Tim, I’m an Eaton Fire refugee. No notice. Took my best three guitars on a dead run. As of today, our home stands. Countless friends in Altadena and the Palisades have lost theirs. Big winds expected through Wednesday. At our hotel, I have been thanked by quite a few displaced and homeless for playing in the lobby. Guitar does have a healing power, even in the worst of times. Keep playing, everyone.
@@timpierceguitarWow Tim , I’m impressed by how level headed you are here despite the circumstances. No doubt o e if the reasons you got to where you are besides of course superior musical talent and abilities .
In 2000, a plane crashed into our house in Fullerton. We lost almost everything, including vintage Ampeg, Marshall amps, several guitars and our working band's whole PA. I was able to pull my 1996 20th anniversary Stingray, and 1984 G&L L2000, a 70s Marshall and a first gen Fender HM Strat out of the ashes. We moved on, realizing that stuff is just stuff. Sadly, the pilot lost his life and his family lost him. The stuff we saved meant nothing compared to the loss of the pilot. I'm so glad to hear you share the broader perspective. You are such a Gandalf in the guitar world.
No brother it's more than just stuff it's part of you and your VIBRATION...into the universe God bless...Ampeg...I haven't heard that name in 36 years ✝️☮️☯️♾️😎🎸🎶🎶🎸🎶🎸🎸🎶🎸
He does that without the stuff. One can do it with anything when one understands the ultimate. They are just tools, replacable at all. One’s heart is golden.
@@James-if3kc Ummm, no. I'm saying there's a difference between having a home filled with love rather than an oppulant shelter filled with loneliness and stuff.
I couldn't have said it better and may I add my best wishes too, also from the UK. So good to know that you're OK Tim and massive respect and gratitude to the emergency services at the sharp end of all this.
Mr. Pierce, God bless you and yours. I am a musician, and I have a lot of gear. I would be devastated to loose that. I have a lot of stuff. I would put several of guitars in as irreplaceable, because my beautiful wife gave them to me as gifts. That being said, our paperwork proving "our lives" is important , like pics as well, is important. The most important things to us, however, are our babies. First, my wife, then our babies, meaning all our pets. Our kids are all grown, with beautiful families, so our pets are our babies. To me, they are family. So they are important. If you have your loved ones, your home is where you hang your hat. By the grace of God, that will be. I sincerely hope and pray for Gods blessings for you and yours and for so many that lost so much. Take care
Tim-so glad to hear that you haven't lost any of your precious guitars and gear! Continued good luck to you and yours in this very alarming situation in LA. Please take care and God Bless!
Tim, thanks for checking in. I'm so relieved your situation is good for the time being , and the fire has not descended down the hill. Endless thanks to all those fighting these fires. God bless !
Tim, praying for you, your family and all around you for safety during this time. Praying for the families that lost everything during this extremely tragic circumstances. Thank you for allowing us to see and hear from you and know you are safe. God bless you.
"What's mine is yours" is a wonderful thing to be able to say to a friend, so glad that you and your precious instruments are safe. The first thing I would take from my house would be all my violins, and I have quite a few guitars too! Love from the Highlands of Scotland, take care Tim.
Glad you weren't affected, Tim. Thanks for the update. My friend, Kevin Sandbloom lost his house, studio, and instruments in Altadena, but most important saved his family and animals. He's a soulful singer and multi-instumentalist who has a bandcamp and a gofundme. Praying for all affected❣
Tim, we were so moved by your video. Prayers and well wishes your way. We are musicians from the PNW and have appreciated your videos so much over the years. Thank you for all that you do for guitarists....and for your kind and gentle personality.
Thx Tim…I live on Maui and went thru all of this a year and a half ago…..help is vital to everyone. Our experience is that the need and kindness are required for some time….
We lost our house in the Ash Wednesday bushfires here in Adelaide in 1983. I also lost a house in Canberra during the bushfires there in 2003. Losing everything was heartbraking but the most upsetting thing was seeing one of my favorite places in Canberra was burnt out (Mt Stromlo Observatory). So glad you're safe and your house is ok so far. Stay safe Tim.
Tim, Very glad you are safe from a fan. Love how you have opened your heart to others. The guitar community stands with you and others adversely impacted by these fires.
"What's mine is yours". True brotherly love - and so typical of your spirit and humanity, Tim. Continue to take good care of yourself and your loved ones.
Tim I’m so relieved to see and hear from you! I was very worried about you, your loved ones, your home, and all your well loved and used carefully curated gear guitars etc! Glad to hear that you, your loved ones, your home and all the other “important stuff” is in good hands and well taken care of! Better yet was hearing from you and seeing how well your coping, while remaining strong and having your priorities in exactly the right place! Your concern and obvious empathy for those that have suffered more than you is an inspiration and a lesson anyone can learn from! Thank you! Praying and hoping for the best for all of our neighbors down in OC and the LA area!
I'm so sorry Tim that you along with so many Californians are going through this devastating time. God speed the fires are contained and extinguished and prayers to you all.
Thanks for sharing, Tim. Glad you are alright. I’m sorry you are being put through this, but you have a very good outlook. Wishing your friends the strength to overcome once the emergency passes - with friends like you offering them everything you own, they will start to rebuild once the time to start that process begins.
Tim, I have watched your videos for a long time. I don't think I have ever commented. I am glad that you were spared. Thank you for the update. God bless you and your wife.
Man, I am so sorry for you and everyone that has had to deal with this frightening tragedy. Thank you for the update, and stay safe! It's too late, perhaps, for the best possible outcome, but wishing you and everyone affected by the fires courage, patience, and eventually, peace.
Watching the news reports from the UK it's easy to just see the fires as "another awful news story" but hearing first-hand testimony of the precarious nature of the horror makes it very real indeed. Best wishes.
Just for perspective, so far about 12,000 homes have been damaged or destroyed in the California fires. Hurricane Helene damaged or destroyed 125,000 homes in North Carolina.
Tim, Glad hear that you are safe and well. Our prayers go out to all those impacted by this horrific event. As noted, things can be replaced, life is precious.
Been a long time subscriber. We've never met, but you're channel is a calming refuge when the day is long and helps to take my mind off the day to day suck that happens with "life." So that being said, from a long time subscriber and fan of your playing, very glad you and your wife are safe. As well as your home. You have the right attitude about things are things and home is where "you land" and as long as you have your loved ones, you make the best of it and start over. Best of luck, stay safe.
What a sad situation for the thousands affected by this turn of events. Your playing has been a source of joy for me since the very beginning and I'm glad you and you're family are doing well. Lots of strength going forward. Thanks Tim.
Thanks for the update, Tim. You were one of the first people I thought of when I first heard news about the fire. Glad your family and guitars are safe. I fully understand the thought process one goes through when choosing what to save and what to leave behind. I lived in Tujunga during the Station Fire in 2009, and was evacuated three times in a week. (They let us back into our homes a few hours after each evacuation.) During the first evacuation, I got everything important to me moved off-site (including guitars), where it stayed until a couple of weeks later when any danger had passed.
Thank you for the update Tim - I'm glad to hear that you and your family are safe, that's the important thing! I hope this nightmare devastation ends soon and thanks to all the brave souls working to stop the fires and risking their lives.
Great report Tim with so much sorrow. I’m a worship (unpaid) musician, guitar, drums etc. And yes, especially as we age we really take more stock in what’s really important. At 62 I never thought I would be feeding the birds and enjoying life but seems more we appreciate what great spirit in the sky has bestowed upon us? How things change perspective. Live watching you in Beato’s channel. Great musician! Wish I had half your talent! His Bless! JD- from Dixieland SC
Tim, I am so grateful you and your family are safe. I understand how stressful this situation is. Makes it difficult to concentrate. I heard Jesse that makes King Tone pedals lost his house. My heart goes out to all of you in California dealing with these fires. I hope they can get this under control.
Tim, thank you for the update. I'm so happy that you and your wife are safe from these terrible wildfires. The images you had shown of the fire on the crest of the nearby hill really brought the proximity and reality of the disaster home. I've followed your channel and always appreciated your great and thoughtful interviews, but only just now have subscribed. Good luck and stay safe.
Thanx Tim for sharing such a deep personal experience. Happy to hear that you've avoided the worse up until now. Hopes and prayers go out to those that were not so fortunate.
Tim, so glad you and your family are SAFE. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and giving us an update. Continued prayer for you and everyone.❤️🙏🏻🎧✝️
Tim, i hope all goes well for you. You have a very generous heart...i really appreciate the selfless way you share your guitar skills, and I'm pleased you have been able to at least protect yourselves. Our hearts here go out to all the people who have lost their homes . The pain is unimaginable. Good luck
Tim, God bless you and those around you that have been victims of the brutal fires. Our hearts and prayers go out to you and your family and friends! Thank you for all the beautiful music and when this is over keep creating!
I am so glad you, your wife and all that you hold dear are ok. I really enjoy your videos, they have been a huge help to me in my own guitar playing. Thanks again and stay safe!
I am so sorry you have had to endure this catastrophe. I have been watching your videos for a while now and it is so refreshing to see such a classy guy doing well in the music business, even when surrounded by "less classy folks" in an industry which does not seem to reward good behavior. Take care of family and friends. You have your priorities correct. Lost a few guitars to flooding a few years back, and yes, they can be replaced - if not literally, at least everyone is still around to get over it. Take care and keep up the great work.
I had been thinking about your location over the last few days. I am so happy that you are safe and well. I can only imagine the chaos and devastation going on around you Tim. Thank you for this update.
I'm right around the corner from you, Tim, and you were very kind when I introduced myself at Norm's once. My gear contingency is rather similar yours and I hope you stay safe and as sane as possible given what we're going through.
Thanks for the video update. I've had you on my mind this last week, hoping that you somehow managed to avoid the disaster others have been forced to endure. Our hearts to out to those who lost their homes. I couldn't imagine... Take care and be safe.
Hi Tim, Thanks for the update and so glad to hear that you and your family are ok, in the big scheme of things… Just wanted to echo the thoughts of so many others and wish you all the best from a fellow muso here in Oz And again, as many others have also said, I admire and appreciate all that you’ve done and continue to do for the music community at large and all that you give and have given us over the years Thoughts are with you🙏❤️ Peace and love brother and Kia Kaha (stay strong)
I'm happy for you and your family Tim. I'm relieved that nobody, in your family is hurt physically by this catastrophe. Lessons learned & life goes on. Please stay safe.
Mr Pierce, We all deeply appreciate you, in what you offer, and how that has affected our lives, individually and collectively. That aside, you sir are human first, and that makes you a class act, through and through. Stay safe, good sir.
Tim, From the other side of the pond, all the best to you and your friends and loved ones. Horrible time for all of you. I (like many others I'm sure ) will be watching out for updates but what matters is you and your family are SAFE!
Hi Tim,sssoooo pleased to see you and hear you. You have been in my thoughts. It was inspiring to see you standing there and being so positive and philosophical amongst such a catastrophe. I’m going on the masterclass to reminisce. Best wishes,Chris Hutchison,perth,Australia.
Glad to see you and yours are safe! Appreciate your wisdom about gear vs. lives. Thank you for sharing the charity links. Stay safe and thank you for this thoughtful first--person report!
Really pleased to see this update from Tim!! I don’t know him, never met him (never even likely to meet him), but it genuinely feels like he’s a personal acquaintance after following his work for so many years so I’ve been keeping an eye out for news about him. So sad to hear about the great Bob Clearmountain though. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected.
Am so glad you and your home and studio have gotten through the fires safely and agree that we need to find ways to help those who have lost almost everything. Prayers to all the victims, and their families. At least music helps heal

Yes indeed... You can 'Like' guitars ..You cannot 'love ' guitars... You can only love people.
@@DaveDeFrancesco Your stuff is your history. You lose a part of you when you lose or sell cherished posessions. Its not selfish to say that.
A house is shelter; a home is love.
Glad you and your wife are safe.
This is so true
I'm never gonna have a home. Do you think you're better than me?
@@James-if3kc Ummm, no. I'm saying there's a difference between having a home filled with love rather than an oppulant shelter filled with loneliness and stuff.
@ All I have is loneliness and I will never have love. Again, do you think you're better than me?
Tim, I am so relieved that you and your family are safe. Hope things get back to normal as soon as possible. Best wishes from the UK!
I couldn't have said it better and may I add my best wishes too, also from the UK. So good to know that you're OK Tim and massive respect and gratitude to the emergency services at the sharp end of all this.
What more can I say? Best wishes from Austria!

Best wishes and fingers crossed from Germany❤
Best wishes and continued good luck from an American living in Portugal!
I only know of Tim thru Rick Beato. Tim you have always come accross as the most genuine decent dude in the world. Thank you for checking in
I am so sick of hearing about Rick Beato.
"What's mine is yours..." what a true friend you are Tim! Stay safe brother.
Even if he never takes you up on it, those are some very comforting words for anyone in such a horrible situation.

Just wanted to echo the thoughts of so many others and wish you all the best from a fellow muso here in Oz
And again, as many others have also said, I admire and appreciate all that you’ve done and continue to do for the music community at large and all that you give and have given us over the years
Thoughts are with you🙏❤️
Peace and love brother and Kia Kaha (stay strong)
I'm happy for you and your family Tim. I'm relieved that nobody, in your family is hurt physically by this catastrophe. Lessons learned & life goes on. Please stay safe.
Mr Pierce,
We all deeply appreciate you, in what you offer, and how that has affected our lives, individually and collectively.
That aside, you sir are human first, and that makes you a class act, through and through.
Stay safe, good sir.
Tim, From the other side of the pond, all the best to you and your friends and loved ones. Horrible time for all of you. I (like many others I'm sure ) will be watching out for updates but what matters is you and your family are SAFE!
Hi Tim,sssoooo pleased to see you and hear you. You have been in my thoughts. It was inspiring to see you standing there and being so positive and philosophical amongst such a catastrophe. I’m going on the masterclass to reminisce. Best wishes,Chris Hutchison,perth,Australia.
Glad to see you and yours are safe! Appreciate your wisdom about gear vs. lives. Thank you for sharing the charity links. Stay safe and thank you for this thoughtful first--person report!
Really pleased to see this update from Tim!! I don’t know him, never met him (never even likely to meet him), but it genuinely feels like he’s a personal acquaintance after following his work for so many years so I’ve been keeping an eye out for news about him.
So sad to hear about the great Bob Clearmountain though. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected.
Am so glad you and your home and studio have gotten through the fires safely and agree that we need to find ways to help those who have lost almost everything. Prayers to all the victims, and their families. At least music helps heal
