      I agree Michael Palmisano, 100%! Maybe for others, their ears and soul will open 1 day. I grew up with all shredded, and that’s how I played, UNTIL 1 day, playing VERY LOUD, the Beatles Revolver, and Eleanor Rigby came on, and that cello hit me so hard, it felt like I was listening to Tornado Of Souls! And I was opened up from then on! Siigghhh, everyone has their own journey to go through.

Sure you have to put in the grind to get better every day but the reward should be a massive smile on your face when you finally let rip and play that chord progression, riff or solo 🤩

It is so useful and provides as much knowledge as I can use when I as an amateur guitarist try to advance. The professional course is too advanced for me yet but I have huge benefit just from watching the short but very informative videos you make. You got that swing!

    Back in 1987, my writing partner and I had a song that we knew deserved to be kicked up to the next level of production, and that it was time to spend serious some money on a song of ours, get sounds and performances that had previously, been above our pay grade. Our music attorney, a very nice guy named Gary Stamler, said, "hold the phone," and then a minute later, "bring your masters to this guy's studio, this address, on Monday morning," -- and then, characteristically for a lawyer, and also for Tim Pierce, I would later discover, Gary said, "Don't be late, and be prepared to be done in less than an hour." So we brought out tapes, this Tim Pierce guy brought his chops and his gear, and sure enough, he laid down a wonderful Middle-8 solo and outro that indeed, lifted our song to the next level. We were also pleasantly surprised by the cost. Tim was, and remains, an amazing player, and always brought his "A" game to even the lowliest of sessions (like ours), or to performances for the stars that he mentions in his videos.
