Comment on “Plush” – Stone Temple Pilots – Fingerstyle Guitar by 500 YouTube Subs: What I've Learned Growing a Guitar Channel

[…] The same rules apply to YouTube as they do when playing live. If you want people to listen to your original music, you need to get their attention with a solid cover song. My best performing videos are covers and the compromise is that I make it my own. How? Many of my covers are of 80’s/90’s rock/metal songs but I do them on the acoustic. One example is my arrangement of Stone Temple Pilots’ “Plush”. […]

Dearest Larry,

You will not believe this. I came here to tell you that I dedicated my new post to you. It’s here: http://nakedineden.com/nakedinedenblog/have-you-become-your-dream/

You will see why when you look at it. But due to work on getting ready to launch my book (it’s in the stores and on Amazon.com in Sept 1), I’ve hardly had any time to blog. But I was wondering about you the other day, and how you are doing. And you inspired my new post.

Anyway, I came here to tell you that and of course started reading your blog, and was read this post, and it brought tears to my eyes. It is sooooooooooooo beauuuuuutiful, Larry!!! It made my heart soar. I am reading it at time that I REALLY need it. It is something I was just talking to my sweetheart about his very morning. And then I come to blog and read such sweet truth.

It is one of the best posts I’ve read. So passionate and alive and raw and real. YES!!! Good for you!! And thank you from my heart, because it/you reflect back to me something I believe in so strongly, and I have few beliefs.

This post speaks of FREEDOM, possibility, hope, trust, and so so much more, my dear friend. It is some seriously powerful writing.

I am grateful for your friendship.
Wishing you great joy and happiness, Larry.
Hugs,
Robin

Comment on Getting Back Into Gear by Robin Easton

Dear Larry, So good to see you here!!! So happy to hear what you are doing with lessons. And you are SO right about this; it is great advice for any venture or interest we have. Especially if things are stressful, we are bogged down with work or life or anything. It gives us the focus and impetus and inspiration to be able to do the things we really love…regardless of WHAT life is throwing at us.

I just felt HAPPY reading this. I thought, “YES!!! Good for you Larry!” It sounds like a really smart move. And I am just happy for you and rooting for you…always. I am working on putting together some vocals, songs I composed years ago but want to put in a bit better format and improve the sound track. My problem is finding the time to do it while getting my book ready for publication. BUT one thing I don’t do is give up on it. I just keep doing it when I can in between. So you really inspired me here today. Thank you for that my good friend. Hugs, Robin 🙂

Comment on Larrivee OM-03RE Review by MacNichol Guitars

MacNichol Guitars — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 22:09:56 +0000

Larry,

Excellent review. The -03 series is such a great value for an all-solid wood guitar, and Larrivee’s OM models are great. I had the pleasure of meeting Jean Larrivee at the last NAMM show and we briefly talked about a Brazilian OM.

What do you think of Larrrivee’s neck profile?

Daniel Keebler, editor of Gavin’s Woodpile (a Bruce Cockburn newsletter and then website) since 1994, has just self-published (via Blurb.com) a book of his personal photographs of Bruce Cockburn over the past 15 years. As far as we know, it’s the only book about Bruce in existence.

WOW!!!

That was sooooooooo worth the wait!

I am floored. My god, you are talented and TOTALLY professional. The dexterity and ease of mobility that you have is remarkable. I am sitting here just grinning and seriously blown away.

Now you know what I’m going to say next: “MORE MORE MORE!!!!” Lol! I would love to hear this every time. You asked for requests; do you have any songs that you’ve composed. Any bit of music? Anything that is yours. I would LOVE to hear that also.

But I would just love to hear more. You are extremely talented and so clear and professional. I’m sitting here shaking my head; I just can’t get over what I just saw. And YES! You definitely have to do your own CD. Absolutely!! You MUST. It’s not even an issue of whether to or not. It just a matter of WHEN.

You really rock. I cannot encourage you enough!
I am honored, touched and totally inspired.
Thank you SOOOO much Larry.

Gee, Larry, you are so right on! I hope Dougie & his wife, Jennifer, got to read this blog about the Denver concert. You know how to pick out the nuggets of music and write about them to bring back the lovely memories. Thanks!

Comment on What Is Your Dream Guitar? by John Walker

John Walker — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 18:04:08 +0000

My dream guitar is ever-changing. I am fortunate enough to own guitars by Hamblin, MJ Franks, Bourgeois, Collings, Goodall. They are each unique and I love them all. My current wish is to own a Henderson. Doesn’t need to be Brazilian- East Indian rosewood would be fine. Even so- they are pricey, in the $15-20K range. Brazilians are $25k and up. He shapes his headstocks by hand- the craftsmanship is exquisite. That’s the beauty of the dream- maybe someday.
