There is a LOT in this conversation. Feel free to take it in slowly. Watch it in small bits or binge the whole thing whatever works for you . Revisit it often if you enjoy it.
This is absolutely brilliant Tim, Thank you for this! Im about 20 mins in and already have so many new things to explore
"You should know how to play any chord in the progress with any note in the scale, because you never know when that note will be in the melody" - MIND BLOWN!!!! Thanks for doing this!
44:32 John: “I sit around and delight myself a lot” - It’s possible to do this every day for hours, on guitar, always discovering new angles on known stuff, or totally new stuff. Part of my brain is critical of me doing this, calling it wasting time, but it’s an endless fascination!
The thing that came across to me, Tim, when I first discovered your playing, and ever since, was, and is the joy which is manifest within it. So, not surprised when you gave voice to that! (1:13:28) I’m sure I’m not alone in expressing my gratitude for that joy so gladly given. ❤
What could be a more joyful pursuit than musing and discovering the delights of your musical imagination.? Thank you for your insightful comment
John: "I haven't met him but i feel like we're brothers." Love that :-)
Most guitar players on YT know about .00005% of what you guys know about this instrument. Including me. Although, I'm not going to stop trying. Its not an easy ... (this guitar thing) that is. But, the love for it is why we keep trying. Thanks so much for this conversation. Very inspiring. Back to "filling my Pockets". T 😎
Is it just me or does Tim look like Jeff Bridges. It’s like The Dude teaching guitar lessons 😂. Fantastic lesson and beautiful playing gents.
Oh god, what a privilege to watch both exchange ideas, this is pure gold, I am so grateful
Glad you enjoyed it!
Once I had a guitar teacher say to me “you have to think about it long and deep before you get to do it automatically” I think that is what you were alluding to toward the end of your conversation
This is such a great tribute to Lenny Breau. It’s so fascinating that Lenny experienced connections between the colours of the expressionists and jazz. Much of the conversation is above my theoretical understanding of the guitar but I appreciate it nonetheless.
What a great conversation to enjoy! I remember the three of us getting together in my little sitting room, lo those many years ago. So nice to see musical friendships blossom. Thanks, Tim, for making it happen and thanks to John just for being John!...best...oj
Hi Orville, maybe you and I can get together and shoot a conversation.
That sounds like fun. Let’s talk…oj
That thing John said at around 38 minutes in just makes my heart melt, I know exactly what you're talking about, meditative really.
"We're convinced we need to consume but we forget that we need to chew and digest"
Yes, John. I had a lot of fun watching it. :-)
John was one of the nicest people I met , when I worked for the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville in 2001-2002. He is a Lifetime educator of excellence. and a very serious Musician of note .
Thanks
Thank you
My puny mind is reeling and these chords are just stunningly beautiful & interesting!!! I am going to study, study, study, practice, practice, practice -- you guys inspire me!!!
Hang in there ........ Its worth every minute. T😎
two of my favorite players
Thanks guys
oooooOOOOOOO wat I would give to hear Ted and Lenny talk for 6hrs.... This conversation is also very very good.

I wish I had followed the path these 2 intelligent knowledgeable guitarist have done. I knew about Ted and Lenny early on due to my love for guitar and a follower of Chet Atkins and Merle Travis. I looked through tons of music books and bought lots of records and materials during the 60s on. I appreciate watching this amazing event sharing the thought process and examples you made possible.
This is absolutely brilliant. Two musicians talking passionately about music. It reminds me of me and my mate Rob that sit and talk about guitars/ music
What a joy to listen to: the beautiful music and the deep knowledge. Thank you very much, Gentlemen.
This is gold ! Thank you!
Thank you !
This the most inspiring video I’ve watched in a long time. And even better, I’m inspired to practice instead of buy some new gear.
Yes yes... the stuff that dreams are made on/of. When inspiration strikes hum isnt an issue...
Thank you!
I listened to this in bits... I have been listening and learning music in bits and pieces all my life... there is a sign in my studio just one word...“Imagine“.... I think you’re right the imagination may be the most important tool.... thank you for your wisdom and your musicality
Wow, just wow! Two very knowledgeable people, what a treat to watch such great insights in music as well in life! Thank you so much for this Tim, it was certainly refreshing, I much needed this and will definitely be coming back soon and digesting every single bit of it!
Beautiful. 💛
This is pure gold! Thank you both for the priceless knowledge 🙏🏼
Y'all are so far beyond me, so much of this sounds like gibberish, but I find this all delightful and magical to watch. One day I'll come back and see if I've progressed enough to follow it as naturally as you speak and perform it
Great chords and conversation! Thanks!!
What a beautiful and insightful conversation ✨❤️
Hi Tim, thank you both for this great conversation. The part where you talk about the 3 phrases of playing/learning really struck me hard and I realized I have not been spending enough time in the phrase 1 learning. quick question on the course you mention about taking simple melody and work on the harmony, is it out there somewhere already?
Yes the course is called Solo Jazz Pathways Harmonic Enhancement. it’s a TrueFire course visit timlerch.com and look at the TrueFire page
@@TimLerchGuitar thank you, I will get it right now!
Quite educational! Simply baffling all of those notes made to sound so natural! And the memory the memorizing of the songs! Thank you for these videos.
Solid gold
thanksTim, great insight from you and john
I truly loved this Tim! Thank you.
Hey Shawn, thanks for stopping to have a look. Hope you are well. I dug the recent 5 Watt episode.
Tim, thank you for all of your content. Your perspective is like cool water for the spirit.
Many thanks for this Tim. You and John in musical conversation is Golden.
I appreciate your conversation and playing so much! Thank you!
This little session is pretty funny !
That was fun and illuminating! I’ve been following both of you for many years so it’s great to be a fly on the wall for this discussion. I remember that clinic with Gene Bertoncini, probably around 2007.
Wow Tim, please do keep uploading videos like this. This is amazing.
Gold! Thank you so much for sharing!
this was beautiful insight , thank you
This was wonderful and really changed my understanding of music. Thank you!
god bless you maestros, this is priceless
Tim, thank you for sharing this. You guys are further along the journey than me, and it's such a sweet thing to hear and to learn from you two. Your playing gives me that delightful smooth feething of ooooh what was that? Like a hot shower to the neck. I'm so inspired by Ted too; i see you as furthering his legacy in some ways by encouraging people to see the power of the guitar as an instrument with many simultaneous moving voices, and to not be afraid of music theory, but also to realize all that stuff needs to fade into the background while we say what we really want to say on the instrument
Thanks!
Thank you !
Superb video. Knowledge, enthusiasm and intrigue for professionals and novices alike! A true sharing of joy.
This was amazing!!! Such a joy to watch!❤
in that recording of ted and lenny, lenny preforms chimes and harp harmonics with a melody note on top. i’m sorta getting used to chimes and other techniques at the moment and would love to dive into that crazy sounding technique lenny was doing. id highly recommend checking out that video for anyone curious, apparently there’s no other recording of lenny preforming that technique so we’re just gonna have to figure it out lol
I like the discussion very much and I have been following Tim for a long time. As a big Tommy Emmanuel fan I'm curious, if there is any musical connection between Tiim and Tommy, or maybe just some short stories etc, or if it is too distant. This video may contain something, but I'm at the very beginning now :) It just came to my mind, when I saw John. Thanks anyway!
wow. just…wow. 🙏
Fascinating interview. Thanks so much for sharing this. I have very limited musical ability and knowledge, but found this interview so interesting. There are many good nuggets from both of you here about what is happening in your heads as you play and perform. Thanks!
Unbelievable stuff.
This is great. You are both national treasures.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
WONDERFUL.
Is this a taste of your TF guitar solo sensei channel?
The material on TF channel is more specific and organized than this. Think of this as supplemental and inspiration material.
@@TimLerchGuitar I just subcribed to the channel now ! THANK YOU for being there for us students !
Beautiful hangout and exchange.
Thank you so much for this Tim!
Quick random question☺️: is your tele wired with 250k or 500k pots for the CC Lollars? 🌟
I use 250K pots but I am considering 500k for the 3 CC tele
@@TimLerchGuitar Thank you for the reply! Lollar suggested i try the Novel CC and Special T with 500Ks since my guitar has 500K pots.
As a singer becoming a guitar player, I differ from these guys in that I struggle to accompany and not play what I sing . I play like a singer rather than play like a playerr
so cool trying
🤯
Geniuses both…. Wow requires repeated views deep deep harmonic territory.
I thought I knew something about chords....Apparently not, lol....
"Jim" Lerch? One should perhaps know the first name of a "good buddy" Just say'n...
He said Tim, John and I have been good friends for quite a few years now.
Thanks!
Thank you!
Thanks
This is beautiful, wise and a real privilege to sit with
