Two thoughts: (1.) As someone who use to hang out in the local music shop as a young teenager in the 80s, this channel “hits the spot”. It’s like listening to the best musician in town sharing that wisdom. (When knowledge was closer to “magic” than it was “0s and 1s” on the information superhighway.) And (2.) I recently heard you playing some Motels on a video. If you haven’t, you should look up one of their recent live performances on youtube. 70-something Martha Davis still sounds AWESOME, up there rocking a guitar while looking like someone’s cool grandma!
greetings, uncle larry!
may i inquire what is your favourite fender amp and why?
i also want to extend to you my sincerest gratitude for all the hundreds of hours of entertainment, musical education and philosophical musings you have provided us with, they enrich my life and inspire me to play and listen to music.
all the best, lauri from finland.
Hi Tom, I enjoy your restring a maintenance videos. There’s always helpful tips from you. How did you arrive upon 10’s for electric and 13’s over 12’s for acoustic guitars of recent – surely you’ve had a journey of many gauges?
I’ve found acoustics are tone before comfort – electrics seems to have potential for comfort before tone as you can shape slightly, but would you agree?
Thanks for the wisdom.
Hey Larry. The Jim Irsay collection is going to auction. In your time hanging with him, did you ever get a chance to play any of those iconic guitars? Gilmour’s Black Strat, “The Fool” SG? etc. What are your thoughts?
Always like gordon mote very interesting fellow love the hammond B3 recent video.Thanks for all you share. By the way I know someone who has a portable hammond B3 .Don’t see them much . It is for sale.
Hey Tom: If you were in a cover band playing in your typical bar, what would your first two sets look like?
Hey, Tom.
Did you launch the Senn Strat now that you have a few vintage ones in the rotation?
Hey, Larry! Fellow Ohioan here. North Columbus bred, born and raised by way of a long line of Appalachian White Trash. I just watched the video from a few days ago talking about your drive down the Natchez Trace to Muscle Shoals. Brought back great memories of a motorcycle trip I took in the fall of 2014. I just disappeared for two weeks on the bike as I rode to Nashville, picked up the Trace, and spent a few days riding all 444 miles stopping to see the sights. I fueled up in little towns, had my meals at the counters of Mom and Pop diners, kicked around Tupelo (love that town) and Jackson Mississippi. Once I hit Natchez I headed north on Hwy 61 and wound up in Clarksdale, MS. Quite the trip for music obsessed guitar hack from the Buckeye state. Two weeks and 2000 miles later I arrived back home with a load of stories, a bunch of new friends and great memories. Thanks for helping bring them back to mind and making me smile.
Hi Tom, thanks so much for all the cool videos! We actually met some years ago at 2nd gear. I bought a newer R7 Goldtop from you.
I’m starting to poke around for my first vintage guitar. Something from Gibson, most likely pre 65 with the wider nut if I can. I know you sell some pretty awesome stuff from time to time. Is there a mailing list or anything I can get on to make sure I don’t miss that stuff when it comes up?
Thanks again man.
Hi Tom,
I have a question about a double neck Gibson that a seller on Reverb has for sale and says he has it on “good authority” that you once owned this guitar. CS100123 is the serial number. It has DEMO stamped into the 6 string headstock. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. If there is any documentation you may have kept for it over the years, if this was indeed yours, would you be willing to send? Take care and have a great Christmas and New Year.
Hey Tom…I am driving to Nashville from just north of Dallas (Wichita Falls) on Dec 27…could possibly bring something to ya….(I am on Facebook, Spotify, etc..if you want to check me out first..I would…lol)
Thanks,
Casey Pilgreen
Hey Tom! I just watched your easy eye vid. I’m driving to Dallas to visit family for Christmas and driving back up early Jan. Give me a shout if it’s any help at all to bring back something. hah, love the vids man!
