The sheer amount of joy in your face when you play is enough of a lesson, Tim.
Absolutely! Tim is the Ambassador of Guitar Happiness!
I couldn’t get the smile off my own face. His joy is addicting and inspirational!
So true!
Well said !
Beat me to it, as I was going to say the same thing. I can have a shit day at work, come home, pull up Tim video and instantly feel happier through osmosis. Plus the great music.Thank you Tim, (and playing on 2l of my all time favorite songs .....'Don't Dream it's Over' and 'Iris'.)
1. 1:35 Remember your trusty good tones
2. 3:25 It's always better when wet
3. 4:22 Grab a trusty guitar that's the easiest to play

Ben thank you so much, Generous of you to do this
Good job Ben!!
Helpful list , thank you
I totally need #4!
Thanks Tim for helping all of us players through this tough year of no gigs , no band rehearsals, and waay too much time in front of the computer. Your joy in playing, immense knowledge and skill, and killer tips and tricks, helps to keep me inspired.
I've another suggestion if you're feeling uninspired - just watch one of Tim's videos! Works for me every time...
He certainly has the joy of playing.
I just found Tim's channel not long ago, and I'm convinced that what makes him great (on top of his great chops) is his relentlessly good vibes. If I were a producer, and all he played was jug, I'd have him there just to radiate positivity.
You're so right about that!
No substitute for good vibes!
I just subscribed after watching a Ricky beato video with Tim. Cool :)
As a geezer (Tv/film Composer/rock rat/Educator) THIS is one of the best inspirational/non-snob videos I’ve ever seen. As The Great Duke Ellington spake: “If YOU like it, it’s GOOD!” Thanks Tim, you’re a good soul!
As my kids have gotten older, one has moved out. For years I had my corner in the basement. I now have my own music room. All my guitars are on wall hangers. All accessible, at any moment.one is actually always tuned down a half. I have 2 pedal boards with (almost) all my pedals hooked up, neatly and again, accessible. Two amps (A/B-Y switch) I tell everyone that is learning. The best advice (IMO) is always have your guitar out, and easy to pick up & play. I’m also going back and learning and relearning songs I love. I connected with so much of this. Thanks Tim
Sometimes you really need to hear it from you someone who is extremely experienced like Tim to get motivated again. We need motivation especially in these trying times. Thank you so much!
I feel like I’ve been stuck in a rut for like 5 yrs now...heeelp!!!!
After years of dealing with the local scene, and the general negativity I've encountered, this is a breath of fresh air...to find out that there are still people out there who can remind me of why I do this in the first place. It seems the town I live in is particularly bad that way with people who discourage you and want to destroy your dreams and ambitions, but now that I'm older I suspect that that sort of thing is everywhere and it's best to seek inspiration on the internet from people who are all over the place and not concentrate on trying to get in with the locals, who are not really people I'd care to associate with anyway, just because of their exclusive club who-the-fuck-are-you attitude. Tim and Rick Beato and that whole gang of internet TH-cam music pro guys are far more my "friends" than any of the local folks that I've known for decades...because they encourage, not beat you down.
These are very useful tips Tim. “Stay in your zone”... “the things you love the most”... all of them! Thank you for the well needed reset!
Thanks Tim, Always on point. The part about losing the vibe by simply getting down on the floor to plug in a pedal hit home with me. That really happens. Trying to keep my head in the game is sometimes the most difficult part. Its strange how we can go from really really "on" to flat out "off" simply by adding a tedious un-enjoyable task to our routine. So what did i take from this video? Having the simplest route to the most trusted tone available in an instant is paramount. Use an instrument that doesn't fight back thus allowing for the uninterrupted free flow of creativity. This is also great life advice. Mentioning Andy from Shutupandplayguitar was also helpful as his delivery , tone, ability to communicate (much like your own) is refreshingly free of the agitators found in many other youtube lesson videos. My motivation is restored for the moment lol.
I love the “starting the car” approach. The last thing you want when you’re singular minded about a riff or lyric is to allow for the fuzz of setting up to ruin your flow. Wonderful advice, fantastic suggestions. You are appreciated! ❤️
A giant dose of positivity here in this video! I love how you stress to play the music YOU like, that makes you happy to play. I am in the minority in my group of friends with the music I like. I don't get to play much of my favorite music when our garage band is together, so I love to play MY stuff when I'm practicing alone. It's great to hear a pro suggest that very thing. Thank you for this video.
Yeah, the “Andy, at “Shut Up and Play” is quite a resource. That guy is amazing as well. Tim you are so helpful by sharing useful tips! Thanks!
His guitar (The Burgundy LP) sounds amazing, even on stratty stuff.
Hellz Yes!!. I 2nd this 100% I've been watching "Shutup n Play" song tutorials for years and still haven't seen his face lol i think it took 2 years before i even knew his name haha.
He is brilliant and nails the specific version in such great detail whether live or studio album.. every nuance is there to learn.. one of my favorites... if you dont know Andy and his Shut up & play videos,.............Do yr self a favor and go find some now..
Thanks again, Tim... Sharing your joy in playing with us is... priceless. I watch this video all the time and it always pumps me up!
They say a person’s reach should always exceed their grasp. After trying in Amplitude all the amps, pedals, speakers, mike placement, yadada, I have finally found the right sound I’ve been hearing, Fender Twin Reverb with an OD pedal or an Orange Terror when in the mood. My 70’s sounds that I listen to sound pretty good when I play them. I love playing along with the tunes on my phone.
Watching Tim play makes me want to play.
I grew up learning and loving the eighties so called hair bands. Well throw in some AC-DC. Eventhough I listened to Skynyrd, I never really learned their music correctly. For the last month I've been doing just that. Wow, am I having a blast. Never realized how good these bunch of guys were together. Great riffs in my mind done to perfection.
That point about learning songs "correctly" is interesting. I have a tendency to bodge through; I can play a song so it sounds about right, but if you take the trouble to go through and learn all the parts thoroughly and properly it really opens up a new world of musical understanding.
Tim "Happy Face" Pierce 😃
Thanks for the wonderful tips! I always learn just by transcribing pieces of your tasteful noodling!!
Glad you like them!
Most of this advice you could just carry straight into life itself.
Thank you for telling us to champion the music we love. I find that ACDC is my band that inspires me, makes me happy and keeps me so motivated. They never fail to fuel my passion. I am jumping for joy with their new album. I just bought a brand new McCarty 594 PRS. It will take 14 months to receive because of COVID. I can hardly wait to get my hands on it. ⚡️🇨🇦
Ya just before Christmas last year.
"But Angus doesn't play Fermented Flat Rutebega scales at a zillion miles an hour, so he don't count!" JK about the daft half of the guitar community! Back in Black is one of the reasons this guy plays guitar! imnho... I think the truly wise listen to Yngwie, Angus & Paisley. HF
Tim, I've been watching your videos for a while now, but this one really hit home. Your comments about finding a tone you can live with forever, that is the most ON POINT tip I've heard in a long, long time. Appreciate your videos and taking time to share your insights like this. No telling how many musicians you positively impact! Thank you.
Battling vintage guitars for good tones and getting put in a bad mood by crawling around on the ground plugging petals in I’m so relieved to know there’s other people out there who understand!!
Tim. Honestly. You are a gift. The joy and artistry parallel in such an incredibly inspiring way. Thank you so much.
Tim: There's a certain kind of music that I'm sure you love the most.
Me: **starts thinking about all the greatest bands, struggles to pick just one. Finally picks Dire Straits...**
Tim: What if it's Dire Straits?
Me: I will listen to this man's every word.
Great video, thank you so much! :)
Tim , your enthusiasm is overwhelming. I'm learning things I'd never imagine I could even process , and I'm really grateful it's from an Artist like you. A million thanks!
I really loved this video Tim. Thank you for sharing these tips. I want that joy you have and will make some changes to get it happening. When I was young I used to play along with records all the time, and it made me so happy. I need to get back to doing that, so thanks for the reminder to do that. I got lost in all the other things everyone says I should be doing and left that behind.
I love tip #7...so true!...Tim is such an amazing teacher :-) Would take me 7 lifetimes to be that good, he makes it so much fun!
This was really helpful. Especially number 8. I've always felt ashamed that I like blues and rock and don't want to do fusion and shred. Thanks
This is the very of opening up to good explore. I needed to hear this. Give it up people!!! This man is Smart, Honest, & I'm dig the vibe. I'm so into the way he shares.
Fantastic tips, Tim, especially the one about tone chasing and the beauty of finding that one tone you can always use. Keep up the great work!
I enjoy watching Tim’s enthusiasm and passion and happiness about music! Inspiring!!!!!!
Ed Van Halen has that “feel good” in most of his music.
Watching Tim's hands and how he includes his body moving into the playing clips is inspiring.
Thank you soooo much Tim! You really pushed my inspiration button! I’m re-arranging my studio patches immediately!!!!!!!
I’m loving your videos more and more every day. I’ve been playing my whole life and I think I’m learning more from your videos than I have the 4 decades before I found you. Thanks so much Tim!
Can’t believe Tim kept a straight face for tip 2. The TPS boys would be giggling at the very least.
You look so genuinely happy when playing. I love it! Super interesting and helpful videos too!
Thanks Tim, I haven't played in over 3 years and this made me pick up the guitar and learn it, you're a legend
You sir, inspire me. I cant watch you without picking up one of my guitars and getting better. Thank you for what you do. This channel is just good for the soul.
Love you , don't ever stop what your doing.. Thank you so much for your love to us.
Your channel is your greatest gig... Thanks for pushing your audience to improve.
Your enthusiasm is truly contagious! Thank you for this boost. I work on the road a lot and started bringing my acoustic with me as a companion.
Tims smile when he hits the high bends is pure joy, the very essence of rocknroll
Absolutely Wonderful, I actually really needed this video this week Mr Tim! So thanks for being there and as ever, thanks for inspiring and motivating us all - it makes us all feel just a little bit better about ourselves as guitarists and musicians, and that truly is so precious and valuable! Cheers
so much joy Tim, I really appreciate that.
Tim, you said something that took me back to conversations I have with Tom Bukovac. He said something pivotal to me. He said when I’m playing Sultans of Swing on stage that I am someone’s Mark Knopfler in that moment. He said to remember that and pay homage to it. I still remember that.
Great advice about being yourself. Been saying that for years. Nice to hear from accomplished musician. Thanks.
What an awesome lesson...thank you, Tim!!!
These ten topics and the way you explained what's behind them is pure Gold especially for non professional player like me who often get distracted by "gear search/research". I will stay focused and work with the stuff I already have. Oh boy it lies in front of me and I couldn't see it. Thanks so much Tim
Your passion for the instrument is infectious. Thank you!
Hello. I’m a new kid on the Block. I found your channel by accident. I was watching 5 Watt World. I have been so inspired by this video. Thank You Sir.
Dear Tim, this is great advice for players of any level. Thanks for sharing your expertise in such a humble, honest and generous way. Plus, your playing is always very musical and on point, truly inspiring!
You're so inspirational Tim. I always feel empowered to play when I watch your YT vids. Cheers from Oz.
It's always fun to watch you play and enjoying it!
Solid Tim! Thanks for sharing these nuggets of wisdom!
Andy over at ..."Shut up and play" is my one stop place for learning songs. As a member of Tim's Masterclass and a patron of Andy's TH-cam channel I feel extremely fortunate to have this level of guitar education at my finger tips...for peanuts ! relatively speaking.
Awesome ideas Tim ,your a joy to tune into
Absolute golden nuggets of wisdom. Thank you!!
Every one of these guitar lessons is a metaphor for a life lesson. Thanks Tim.
Really needed this thanks Tim!
Great tips Tim! Thank you!
Great tips! I love your vibe! Thank you!
this video was pure gold. GOLD I tell ya! Thanks again Tim!
You have a way of making EVERYTHING sound GREAT! I have learned so much from your channel I love your emphasis on picking dynamics I'm in the middle of perfecting it at the moment.
Love how excited and happy you are playing. I don’t practice as much because it IS a pain setting everything up. Great advice with the cockpit analogy with a couple power strips.
Thank you very much, I will from now on play this clip everytime I feel uninspired to pick up the guitar. Your enthousiastm is really inspiring!
I’m subscribed to multiple guitar gurus (you will know who they are). I’ve just unsubscribed from several of them, not for any negative reason .... but more that I now find Tim to be the one who inspires me, limited talent and all, to keep going. Thanks Tim
Thanks Tim 🙏As usual... fabulous insights & advice
You are always so inspiring!!! And fun to watch!
Amazing video. I need to watch this at least weekly. Thanks Tim. I was smiling all the way through.
I met Tim at Norm’s while visiting family in LA. I was super impressed how cool and unassuming this guy is! To think guitar monsters like Tim could be the guy ahead of you on line to get coffee! I a fan of his talent and I’ll always be a fan of how much enthusiasm he has when talking guitar. Best to Tim from N.Y.
I often thought the key to EVH's playing was his smile. I see that in you... when you show your super smile after a cool lick!
Needed this lesson today! Thanks for great content as always!
Thanks for all the advice, Tim!
Great intro.
I'm 63 and when I finally got an electric when I was 15 in '72, I jammed with guys but sold everything in '80.
Back on the horse for a cover band that got paid in '82. gear sat after I quit a year later. dabbled abit until '85.
8 years go by and i'm on standby.
Hear Candlebox Far Behind and You. All in again.
'05, old band does a reunion. just a jam but we nailed the practice trax.
Played Far Behind at a bar gig (one of three sets). Sweet.
Moved to an apt. Modified jams. Headphones or stratos unplugged.
Like the Peter Gabriel song, "Don't Give Up".
Hey Tim. I really appreciate your videos. I am signed up for the school this week.
Looking forward to it !
,
I prolly can't do half the stuff you talked about, but I love to watch/hear you play
I'm sick and tired of the outrageously high quality of Tim's playing.
tomcoryell Just where the hell does he get off, playing like that? I mean .... smh.
What a great video:)! Super sensable and a fine player. So nice to see someone truly living their craft....
Great video Tim! Thank you
Beautiful melodic playing in your intro!
You are great!!
You are always inspiring with your technique
Never a dull video
This video made me smile on many levels. I have my creative space set up a lot like yours, just not quite as tight but close (2 drum sets, bass, keys, 10 guitars, etc.). I even added lighting behind a few amps and my monitors. It’s a really cheap effect ($12 on Amazon) and is awesome for creating a great mood. Thanks for this! Great advice.
Great advice Tim. Love your enthusiasm.
Man expresses true joy on that guitar.
Super cool Tim great video great advice thanks soooo much for your hard work past and present
Thnx Tim,
This was very inspiring.
Love your channel and your playing.
Keep up the good work.
Peter
Just in awe of your skills Tim, thank you.
Awesome inspiring video. Thank you for that!
Oh and the Boss EQ video warmed my heart. I think I got mine when I was 14 or 15. I'm 40 today and I use it every day of my life. Just awesome boost.
Great tips! Thank you so very much Tim . Best wishes to you from Northern Ireland 🌌🙋♂️
I watch two players on TH-cam consistently and those two people are Tom Bukovac and you. Really like the look of pure joy that comes out of your face when you're playing. It's like you're the happiest guy on earth. Could you please do a video on all that massive amount of equipment you have in your studio? Why would you possibly need all that stuff? These are questions that I seriously would like an answer to. Thanks again Tim for all you do. You are much appreciated.
learning the essence with mr pierce. playing music is about joy and feeling at home. like any cliche this is just the near to trivial essence of loads of truth.
You always make such good sense. Exactly right.
Luke and Tim in the same room and session ... all my guitars' wet dreams in one.
I've worked on TOTO gigs and hung out backstage with Steve. It's also been my goal to meet you too one day, Tim.
Thank you for the lifelong inspirations.
I love your playing! I could listen to it for hours!
Thank you for your inspirational lessons.
Thank you Tim.......Miss learning from records.
Great vid Tim, thank you!
Always great, Tim. Love what you do. And, man, YOUR good tone is SOOOO good. Thanks for all you do.
