Gretsch have been sleepers for a while so it's always fun to see guys discover just how good they are. They look bloody great too.
They're the best kept secret in the industry. While Gibson and Fender get most of the pub/attention, Gretsch to me are currently building as good, if not better quality instruments, especially in the mid to lower price ranges.
Yeah. I was floored when i started looking into their lineup. I just couldn't get excited about the look of many other hollow-body makes except for PRS, but I wanted a double-cutaway. And PRS is a price point above what I was willing to shell out right now ( but not never...) so went to my local shop and they had 4 Gretsch models hanging up. I kinda mosied (moseyed??) over, and... It was like a light going on. The fit and finish of their guitars is phenomenal. So i went home and played Devil's advocate.
Almost nobody re-sells a Gretsch. That was my first clue I was into something.
Then i returned to my local shop. The SECOND I picked one up and got it plugged in, I just knew.
Now I am the proud owner of a 5622T Georgia Green. She should be here in a month or so
@@steveburke4609 Nice. When you know, you know.
And your not playing the same cookie cutter guitars. The Guild Newark St line has some very nice electrics for the price too.
@@steveburke4609 That Georgia Green is particularly gorgeous!
The more I watch your videos, the more I appreciate just what a fantastic player and all round nice guy you are, Tim. Your love of music and espy all things guitar shine thru with a modesty that belies your status in the guitar world. The blend of guitar nerdery with your fantastic knowledge of theory, mixed with a great on screen presentation style make for compelling viewing. Thanks for all you provide.
Wow, thanks...I will try and stay in this lane.....appreciate it !!
Completely agree with you, dude. I love Tim's videos for exactly the reasons you have stated. 😎
Watching it makes me realise how rubbish and one dimensional I am.
Like wise just great playing and joy of playing.
@@timpierceguitar I would add that something else I get from your videos is how strongly you hold to your values. You've spoken a number of times of how you always aim to give of your best in your session playing, no matter how the artist behaves. Wise words I take on board - not as a session guitarist (well, only in my dreams 😅) but as someone who also sells a service to others and strives to give of his best.
I love listening to Tim play. His music is so fluid and melodic. Plus, he seems like an ordinary Joe, just with amazing talent! What I wouldn’t give to spend some time jamming with him and maybe enjoy a few brews together. Rock on Tim!!
I wore this album out on cassette. I love those guitars. Why are you doing this to me, Tim? I have Christmas bills to pay off! LOL
I did that too, man what an album that was!.
I just bought a Gretsch Electromatic Double Jet. She's a beauty. I love those clean looking fretboards with the crescent sliver fret inlays on the edge.
Gretsch seem to do the best bang for buck guitars around. I bought the G5222 a couple of years ago and the quality to price ratio is super impressive.
Hearing the chorus to “Seeds” on the radio as a kid made me a Beatles fan before I even knew what that meant. The “Hello, Goodbye” progression, the little “Penny Lane” horn lines…it sowed the seeds of Beatlemania in my 9-year old soul.
It’s always such a pleasure to hear and watch you play! I learn so much with each video and from the Master Class!
I agree Tim. I loved this record from the moment I heard it when it was released. Not only the chord choices, the progressions but also the lyrics too.
I bought a Gretsch G619T FT Players in Red Sparkle and I get all giddy at how easy it plays! And the tone(s) are beautiful and vast! The red sparkle finish is just wonderful!
Thank you Tim for the lifetime of great memories and your awesome Master Class!
I think everyone here would agree... It wouldn't matter if it was a $100.00 pawn shop guitar or a super expensive collectable from Norm's, in the hands of Tim Pierce it's GOING to sound amazing! Like a woodworker of years gone by, a master of his trade can make magic happen even with a single chisel and knowledge. Thanks Tim for always providing great content and sharing your vast wealth of knowledge and experience!
Awesome playing, Tim! Love the split screen rhythm parts!
Those Gretsch’s look as gorgeous as they sound!
Happy New Year, Tim. Here's to another year of your buttery, smooth vids and shreds.
Thanks Tim, I always appreciate your work on these presentations! Merry Christmas and God Bless!
Lovely playing as always! Your duet was full of smiles.
Thank you Tim for your review. I have purchased 2 Gretsch Electromatics in 2021, both below $1K each, and am also very happy with the build quality and sound. They are both keepers in my guitarsenal.
Beautiful guitars, and... beautiful playing per da usual! Thanks for the chances to win one! Happy New Year!
Really great playing!!! I have the Gretsch G5422TG, a quilted red finish, absolutely love it!!
Totaly amazing!! I love the positive energy your videos transmit to you audience.
Love your videos Tim. Happy New Year
First saw Tim on UK TV doing a mime along performance in 1983 of 'Souls' with Rick Springfield from Living in Oz which I then purchased on the strength of that appearance on a popular late afternoon show here in England, and became an instant Tim Pierce fan from that point, his lead solos on Souls made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. Although a hard rock and metal lead player of just over 50 years now, started age nine and mostly play Floyd equipped guitars, these Gretch models are gorgeous.
There are not many people that have that much enthusiasm in their playing but you certainly exude joy every time you play. Wonderful stuff. And these guitars are absolutely great. I would be thrilled to have either of them. They would be perfect for many styles of music. I am currently learning a lot of the Beatles songs and these guitars would sound great for all of the licks and chords that George played. Great video as always! Love your touch and tone Tim!!!
Hi Tim! Great video! I've always loved this song since it was new. Sounds even better with your playing on it! Thanks for the chance at winning this great looking and sounding guitar! George
Wow, 2 beautiful instruments, and your amazing range of knowledge to make them sing. I appreciate the insight, heard the song numerous times, never heard the background voice of the old movie you showed and never realized that many changes in the song. Nice
Tim has quickly become one of my favourite players and TH-camrs if I’m ever feeling down all I have to do is put on one of his videos and the absolute joy that Tim exudes through his attitude and playing that comes though his videos is an instant anti depressant keep up the great content you help some of us out more than you know
That joy is contagious isn't it.
1000% agree. I watch mostly for the first 90 or so, during which Tim is always virtuosic and joyful. I learn so much about solo melody from hearing him play - an absolute master.
He has played on hundreds of albums. We all grew up listening to him.
I used to love playing over 'Seeds Of Love' back in the early 90's when it came out. I play a '76 Roc-Jet which feels and sounds great too, has a low action with vintage frets and TV Jones pups.
Another great vid!
Just watched this again. Sooo cool! Such a great track, and really great solos. Totally fabulous!! And Happy New Year to you all.
Nice to see guitar bringing someone joy this time of year! Thanks Tim!
Great episode, Tim. I have a beautiful 2015 (last year before treble bleed and center block) Walnut and chrome Gretsch 5422 with Bigsby. I really like the thinner body
and the nice weight. But those "Blacktop Filtertrons" (like on #2) really keep notes separated beautifully and chimey when mildly overdriven. Very sweet and organic.
Thank you for sharing you talent with many of us who have been "guessing" for years how to play what we hear in our heads.
Thank you Tim! I'm a big Gretsch fan. You never fail to inspire me and your playing blows me away every time. Absolutely love your work!
Thank you for what you do Tim. Happy holidays to you and your family!!
Tim your playing is other level you make it look so easy and your love for what you’re doing/playing is awesome! You could make a one string broom sound good 🤌 loved the sounds on the Gretch! Thanks for doing what you do💯
Thanks for all the great playing and information in your videos. Plus, all the eye candy, those awesome guitars.
Hi Tim - Wonderful playing as always! I'm really enjoying your Masterclass - there's so much to inspire players at every level and your presentation and explanation of everything is just fantastic. That big hollow-body Gretsch looks and sounds great. I've entered the draw and wish good luck to everyone else who does too. Someone's in for a real treat! Thanks so much for donating it as a prize.
Great Tune to feature these beautiful guitars. Always an informative pleasure watching your videos
I had to comment. Tim, this is such a great Video. Editing! , playing over the song, talking thru the chords and feelings , to choosing the Gutar to fit the song style and vibe. Thank you.❤️. You make this drummer a MUCH better guitar player. 🙂🤘. Cheers , and New Years
I just got the Airline Silver G5420 and I'm blown away with the playability and tone. Absolutely love this guitar.
I came across this video again today. I chose this exact Gretsch because of your video Tim. And I love my Gretsch! Thank you for such great videos!
amazing sound out of that Tim! What a fantastic gift you are giving away!.
Love your approach brother... Never boring and I always come away with something I can use. Keep up the great work
I have the same one your giving away and I was shocked how it lloked,sounded,looked,, and everything,unplugged it even sounds amazing !!!
Love your playing ... Happy New Year's Eve from France !!!
It's always a pleasure to watch Tim Play. He gets such a kick out of making good music ... like he's eternally grateful for the talent and accepting of all the hard work he put into becoming such a great musician. His positivity jumps out of the screen.
Hi Tim, love your channel. I was fortunate enough to see Tears do this song live when the album was released. Truly fantastic. And Oleta Adams was playing and singing. Pure gold!!!
Excellent playing and look at these Gretsch guitars. I fell in love with the G5420T and have a new one on order now. Awesome channel...now subbed!
always amazing, thank you Tim for enlightenment, sharing your talent and time. It aspires all of us who play to reach just a bit further each day.
Tim Pierce just noodling around is better music than about 99% of what I hear on the radio these days!
Nothing like a Gretsch! I have the white version of your #2 orange and love it. Added a rollerbridge, Lizard Spit nut sauce and "Squishy Spring" for the Bigsby. Plays and sounds just like a $3000 guitar!
The seeds of love... Man, the whole album was such a milestone for me! Thank you so much!
You knocked it out of the park with this video! Great job.
Merry Christmas, Buddy!!! Nice shoutout to the neighbors for the decorations.
Love your channel, great music, great tones, great vibes just a lot of positive energy. Thanks!
Great stuff. We share some old friends. CJ and then I was in a band with Leonard's guitar player from Trillion in Chicago Frank Barbalace. Great player too. Great memories. I am 67 now. Seems like yesterday. Followed your career and Luke's too. Incredible.
This song and the album as a whole transports me back to my youth. One of my all time favourite albums that I played to death. Thanks for making this video.
I’ve also been on a Gretsch kick for the past 2 years and now own 3 players edition (2 Duo Jets and a Broadkaster Jr), with my black duo jet now my main gigging guitar. I used to take a Les Paul and Tele to most gigs. Now I take a Gretsch instead of the LP and hardly ever put it down. The Gretsch just covers so much ground but I wouldn’t be playing one if it wasn’t for the players edition. Fender has done an amazing job making these classic guitars so much better. The necks are so consistent, are just the right size and shape, and they play so well it’s hard to believe it’s a Gretsch.
Thanks for the recommendation Tim, I'll check it out!
Thank you highlighting some great Gretsch guitars. Of course they sound terrific in your hands. The G6620T is a beast of a Gretsch - love that model. So disappointed when I didn't receive the email telling me I had won the G5420TG. I have since ordered a G5422TG - walnut stain. Yeah you guessed it - similar to the Country Gentleman I owned in the early 70's. The one that got away. It should arrive soon and costs about 3K less the G6620T. Keep up the wonderfully informative and entertaining videos Tim. You are the man.
Love your channel Tim. I’m convinced you could play anything and make it sound incredible. Beauty of a Gretsch as well.
Cool! I’ve had quite a few of the pro line Gretsches and I love ‘em - never tried the cheaper lines, but if they’re this good I’m sold!
Another great video Tim. Yes, I'm amazed at the quality of the guitars coming out of Asia these days. Not just Gretsch, but many others as well. The playability at these price points is incredible. And many of them arrive just smoking good without needing all of the tweaks we have been doing for years.
I wore out my old roommates TFF Live cassette. Great Album. Tim I enjoy you videos love your playing your vibe I watching you navigate the guitar effortlessly and seeing it being the joy to your face is infectious. Plus the info I learn about gear. One of my favorite TH-camrs fo show!
I bought a 5420 three weeks ago, based on this and other videos and getting my hands on one at GC. Amazing! Thank you!
Always a pleasure to watch and learn from you😎
Great playing and demo. Love both of those guitars.
I have that exact same orange Gretsch, bought one on a whim at Guitar Center while waiting on my cheesesteak next door. I need to take it in to fine tune the setup but it feels, sounds and plays great. Sounds awesome thru my brand new Vox AC30 with blue Alnicos.
Tim - totally agree, "Sowing" is a surprising and wildly terrific song. Great video and love seeing you out walking in the Valley.
one question - do you do your own setup or do you have someone you would recommend?
Great video and amazing tone like always!!
Wow! Thanks for this, Tim! wonderful playing and demo - love your enthusiasm (well-deserved!) for these gems! Last spring I got a Gretsch Streamliner Jr. w/Bigsby. Its a double-cut centerblock semi-hollowbody with Broad'tron pups but only 13" across! Very light weight! Incredibly well-built, appointed and finished (Indonesia). Like you, I dropped the action WAY down - no buzz, straight neck, put on locking tuners (Grover rotos - drop-in replacement), put on a roller bridge & softer trem spring from Reverend - also drop-in (total $30) and lastly, just put on a set of Thomastik-Infeld flatwounds. OMG - she's now my #1. Total $ less than $600. Getting a great guitar is awesome. Knowing it was such a high value proposition only adds to the glee! ...AND it's a Gretsch!
Incredible playing. Thanks.
Love my Gretsch (2 of them) guitars. Bought a 2215 P 90 at GC for
I just discovered your channel because I follow Rick Beato. I thoroughly enjoyed the RB video and everything I have watched on your channel so far. Looking forward to checking them all out.
I agree, Tim, it's hard to argue! Nice work.
Was at the Circa Museum store the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville and got to see the 1954 Chet Atkins special edition. $3,699, but well worth that cha-ching. The store carries the whole family, and so many of the others were in the $500 range that I was also blown away. No way to bring one home this weekend, but it's on my list for a followup.
Awesome Tim! Beautiful guitars, beautiful player, and great person, musician, and video!! :-)
I was recently blown away by the 65220! Still can’t believe the feel and sound. What a beautiful beast!
Mahalo Tim!!! Great song, loved it when it came out back in the day!
I have the previous generation 5420, with the block inlays in the neck, but this one would be a nice addition. Tasty playing as always, Tim.
Just got my first Gretsch guitar as a birthday present to myself. Under $1000. I got it set up by my local luthier, and plugged it in. The sounds is astounding and plays like a dream. Very happy and loved your video touting this brand. Love your vlog! Keep up the great work.
Oh boy, that sweetness at 4:20! Hope you have a great holiday, Tim!
Your opening riff was sublime this vid Tim!
Been playing Gretsch guitars for decades. I have three. Two different Anniversaries, and a DuoJet. One of most played guitars is one of my 2 Annies and my Duo jet is a mainstay in my recording studio....paired with my Hiwatt, or my Bassman, a total tone machine. Great video. Thanks and Happy Holidays...
Very cool thanks for the comment
Thanks for the chances!! Love that Gretsch sound!!
Thank you Tim, for the review and the chance to win. I have been eyeballing the less expensive 2420 for the last two years or so. There is something about a full hollow body Gretsch that appeals to me.
Sounding great! I have a Gretch Electromatic with single coils, and does have a sound of its own.
I have loved every minute of playing my Electromagnetic 5420TG in Fairlane Blue for the past 2 years. If you mess with the pickguard, you can get a nice lil growl.
I always dream of Owning a Gretsch HollowBody Guitar. That G5420 is Stunning and sounds Amazing. Thankyou for your awesome honest Review/Demo. Love Gretsch. Cheers
I've had guitar #2 on my wish list for a while. It is a beauty. Glad to hear that it meets your quality standards!
Great video Tim! I'm inspired to practice like I used to when I was in my early twenties! And no kidding about the "new" Gretschs. About two years ago, I bought a Streamliner 2420. An ad for the guitar popped up while I was browsing; I looked at the price (about $500) and thought "Looks really cool, but there's got to be something wrong with it if it's that inexpensive." Still, I moseyed on down to my local big box music store where they had some in stock. I couldn't believe how well it played and sounded, and the high level of workmanship. I wanted a different finish, so they had to have it shipped in. And to my great surprise and delight, it was beautifully set up right out of the box. It's been a delight.
Lovely playing and sound. 🎸👌
This is one of my desert island discs, I bought this on cassette when it came out and played it on repeat until the cassette literally died. I am a big fan of TFF, they write such interesting songs, both musically and lyrically. There aren't many bands that do this kind of thing anymore and that's such a shame. Thank you for featuring them in this video, Tim!
The sound quality and soundstage of the recording is also incredible. It's been #1 on my list of stereo demo discs since the day it was released.
I remember that song coming out. It was lush. Great to hear you playing over it. You’re the best Tim!
Thanks :)
Hi, you are such a good guitarist, pro-master!, like a year ago my brother wanted a semi hollow, and when he went to a store, he told me, that the gretsch that he played there, was kind of plastic-ish comparing to the classic vibe starcaster, natural, (most under rated semi hollow) that he purchased at the end, but the Gretschs, that I have been watching in you tube, look so good, and those pickups are great. Take care, happy holidays and thank you for sharing.
When I am down, lose my bounce, haven't played guitar for a while, or need a 'friendly face' Tim Pierce just gives me a lift. You'll never meet me in real life, but thankyou for just being an awesome person and a kind hearted man!
Hey Tim,
They are both beauties. I encourage anyone who has never touched a Gretsch to DO IT NOW. I am a beginner and am actually buying a G5422TG Walnut Stain right now, if it is discontinued I am getting a G6522T Georgia Green. I decided to treat myself to a Christmas gift. I had never even looked at Gretsch until 5 weeks ago and as soon as I played one I gave up looking elsewhere. I played a very similar model to the G5422TG and as soon as a note rang out I knew I had to have one of their guitars. I looked at the Nashville DC you played but it is out of my range right now.
Tears for Fears hands down one of the most underrated bands of their era. huge hits but I never truly appreciated their sound until I started learning theory (you helped!).
Hope you had a great Christmas, cheers from Halifax Canada. Love your videos.
Tim, thanks for the ever-contagious smile, brother. I recently inherited a 5420T in Fairlane Blue, and it has truly made a Gretsch-convert out of me. Reminds me (a little, anyway) of the Guild Starfire IV my dad used to play all of Chet Atkins' great stuff. I 2nd your Gretsch emotion
Thanks for these demos! I purchased a Streamliner version of the hollow body without the Bigsby for $450, which was only okay until I replaced the bridge with a Tone Pro and replaced the tuners with Grover locking Rotomatics and now the instrument feels more like it’s worth $1,000. The body and neck were already solid but the difference from the upgrades has really been amazing!
Sounding good Tim! Maybe a Gretsch is what I've been waiting for 👍🤠
I have three Gretsch's... a Rancher, a G5120, and I just bought a Duo Jet. All awesome guitars. I just wish I could play them like Tim!
Hey Tim, recently found you thru Rick Beato. I'm a keys player but I have to say I love your playing and watch your channel regularly... anything musical gets my interest. This vid is extra special cos this track is one of my faves too 😎 Cheers brother.
To be on both Rick Beato's and Five Watt World's short list of great players speaks very highly.
Sounds fantastic. Excellent song choice to showcase
Nice playing! I love the second one!
❤️ Merry Christmas Tim Pierce
