some of the greatest guitar tones I've seen in my life so far. Wish him and Eric Johnson could make an album together. Andy would do Solo guitar and Eric the chords. That'd be Empyrean.
I'm amazed, as a 56yr old music lover and guitarist that I've only just heard of Andy Timmons. His talent is beyond words. I now have to re-calibrate my ideas of a great guitarist, Andy Timmons , to me....is Hendrix, SRV, Joe Satriani, Nuno Bettencourt, Tommy Emanuelle , Eric Clapton, Randy Rhoads, Mark Knopfler and every 'guitar great' I can can name rolled into one, but wrapped in his own unique style and interpretation - I find it simply unbelievable what my ears and eyes have just witnessed. This man simply pours his soul through that instrument, I never knew that the guitar could be as expressive. Mindblowing!
This is my all-time favourite song by a living guitarist. Absolutely fantastic playing with so much emotion and passion, and a real sense of melody mixed in with incredible technique and serious tone. This is Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Lenny" mixed in with some Jimi Hendrix for good measure! Love this song!
Some guitarists like Yngwie Malmsteen are very good at technique and speed with the guitar, but when listening to Andy Timmons we realize that to be a good guitarist is needed not only speed if not the feeling that he put the song! / .. /
most people confuse music genres, technical styles and make these honest comments. just because you don't get the emotions doesn't mean the emotions are not there. just because I don't like rap doesn't make rap a less valuable genre. just because YM plays too fast doesn't mean he plays without emotion. Juan is comparing apples to cabbage :) it's just a different taste, different feel, different genre.
This guy looks like, act likes, performs as energetically as Lou Christie, the singer from the 1960s. It's like watching him all over again, renewed, remade and updated. It is unreal how much they resemble each other and have the exact same kind of stage presence and similar emotional effect.
When you don't gotta speak...... You just know and words aren't good enough....so you just lay there staring at the moon with your heart pounding perhaps even skipping a beat or two 🕝🕑
I was fortunate to see him at a guitar clinic in 1993 he played us his Ear Ecstasy material and we were amazed at his playing .I met him afterwards and got an autographed 8 x 10 picture of him we shook hands he wished me luck and he's a great guy great guitar player.
Hey! dude just wanna let you know that your playing is great. your one of my greatest guitar inspiration and I hope you'll give us more in the future and I wish i have those gears . i'm struggling musician i work 9 hours a day and save money just to hope that someday i can buy some guitars and gears like that . cheers! - Philippines - JP
@ProjectBerklee good amount of gain, 12 frets up from the fretted note. takes a little practice to get them to pop, but he's not using any special gear to get them.
+blastdude89 This is what Hendrix would sound like if he could shred. Andy Timmons is the perfect amalgam of shedding capability and melodic sensibilities.
hoş geldin abi.. marmaris çok güzel umarım çok rahat edeceksin. 10-11-12 aralıkta u.k. de olmam gerekiyor.. konsere uğrayabilirsem yolculuk öncesi harika olur. görüşürüz abi, özlendin
Hendrix to the bone. Appart from that it sounds like the early 90's when bands like Pearl Jam or Soundgarden were both digging in the soul of 60's rock but trying to get as far as they could from the 80s hair rock/metal attitude.
Andy Timmons is also very listenable. You can have all the feeling, technique and speed in the world, but if you can't listen to it then what's the point in playing? I can't listen to Steve Vai for more than about 30 seconds usually, but I could listen to Andy all day :)
One of the greatest guitar instrumentals ever. I just seem to prefer it this way, a half-step tune down (ie. Eb Standard). Has a more calming and Hendrixy feel.
I am wondering if you could compare Andy Timmons to Travis Larson, or are their styles so different, it would be like comparing apples to oranges? Both are phenomenal guitarists.
I don't even understand why Malmsteen is so appreciated and famous, to me he's just a soulless robot. Andy, on the other side, damn...every song is pure emotion.
***** As much as I love Satch, I agree with you. Timmons is a way better guitarist than Satch when it comes to composition and melody. Perhaps one of the best ever.
you havent heard ~always with me always with you ~ then. sorry, there is something wrong with you then :) if you cant hear the emotion that satch plays. just 2 different styles of guitarists
Lots of people think the same, and I think it's Yngwie's fault. I mean, so many of his latest efforts are repetitive -same patterns, same scales, even the same melodies- and poorly composed. Anyway, when you listen to some of his beautiful compositions -Brothers, Sorrow, Baroque n' Roll-, you realise that he's only become a lazy man, but the genius is still there. From a true Yngwie fan.

complete opposites. eric is very light picker while andy is very aggressive style

I think Andy is awesome
He is !
So glad I've just found this song! I can't get enough of it. It is out of this world crazy good, what a guitarist!!!!
Saw Andy and his band perform at a guitar show in the 90s. Straight up amazing talent.

Those harmonics
Love this! Clear Hendrix influence :D
Thats how you start a fire!!! Amazing...met him in Abilene TX. in the 90's...very impressesed

¡¡IMPRESIONANTE, EL MEJOR DIRECTO!!
NA MINHA OPINIÃO UM DOS MELHORES SOLOS DO MUNDO, ANDY TYMMONS MUITO MUSICAL ESSE CARA.
Wow, is not only speed, is the godd music....Andy Timmons knows how to play the guitar without kill it...Very nice!!!
Gotta love that warm tone.
muito lindo e emocionante esse tema!

Hey! just wanna let you know this isnt actually Andy Timmons' channel.
so great!!
sensational
Fantastic!!!
One can't simply play better..unmatchable
this song is perfect... great feeling!
This song really could do with a nice vocal part. It'd be glorious (I know, I know it already is, but if you know what i mean...).
love this song!
Toll! Er ist der beste.
very nice solo at the end, damn thats good music!
realy love this one !!!
Absolutamente genial!!
super classe
Wonderful
Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
capooooooooooo sin plabrasssss ,,, hace vibrar esa guitarra ,,, de diez ..
Pure class
Absolute guitar genius.
Why is Axl Rose on bass?
Kkkkkkk it's true
Axl Rose is an asshat. not worthy of the same stage
Thought it was Jay without Silent Bob.
Hats kid rock
Epic song ..
What a player!
@ProjectBerklee
good amount of gain, 12 frets up from the fretted note. takes a little practice to get them to pop, but he's not using any special gear to get them.
Jesus Christ,
That Perfect SONG!
AMAZING!!!!!
=D
what a feel... love the sound of that tap-pick. his tone is amazing, thanks to mesa boogie
he played a Laney in those days, the boogie came later
@@stoofbuis ooh. good to know 😃
A monster
Great !!!
This has Hendrix written all over it
+blastdude89 This is what Hendrix would sound like if he could shred. Andy Timmons is the perfect amalgam of shedding capability and melodic sensibilities.
+blastdude89 Yeah,he should have called it something like "Electric Gypsy"just to show how "Hendrixy"it sounds!
Perfectly Stated Soham!
Que belleza
Awesome! My hart is beating with joy!!
The man can play.
Just best!
hoş geldin abi.. marmaris çok güzel umarım çok rahat edeceksin. 10-11-12 aralıkta u.k. de olmam gerekiyor.. konsere uğrayabilirsem yolculuk öncesi harika olur. görüşürüz abi, özlendin
pura verdade!
Great guitar song! It seems like 2 guitars playing together.
진짜 소름돋는다진짜...너무잘쳐..진짜
And he is so good at technique and speed, but the feeling of Andy is unique.
I agree with you...
Hendrix to the bone. Appart from that it sounds like the early 90's when bands like Pearl Jam or Soundgarden were both digging in the soul of 60's rock but trying to get as far as they could from the 80s hair rock/metal attitude.

That`s how I play guitar in my dreams.
how the fuck have i not found this dude before!
wow!
awesome, woah that's from the 90's XD
One of the greatest guitar instrumentals ever. I just seem to prefer it this way, a half-step tune down (ie. Eb Standard). Has a more calming and Hendrixy feel.
Not only for the guitarist but to all musicians! :D
Jay and Silent Andy
I always prefer him playing this in Eb Standard tuning. The calming effect is more evident.
I am wondering if you could compare Andy Timmons to Travis Larson, or are their styles so different, it would be like comparing apples to oranges? Both are phenomenal guitarists.
Although it's a beautiful song, beautiful interpretation!!
True Story!
But you do have to admit he has one of the best tones around, if not THE best.
and we got Jay rockin the bass
sound zeeeeeeddd oh god.
I don't even understand why Malmsteen is so appreciated and famous, to me he's just a soulless robot. Andy, on the other side, damn...every song is pure emotion.
sometimes it is good not to have lyrics...we can concentrate on the playing!...he is great!!
@hullan666 maybe it's overrated, but there's a big why, The sound cames from his hands firt...
Do you think Yngwie does't put feelings into his songs? (Sorry for responding to the 6 months old comment, but I just had to)
thanks to xotic bb preamp for sound ^^
I thought joe satriani only play with such accuracy style speed and emotion, but this andy is some serious guitarist!
***** As much as I love Satch, I agree with you. Timmons is a way better guitarist than Satch when it comes to composition and melody. Perhaps one of the best ever.
you havent heard ~always with me always with you ~ then. sorry, there is something wrong with you then :) if you cant hear the emotion that satch plays. just 2 different styles of guitarists
not only emotion, also the accuracy of speed is impressive, just 2 different styles of guitarists, i like em both much
more strat than strat....
Andy timmons at his prime
is this the guitar with duncan jb on the bridge ?
Axl Rose play Bass? O.o
haha
hahahahaha wtf
LMAO...The minute I started watching this, I thought the same thing!
와.. 지린다
Nossa lindo!!! apartir dos 2:15 fica dahora! ( :
I was thinking the same thing. Does playing fast automatically mean you don´t have feeling in it?
@kermheat à la basse ? ;)
I don't blame him for wanting to play in front of bigger crowds ; )
FENDER ☺☺☺
it's actually an Ibanez ;)
The solo is nearly at light speed.
damn
Lots of people think the same, and I think it's Yngwie's fault. I mean, so many of his latest efforts are repetitive -same patterns, same scales, even the same melodies- and poorly composed.

From a true Yngwie fan.
somebody knows wich gear or overdrive pedal usually used timmons?
Andres Carvajal he's using a Xotic BB Preamp to boost his amp (a Mesa Boogie Lone Star) giving it a reeeaally nice saturated and warm tone.
Andres Carvajal actually now he uses a Keeley modded boss blues driver
Randy Timmons on bass
and then you realize he's guitar god
asım abi, nasılsın, neler yapıyorsun?
Who can dislike?? WHOO???
No lonestar and no jhs pedal still sounds like Andy, tone is in the fingers not the gear
Jimi hendrix all over the song. From the name to the way he plays. (:
and steve morse i think
