How is this guy not recognized and revered as one of the best players on the planet? Yeah, they all approach their own music in their own way, but for beauty, taste, chops, songwriting...he's the equal of anybody. He's a Musician (capital M)! What a great Musician. 🎸🎵📀😎
I'm kind of on the look out for some other (non household named) melodic guys like this? All I can name really would be Rick Graham. Would appreciate a few names!
I am facing a very difficult moment in my life and everytime i put this track EVERY SINGLE PROBLEM just disapears... Thank you so much Master Andy, you really are gift to all of us.
I always think his guitar is like a third arm. It is just part of him. He doesn't play guitar. It just is. He simply thinks and beautiful tones and phrases flow out of this extra body part the rest of us don't have.
With all respect to your comment, I think it’s safe to say that Andy is humble and gracious enough to draw off of his fans ‘ support. I’m one of them as well as the man’s talent and character speak volumes. Cheers.
I think of my mom, too, when I hear this, Tom. She used to sit and listen to all my guitar music with me and Andy was also one of her favorites. She used to say, “He’s not trying to show off - he makes you FEEL it!” To which I’d reply, “I know, he’s such a show-off!” 😆Our mothers are alive in the deep emotions derived from this music. All the best to you guys and thank you, Andy. ✌🏼
Couldn't stop crying 😭...late Charles kaziman Rai who is my father in law. Everytime I listen to this song I lock my room and cry because he was my friend and Father who made me confident to fight the challenges the world has shown and thank you for giving me wonderful wife and sister in law.
Hi Raymond, I'm so sorry you have lost this great man in your life. But he is always with you each time you think of him...I'm honored if this music brings you closer to him.
William Smith they are pretty equal actually if you listen to both of a lot of their music. Plus Andy uses a modern Ibanez with bloody DiMarzios in it and a modern amp
William Smith hence the reason for your poorly constructed and overly opinionated argument. A man scientifically loses the capacity of two thirds of his brain when he is angry and you sir have adequately displayed that. Andy Timmons is one of the most highly respected and gifted guitarists of the past twenty years. Steve vai, satriani, govan and many others have cited his abilities and influence on their playing, if you haven’t heard much of Andy music and just formed an opinion that’s your own shortcoming in mankind sound judgments. Andy is as good as Eric in every way and few would deny that, his tone is not as on par- as you were describing this to be a tonal issue, and I quote” Eric Johnson is the TONE monster”. Is Eric is using a 1957 start into a vintage twin and plexus with vintage fuzz, tube driver and memory man delay. Andy is using a modern guitar, modern lone star amp, modern tubescreamer and pedals and his tone is absolutely superb when he has a disadvantage in the gear he is using to Eric’s. But shit I’m not standing around all day defending who is better, each to his own man. Perhaps scroll the comments section and see that nearly all who watched this video like yourself are commenting on Andy’s amazing playing and TONE, I guess they are all wrong and you are right. Could you please direct me to some of your brilliant recordings to listen to maestro?
This song touches me. My sister passed in January--on your way Sweet Soul--and I agree, Andys playing is the best! Melodic Muse was great. Thanks Andy!
I always think of my grandmother whenever i listen to this song. We miss you and love you with all our hearts. Happy Birthday and May Your Sweet Soul Rest In Peace LOLA 🙏❤️🙏
Andy Timmons is most likly one of the most musical and tecnical guitarist that always has,and is going to have an big influence and incredble impact on the guitar world both now and a long way Into the future,,, He is an Unicorn❤️❤️❤️❤️
sometimes life is tiring, not everything is as expected. we are forced to accept reality. but it all comes back to ourselves. how do we live it for that we must always be grateful. and listening to this, I'm grateful again. there's still something that cheers me up 🥺
Absolutely, I have listened to this for five years nearly once a month, each time it rings differently but always the same emotion for me because this is when I first heard it the day after my husband's passing. Twenty years together, thirty-eight years my senior, WWII veteran would have been 104 years old today. Thanks for the memories.
What a thing of beauty!! A bunch of notes strung together into perfect melody. Poetry without words. Who would want to imagine a world without majestic mountains and cascading waterfalls. A world without all the wondrous animals who have every right to share life amongst us. A world without music like this? Let's never forget how blessed we are, to experience these things of beauty!!
Très belle élégie, tout en émotions (au pluriel), tout en nuances... Sonorité, harmonie, mélodie, jeu maîtrisé sans esbroufe ni surenchère... Chaque note, chaque effet sont justifiés au profit de la beauté ! Une vraie réussite ! Un enchantement !
This song has changed my perception of life and my entire approach to expressing myself on the guitar. His playing is such an inspiration and challenges everyone to aspire for greatness. I many times ponder on what level of pain and sacrifice he has paid in life to move in that kind of annointing on the guitar. His playing magnifies the creative power of God that is released from his spirit through his music!
I know Andy......in my mind he, must be in the top 10-20 guitarist in the world......... that’s Famely so give him some likes please! All, love to the famely always.........
4 years later and still coming back to hear such a soothing and melodic journey through Andy's emotions laid out for us all to hear and revel in. Such a Wonderful, and Beautiful Soul. I feel Blessed 🙏
In my opinion only..this is the best Strat style guitar tone my ears have ever heard..just my opinion..love the melodies and the expression he displays through his guitar,such emotion..
I dont care what Genre of music you are into, there is just no getting past pure raw un modified talent! we have so few of these now days, Andy you are a Legend; even if just for a few of us that will never forget as long as we still draw breath. Cheers !
Tone for days.........................OMG, the tone. Not only are you the best guitar player ever, but you understand and master how to combine beautiful playing with beautiful tone. The result? The most amazing and expressive beautiful sound ever.
Will, Many times folks don't realize they have no feel for anything then they become numb & confused so when they hear perfection their lost hence the dislike button . We all just call them tone-deaf.
Steve is playing something different and he can't be compared to Andy. Both are geniuses in their own league. Andy's music is pretty close to Joe Sat, but he manages to still distinguish himself. All geniuses and we are blessed.
I have to be honest i find andy to have much better melodic composition that Vai. Vai is great don't get me wrong, and I listen to him as well, but I subjectively would place andy above him
It feels like you just keep falling into deeper and deeper layers as the song goes on until it just explodes, then resolves. Simply fantastic song writing. I like how the first two harmonics higher on the neck near the end of the song create a secondary sound, almost like another note, when you switch pickups from the neck to the bridge to hit the lower harmonics. Pretty cool.
I watch this so many times, and again and again, and I play it all evening and again and again, I must learn it!!! God bless you AT...such a talent, such a tone, playing!! best tone in guitar industry!
This is the first time I've listened to Andy. I was missing out. Some beautiful melodic playing there. Wish I heard him 20 years ago but it's never too late to gain appreciation for an excellent musician.
When the album was released, I didn't think I'd think this is one of the best songs of Andy, if not the best. The song grew on me within time. This is his magnum opus
I listened to this more than 5 times consecutively and will definitely listen again and, again! Both the tune and tone are simply heavenly. Love you, Andy! Always my no. 1 guitar hero! - John
Jeff was an absolute genius bar none, that haunting track "Caroline" I play over and over again, he was an Icon of his time and taken from thousands of us far to early RIP Jeff
As a lifelong guitarist, comparing him to one of my idols, I’ve never said this about anyone, but he is probably the only dude I’ve heard that can put so much passion and feeling in so few notes as David Gilmore.. 🤘🏻🙏🏻
That is the most beautiful and beautifully played song ever. Even with the TAB and watching I could never get that feel perfectly. It's amazing and you are amazing and I appreciate your music so much. Thank you
Don't you think $ 360 per year is quite a lot of subscription fee? I think Andy is a guitarist like no other and his work deserves the best. And I will always be willing to play like him.
andy's music is a gift from God.
From God and to God. ;-)
If one believe...
I agree
Nope, ALL credit to Andy. Very talented. A privilege to be alive on the planet the same time as him.
Oui c'est vrai tu sais que quand tu parles du soleil je vais pas manger avec mes amis de
The real musician: The one who is able to touch your soul and make you fly. Thank Andy!
So true man, luv ths guy he's so nice n humble fr sumone of tht calibre n talent. Thts wat I like abt him.. he's a gud guy.
p
That's the point. Most of the shredders miss the feel of the melody. Steve Vai and Andy Timmons both of them have a very great taste in melody.
@@Hrit check out Panos Arvanitis from Greece and also Marco Fanton from Italy
@@pwi9161 good that I know them already
This is a powerful song that I keep coming back to. It gives me HOPE that everything is going to be OK.
Thanks so much Nathan...that is truly the intent of the song, I'm honored that it means something to you
One of the most melodic virtuosos of all time ...
That's it! Melody, up n down the fretboard instead of tired scales heard in a multitude of variations! 😁
How is this guy not recognized and revered as one of the best players on the planet?
Yeah, they all approach their own music in their own way, but for beauty, taste, chops, songwriting...he's the equal of anybody.
He's a Musician (capital M)!
What a great Musician. 🎸🎵📀😎
Agreed

There is absolutely nobody like Andy Timmons. The feel, the sound, the chops. He is an amazing player ! He inspires me so much !
Grabe ka bay usa kas kinangilngigan
Control, touch, emotion, personality... thanks for the inspiration, your talent, and your spirit... It's a privilege to have players like you around.
Couldn't have said it any better, man.
B
Couldn't agree more :-)
And he writes beautiful songs too. He can do it all, beautifully. Love this guy. 👍
Except there are no players like Andy. Not really.
Andy is in complete control of his instrument in every way. His mastery of tone and phrasing is heavenly to listen to.
I always think his guitar is like a third arm. It is just part of him. He doesn't play guitar. It just is. He simply thinks and beautiful tones and phrases flow out of this extra body part the rest of us don't have.
Andy, I am not sure if you are sick of hearing this, but, I absolutely love your music. Please make more.
Im waiting for his new album !
Always +1, love this comprehension ~~~~~~~
With all respect to your comment, I think it’s safe to say that Andy is humble and gracious enough to draw off of his fans ‘ support. I’m one of them as well as the man’s talent and character speak volumes. Cheers.
Wow I’m sure he hates that, I heard he lists for hate comments on a daily basis, he wants to feel shit about his creativity, don’t we all
8 billion people on earth and less than 50,000 of us know and appreciate real music.
Sure.
Amazing clean sound !
there are now 2.1m of us, cheers! :)
希望我是其中一个
😉😁
@@omrulass 2.3m and counting! Love Andy ❤
poetry and storytelling with a guitar.
Awesome
My soul needed this today
This song has the feeling of letting someone go....as if they passed away and spreading their angel wings to fly to heaven.
Hence the title of the song...😀
Reminds me of my dearly departed Mom. Brings a tear to my eye every time!!
Go on Tom! She's in heaven! You only can listen this music and remember her!
@@JESOBERANES Thank you Mobbie :) Sometimes I need to be reminded she is in a better place. You did just that
I think of my mom, too, when I hear this, Tom. She used to sit and listen to all my guitar music with me and Andy was also one of her favorites. She used to say, “He’s not trying to show off - he makes you FEEL it!” To which I’d reply, “I know, he’s such a show-off!” 😆Our mothers are alive in the deep emotions derived from this music. All the best to you guys and thank you, Andy. ✌🏼
The tone, the bend, the vibrato, everything was on another level. On your way sweet tone
Couldn't stop crying 😭...late Charles kaziman Rai who is my father in law. Everytime I listen to this song I lock my room and cry because he was my friend and Father who made me confident to fight the challenges the world has shown and thank you for giving me wonderful wife and sister in law.
Hi Raymond, I'm so sorry you have lost this great man in your life. But he is always with you each time you think of him...I'm honored if this music brings you closer to him.
@@andytimmonsguitar Thank you Andy you are and will be my favorite guitar player and my guitar idol
Andy is the tone monster.
Another master of tone is Mattias Eklundh, totally different style of playing, but just absolute sick tone.
Coty who the f is that.....what
Allan Holdsworth influenced Mattias Eklundh. Nothing more to say.
William Smith they are pretty equal actually if you listen to both of a lot of their music.
Plus Andy uses a modern Ibanez with bloody DiMarzios in it and a modern amp
William Smith hence the reason for your poorly constructed and overly opinionated argument. A man scientifically loses the capacity of two thirds of his brain when he is angry and you sir have adequately displayed that.
Andy Timmons is one of the most highly respected and gifted guitarists of the past twenty years.
Steve vai, satriani, govan and many others have cited his abilities and influence on their playing, if you haven’t heard much of Andy music and just formed an opinion that’s your own shortcoming in mankind sound judgments.
Andy is as good as Eric in every way and few would deny that, his tone is not as on par- as you were describing this to be a tonal issue, and I quote” Eric Johnson is the TONE monster”. Is Eric is using a 1957 start into a vintage twin and plexus with vintage fuzz, tube driver and memory man delay.
Andy is using a modern guitar, modern lone star amp, modern tubescreamer and pedals and his tone is absolutely superb when he has a disadvantage in the gear he is using to Eric’s. But shit I’m not standing around all day defending who is better, each to his own man.
Perhaps scroll the comments section and see that nearly all who watched this video like yourself are commenting on Andy’s amazing playing and TONE, I guess they are all wrong and you are right. Could you please direct me to some of your brilliant recordings to listen to maestro?
One of the greatest songs ever written by the greatest instrumentalist ever!
Andy Timmons best tone and melodies ever!!
Best so far 🎸🎸🎸 he always surprises with another melodic Masterpiece. lets hope he creates many more albums
This song touches me. My sister passed in January--on your way Sweet Soul--and I agree, Andys playing is the best! Melodic Muse was great. Thanks Andy!
Very sorry for your loss Dick. I'm honored if the music helped you in any small way ❤️
His music pulls me into another dimension ❤..
I always think of my grandmother whenever i listen to this song. We miss you and love you with all our hearts. Happy Birthday and May Your Sweet Soul Rest In Peace LOLA 🙏❤️🙏
Man, I could listen to this over an over for hours on end without getting tired of it . Awesome as it gets.
This song brings back HOPE
That ending gets me every time. Such an emotional song.
Andy Timmons is most likly one of the most musical and tecnical guitarist that always has,and is going to have an big influence and incredble impact on the guitar world both now and a long way Into the future,,,
He is an Unicorn❤️❤️❤️❤️
Andy is the best..
I been playing guitar for 50 years and all I can is wow.... 👏👏👏👏👏
♥♥♥♥♥ Amazing, wonderful, beautiful,
splendid, sublime, spectacular, masterful..
Thank you ANdy for your musicality, school and inspiration
This is straight out incredible playing. So lyrical. It’s a perfect example of a player knowing how much to play, and when to breath.
You really talk through the guitar, Andy.
sometimes life is tiring, not everything is as expected. we are forced to accept reality. but it all comes back to ourselves. how do we live it for that we must always be grateful. and listening to this, I'm grateful again. there's still something that cheers me up 🥺
Cool story Bro..
❤Mary had a little lamb😢❤
Just perfect
I totally agree
Music from Heaven...❤
One of my favorite songs by him! Who needs lyrics when he tells you a different story each time you hear it!
Absolutely, I have listened to this for five years nearly once a month, each time it rings differently but always the same emotion for me because this is when I first heard it the day after my husband's passing. Twenty years together, thirty-eight years my senior, WWII veteran would have been 104 years old today. Thanks for the memories.

Why today's music doesn't sound like this? Are we living in post good music?😢
The intensity of Gary Moore and the feel of a Vai or a Grissom! Brilliant........
Feel of Carlton
Thank you for mentioning Grissom..........
This guy comes to me as a second od the most soulful guitarist of all time. First would be Gary Moore.
far beyond Vai... with no disrespect
This song has changed my perception of life and my entire approach to expressing myself on the guitar. His playing is such an inspiration and challenges everyone to aspire for greatness. I many times ponder on what level of pain and sacrifice he has paid in life to move in that kind of annointing on the guitar.

This sounds better than the album version! More dynamic, raw, natural, real! Love it!!!
63 envious people , i love your music, your feeling, your groove.
I know Andy......in my mind he, must be in the top 10-20 guitarist in the world......... that’s Famely so give him some likes please! All, love to the famely always.........
Probably my favorite Andy Timmons song. Stunningly beautiful.
MASTER OF TONE of the CENTURY : MR. TIMMON & MR. GILMOUR

125 dislikes and I was almost brought to tears. Such emotion and feeling in each note. A master of less words means more.
I think they missclicked, for sure they did
Will, Many times folks don't realize they have no feel for anything then they become numb & confused so when they hear perfection their lost hence the dislike button . We all just call them tone-deaf.
It’s more likely they passed out from the sheer beauty and artistic brilliance and hit their heads on the thumbs down button.
This song is my favorite .... so beautiful and inspirational. It is pure joy to listen to this wonderful melody. It touches the soul.
Said it before, and will repeat: I love the way Andy gets older! Everytime he manages to sound even better than before. Just beautiful!
God damn...as beautiful as i first heard the man in 1998.Thanks for the music.
I could stay hours and hours listening Andy phrasing... Great job. AT forever! Cheers from Brazil.
Not often I'm lost for words. A gift from god.
Your Music has the magic power to make people dream, thanks Andy!!!
Who needs singing andy says it all with his soul
I've always been a Steve Vai fan, but ANDY is becoming one of my new favs.
Steve is playing something different and he can't be compared to Andy. Both are geniuses in their own league. Andy's music is pretty close to Joe Sat, but he manages to still distinguish himself. All geniuses and we are blessed.

You’re gonna love taking a deep dive into Andy’s catalog! It’s a treasure trove of melodic diamonds.
First time listening to this and that was absolutely breathtaking.
Thank god that I can listen this amazing play from far east country. Thank you Andy!
beautiful sound, tone, notation and soul from this song, masterpiece
Andy is a mix of every great guitarist ever known combined. Absolutely moved by this genius.

😊g
Just lost a great friend, and this broke me down. Thanks for helping me grieve my man, true artist.
He's one of my fav's! Satriani should include him on one of the G3 tours!
Ohhhhhh, this sounds amazing, and smells great too!
Awww, he is sooo unbelievable good. ❤ 😊
the best Ballad guitarist !!
I don´t like instrumental music so much, but this guy.... his music makes me fall in tears...
Eargasm!
Beautiful, amazing, sad, feeling, exciting, cheerful, homesickness...
Can't get any better than this.
Andy is the tone AND phrasing monster
