Andy Timmons absolutely hands me my ass on my own guitar, and I don't even feel bad about it.

- Back when I did the Paul Gilbert guitar Camp. I let Andy Timmons play my telecaster, and he totally handed me my ass on a platter! Sit and listen to a master! Forgive me for all of us going crazy while listening!
I'm pretty sure one of the guys really whooping it up while Andy played was Mike Keneally, who was also hanging out in the room with us.
Looks like I need to add - the room "curriculum" was for us to take turns playing leads over tracks. The instructor was hoping for us to verbally encourage each other while we were playing. We had no idea Andy would come in, so when he sat down with my guitar, everyone was still in that mindset of "encouraging" the performance. This was a low volume room to showcase your playing to peers. You can hear people simply chatting over the volume of the music.
Due to the fact that certain TH-cam viewers can't watch this for what it is, and feel the need to leave nasty comments, I've changed the settings for commenting. You're more than welcome to pay the entry fee to go to one of these events if you feel that strongly about how the folks in my video were responding. Sorry to those of you who can watch it and appreciate the playing.
Edited to add - Andy is playing my Crook custom telecaster, and he's using one of the house Boss Katana amps that the camp supplied for all of us. No external pedals!

Andy just proven. If you are good, you sound good with any guitar. If you're Andy Timmons, you always sound like Andy Timmons no matter what guitar or amp you're running through.
Admittedly, my guitar is pretty high end and plays amazing, but at some point this evening he picked up one of the Ibanez Mikro guitars one of the other campers had, and absolutely kicked butt on that one as well.
Plus, he's one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. Just a really great player and great person.
"I don't know those notes." Loved that haha.
I think that may have been Mike Keneally, he was standing behind me while I was filming this! I know he was interjecting a lot!
Thanks for checking out my vid! I watch your stuff all the time!
For the record, when you do the videos about how awful the tab books we were forced to learn from, that's a personal favorite. I don't know how many times I've had students that bring them, and I show them the correct way, but they will still lock into using the book!
That tone, the melodies he's creating, the phrasing, the dynamics, this is why I love Andy so much
I took a handful of lessons from Andy in the mid 90s and he transformed my playing, giving me some confidence, but also pinpointing things I needed to work on. On top of that, he is truly the coolest and most genuine guy on the planet.
Must be nice to have a guitar blessed by Andy. This is what's meant when they say "tone is in the fingers."
Andy is such a soulful player. Technique isn’t the goal it’s just the ability to play the notes he’s searching for.
But you have to have really good technique to be able to find the notes he’s searching for in such a fluid and musical way
Love to see the people enjoying the music that much. Music is an universal language that bring people close to each other.
We think of what we want to hear, then we teach our fingers how to match our mind. It's the artist that turns an object into musical magic. Play what you feel.
Exactly, I’ve been trying to listen to what I write then sing the melody it needs and learn it back on guitar..
and also practice playing guitar at the same my mind is singing/improvising and informing the hands of the Melody through guitar,
And, I always like when guitarists sing along with the notes they’re playing! 🎸 rock on 🙏
Andy is the giant killer on guitar! Melodic, Phasing and technique is just brilliant!
Music from heaven played by angels! 👍👍
He’s a master at the instrument .
the poster is gracious and humble, thanks for posting!
And that my friend is "MELODIC PLAYIN" ! It is song oriented melodic playing. The chosen notes, the tone, the phrasing all musical, melodic, and amazing. There was zero shredding scales in some sterile academic sound. Andy Timmons has the guitar sound that is creative and amazing to listen to. Sterile scale shredders just don't get this.
Agreed. I try to play like that. I guess it's been a blessing that I can't shred with a darn, lol.
Beautiful phrasing!! 👏
Andy is brilliant! Remember seeing him doing a demo with his signature Ibanez and it floored me . He’s such a nice guy too , hopefully see him over the pond here at some point 😀
Great guy,great player, I am so glad you got to see him do that up close. Unfamiliar instrument not a problem as you can see.
Amazing. Bit weird to have to struggle to hear what he was playing at times as people were shouting and talking over it. I get the vibe but man I was engrossed in what he was doing. Surprised people weren’t paying 100% attention !
exactly... that's why the guy that said he doesn't have those notes in him...because he won't shut the hell up and listen... : )
What a legend! Would have been better had they not spoken over the top of what was a magical moment!
Man Andy’s good. Those notes touched my soul.
Thank you so much for sharing 😃
The force is strong with this one
got to love Andy, one of the best!
Another true guitar genius!🤘
1:25 - 1:27 is freaky. Simple, but out of this world.
Our lead guitarist borrowed my back up guitar when he broke a string and this happened to me.
I never realised the thing sounded good till he played it.
Some people have it in spades.
Thank you for capturing this.
Fusion absolue, sublime ♥️
F-ing awesome!
Andy is top 5 for me of all time - thankful he's a Texan
:)
Gorgeous
Is no one going to talk about the tone of that Tele? 🔥
Amazing sounds and experience
That was nice! Very cool!
A MASTER of guitar,,,,,,,,,,................... A MASTER AT work...........................here's proof.,,,,,,,,,,like a river.
Beautiful!
Andy Timmons "Cry for You" live bootleg. Holy Fk!
kind of reminds me a little bit of walking on air by king crimson
Andy Timmons literally made Dan cry on That Pedal Show and they had to stop filming for a second. Literally. I don't even remember if he was playing in d minor when he done it. (I'm assuming he wasn't since Mick or myself didn't cry but still...) He's that good.
definitely looking that up!
Earlier in the day, Andy played a solo finger style rendition of Smile by Charlie Chaplin that had my wife in tears. He's truly an incredible player.
Andy Timmons always sounded good. Just give him a guitar.
Awesome!
That guitar sounds loaded with effects
Boss Katana with the gain up, a little reverb. No other effects on.
This is why we love to play. Bra-fucking-vo.
This is really entertaining.
HE IS A GREAT GUITAR PLAYER
Sublime
Go Andy!
Boss Katana for the win!! 👍🏼
sometimes people think i am soft because i use the beautiful, here though, beautiful, is the only word that fits!
Bendings from heaven
hahaha that one guy was like "hey you guys mind if I pop open a couple brews?"
Oh, there was way more than just one guy! Lol.
His guitar was like "who the f**k was that"!
“Ok, so, who’s next?”
The room:
subscibe worthy Jus!!!! thanks for posting this
Its not about technique, what amp or guitar, sure it helps when all those great. But its getting in that space/zone hearing music in your head and have the courage to go after it when performing for other people.
Amp is a boss Katana combo. The guitar is my Crook telecaster, with Florance pickups.
@@jbkubiak Just a general thought 😃
@@aleksik4028 sorry, I was half asleep and confused your post with one asking what amp he was using!
Are you Kevin Malone fron The Office??
What's the background song?
man, all i do is learn, play and watch guitar stuff, i knew this guy was said to be good but.... wtaf? this is other worldly, touch, taste, tone, dynamics, he just gave the entire room a musical brain orgasm lol.
Some people just have to be heard. They can’t just fucking wait until the end. They choose to be disrespectful, shout and talk and whoop while he’s playing because they want as many people as possible to hear them virtue signaling.
I explained why this was happening several times in the comments.
On wht amp he i playing? See the amp boxes in corner .
I helped Andy out one summer as one of his roadies in the mid 90’s. My back still hurts because of that stupid B3 organ with the bum legs
is this a song or a loop that was made at the time?
title of the masterpiece ? improvisation ?
Improv. The room was guys just taking turns jamming over backing tracks. The gentleman running the room wanted us all to encourage each other, which is why there's a lot of hooting and hollering. None of us expected Andy and Mike Keneally to come in and jam with us.
Not sure the dude with hat on backwards is looking at the guitar
Those katanas sound good
Could've done without the obnoxiously loud: "Oh yeahs", "yeahs" and "oh my gods".
Good stuff eh that's what I'm talking about
By right, since you were vanquished, it's his guitar now.
Andy hands most people their A$$ on a platter with a fork in it. Andy is an awesome player and a very humble guy. Nice guitar btw.
Anyone know what that. blue guitar is?
It was a Squire, I believe built as a Kurt Cobain tribute. May have been a jaguar? Can't recall the model of it.
@@jbkubiak Thanks I found it, it's their "paranormal" line
👍🙏👍👍👍👍🏿🙏🏿🙏🏻
Andy can get a gallon of milk out of a single note!
Modern day Jeff Beck!
He's got notes on there that I don't have.
Why is it necessary to scream and shout while he's playing? Disrespectful. Go nuts when he's done.
Yeah, that was a lot of the guys near me yelling, but in their defense that was kind of the vibe in the room. We were all taking turns jamming, and everyone was encouraging each other while they played. It did get a bit out of control, though. I think it was more pronounced over the phone because there were several guys standing behind me while I filmed this.
Its called hyping up your friend.
respectfully disagree - that's how actual enthusiastic players encourage each other (especially on stage - which admittedly, this is not). Have a great day ...
@@Peterbrendanalbert actually, most of the room is people from outside the United States. But thanks for making an assumption that was totally wrong.
You'd have a rough time in an actual blues club then. It ain't the opera, Karen.
it would make me blurt out whoops and hollers too! i can't help it if i feel something that deeply! ffs.. it's like god whispering in my ear or something lol!
What amp is he playing thru?
Boss Katana
OK Andy go to the head of the class & give that poor fellow his ass the platter & guitar back .!!!!!
It's Andy Timmons ....what did you expect .......
How can the other dudes sit there with a guitar in their lap? Just hang ‘em back on the wall after that improv class
What kind of guitar is that
Crook custom telecaster.
@@jbkubiak thank you
Sounds like David Gilmour
Funny bar you were at filled with people who had guitars disturbing the drunk folk?
I Still Think About You solo is his best work. 🤷🏻♂️
Funny your guitar didn't leap from Andy's hands and slap your face ! Lol mine would have!
It's a diatonic scale lol. E major. Easy to do that.
Okay, post a video of you playing, and we'll see how it compares to Andy's playing here. I'll wait...
@@CerealDust-nStuff I have tons of videos of my playing but what does that have to do anything? It's a fact. 🤷♂️
@@Fearzero - He played a little out of the diatonic scale but if it's "easy" then post a video of you playing better than Andy... that was my point.
No worries though.
@@CerealDust-nStuff Again, I have tons of videos online of my playing but that is a red herring. Also don't put words in my mouth goofball. I never said I was better than anyone.
There is a plethora of carbon copy shredders around......he's not one of them
The woman talks during the whole thing
Because it was an impromptu thing, and not a planned portion of the event.
Never sell that guitar. Lol
Oh, that's never happening! In fact, I have another Crook telecaster on the way in red paisley!
I could do without people always yelling out OMG, that was beautiful while a solo is happening. Its so obnoxious and distracting.
Thing is, this wasn't a show or something. It was a room of musicians taking turns playing, and Andy happened to show up. I gave him my guitar, and everyone got all excited. Because a bunch of the folks were behind me, it's much more noticeable on the video.
This isn’t a concert. Have some respect.
Thanks for your input. Also, thanks for not reading the explanation posted multiple times in the comments.
Very nice guitar, very annoying fan boy yelling behind camera.
About a dozen guys behind me yelling, so...
Yeah yeah, really great but dude, get a hair cut!
That is fucking great!
Perfekt!
Uhm. Andy is great. But that was just noodling and bending
Cool, thanks for your opinion.
