Really great stuff; and thanks for all the big shares !!! Making a positive difference in the music world 🌎

Em to C and all the variants. Marshall Tucker (George McCorkle) Fire on the Mountain. Just a great jam.

Over the last 3 plus years Uncle Larry has helped me change my whole way of picking. I used to be really self-conscious about not sounding like Tony Rice, Bryan Sutton, Kenny Smith, etc (no one can). Tom can obviously play any solo exactly like the record but when he is just playing his heart there is no predictability where he is going. That's the place I want to be.

Since adopting the philosophy of playing what's in my head rather than copying something, I have a lot more fun and a lot more folks saying that they really liked what I was doing. Basically, because it didn't sound like everything else, they've been hearing. Music is supposed to be fun! Play your heart and let 'er rip.

[stratomess]

your fav change, reminds me of the old Firefall tune Just Remember I Love You

[leewarren]

Your newer favourite is a bit reminiscent of the opening chords to Space Oddity.
Lovely sequence, my friend.

[ProjektorMusicLabel]

no...yu are awesome...what if this is the best guitar lesson ever? It´s simple and true and very individual. Greetings from the slovenian border.

[vaughnmaurt]
