MELODIC MUSE by Andy Timmons
GHOST IN THE MACHINE
Last month, Andy Timmons broke down the first half of his 24-bar outro solo in “Ghost of You,” from the 2006 Andy Timmons Band album Resolution. It’s a fairly complex solo that requires attention to detail: there are some challenging passages built from long streams of 32nd notes, which are tempered by more melodic phrases articulated with precise string bending techniques like oblique bends and two-step “overbends.” So let’s get back to it!

So far haven’t seen that model coming back, but they are unveiling the ATZ300 which has the same neck inlays, but a guarded body like his AT100/ATZ100
