I think that you don't realize how humble you are. Of course Andy will remember you. He wouldn't remember someone like me because I'm just a mere mortal in the the guitar world. You are an innovator and instructor and an influence and a bloody amazing guitarist not just a bloody amazing musician, so yeah, I think that Andy, Frank and anyone else you meet will remember you. Also you are a bloody nice chap too, you seem genuine and humble and nice and you definitely love music and that shows, so I think you don't really give yourself enough credit because you really are amazing.. Peace Brother Alex Peace 🎸🎶🎸🎶🎸🎶🎸✨✌
Thank you man, I think as time goes on I'm becoming more aware of my humbleness and it's not always a good thing i think, for the reasons you mentioned. Unfortunately I think an unassuming nature can be misunderstood or come across rude sometimes but really in my heart I always mean well..... It's something I think I need to work on..... But as always man thank you ever so much for watching and wonderful comments.... All the very best 👍🎸🙏
the differents between andy and other guitarists is the more i listen to andy, the more i excited to pick up the guitar.. and andy's music is not about the genre or music theory, it's just simply an Art.. even if you a metal guy, jazz player, or a rapper, you could still enjoy his music and have no critics at all 😌
I always say on multiple pages...The best tone in guitar industry....the best!¨so many great songs from Andy!!....Cry for you, for me is one of the most emotional guitar instrumental ever written on guitar!
You are so right (btw. your playing is absolutely amazing)! Where Satriani sounds a bit "spacy", Lukather a bit much compressed, Eric Johnson a bit violin-thin, Andy Timmon's tone is so close to the natural, dynamic, juicy and emotional expression of a singer imo.
Yeah, Andy is an absolute monster player and one of the nicest people in the "guitar shredder scene". Speaking of Reb Beach, another underrated guitarist & very chill guy who deserves his own video.
Glad you think so too... Yeah man I love me a bit of red beach and winger I'd love to do an episode about him sometime . Thanks for watching and all the best 👍🎸🙏
Thank you mate, when this series finishes I've got a cool idea for a dedicated track with all 4 Waghorns.... Hopefully sometime next month... Thanks for watching, 👍
I stood literally 2/3ft away from him back in 2015, when he played Band on The Wall in Manchester, it was probably the most amazing guitar performance I have ever seen or felt! Amazing, you did him justice on this one! Amazing mate!
Thank you mate.... Yeah I'll miss it too but if there is great enough demand I'll think about a series 2 in the future... I'm so pleased you're all enjoying it though... It's quite the journey.... for me too.. 🤣 All the best Tom.
_stunning playing/ I love 'Electric Gybsy'. He playes on my spot*fy list of epic guitarists in neighborhood of Robben Ford/Carlos Santana/ Paul Gilbert/ Joe Satriani/ John Petrucci/....ah & great Mahavishnu John McLaughlin(one of your next experience???). Thnx for sharing the dynamic part!! 'experiment playing soft' is a great choice_
Hello Dom, thanks for watching. Yeah Electric Gypsy is an amazing track for sure..... Some other great names in your list there mate.... All the best to you 👍🙏🎸
I really love the way you share your deep feelings about those masters that inspired us all, with such honesty and humility. And your playing between each speech is just so awesome. You were inspiring as a guitar player: I discover you also are a great source of inspiration as a human being 😊👍🏻
That's quite enough of that mate, you're gonna make me cry again.😭😢.. hahaha 😂 in a good way... Honestly mate, thank you so much. I guess I am a pretty emotional person, reading this message really touched me too... It says something about your character also to express such a wonderful message to me... Thank you mate it really means a lot 👍🎸🙏
I love Andy Timmons! Who doesn't? But man...you yourself are a guitar God! I'd love to see other guitar Gods make this kind of video as well and Ep 1 should be Alex Hutchings. ❤️❤️🙌🏿🙌🏿
Thank you mate, that's awesome.... Thanks for watching, when this series is done I'm looking forward to focusing on my own music.... More to come soon. ;-)
Interestingly enough I had an emotional moment like you are describing watching YOU play Misty in a YT video years ago. I think it was shot live in Asia, you were playing a Yamaha Pacifica. Memorable.
Dear Alex, just in case you didn’t know (because you are such a humble person), the effect Andy Timmons left on you with his playing is the same effect you left on all of us following your channel ! ⚜️X🤘🏻X⚜️

I'm using a clean Tweed-like amp, putting a compressor in front of the whole chain to boost it and then using a mesa boogie drive pedal emulator. I love using clean channels/amps just because it allows you to play with dynamic and experience lot of different tones just with the volume/tone knobs as well as the pickups.
Yes mate I agree with you. So expressive. It sounds like you are quite a dynamic player yourself, really cool. Thanks for the kind words and for watching. 👍🎸🙏
Hi Alex, thanks for another very insightful video We left last week with the pick holding position, trigger "vs" pen I spent last week going through those two, and basically moving from radial/ulnar movement (paint up-down)of pen hold to prono-supination (turn door knob) of trigger position Didn't remember how smooth the trigger position is, although it loses the aggression of "pen" position On that note, I ventured into "reverse pen" (turn the pick 90° clockwise from the pen position if you keep it an angle like Paul Gilbert") and it does wonderson downpicking Many times we got swamped in positions, but every position has it place, and most of all involves different muscles of hand/forearm, which is good, because those muscle will strengthen in new ways of playing and help on the old ones we use
Lovely vid mate and dynamics is the king! It’s the magic ingredient that all our fave players have mastered. Did I lend you my copy of Ear Xtacy? I seem to remember worshiping at the alter of Timmons back then. Then again his playing was blowing me away when he was with Danger Danger...shame they were a little bit poo hahaha!! I still think one of the chewiest recorded guitar sounds was Nuno’s on Three sides...it’s like rubber hahaha!! Now there’s a player 😀
AW mate, yes it was you responsible for giving me a copy of Ear X tacy... I didn't know if you'd want me to say your name on the video, but yes I have you to thank for a lot of my guitar education 100%.... Timmons especially.... Oh the good old Heron days eh? Those jams upstairs etc... great times...Yeah there's a great concert of Danger Danger I used to watch back in the day, maybe Live in Japan... great playing for sure. I'll tell you what man, III sides is one of my all time fav albums.... Sooooo good on many levels... Hope to catch up with you and the gang soon mate.x 👍🎸🙏
...I guess, you meanwhile get my point, that you're simply brilliant. So I just want to tell you, that you are absolutely right again! Since I got my new, VERY great guitar, my playing changed a lot automatically! From just shredding scales and arpeggios to actual MUSIC and EXPRESSION in every note. Which is really the true fun on the one hand and the true ground breaker technically on the other hand. I always play melodies (WITH the brain involved!) to warm up and pretty often come up with new ideas. Just by warming up. And the practice session goes on like that. And even when the "shred part" of the practice kicks in, it's like i've made a 2-hour-session for that before. It's the real key to mastery, I guess. The bad thing is: I needed 22 years of passionate playing for this revelation... :D Better late, than never, hm? ;) Cheers!
Hey mate, thanks again for the kind words.... I'm glad you agree with my point regarding making music and expression glad you're enjoying the videos. All the best Markus. 👍🎸🙏
Hey Alex, what's the name of the song at 3:52? Thank you for this video. Andy's tone and playing is so soothing to the ears. Could never get bored hearing him out 😁 At the same time, your tone is so unique and playing is versatile. Thank you for the music you create. Stay blessed 🙏🏽
Excellent call on Mr. Timmons. Most folks take the easy way out and cite Eric Johnson. I suggest Blues Saraceno, Johnny A ., and Marc Bonilla are worthy of tone god consideration, too.
Hey Alex, thanks for watching. I've definitely been a big fan of Blues Saraceno, so could consider that for sure, I'm afraid I'm not so familiar with the other guys so will have to check them out. All the best 👍
Awesome playing, and those licks you played at aound 12:20 were ridiculous. Reminded me of Richie Kotzen. Any chance of a Kotzen lesson in the future? There’s so few good videos demonstrating his style it’s almost criminal!
Thank you mate.... glad you enjoyed them..... I've already decided the last two guitarists for this series but if I can generate enough interest I more than happily extend it to do a second series in the future..... And I'm sure Kotzen would be in there, he's a total badass.. Love his stuff....
Man Andy was the reason I started playing! And to this day he is still the guy I compare everything to- for me he's the greatest example of 10/10 tone, technique, feel and taste. Thank you so much for this great series!
Hello mate, thats awesome... Yeah man, he's a true true great in my opinion. I was going to call it, Andy Timmons he has it all, TONE FEEL and CHOPS So I think we're on the same page there. 👍 THanks for watching 👍🎸🙏
Are they his lines you are playing? They are incredibly tasty.. Great phrases, it took me decades to realise its all about phrasing, tone and holding back, using dynamics, being musical basically..
Hello mate, Actually I'm improvising here on this video and just thinking about the essence of Andy's playing. But yes it is all about phrasing. 👍 I'm glad you enjoyed the video, all the very best 👍🎸🙏
haha I teared up before listening to some of Andy's pieces. fun convo to have with the wife as to why you're in that state at 2 am. ...so I just said I was on drugs. less explaining that way :)
Hi Alex. Andy Timmons has repeatedly thrilled you to the point of making you cry. That's exactly what you do with me. When I listen to you sometimes I find myself crying for the emotions you transmit to me. However I agree with you: Andy Timmons is really great. Thanks for the video. All the best
Cheers Mike, Glad you enjoyed it. It's an IronHeart amp by Laney. Rather than Mic'ing it up, for convenience I go into a WAZA tube amp expander into an Avalon 737 into my sound card... Hope that helps... All the best
My wife gave me a ticket to the iriridium as a present back in 2015. I just had recently arrived to the states. I met with him after the show I told him I dreamt with knowing him and I was a fan since 2005 and that he was the inspiration for me playing the electric. He gave me his pick. I have it framed with a picture with him in my house. My little girl some time ask me who is that man on the family photos.
Thanks so much, I'll see what I can do, there's only 2 episodes left in this series.... I'm considering making a 2nd Series in the Future anyway... Either way thanks for watching and all the best 👍
Another wonderful video Alex :) Totally agree Andy is a total package, tone, feel, ridiculous phrasing and he seems like just the coolest guy, a total gentleman. I think Ascension is my favourite track buts its very hard to pick just one and you're right music is amazing that it can move you that way, the emotional reaction is powerful.
Alex. How's the finger? Andy Timmons is my favourite electric guitarist. Every note he plays is concidered and has meaning.... Kind regards Keep well ...George
Hey George, fingers has healed well thank you.... still some numbness but I can play through it fortunately. Yeah Man, Timmons is brilliant, such a dynamic player... Thanks for watching 👍
@@AlexHutchingsMusic I'm glad your finger is on the mend.. Treat it with respect my friend, give it time.. I've been there with a finger injury.. Slow progress is the name of the game.. Take care George
Greg is an absolute beast, have you ever seen the video of us jamming together? th-cam.com/video/XtxDkvqfQQY/w-d-xo.html I have so many heroes I'm hoping to make 1000 episodes of this series 🤣😂 Thanks fro watching
I'm shocked but very happy, because I guessed Andy Timmons would be in your Guitar Gods series and yet I never really thought you'd include him... needless to say... I agree with everything you've expressed here. Andy is simply marvelous, incredible, amazing, fabulous... kinda like you, my friend. :-) Sorry for that, I know you're humble and probably struggle with the constant compliments... Andy Timmons definitely has a quite similar humility to his personality, its very special to find, I wish more humans had it but that only makes us appreciate those who do have it even more. In terms of music, humility is kinda sorta like "leaving space between the notes", not constantly just shredding a million miles an hour even tho you can certainly do so... I ordered a DVD from Andy and when it arrived, it also included a signed photo of him on stage, signed in sharpie complete with my real name proving he took the time out of his day to thank me for my purchase... as I say, a special human being from all appearances that I've seen. Thanks for sharing, you have made some TERRIFIC influence choices!!
Thank you so much mate, you're right, sometimes it can be difficult to receive compliments but I'm learning how important it is in developing as a person and a musician.... Since doing this series and interacting with you guys a little more it's something I've really considered in depth. Perhaps theres too much to go into here but may it could be a topic to approach in the future. I'm considering another series where we talk about these topics not just music, because regardless of ability or skill level as you quite rightly say, perhaps this is more a topic of humility, which we can all relate to. Either way thank you again for taking the time to express yourself in your wonderful comment and have a fantastic weekend. 👍🎸🙏
Andy Timmons almost has a certain shy quality to him (he hides behind his longer bangs haha), not sure if he ever struggled with it in his career ("stage fright") but I know my own shyness and painful self consciousness always held me back, it literally meant I could only play in the privacy of my bedroom, otherwise with people listening and watching me I became a total klutz who just couldn't perform at all. Thankfully I never seriously considered music performance as a career, it was always just an enjoyable hobby. I think a making a video on topics like this not directly related to music itself would still be very valuable to hear. I bet a lot of performers struggle with the humilty and fan adoration and stuff like that.
That clean, bright scratch from the out of phase pickups I call "cutting glass," and man, you can cut some serious glass. If you got that tone from Andy, I'll have to check him out.
Hey Trent, thanks so much man..... and boy you're in for a treat when you check out Andy's stuff....... You're gonna love it.... All the very best mate and thanks for watching 👍🎸🙏
Please share more about Frank Gambale style shred and sweep. Andy Timmons and all other alternate picking players style are so avaible . And alternat picking is easy to understand. Frank Gambale style is still a secret. Show us more please.
Hi there did you see my Frank Gambale episode? I shared a couple of cool licks in that video. Maybe in the future I could do some more if more people request it. Thanks very much for watching and all the best. 👍🎸🙏
@@AlexHutchingsMusic Hi Alex , firstly thank you so much for your answer. You are so generous. And i saw your Frank Gambale video and all you explained. But still i ( we ) need learn more about his style . We can find a lot of lessons about alternate picking , legato or some classical sweep ideas on youtube easily. But style of Gambale is still secret and so hard to make copy his style . Your sweep picking style is so similar with his too. And i mean please share more Gambale/Hutchings style exceptional sweep picking licks and walkings. Thanks for your kind . Best wishes master .
Hey Alex!! Woow! I was waiting for this episode!! Thanks sooo much for making it happen wow! What a great suprise to start the weekend! Thanks so much Alex!!!! PS: Andy is really remembering all the fans he met throughout the years I'll promise you! :) He's such a great heart ! PS2: Yeeah that Section at the 90th Ibanez where Paul Gilbert yells "Andy!" and heee kills it with that solo of the tune soo unbelievable haha ! Have you ever tried the DiMarzio Cruiser Pickups that Andy uses? Nice intro of "Groove or Die" at 12:42 :D
Hey Dennis, I'm so pleased you enjoyed this episode, I enjoyed putting it together. I also feel Andy is a wonderful guy and hope he does remember me next time we meet.... I've not tried those pick ups but I'll have to check them out... Especially as I am a DiMarzio endorser... 🤣 Thank for watching... 🎸🙏
Awesome Alex.....your playing truly is unreal..... I didnt realise how much you loved Andy Timmons...... Hes awesome too,love his playing.......ps i did a cover on my youtube Channel of "Groove or Die" using my Waghorn AH6 if you ever get chance to have a listen... Amazing stuff as always Alex.....im sure your not of this Earth tho lol ....looking forward to next weeks :)
Hello Alex, i love your videos ! Could you may do a sweep picking lesson ? I am trying since a few month but still struggle... Do you have a advices or tricks for better sweep picking for beginners ? Thanks & Greetings from Germany !
You have very good taste^^ I m sure there will be a vid about Scott Henderson or Allan Hollsworth in the future,aren't it?! Seriously,your channel which alternate vids with your own style and others with your favourite musicians is a good concept thanks again for your great work Jordão
Oh yeah man, I know what you mean... I felt the same.... In recent years though it seem Vai has completely acknowledged Andy's greatness and embraced it.... It's a pretty close knit community I guess too... Thanks for watching. All the very best
@@AlexHutchingsMusic True indeed, you and me are inspired by Andy and others but trust me your monster guitar player man! Your my idol including Shawn Lane, Rusty Cooley, Joe Satraini, John Petrucci.
Hello mate. No worries it's available here. jtcguitar.com/store/package/custom-fusion-series-1 The name is different but in fact it's exactly the same performance... ;-) 👍 Here it's called Summer of love.... Thanks for watching 🙏
Yes. Best tone in the business. One of the few with real dynamics. I also appreciate his polyphonic approach to the electric guitar... A seamless mix of rhythm and lead lines. Alex, great description of his usage of the volume pot. I would also mention that he's using a treble bleed to keep his tone at very low volume.
Thank you mate, yes I recently discovered about the Volume pot thing too, very cool, I should look into it myself. Thanks for watching and all the best 👍🎸🙏
Nice to hear a Reb Beach shout-out! Winger got tons of smack due to Kip's pretty-boy looks, but Kip and Reb are really underrated and an amazing music-making duo! Andy Timmons is a beast on guitar and a major influence for those who've never delved into his music! Thanks for sharing this lesson and his influence on your playing!
Good morning Alex! You were absolutely marvelous, fantastic, amazing! May I add the lesson was off the hook as always. Andy Timmons is one of the most incredible guitarists out there today! We agree on that for sure! He uses the same formula in his playing! He lets his inner soul sing out his hearts feelings, in which you are the Master of this art! His level of emotional playing is what probably catches mine and your musical eye! Have a great weekend coming up Alex ! By the way , I loved the Jem! If you get a chance checkout my newest "Thunder ⚡️⛈Thursday " and any other new stuff that I've recently played, leave a comment if you have a extra second! Until next week cheers 🍻 Alex! Peace my friend ✌🏻😊🤙🏻🙏🏻
That is very well said, Dana - I agree with your words about Andy Timmons and I agree Alex has similar qualities in his playing, not every guitarist can generate such emotion inside me when I hear their music, its a special quality indeed, a rare quality. We know it when we hear it!!!!
Hi Alex don’t downsize your playing m8 Andy is amazing and His tone is great but you’re a more versatile player. I watched you on the Steve Wilson DVD enough said 👍🎸
You've made great points about AT's playing.. and yes, that moment in the Ibanez 90th Anniversary concert where Andy plays a solo in Paul's tune is crazy ripping 🔥🔥🔥
Hi Andy, yes thankfully I still have some numbness in my left index finger, which is really annoying, but fortunately I can play through it. Thank you for watching 👍🎸🙏
Hi Alex, great tribute to Andy the king of tone ! 🤘👌"Deliver Us" always stuck with me . . . . probably because it was achievable for my standard, mostly anyway 😉. Always striving for that tone, thanks for the tips mate. And in addtion , on behalf of all who comment , thankyou for always taking the time to reply to us all. It is very much appreciated . Maybe the only guitarist youtuber to do so. 👍👍👍
Thank you mate, it's my pleasure.... I'm trying my best to engage whilst I can, I'm really enjoying connecting with y'all, it's cool man.... And thank you for checking out of all the vids.... All the best 👍🎸🙏
Wanna hear a story? Of course you do. Andy Timmons and Shawn Lane played the same night at AIMM many many moons ago. Shawn thought everybody wanted to hear him only shred, so he wouldn't come down from light speed. When Andy went on, he focused on phrasing. The conclusion we came to was, at least on this night, Andy was the better player. We obviously love both tremendously, but we didn't expect what we witnessed.
Glad to see you feature the fantastic Andy Timmons! Such a great & underrated player. So glad I found you on YT. Really enjoying your vids & playing, Alex!
Andy T. is second only to the supreme being Eric Johnson for amazing divine tone. Mind you Alex, your tone is pretty awesome too as is your superb playing.
Andy plays not just from his heart but his very soul. The same can be said about how you play. Your videos just keep getting better Alex, awesome video, keep them coming.
Oooohhh yeah I would've loved too but there's just tooo many good things to say about him... I did love his playing with them though... some great live show footage out there. THanks for watching 👍
Watched this today with my wife at brunch (she allows me this once in a while!) and the first thing we both said was “He seems like such a nice guy! Killer player! A lot like Andy Timmons because of this” Your genuine spirit and humility come through, Alex! Can’t wait to dig into your stuff and of course support your craft and talents too! 👍🎸
Hey Joe, what a lovely message, thank you so so much.....I do hope you'll enjoy some of my other videos... they are quite wide ranging but hope you'll find something of interest... ;-) My very best to you both...👍
I think that you don't realize how humble you are. Of course Andy will remember you. He wouldn't remember someone like me because I'm just a mere mortal in the the guitar world.

PS: I really appreciate you talk about the dynamic in this video. Andy use clean channel quite a lot for his soloing, and then just boosting it up with just few pedals or preamp.
I've been experiencing the same using S-Gear software. I'm using a clean Tweed-like amp, putting a compressor in front of the whole chain to boost it and then using a mesa boogie drive pedal emulator.
I love using clean channels/amps just because it allows you to play with dynamic and experience lot of different tones just with the volume/tone knobs as well as the pickups.
Yes mate I agree with you. So expressive. It sounds like you are quite a dynamic player yourself, really cool. Thanks for the kind words and for watching. 👍🎸🙏
Hi Alex, thanks for another very insightful video
We left last week with the pick holding position, trigger "vs" pen
I spent last week going through those two, and basically moving from radial/ulnar movement (paint up-down)of pen hold to prono-supination (turn door knob) of trigger position
Didn't remember how smooth the trigger position is, although it loses the aggression of "pen" position
On that note, I ventured into "reverse pen" (turn the pick 90° clockwise from the pen position if you keep it an angle like Paul Gilbert") and it does wonderson downpicking
Many times we got swamped in positions, but every position has it place, and most of all involves different muscles of hand/forearm, which is good, because those muscle will strengthen in new ways of playing and help on the old ones we use
My pleasure mate, some interesting points you make there... I'm glad you're enjoying the content... Good luck with it all and thanks for watching 👍
Lovely vid mate and dynamics is the king! It’s the magic ingredient that all our fave players have mastered.
Did I lend you my copy of Ear Xtacy? I seem to remember worshiping at the alter of Timmons back then. Then again his playing was blowing me away when he was with Danger Danger...shame they were a little bit poo hahaha!! I still think one of the chewiest recorded guitar sounds was Nuno’s on Three sides...it’s like rubber hahaha!! Now there’s a player 😀
AW mate, yes it was you responsible for giving me a copy of Ear X tacy... I didn't know if you'd want me to say your name on the video, but yes I have you to thank for a lot of my guitar education 100%.... Timmons especially.... Oh the good old Heron days eh? Those jams upstairs etc... great times...Yeah there's a great concert of Danger Danger I used to watch back in the day, maybe Live in Japan... great playing for sure.
I'll tell you what man, III sides is one of my all time fav albums.... Sooooo good on many levels...
Hope to catch up with you and the gang soon mate.x 👍🎸🙏
...I guess, you meanwhile get my point, that you're simply brilliant. So I just want to tell you, that you are absolutely right again! Since I got my new, VERY great guitar, my playing changed a lot automatically! From just shredding scales and arpeggios to actual MUSIC and EXPRESSION in every note. Which is really the true fun on the one hand and the true ground breaker technically on the other hand. I always play melodies (WITH the brain involved!) to warm up and pretty often come up with new ideas. Just by warming up. And the practice session goes on like that. And even when the "shred part" of the practice kicks in, it's like i've made a 2-hour-session for that before. It's the real key to mastery, I guess. The bad thing is: I needed 22 years of passionate playing for this revelation... :D Better late, than never, hm? ;) Cheers!
Hey mate, thanks again for the kind words.... I'm glad you agree with my point regarding making music and expression glad you're enjoying the videos. All the best Markus. 👍🎸🙏
Hey Alex, what's the name of the song at 3:52?
Thank you for this video. Andy's tone and playing is so soothing to the ears. Could never get bored hearing him out 😁
At the same time, your tone is so unique and playing is versatile. Thank you for the music you create. Stay blessed 🙏🏽
Hi there, this is just an Improvisation for the video.... Bluesy thing in F#minor... Glad you enjoyed it.
All the best 👍🎸🙏
Excellent call on Mr. Timmons. Most folks take the easy way out and cite Eric Johnson.
I suggest Blues Saraceno, Johnny A ., and Marc Bonilla are worthy of tone god consideration, too.
Hey Alex, thanks for watching. I've definitely been a big fan of Blues Saraceno, so could consider that for sure, I'm afraid I'm not so familiar with the other guys so will have to check them out. All the best 👍
Awesome playing, and those licks you played at aound 12:20 were ridiculous. Reminded me of Richie Kotzen. Any chance of a Kotzen lesson in the future? There’s so few good videos demonstrating his style it’s almost criminal!
Thank you mate.... glad you enjoyed them..... I've already decided the last two guitarists for this series but if I can generate enough interest I more than happily extend it to do a second series in the future..... And I'm sure Kotzen would be in there, he's a total badass.. Love his stuff....
Andy Timmons - absolutely fantastic genius! God Bless!
Couldn't agree more! He's brilliant. thanks for watching 👍
Man Andy was the reason I started playing! And to this day he is still the guy I compare everything to- for me he's the greatest example of 10/10 tone, technique, feel and taste. Thank you so much for this great series!
Hello mate, thats awesome... Yeah man, he's a true true great in my opinion. I was going to call it, Andy Timmons he has it all, TONE FEEL and CHOPS So I think we're on the same page there. 👍
THanks for watching 👍🎸🙏
I really discovered a broader range of dynamics from practicing through lock down
Good on you. Thx for watching 👍🎸🙏
Are they his lines you are playing? They are incredibly tasty.. Great phrases, it took me decades to realise its all about phrasing, tone and holding back, using dynamics, being musical basically..
Hello mate, Actually I'm improvising here on this video and just thinking about the essence of Andy's playing. But yes it is all about phrasing. 👍 I'm glad you enjoyed the video, all the very best 👍🎸🙏
haha I teared up before listening to some of Andy's pieces. fun convo to have with the wife as to why you're in that state at 2 am. ...so I just said I was on drugs. less explaining that way :)
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Love that mate... Funny as hell. Thanks for watching 👍🎸🙏
Hi Alex. Andy Timmons has repeatedly thrilled you to the point of making you cry. That's exactly what you do with me. When I listen to you sometimes I find myself crying for the emotions you transmit to me. However I agree with you: Andy Timmons is really great. Thanks for the video. All the best
Luigi, you are too kind... it's wonderful to know my music has touched you too... Thank you sir, and best wishes as always... 👍🎸🙏
Yeah Andy is literally my favorite guitarist. My guitar playing is the way it is because of him
Nice one mate. Yeah he's wicked. All the best 👍🎸🙏
hey Alex thanks for sharing i hope you recovered well ....
My pleasure, yes I'm certainly getting there, thanks for asking... All the very best
Tasty, and yeah....great tone.
Not a player I have listened to hugely, but I should probably rectify that :)
Thanks Dave, yes do check him out he's a beautiful player indeed. Thanks for watching. 👍🎸🙏
That setup sounds amazing! What amp are you recording this with? Great lesson as always - thank you for the wisdom, Alex.
Cheers Mike, Glad you enjoyed it. It's an IronHeart amp by Laney.
Rather than Mic'ing it up, for convenience I go into a WAZA tube amp expander into an Avalon 737 into my sound card... Hope that helps... All the best
My wife gave me a ticket to the iriridium as a present back in 2015. I just had recently arrived to the states.
I met with him after the show I told him I dreamt with knowing him and I was a fan since 2005 and that he was the inspiration for me playing the electric.
He gave me his pick. I have it framed with a picture with him in my house.
My little girl some time ask me who is that man on the family photos.
That's a great story thank you for sharing. It's very cool of him to give you his pick. All the very best and thank you for watching 👍🎸🙏
Love this series! Can you make one about Allan Holdsworth?
Thanks so much, I'll see what I can do, there's only 2 episodes left in this series.... I'm considering making a 2nd Series in the Future anyway... Either way thanks for watching and all the best 👍
One off your best videos yet dude and the story you tell is brilliant , truly fantastic keep playing
Thank you so much Bruce I'm glad you enjoyed it. All the very best 👍🎸🙏
Another wonderful video Alex :) Totally agree Andy is a total package, tone, feel, ridiculous phrasing and he seems like just the coolest guy, a total gentleman. I think Ascension is my favourite track
buts its very hard to pick just one and you're right music is amazing that it can move you that way, the emotional reaction is powerful.
Thank you Marcus, yes he has it all... Such a great player... Thanks for watching. 👍🎸🙏
The Final Guitar Gods must be an "Alex Hutching by himself"
hahahah no no someone much more special.... Coming soon.Thx for watching 👍🙏
His shoe horns non some nice less pentatonic stuff too yet still retains musicality..
Thank you mate. 👍🎸🙏
Alex.
How's the finger?
Andy Timmons is my favourite electric guitarist. Every note he plays is concidered and has meaning....
Kind regards
Keep well ...George
Hey George, fingers has healed well thank you.... still some numbness but I can play through it fortunately.
Yeah Man, Timmons is brilliant, such a dynamic player... Thanks for watching 👍
@@AlexHutchingsMusic I'm glad your finger is on the mend.. Treat it with respect my friend, give it time.. I've been there with a finger injury.. Slow progress is the name of the game.. Take care
George
Underrated AT tune- Moments of fortune from Protocol 2.
Hey thanks Shaunak, I'll have to check it out.... Thanks for watching 👍🙏🎸
Surely Greg Howe must also be on your list of guitar gods.
Greg is an absolute beast, have you ever seen the video of us jamming together? th-cam.com/video/XtxDkvqfQQY/w-d-xo.html
I have so many heroes I'm hoping to make 1000 episodes of this series 🤣😂 Thanks fro watching
Andy Say "Don't forget Treble Bleed"
Yes, A very special ingredient. I'm hoping to check one out quite soon. Thanks for watching 👍🎸🙏
what is that guitar with the funky headstock? looks and sounds great.
Hey Mate, the Orangey Red one is an old Valley Arts.... One of my favourites.
👍🎸🙏 thx fro watching.
Everything about Andy's tone is perfection!
I couldn't agree more mate.. 👍 Thx for watching
Wow, Alex replied to you!😆
I'm shocked but very happy, because I guessed Andy Timmons would be in your Guitar Gods series and yet I never really thought you'd include him... needless to say... I agree with everything you've expressed here. Andy is simply marvelous, incredible, amazing, fabulous... kinda like you, my friend. :-) Sorry for that, I know you're humble and probably struggle with the constant compliments... Andy Timmons definitely has a quite similar humility to his personality, its very special to find, I wish more humans had it but that only makes us appreciate those who do have it even more. In terms of music, humility is kinda sorta like "leaving space between the notes", not constantly just shredding a million miles an hour even tho you can certainly do so... I ordered a DVD from Andy and when it arrived, it also included a signed photo of him on stage, signed in sharpie complete with my real name proving he took the time out of his day to thank me for my purchase... as I say, a special human being from all appearances that I've seen. Thanks for sharing, you have made some TERRIFIC influence choices!!
Thank you so much mate, you're right, sometimes it can be difficult to receive compliments but I'm learning how important it is in developing as a person and a musician.... Since doing this series and interacting with you guys a little more it's something I've really considered in depth. Perhaps theres too much to go into here but may it could be a topic to approach in the future. I'm considering another series where we talk about these topics not just music, because regardless of ability or skill level as you quite rightly say, perhaps this is more a topic of humility, which we can all relate to. Either way thank you again for taking the time to express yourself in your wonderful comment and have a fantastic weekend. 👍🎸🙏
Andy Timmons almost has a certain shy quality to him (he hides behind his longer bangs haha), not sure if he ever struggled with it in his career ("stage fright") but I know my own shyness and painful self consciousness always held me back, it literally meant I could only play in the privacy of my bedroom, otherwise with people listening and watching me I became a total klutz who just couldn't perform at all. Thankfully I never seriously considered music performance as a career, it was always just an enjoyable hobby. I think a making a video on topics like this not directly related to music itself would still be very valuable to hear. I bet a lot of performers struggle with the humilty and fan adoration and stuff like that.
That clean, bright scratch from the out of phase pickups I call "cutting glass," and man, you can cut some serious glass. If you got that tone from Andy, I'll have to check him out.
Hey Trent, thanks so much man..... and boy you're in for a treat when you check out Andy's stuff....... You're gonna love it.... All the very best mate and thanks for watching 👍🎸🙏
It is. As soon as Alex started playing the Andy-style licks, I said "Woah, THAT'S Andy's tone!"
Andy Timmons
El mejor entre los mejores
absolutamente. gracias por ver.
Please share more about Frank Gambale style shred and sweep. Andy Timmons and all other alternate picking players style are so avaible . And alternat picking is easy to understand. Frank Gambale style is still a secret. Show us more please.
Hi there did you see my Frank Gambale episode? I shared a couple of cool licks in that video. Maybe in the future I could do some more if more people request it. Thanks very much for watching and all the best. 👍🎸🙏
@@AlexHutchingsMusic Hi Alex , firstly thank you so much for your answer. You are so generous. And i saw your Frank Gambale video and all you explained. But still i ( we ) need learn more about his style . We can find a lot of lessons about alternate picking , legato or some classical sweep ideas on youtube easily. But style of Gambale is still secret and so hard to make copy his style . Your sweep picking style is so similar with his too. And i mean please share more Gambale/Hutchings style exceptional sweep picking licks and walkings. Thanks for your kind . Best wishes master .
Hey Alex!! Woow! I was waiting for this episode!! Thanks sooo much for making it happen wow! What a great suprise to start the weekend! Thanks so much Alex!!!! PS: Andy is really remembering all the fans he met throughout the years I'll promise you! :) He's such a great heart ! PS2: Yeeah that Section at the 90th Ibanez where Paul Gilbert yells "Andy!" and heee kills it with that solo of the tune soo unbelievable haha ! Have you ever tried the DiMarzio Cruiser Pickups that Andy uses? Nice intro of "Groove or Die" at 12:42 :D
Hey Dennis, I'm so pleased you enjoyed this episode, I enjoyed putting it together. I also feel Andy is a wonderful guy and hope he does remember me next time we meet.... I've not tried those pick ups but I'll have to check them out... Especially as I am a DiMarzio endorser... 🤣 Thank for watching... 🎸🙏
@@AlexHutchingsMusic hey Alex, did you attend Andys Stageit show today?
Andy has the best tone in the business, for sure!!!
Yeah man, it's so tasty.. Thanks for watching 👍🎸🙏
Awesome Alex.....your playing truly is unreal..... I didnt realise how much you loved Andy Timmons...... Hes awesome too,love his playing.......ps i did a cover on my youtube Channel of "Groove or Die" using my Waghorn AH6 if you ever get chance to have a listen... Amazing stuff as always Alex.....im sure your not of this Earth tho lol ....looking forward to next weeks :)
Saw a reaction video on TH-cam by 'HalfLife Sistah' reacting to Cry for You by Timmons. She didn't just shed a tear; she was sobbing.
Hello Alex, i love your videos ! Could you may do a sweep picking lesson ? I am trying since a few month but still struggle... Do you have a advices or tricks for better sweep picking for beginners ? Thanks & Greetings from Germany !
You have very good taste^^ I m sure there will be a vid about Scott Henderson or Allan Hollsworth in the future,aren't it?! Seriously,your channel which alternate vids with your own style and others with your favourite musicians is a good concept thanks again for your great work Jordão
Thank you mate, I'm trying my best to make the videos fun, I'm glad you're enjoying them.... Wishing you all the best 👍
Of course, rolling over 2 strings with the pinky, who doesn't love that...
Andy was so on fire at Ibanez 90 anniversary that he putted in a kind of awkward situation to Vai and Gilbert 😅
Oh yeah man, I know what you mean... I felt the same.... In recent years though it seem Vai has completely acknowledged Andy's greatness and embraced it.... It's a pretty close knit community I guess too... Thanks for watching. All the very best
@@AlexHutchingsMusic 🙏🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I always thought Eric Johnson & Trey Anastasio had the best tone but Timmons is insane too so I guess it’s highly subjective
Andy is great but i prefer you in all aspects of guitar playing🤘
Hey Saran that's very kind of you to say so.... I wouldn't be the player I am with out his music though... a wonderful artist. All the best mate.
@@AlexHutchingsMusic True indeed, you and me are inspired by Andy and others but trust me your monster guitar player man! Your my idol including Shawn Lane, Rusty Cooley, Joe Satraini, John Petrucci.
@@sarandeula6194 Thank you very much mate... I'm honoured to be on that list. All the best 👍
@@AlexHutchingsMusic 🤘😃🤘
I need tabs and backing track for carefree summer pls 😭😭😭
Hello mate. No worries it's available here. jtcguitar.com/store/package/custom-fusion-series-1
The name is different but in fact it's exactly the same performance... ;-) 👍 Here it's called Summer of love.... Thanks for watching 🙏
@@AlexHutchingsMusic thanks Alex!! I'll get it 🤘
Great lesson, Andy is an incredible player, especially live he's really in the moment
Absolutely mate. Love it. 👍 Thx for watching
Bravissimmo,Alex!!✨🎼🙏🏼🎼🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely outstanding!!!
Cheers man. Glad you enjoyed it. ;-)
Dude, this was just epic! I really admire you and Andy, you will always be my guitar heroes, thanks for uploading this Alex! Greetings from Chile
Thank you so much mate, really pleased you enjoyed it... All the best 👍🎸
The answer is Yes. AT does have the best tone in the business 🙂
hahaha yeah totally. 👍👍👍 Thanks for watching
@@AlexHutchingsMusic thanks for doing these videos!
Yes. Best tone in the business. One of the few with real dynamics. I also appreciate his polyphonic approach to the electric guitar... A seamless mix of rhythm and lead lines.
Alex, great description of his usage of the volume pot. I would also mention that he's using a treble bleed to keep his tone at very low volume.
Thank you mate, yes I recently discovered about the Volume pot thing too, very cool, I should look into it myself. Thanks for watching and all the best 👍🎸🙏
I love andys Danger Danger days
Yeah man, some really great playing. I love the live in Japan concert... Thanks fro watching 👍🎸🙏
Nice to hear a Reb Beach shout-out! Winger got tons of smack due to Kip's pretty-boy looks, but Kip and Reb are really underrated and an amazing music-making duo! Andy Timmons is a beast on guitar and a major influence for those who've never delved into his music! Thanks for sharing this lesson and his influence on your playing!
My pleasure mate, yes Reb was also an influence , and I must confess...
Huge Winger Fan here..... Love 'em big time.👍🎸🙏
Good morning Alex! You were absolutely marvelous, fantastic, amazing! May I add the lesson was off the hook as always. Andy Timmons is one of the most incredible guitarists out there today! We agree on that for sure! He uses the same formula in his playing! He lets his inner soul sing out his hearts feelings, in which you are the Master of this art! His level of emotional playing is what probably catches mine and your musical eye! Have a great weekend coming up Alex ! By the way , I loved the Jem! If you get a chance checkout my newest "Thunder ⚡️⛈Thursday " and any other new stuff that I've recently played, leave a comment if you have a extra second! Until next week cheers 🍻 Alex! Peace my friend ✌🏻😊🤙🏻🙏🏻
THanks very much Dana.... I'll try to swing by a bit later on.. All the every best 👍🙏🎸
That is very well said, Dana - I agree with your words about Andy Timmons and I agree Alex has similar qualities in his playing, not every guitarist can generate such emotion inside me when I hear their music, its a special quality indeed, a rare quality. We know it when we hear it!!!!
Andy Timmons is amazing! Your tone os incomparable! ♥️
Thx very much Chiko... Much appreciated. 👍
Andy Timmons is Really Outstanding.
Absolutely mate.... One of the best 👍
Шикарно как всегда!!!
Спасибо, сэр 🎸🙏👍
i love Andy timmons
Me too. Thx for watching 👍🎸🙏
Cool lick!Thx Alex!
My pleasure, have fun with it. All the best 👍
Hi Alex don’t downsize your playing m8 Andy is amazing and His tone is great but you’re a more versatile player. I watched you on the Steve Wilson DVD enough said 👍🎸
Thank you Paul, I appreciate you saying that... I'm glad you enjoyed the Steven Wilson DVD, that was a great tour... All the best 👍🎸🙏
@@AlexHutchingsMusic thank you loved it especially your solo on Regret No9 matches Guthrie’s in my opinion 👍
@@joshuasydnee THank you Paul... 👍🙏
You've made great points about AT's playing.. and yes, that moment in the Ibanez 90th Anniversary concert where Andy plays a solo in Paul's tune is crazy ripping 🔥🔥🔥
Cheers mate. Yeah that's one of my absolute Favs. All the best 👍🎸🙏
Eric johnson live in austin 1988 best guitar tone of all time seriously not even a discussion…
Nice yeah, a fab concert for sure 👍🙏🎸
Looks like the finger is healing nicely!
Hi Andy, yes thankfully I still have some numbness in my left index finger, which is really annoying, but fortunately I can play through it. Thank you for watching 👍🎸🙏
@@AlexHutchingsMusic praying for continued healing.
Ghost of You, Gone...
Yes mate, great trax. 👍
Hi Alex, great tribute to Andy the king of tone ! 🤘👌"Deliver Us" always stuck with me . . . . probably because it was achievable for my standard, mostly anyway 😉. Always striving for that tone, thanks for the tips mate. And in addtion , on behalf of all who comment , thankyou for always taking the time to reply to us all. It is very much appreciated . Maybe the only guitarist youtuber to do so. 👍👍👍
Thank you mate, it's my pleasure.... I'm trying my best to engage whilst I can, I'm really enjoying connecting with y'all, it's cool man.... And thank you for checking out of all the vids.... All the best 👍🎸🙏
Спасибо! Очень круто :)
Спасибо за просмотр 👍
@@AlexHutchingsMusic 👍👍👍
@@maksmayersss 👍🎸🙏
Wanna hear a story? Of course you do. Andy Timmons and Shawn Lane played the same night at AIMM many many moons ago. Shawn thought everybody wanted to hear him only shred, so he wouldn't come down from light speed. When Andy went on, he focused on phrasing. The conclusion we came to was, at least on this night, Andy was the better player. We obviously love both tremendously, but we didn't expect what we witnessed.
Interesting mate... yes indeed, musicality is key..... thanks for watching & sharing your story..All the best 👍🎸🙏
Glad to see you feature the fantastic Andy Timmons! Such a great & underrated player. So glad I found you on YT. Really enjoying your vids & playing, Alex!
Welcome aboard Kip, and thanks for the kind words, really pleased you're enjoying the Channel,
all the best. 👍🙏🎸
Andy T. is second only to the supreme being Eric Johnson for amazing divine tone. Mind you Alex, your tone is pretty awesome too as is your superb playing.
Thanks so much mate.... 👍🎸🙏
That lick you played is a very similar sounding phrase that occurs in the intro solo in Sails Of Charon by Scorpions. Love it!
Thx so much man. 👍🎸🙏
Andy plays not just from his heart but his very soul. The same can be said about how you play.
Your videos just keep getting better Alex, awesome video, keep them coming.
Thank you very much mate.... Yes what a legend he is... ;-) All the best
Impressive😎🤘🔥 big fan both of you Sir 🙏
Thank you mate, I'm pleased you enjoyed it... Thx for watching. 👍🎸🙏
@@AlexHutchingsMusic thank you Sir 🙏😊
Andy is a Fantastic player and a great person too
Yes mate, totally.. Thanks for watching 👍🎸🙏
Oh I hope Alex plays some Danger Danger during this. Perhaps Naughty Naughty. 😃
Oooohhh yeah I would've loved too but there's just tooo many good things to say about him... I did love his playing with them though... some great live show footage out there. THanks for watching 👍
Andy is a true monster tone!! Great job Alex!!
Yes mate, the Master.. Thanks for watching 👍🎸🙏
Love love Andy's work and your video communicates his style and nuance so well. Cheers Alex!
Awesome I'm so pleased you think so... All the very best 👍
Amazing to hear your story and history. It will inspire me. 🙌🙌🙌.. The best thing is you can play like them really good. Thank you for the lesson.
Thank you mate, I'm glad you're enjoying the videos... All the best 👍🎸🙏
Andy...say thanks to this man !!! So much respect for Alex 🙏🎸🤘
THank you mate... All the best to you 👍🎸🙏
This is why you are one of my favorite players. 1 for chops, verstility, musicianship and humbled...Great video on Andy mate!
Thanks so much man, really appreciated. 👍🙏🎸
Watched this today with my wife at brunch (she allows me this once in a while!) and the first thing we both said was “He seems like such a nice guy! Killer player! A lot like Andy Timmons because of this” Your genuine spirit and humility come through, Alex! Can’t wait to dig into your stuff and of course support your craft and talents too! 👍🎸
Hey Joe, what a lovely message, thank you so so much.....I do hope you'll enjoy some of my other videos... they are quite wide ranging but hope you'll find something of interest... ;-) My very best to you both...👍
