I’ve got a theory that what makes Tim’s playing appealing is that he appears not to have gone down the route of trying to achieve souped up level of alternate picking, or economy picking, or sweeping, or tapping, or legato or any of the other stuff that players hone in on. He seems to have just followed his ears, let his own technique develop, and has come up with a highly polsished, listenable and musical soloing style - a style which over the years has obviously made a big impact on non-guitarist artists and producers who kept hiring him. He hasn’t let ‘guitarisms’ get in the way of music.
This is very perceptive. Great comment.
Wish there was a double-like button. Great comment. I could not agree more.
Nail. Head. 👏
Spot on! 👍👍
You hit the nail on the head here Clay. The key thing you mentioned is being "listenable". Technique is amazing, impressive and competitive... but in the world of playing for the song - making music is the most important ingredient. I love that idea, following your OWN ears and letting that technique develop and flourish into something that someone actually wants to hire you for!
Tim the tone you are pushing here is absolutely beautiful. I have been wanting to add an eq and a Nobles and this is so helpful. Tim honestly you are the inspiration of my second life as a guitar player and I thank you every day for it.Your guest appearance on a Brett Papa video about 5 years ago inspired me as I had lost all of my instruments and gear .I moved to St.Louis and had nothing but a T shirt and jeans seriously,nothing. AFTER I saw you play I changed everything I was doing and concentrated solely on my guitar technique and work .I was asked to join a church band and my playing took off.Now I have one of the old Inca Silver LoneStar Strat a Seafoam Green American Nashville Tele with BBender a Tele Deluxe with TV Jones humbuckers aFender Deluxe Reverb a Vox AC30C2 a Kustom upholstered Head and column 4x10s and a giant PA.Tim this all began from watching you and imitating your style 😎 I can't begin to Thank you enough. YOU have such an awesome influence on people 👏
Thank you for the shout out Tim! Hearing you have watched my videos literally made my jaw drop! Thanks for all you do man
Love when the top end slightly breaks up and tails off like a jet flying by and you are nailing it.Also your double stops just make it special. If you can't tell I love your playing @
In the last week I have purchased a Morning Glory a Soulfood to go with my Pure Sky drive. I have been struggling with this setup all week. It was literally my plan to work on this in about an hour. I just decided to listen to some youtube while I got ready AND THIS POPPED UP! Thanks Tim!
These tips are solid gold. Great intro soloing, and love the backing track.
I've been do this for years! I've got 5 different over drive pedals in different combinations you can get all kinds of different sounds! Thanks Tim!
Tim, greetings from the Philippines! Your playing and personality are great! I’m trying to learn from you. Continue what your doing!
Thank you for your humble approach to this! Been experimenting with a lot of my drives lately thanks to the inspiration from you and That Pedal Show! Got a Protein, Centura (Klone), and Ultraphonix, then XTS modded GE-7 last. Sometimes I’ll have RC booster after the drives before ge-7 for a general clean boost and shape the ge-7 for specific tones
Always great listening to one of my heroes play and talk about gear. I love that you’re even influenced by younger cats like Buk. Seeing you with Rick on the Living In Oz tour was a highlight. 🤙
FINALLY - I have always felt the way you do, about pushing the front end instead of the amp -
It's kind of amazing that with Tim's resume and obvious talent he still experiments and tinkers to see what sounds he can get. Maybe it's me but before watching this I would have never tried chaining OD pedals. And he shares his ideas with us mortals....wadda legend!
Excellent video as usual! Lately I’ve been running a JHS double barrel in front of a Wampler euphoria… Gives you up to four different gain stages, I only use three…Works really well for what I do…
Thanks Tim! love my LPB1 and Iommi's TI boost Together!
It's all about the feeling. Tim evokes feeling in everything he plays. Every video is a masterclass.
I got the mini Nobels recently. It's smooth, and can be subtle, and gives you some grrr without it being too much, unless you want more. And the "presence" knob lets you dial down the highs basically. Thank you for the tip Mr Pierce.
Tim is a total legend, so much great stuff in his videos
He kind of reminds me of a guitar yoda
Exuding mastery and wisdom
Watching Tim's videos inspired me to purchase two Nobels ODR-1, one mini and one regular, and the Karma MTN-10. Both excellent pedals and I am always chaining drive pedals together to achieve different tones.
The Broadcast is one big sweet spot, I can’t recommend it highly enough. Sparkly clean to all out fuzz. It’s a lo fi sound but I love it
Thanks Tim, you have the advice and attitude of a really good doctor. I appreciate your kind spirit. This video has taught me a few things and reminded me of others. I want the OD1
Glad it was helpful!
I won't likely buy any pedals for a while since I picked up a Headrush, which I'll be exploring for a good long time, but I wanted to mention that I have pretty much fallen in love with the sound of chaining a couple of compressor pedals together (virtual pedals, obviously). I have tried multiple distortion pedals, but so far the compressors together is the sound that is knocking my socks off, highly recommended!
Love your playing Tim. I’ve recently started stacking my pedals. My chain is a Timmy clone MXR, Little Green Wonder, and a Super Badass MXR 75. All super easy to get and affordable pedals.
Bought a MXR Timmy when it first came out. Really like the pedal and I use as a pusher for my Orange amp. The Timmy lets me roll down the bass going into the amp. IT also works well as a pusher for other OD pedals.
Using the EQ pedal to help distort is awesome
thanks Tim , watched your videos all over the place i go to, and I've learnt a lot of stuff on guitar from you, thanks a bunch
The solo from around 11:30 in this video is perfection!
I've been working on dialing my drive pedals to sound good when I'm playing either guitar or bass with (preferably) no tweaking of settings. I've had pretty good success with LPD pedals in achieving this goal
I love your smile when you hit a sweet phrase!
Always a pleasure watching 😎
Wonderful info Tim!
Thanks so much for answering my question. Guess I will have to find some EVM vintage speakers now. :)
Great video Tim - you should link it with Mick and Dan's TPS video on setting up OD pedals with a band
The Nobles was the best thing to come along since the KOT and that’s the pedal every one in Nashville uses
Thank you very much! Regards from Hamburg
Thank you Tim ❤🎸👍
Honestly who needs shredding (I’m a shredder) and breaking the sound barrier with sweep arpeggios when you’re this musical, oh man I can listen to him all day. You go 🙌🏻👊🏻🙌🏻👊🏻
I 100% coincidentally bought a Roebuck today. I may have to buy another. It’s really great and VERY flexible.
Nice tips and great playing as always. Not sure about your driving if that is how you use the accelerator pedal though!
The Nobels ODR-1 is the hidden gem of my board that everyone asks…”How’d you get that sound?”
Especially when I’m playing through my smaller Orange solid state amp.
I love the Soul Food. Versatile and clean. Gives a nice, creamy mid boost.
Tim, your playing is so pleasing and fun to listen to; I wish you would make an album. It would be great!
Guitarland
@@Guitarplayer724 Thanks so much!
@@Dakahrii No problem, it’s well worth a listen. It was released in 1995, so I wouldn’t mind hearing a new album from Tim. He’s an incredible musician.
Thanks for the video Tim, watched uncle's wee board. Are we going minimalist, is that your experience of the way sessions are going. 🤔Respect and stay healthy all.
Tim ... always inspired by your vids ...
I am just figuring out this way of handling things , I'm pretty certain it's the best way to go at this point. I'm not a tone chaser in the sense of I think it's about one amp or pedals that will give me the ultimate tone, I believe it's more about the hands at the end of the day but I've tried alot of gear ALOT looking to see if I could get Everything out of this or that amp or this or that guitar, it turns out the best stuff is the Simplest stuff plexi's or bassman based stuff, your 800 style amps ,basically 1 channel amps and stacking over drives and you can do anything you ever want I personally don't Believe because of what I've recently learned there are any limitations with this set up, I play alot of styles it's great. It's alot easier to find a tone your looking for like this verses trying to find an amp that does it all with out some pedal's there are amazing sounding amps that sound great but they are not versatile and when you set said amp up to that sweet spot it has, its not as easy to shape your tone with pedal's and becomes pretty boring. My opion is what we need is an amp that can get a clean light break up with the light break up deriving from the master volume and the overdrive or distortion pedals of your choice and the knowledge to know how to set those pedal's. I'm new to this method but so far I'm in this duh phase because it's taken me so long to discover this.
I like your settings on the GE7
i know how to set my drives!....here for it anyway....great playing....
Tim is the man!
Very useful indeed, would that apply to chaining fuzz and overdrive or would you rather use fuzz and a booster for example ? Many thanks for the great content of your channel
Tim, I'm not ashamed to say you are my favorite Guitarist, and there's not enough room/time for me to tell you why, but you are!
I just picked up playing the Gee-tar at a late age (I have played Drums, Bass Guitar, and Keyboards since I was 11 thanks to The Beatles :) ), but here's where I am.
I'm trying to play as good as I can with as few effects as I can because I believe that as far as ME, the more effects one uses the more one can get away with sloppy playing, and that's not my goal :)
So........................................................................................
If I want to start out with only one of the (5) pedals on this video, which one would you tell me to go with?
So far my Pedalboard is StroboStomp HD>Kelley Halo AT>Strymon Flint>Strymon Iridium>Apollo Interface.
Money For Nothing is played on a Gibson Les Paul with a half-open WAH pedal.
Getting your amp above bedroom level is probably a main consideration. A lot of pedals simply over power the amp sound at low volume and don't sound very nice.
Allen and Chris can be a real tongue twister. Lol. Great video Tim.
Great vid, thanks! Have you tried a Way Huge Green Rhino? Would love to get your thoughts on it.
Much respect...
Tim is the best! I loved his playing on John Waite's Ignition back when I was in high school, but I have always thought it was Neil Giraldo playing. I had been watching his videos for years before I realized Tim was the player!
Tim Pierce should be a household name.
SO MANY songs I LOVE from the 80s and onward I am finding out were Tim. So weird how I was drawn to his style without knowing who was on the records.
Have you ever used the crossover method of two overdrives or distortions in parallel? Lower frequencies thru one OD & higher frequencies thru the other OD / Distortions. I haven’t tried this yet but it sounds promising. I think Skunk used this technique. Thanks 🙏
Still using the UA Pedals I see. Just got the Golden Reverberator and have to say it's wonderful.
I traded a Plimsoul for ODR-1 (not vintage). It’s been on my board ever since. Thanks for the good ideas.
Thank you
Thanks
Is this a trend that every channel is going to cover? LOL love it!
I think the "Money for Nothing" tone was actually the bridge pickup of Les Paul into a cocked wah.
Could you do a video on sound proofing/ hum elimination of the signal chain.
Great if playing one song. I am a solo musician with my self-produced back tracks of covers. This would be mind boggling on stage as I roll through a set.
Tim is where anyone would like to be now, when perhaps, at age 7 your parents said YES you can have a GUITAR and you SOOOO wanted a guitar, and would wish to spend hours upon hours playing. Not that trumpet because your parents didn’t want you to be “one of those druggy rock stars” 50 years ago. Absolutely a profound professional. Love all you play and the way you present yourself. Humble and a beautiful person. Peace!
That black looks good on a prs
Tks Master
Nobels ought to subsidize you. I don't know that I really *needed* any more overdrive pedals: I have a JB2 Angry Driver (in which you can stack a Boss Blues Driver and an Angry Charlie), a Mosky Golden Horse (Klon Clone), a Caline Pure Sky (Timmy clone that I really like) and a few others, and yes, I stack the Pure Sky and the Blues Driver part of the JB2, goosed with an Orange 2-Stroke, mainly to get my Webb Wilder tones (basically Roots Rock). But Webb's lead guitarist uses the OD1, and after this, I went to a couple more sites to give it a listen, and now I suddenly have one. (face paw)
I have always wondered which two overdrives would pair up to make the best tones. Obviously, they should be two different makes, but which makes, and in which order? The quest goes on.
Nice one, ta fella.
Tim is the Bob Ross of guitar to me
Broadcast sounds like it’s passing the original signal along with the dirt. My MXR Timmy is similar.
Tim is the Guru. Finally found a ODR 1 at a pawn shop. Going back to get it.
What version? Regards from Hamburg
@@nobelsofficial5766 BC version.
@@nobelsofficial5766 They sell new and used gear. This one is new.
Sounds great! Which Cabinet and Mic do you use with the Divided by 13 in this video?
Doesn't Knopfler play a Les Paul on 'Money For Nothing' instead of a Strat, though?! At least that's what the promo video clip and several live performance videos suggest. And on top of having the Tone rolled back on the guitar, there's also a slightly opened Wah-Wah pedal in that sound 🙂
Medium jumbo frets - got it.
Tim’s channel is one of the premiere guitar channels on UA-cam.
Just curious. How thick or what gauge picks do you use? Always a fan of your shows! Thanks for everything!
That’s a purple Dunlop tortex I think
Wondering if you chose the Roebuck over the karma due to accessibility?
Did you swap your Micro Amp for the Boost/Line Driver? If so, how come?
Smooth.
He always looks satisfied with his notes. I want to see what expression he makes when he hits a bum note or when a string breaks.
I actually start laughing when that happens
It is well known, that OD Pedals work all the best in front of an Amp, that is set to already deliver edginess itself. But what obout situations in smaller venues, when you can't push a miked amp (eg. a 15 watt one channel valveamp) into a nice breakup point? What pedal(s) may be most useful after the overdrives that can "clone" the missing amp's edginess? Maybe Greer LS or equivalents?
Stacking overdrives helps emulate a pushed amp, giving you the sustain and dirt we look for. You don’t need to push the amp. Instead, try pushing one pedal into another. I do think going through the loop would do the trick as well though.
Treat the last gain pedal as if it were the amp and your amp as clean power.
I’ve used a ts into a blues breaker to get the sustain and it worked well. The Greer stuff is great for this type of stacking. Experiment. I bet you’ll get what you want eventually.
Fulltone Fat Boost at the end of your chain.
First off you need an amp like Tim has and then then some pedals for seasoning 🧑🍳
tim...legendas...estou no Brasil...please
Tim, would a noise gate pedal eliminate the need for you to use your volume pedal to eliminate non-playing noise?
I'm going to have to get another amp. My '68 Custom Deluxe Reverb("Reissue") won't break up at all even though it's marketed as an amp that breaks up earlier.
What guitar are you using? What volume are you playing a
@@jc5512 I play a Tele, a Big Apple Strat, and a Semi-hollow. The same result with each. I've tried the volume at all levels with each guitar.
@@bradh6185 I can't believe that it won't break up with the volume on 10.
I wish that prs was more gettable. :)
Tim would you try placing the GE7 after the the drive pedals to see if it has less noise.
I’m not Tim, but I put mine before my Boss SD1 for the best possible sounds🤘🎸
never seen those marshalls at the back before.
Are those George L’s solder-less cables?
That makes feel much better about using them. I got 60 solder plugs ready but haven’t made the switch …yet.
Maybe I won’t…ever.
I made a bunch of George L's along time ago and I have to say they are great. The right angle plugs do loosen up overtime so I find a little silicon glue helps, just a touch so the cap doesn't turn
@@timpierceguitar
That is a great extra tip to lock the screw tops.
Your the best Tim!
Thank you.
How about if can't get your amp to the point of edge of breakup in a live situation? How would go about pedal adjustments; same way?
Attenuator
What guitar is he playing?
I remember Bass fret theory.
You got some Duane Allman vibes there
Is that a Knagg Gtr?
I just want to know how to adopt Tim as an uncle?
I think the GE 7 is the best pedal Boss ever put out.
I find no matter how I set overdrive, I can’t get both 3rds and 5ths sounding good. 3rds especially minor 3rds sound way more distorted how do you balance that?
What are you using?
@@friedrudibega6384 I tried Marshal amp on high gain, OCD, Ibanez TS the only one that works the way I like is the Tumnus all the others sound mushy on thirds.
Watching this and Jimmy Fallon with Ed Sheeran. He’s playing Mel Bay cowboy chords on a parlor acoustic and singing with such great melody,lyrics & phrasing. Just loving it. Life is good. Thanks 🙏
16:30
Halfway through this video I realized how amateur I’ve been for the almost three decades I’ve played guitar - when it comes to pedals at least.
Couldn’t agree more. My tone has improved ten fold. And better tone is translating to not putting the guitar down. Couldn’t happen at a better time in my life. Many thanks Tim!
