    One of the most overlooked and underrated players of our time. I love Andy Timmons. “Fantastic” player.

      i think hes just unknown. because it takes 2 mins of listening to confirm his skill level and passion.

    Hi,
    I have been a fan of Jeff Beck since the early 70s and seen him live several times. He is one of my favorites.
    All the best,

    Hi, If I could play like anyone that I wanted to (and could only choose one) it would be Jeff Beck. I still want to do a photo session with him as well.
    All the best,

    Andy is awesone not just because of his ridiculous talent, technique and ultimate feel but because he's humble and just and an ordinally guy who loves his instrument and those that brought it to him.

    I was fortunate enough to have met Andy in person after an Olivia Newton-John concert in 2012. Me, him, and a mate chatted backstage for two hours about music, gear, the Beatles, and just life in genera - a very inspiring two hours. Before we left, he reached into his pocket and grabbed us a couple of his guitar picks. It was my happiest day in recent memory.

      I got to jam with him at a NY club in '90 or '91 and I was impressed at what a cool guy he was. I doubt he would even remember but we played a Bad Company tune (I think) and maybe ZZ Top....apparently I don't remember either. Ha! So nice to see a good guy and great player have success.

    It's so beautiful seeing a musician with such a true connection with music, not just scales and notes. Andy's playing is breathtaking. There are so few like him out there.

    I witnessed the miracle that is Andy at the recent G4 Experience guitar camp in Cambria, CA in August 2014. I have to say he stole our hearts. The guys plays with such passion and lyricism - and awesome chops which he uses tastefully, not gaudily. In person he is one of the sweetest guys - sincere, humble, appreciative.

    Saw Jeff Beck at the Ryman last Year. Front row balcony. If anyone knows the original Ryman, that is tonal bliss seating. I laid back, propped up my feet and witnessed the juggernaut of Beck! To this day, by far the most amazing guitar performance I've seen. Jeff talked only twice for maybe 20 seconds max. Played for 3 hours!

  • @froblivion8284

    Such a tasteful guitarist. I love the way that Andy doesn't shred and throw out notes for the sake of it - obviously he could do that all day long - but he chooses to work the notes & his phrasing is exceptional. Truly talented guy & a uniquely interesting musician to listen to. Long may he continue.

    Andy is one of the most accomplished guitarists out there! He has everything, most importantly he has impeccable taste, tone, and style. He obviously has world class technique but always uses it in the service of the music, so impressed with him!!
    Definitely one of my favorite guitarists of all time!

      That was back when he came around Denton Tx to play at the Library and at Alexanders. I met him through friends that had bands he jammed with. Funny thibg , I talked to him about Jeff Beck back then. But I also talked with him about many other musicians. I was happy for him when I saw that a few years later he was becoming successful.

    An absolutely incredible display of guitar musicianship, skill and expression that I have ever witnessed on this planet . A lifetime of guitar mastery on display and one of the most humble people I have ever met. Totally beyond words. Absolutely beautiful and stunning at the same time. A true master of the instrument and he’s not done yet . Wow !

    Way back in '95 or '96, I met Andy at a CD release in Dallas, TX. I showed up way early and caught him as he was setting up, had a great chat with him and he even showed me how a particular arpeggio worked in one of his recordings. Such an amazing player, such a humble and approachable person. Fan for life!

    I was there, so fortunate to see him in such a great venue. Jeff Beck was always so original even covering someone else’s music. He always brought something new and inspiring to the song. He will be forever missed, especially for those of us who saw him live over the many decades of his career.

    I've never seen such emotive playing. He is an absolute master of his instrument.....all the while barely looking at it. I'm sure we can all relate when he says he 'teared up' watching Jeff Beck. What an inspiration. Someone should start carving the the Mount Rushmore of guitarists. His place would be more than deserved.
    Every interview I've seen him in he's the most genuine 'im happy to be here with you' kind of guy. It'd be an honour to meet him.

    Every word out of his mouth is the absolute truth. I have been playing for 40 years. I've had lots of highs and lows in my musical journey, but this cat has succeeded to condense the entire quest for tone into a few simple statements. Listen up kids... not so much to his playing but rather the true passion for the instrument and the love of the art of playing guitar. That's it in a nutshell , passion. I wish I had heard this at 14, but them I wouldn't have cared. GO SEE BECK! You deserve it!

  • @WickBeavers
    @WickBeavers 6 років тому

    I agree with you on Jeff Beck.
    As for a life altering live show, I have to say seeing Count Basie at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk Pavilion right before he died made me question what I was doing with my life outside of music.
    No matter, I’m trying to get “there” with my guitar.
    Thanks for this,
    Wick

    I really like both, Andy and Jeff. I saw Andy 2 years ago in Germany when he presented his gear and answered questions from the audience. But he also played about 6 of his great songs. This evening did cost only 7$!!! I never met such a great guitar player who really knows how important the connection between listeners and artist is. He was quite funny and did not become stressed by a lot of very simple questions.
    Next month I gonna see Jeff playing in Germany. I am really looking forward!

    Hey, man. I have played all my life. I am 39 and just never seemed to be able to put myself in the right places to be able to make the transition from my day job. The skills aren't the problem. I am. Watching Timmons speak about being moved to tears by a piece resonated with me. I have that "ability" or open-ness to where I can let myself ride the same wave the Composer does. I realize now that everyone can't feel that. It is a dis-service for a guitarist NOT to share when they Convey Honesty
