I'm a piano player (everything you said is true!), and the best part for me was at 14:23, it was the most "piano" thing I heard exactly like I would do in my right hand...for quick/easy thinking in the key of G (like a G blues) it's really a walk down of the 5 (d) minor scale in sixths. In low note,high note format: D,Bb | C,A | Bb,G | A,F | G,E | F,D | E,C. You could also think of it as F major then C major, and you can see how it really highlights the flat 3 (Bb) and flat 7 (F) of G for that smooth bluesy vibe. It would be really cool to know how Uncle Larry thinks of it!

Thanks so much for these man! I've been talking with people about this for years waiting for you to do something like this. It's not just about the playing, it's the experience, what you have learned after years of playing on thousands of tunes at the highest level, the totality of music as whole and how to play for the song and not for the glory. Its what every musician needs to hear. So much more than just guitar. Pure inspiration! Thanks again, speaking for myself and thousands of others I imagine, I hope you keep going with this these life lessons for guitar, they are really great!!

"Sometimes playing nothing is what the song needs." -- I'm reminded of one of my first sessions as a trumpet player trying to get a handle on jazz. I could read fine and was familiar with the standards we were playing, but I was nervous and my playing was really busy. During break, the guitarist came over to me and said, "Hey, man. You sound really good. Maybe try a bit more space." Decades later, it still remains an important message. The notes you don't play are just as important as the ones you do.

Tricks and tools of the trade. Pleasing strangers; how a meter, tempo,harmony and timing/the relationship of chords, melodies and how they lay upon and inform the other- what emotion these artists are trying to hook you with. Do you have worry about overtaking the tune….or do some artists want you to hook them? I especially love a great song where the lyrics are a juxtaposition from what the music is conveying and it’s a master deception. “Pianists are the quarterbacks of music” quote of the day. This may have been your most insightful video. I love this.

You’re so right man. Piano players have such a vast grasp of arrangement and harmony and color, that’s why they’re usually the musical director in a group or the leader on a session date. And yet they don’t have the palette of touch expression and individuality that a guitar player has with their vibrato, bends and articulation. I think we all picked the right instrument guys and gals! Btw I love organ lines, I used to listen to and plunder guys like Jimmy Smith liberally.

You're there to interpret someone else's vision and you have to get inside their head. Nothing like doing music for a political ad campaign and having a musically clueless campaign manager and media consultant try to give you musical direction. Tom is truth telling here. I still have those old Session Man MySpace posts archived somewhere. Priceless!
