Maximum Larry: A Series of MasterClasses

Tom Bukovac, or Uncle Larry as he is affectionately known is arguably one of the greatest guitarists alive today.

As the top session guitarist in Nashville for the past 20 years he has played on countless hits for some of the biggest names in the music business. He is much more than just a session man though. In all of my years of creating courses I have never worked with a more versatile guitarist. Whether it’s Classic Rock, Blues, Country, R&B, or Americana music effortlessly flows out of him like he’s been playing those styles his entire life. A true master at his craft.

Up until 5 years ago though hardly anyone outside of Nashville and the session community knew who he was. It wasn’t until he created the Homeskoolin’ YouTube channel that he became a household name in the guitar and musical community. That is when everyone realized there was a new guy in town and that what they were seeing was truly something special.

After I was in town about 4 years I finally got to connect with Tom while he and Guthrie Trapp were recording their incredible album In Stereo. That is when he agreed to come in my studio and let me interview him about his playing style for the first time. This is when it was solidified in my mind that I had to make a course with Tom. I had to document this once in a generation guitarist and everything that makes up his incredible and unique guitar style. 2 years later Maximum Larry A Series Of Masterclasses With Tom Bukovac was born. An 8 plus hour inspiration packed series of masterclasses on various musical styles that is going to blow your mind and take your playing to places you never thought possible. In fact, as Tom himself says in the trailer, this isn't just a course you'll blaze through in a couple of days; it's truly a lifetime course, designed to continually improve your guitar playing for years to come.

To make this ongoing learning as accessible as possible, we've intentionally structured it in a masterclass style. This means you can easily jump to the specific masterclass that best suits where you're at and what you want to learn right now. You won't feel like you're leaving a section halfway through—you can simply dive into any one of the masterclass sections and immediately start improving your guitar playing.

Keep in mind everything you are about to see was filmed in the moment with no preplanning. This is what flowed out of Tom on the spot including the performances. 1 to 2 takes max for everything. True masterful improvising in every sense of the word.

The best part about this course is Tom is also a truly gifted teacher. He can dive deeper into any aspect of guitar than anyone I have ever worked with and definitely comes up with some of the coolest guitar parts you will ever see in a guitar course.

Our idea wasn’t to create a cool licks course it was to create an encyclopedia of ideas that guitarists could use to draw inspiration from for years to come. Whether you want to create music of your own or just want to add some fresh ideas to tired old chord progressions there are literally hundreds of top notch playing ideas for you to work with.
