lyrical. there is no other way to describe Tim's playing. a master craftsman at the height of his powers, it's a real pleasure to see the joy he derives in passing on this knowledge. thanks, man.
Man, this is an amazing time for being a guitarist. All these informations were barely available when I first started playing guitar in the late 90’s. You had to know people in the (local) industry and/or read guitar magazines. Now you just turn on your computer and here’s Tim. One of LA finest. Do we always really appreciate the value these videos? Thanks Tim, I know I’m better musician because of your videos!
Tim Pierce is a monster and must have played 24x7 for about 100 years - each time I hear some nice guitar on a record I always happen to see that he played it. Thank you Tim for your contribution to the music industry and for sharing your experience 😎👍❤️
This is possibly the greatest segment on tone I’ve ever seen, simple and extremely effective. I’ll have to change my approach to picking, but the few hours I’ve tried it have made a huge difference. Hearing the notes bloom puts a smile on my face. When I picked hard and heard the “choking” Tim mentioned, it was eye opening. Thank you sir.
As always, jam packed with great insights, tips, sound and playing. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge with the community in this format! Love your videos.
This is very important for making a fleshed out tone, and that's what I believe we all strive for. Amazing! Although I do wonder, will you ever make anymore stories on the tracks you played guitar on in the near future?
Mr. Pierce, you continue to joyfully impart a lifetime of learning and experience with such an open heart. Being part of your youtube is like having (Name All Your Guitar Heroes) as part of the family, patiently instructing us, who we can go to or ask right in our home! Respect!!!
Absolutely love the tone you have on this video! Plus after 55 years of playing thanks to you I have discovered the mystery of soft and hard picking in a solo. Never to old to learn. Thanks
Everyone watching will need to decide whether they should follow Tim's advice, or not. But, with 1,222 song recording credits from at least 1974 - 2019 (Allmusic Apr. 2020), pretty sure Tim's advice has stood the test of time. 😉
Right and what songs? I mean the songs represent some of the great recordings in history. Unbelievable bio and catalogue! Gem of a man and and gifted teacher as well
Awesome video Tim. This is so helpful in achieving that amazingly tasteful sound that is always a hallmark of your playing. Loved the Les Paul too. There's just something almost indefinably special about the sound of these guitars when compared with say a PRS to my ears. Also thanks for the bit on rushing ahead when playing too loud compared with the backing music. I always do this and it is so encouraging that it also happens to a player of your stature.
Tim, the best thing about this video is watching the smile on your face when you cut loose in that solo at about 2:38. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and your talent with us.
This video explains how EVH played with one knob. I always wondered that when I was a kid but learned it by playing in a band. Have the amp volume up but control it with your hands.
Tim I love your video's so much. I've never gained so much guitar knowledge in such a short time, my playing has improved so much because of you and , I just want to thank you. your a great guitar player and, teacher all the best
This is one of greatest, eye opening, enlightening (not so) secret I’ve came across. I first heard it when you were talking to Rick Beato about it. Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks ! Your playing is always so tasty and your advices eyes opening. Discovering your channel few weeks ago has already had a positive influence on my playing. I think you have reshaped my idea of a guitar hero, and you are damn high on my list.
This looks like a different Les Paul than Tim traded/sold to Norman's rare guitars. Tim's LP was guitar of the day on 4/14/2020. Lemmo did a great job playing it too!
The happiest guitar player on TH-cam (Maybe tied with Tommy Emmanuel). Love the smiles and pure joy when you play Tim. 😁

lyrical. there is no other way to describe Tim's playing. a master craftsman at the height of his powers, it's a real pleasure to see the joy he derives in passing on this knowledge. thanks, man.
He has a fantastic combination of melodic and technical skill, then he ices the cake by having fun.
yes! Tim creates melodic MUSIC and just happens to use a guitar most of the time as the tool to bring it into the world. legendary.
yeah. how does he find those notes? mind boggling. that is one of the reasons I am visiting this channel.
It’s hard to adequately express how important and helpful this lesson is. Thank you for hitting the bullseye of both educating and entertaining!
I told my wife that watching your channel was going to increase my size and sustain. When I grabbed the guitar she was disappointed.
Too good bro...
lol😂
she probably suspected there were strings attached
@@BrianGallagher 😂
Well, Austin Powers can recommand you an expander device.
Wife would like me being of lesser size and sustain
A true Master. How fortunate we are to have lesson's. Much appreciated.

Tim's Bob Ross moment: "Picture your pick as being the wing of a butterfly"
🦋🔈🤟 so inspiring man!! Thanks again!
Man Tim I hope your really as happy as you project. I get a big ole smile every time I see you Bro.Thanks a Million Tim.

@@cantemirash That naturally emanates from people who love what they do. :)
Thats why playing with fingers makes everything so expressive!
The great and powerful, Tim Pierce!! Thanks for the lessons.

Tim always looks like he's having the time of his life playing the intro solos =)

Hello and thank you from France, Tim. Take care!!
Really beautiful guitar Tim! Thanks for another great lesson.

This video explains how EVH played with one knob. I always wondered that when I was a kid but learned it by playing in a band. Have the amp volume up but control it with your hands.
Thank you Tim, very helpful advice, I'm guilty of not paying attention to my pick dynamics so this has prompted me to address it!
Tim I love your video's so much. I've never gained so much guitar knowledge in such a short time, my playing has improved so much because of you and , I
