Tim, I truly can’t thank you enough for giving me the time for this interview. And also can’t thank you enough for the constant musical inspiration. Constantly mining new things from you.
Hearing that Tim played the guitars on Shinedowns Sound of Madness just blows my mind. I absolutely love that record! So many great songs. Great interview
Met Landau at the Baked Potato Club during NAMM in 2008. He played with The Jazz Ministry that night. After the show, he showed me his whole rig, and explained everything to me. Such a very nice guy!
I'm not a very accomplished guitarist - but Tim has given me the permission to explore what I have to give and share it with others. I believe my limitations do define my sound! Thanks for this vid - I'm a huge Tim fan - and now a new subscriber
Tim seems like his interpersonal skills are much like his guitar playing. Always careful not to over play and a great listener. Happy to jump in when he gets the nod but never battling to be heard over another. Always leaving you wanting more!
Glad The TH-cam Al Gore Ithm pointed me your way. I could listen to Tim go on for hours. I've heard many of these stories but gladly sat through them again!
One thing I've noticed with Tim he talks everyone else up except for himself when he could have a huge ego .Not just an exceptional guitarist but an exceptional human being as well
I can't tell you how many tracks I've heard across the decades thinking "Wow, that was great, who was that?"...and the answer was extremely often "Ah, Tim Pierce again, of course!"
@@sessionsolos Yeah, I was a 'liner notes' reading guy like you, so started mentally stacking those names at the time they were playing, but I think it's just the way of the world that the man in the street largely knows what they like but not necessarily who did it, so all these guys, from Tim to Luke, Huff, Landau, McCurry, are actually critically applauded but just under-famous. And even as someone who followed it at the time, when Discogs landed it was still a surprise to see just how much stuff these guys had done, scrolling through with a "No!" and an "I can't believe it!" hehe. When I look at the list of my favourite albums it's like a playlist of these guys. I think what's interesting is that where we had to wait around to hear something turn up on the radio rotation to hear it again (I'm a mid 1960's kid) modern audiences have Spotify and discogs, and they like what they like and are happy to say so. I wouldn't be surprised if these guys are better known in 10 years than they are now. :) Long may they all continue! Loving your channel BTW, quite the flashback evening, plus I like you're interview style, it's nice man, like chat down the pub, but clearly not that at all, well thought through, structured and knowledgeable. I'm subs'd!
We all know Tim's amazing guitar skills, but interviews like this help show his other big session skills: being professional, respectful, and good company.
John, thank you so much for putting me on your show. It's an honor!... And you are so good at what you do! Let's do it again as soon as possible :)

thanks for the tip on Andrew Synowiec! Love the "Already Taken" track and always nice to discover a new player!
Tim, you are always such a class act.
Tim, please include all the pictures you can in videos, or make greatest hits video of session moments pictures! It would be off the charts!

Tim has such a gift inspiring so many through music. Love your comment. ❤️🎸
Tim is a treasure - a session master - and a nice human. It doesn't get any better.
Agree 1000%!!
Even if you know nothing about guitar playing or music you will recognise that Tim Pierce is a top flight human being.

Stated perfectly 👍🏾
Tim is top notch. Passionate, talented, and generous.
AMAZING INTERVIEW!!!!!! TIM ROCKS!!!!
Talk about going down rabbit holes! Or maybe like tree roots. One story leads to another! It’s endless! Thanks for this. Tim is a treasure!
Toy Matinee! Yes!!!!!
Love hearing their back stories
Fantastic interview. I love a lot of Tim’s work. I look forward to the second interview.
Wonderful interview!! Love Tim.
Tim is an amazing guitarist but also a really nice guy.
Agree 100% on both!!
Excellent interview brother - enjoying all of these thoroughly! Well done sir!

I just love Tim
He’s absolutely amazing
Great interview

Yes!! I know Tim is well known but man, I don’t think he gets even close to enough credit for his incredible career (that continues on rocking!)

One of the negatives about the digital age is often trying to find who played on what especially with newer tracks.
❤❤❤
I remember playing John Waite covers and just diggin the guitar parts! Now we know
Tim and Kenny A. became the new wrecking crew.
We all know Tim's amazing guitar skills, but interviews like this help show his other big session skills: being professional, respectful, and good company.
He’s such a joy to talk to and be around.
can you do a interview with George Doering?
Tim, did you work on the song Second Chance? I'd like to know and will tell you why after responding
Great interview.. could do with 90% less butt lickin'... Super off putting and uncomfortable
😆
Wow your best interview to date imo John! I love the chemistry between you two, amazing collab! Can't wait for part 2!!!
Means so much, thank you 🤘
