Idk what it is, but every time I turn on your videos I feel better. It been a way fucked up few weeks, and a few more to come. I spend every waking hour at my dad's bedside just seeing him wither away. I'm scared as hell, I feel alone, I feel helpless and like a part of me is dying every day. I play for his as often as possible. I've never cried as much as I have these past weeks. These videos for some reason are keeping me from going insane I think. I honestly don't know what to do, my dad is all I have left. We watch together and he smiles and says "that son of a bitch can play his ass off". Yes he can Pop. I just want to see him smile. I'm definitely not ready for what's to come. But thank you Tom, for putting a smile on my dad's face. That means everything to me. 😢

Tim Pierce on his live stream Friday said the most gifted session men at creating guitar parts quickly that fit the song perfectly are you and Steve Lukather . Tim said watching you two work is both inspiring and humbling. Says a lot about you and a lot about Tim Pierce!

I’m a teacher and I opened Friday’s virtual class with a “HELLO CLASS” ...didn’t even mean to, it just came out of me like second nature.

The pizza stain on the Senn is now available from the Fender Custom shop and called the "Uncle Larry" style relic'ing effect.

A Homeskoolin lesson is THE best way to start the weekend. Cheers Tommy

[RJRonquillo]

I guess i'm buying a vintage archtop now.

There is literally nobody else on YouTube who inspires me to grab my guitar faster than this guy. Yet another killer video intro, absolutely FEARLESS. Everything a great guitarist should be.

[nicolasturover]

In the wealth of musicianship i've learned from you, I gotta say this pick disappearing between fingers and coming back in action is great one, ultimate tones !

[reiddillashaw]

Well that's the best 13 minutes and 25 seconds I've spent on YT this week. Much appreciated, Tom! Have fun in Muscle Shoals!
(FWIW, there's a great documentary about Muscle Shoals, on amazon prime. An amazing history of music recording down there. Muscle Shoals is along the Tennessee River, and it's believed by many to be such a perfect place to record, because the Tennessee River sings - according to Native Americans from the area.)

Oh the tonal voicings you are able to coax out of your gear. It’s been an amazing year with you. Good times.

Luther Dickinson gave you a great heap of praise resently on a podcast
You two would make and INCREDIBLE duo

[danielgantt]

What the hell just jam took me cruising down some back roads in a convertible Lincoln. Incredible....thank you Sir.

[riverman]

Watching you play Tom is incredibly humbling....you're like one of those painters that splashes paint on a blank canvass and when it's all said and done you've painted a perfect portrait of something or someone....gives me a lot of joy

[ralphstanley]

Uncle Larry glad you made it back son awesome lesson

[ParaDiddleDesign]

I’m a drummer and I watch this channel regularly. My guitarist friends are incredibly grateful and appreciative when I share links to your videos.

[TheRycooder]

Uncle Larry is kickin some SERIOUS ASS this IT. <3

[MrPrincebass]

TB, your playing is so special and unique. It carries me to wonderful places.

[garyj]

You've got "the sound", and you've got it in so many different ways. Thank you for the inspiration!

I know that when I put some old Uncle Larry stuff to steal something then Uncle Larry himself drops another one in that exactly moment. Too Hot 🔥! By the way thank you to introduce the Britt bros to me few lessons ago. Awesome knowledge. Now I'm gonna check it this 95!!!
