With most channels, I look through their many videos hoping to find something I'm interested in, and hoping I like it. With your channel, I click on the next lesson available no matter what it says. I always learn something valuable that I can revisit. Thank you tim! You and Ted Greene really make me feel at home with my instrument, the way you view and convey the experience has helped me a ton this year.
In all my years of playing I have found that true fluidity comes with deep emotion and intense life experience. I see too many people now-a-days playing (parroting) songs. They play them really well -but sometimes something is missing. When one can sit and express some "Feel" behind what they are playing with the rhythm of emotion, I see true fluidity. This sounds gentle and constant, really nice. Subscribed.
I think it's safe to say that most of us are here because we really like your brilliant playing, your calm demeanor, and the wisdom you impart. I've got enough clickbait in my feed. Your stuff is a zen refuge from all the noise. BTW - I really enjoyed your "That Pedal Show" appearance!
Tim I will never mind you uploading a video when you see fit! It is pretty much QUALITY over QUANTITY. Seeing you not rushing to clickbait people or being flamboyant in your approach to keep your channel relevant in the "eyes" of the youtube algorithm is what makes this special. I keep rewatching your videos and learning - like a friend that takes is time to show me the magic of music. Thank you so much for your patience and your wilingness to swing as a human.
je vous suis aussi souvent que je peux,malgres que mon anglais soit médiocre mais je vous comprends suffisemment bien ,vous etes le meilleur ,une autre approche du jazz et du blues et comment intégrer les chromatismes dans votre jeu ; j'ai beaucoup appris avec vous merci infiniment.
I ABSOLUTELY GIGGLED ON THAT BIG PAUSE TOWARD THE END (12:06). Silence can just as powerful as notes or chords!!!! You, good Sir, smash it. Thank you for the video.
It is not the amount of your videos published that matters...it is their qualities...and there it is Tim Thanks from Paris and keep on...very good didactic ❤ I bought your book on Amazon...amazing !!!!
I started getting back to this exercise after seeing it at the pedal show. You also mentioned this in one of your courses if I recall but this seems much more thorough. Thanks Tim!
Thank you! I really dislike this tedency most guitar channels are tending towards now days. These really disingenuous thumbnail titles like "The only lick you'll ever need" or "Probably the only guitar video you'll ever need" etc. I really dislike that approach, and its insulting to one's intelligence. You're probably my favorite youtube guitar channel, and your honesty is one reason why. Would this be the tenets of tha dharma shining through?
Thanks Tim- I started watching your videos back in October and I remember feeling like you were speaking another language completely. I really hit the books hard in terms of theory as a began learning jazz since then and while I can’t apply everything in real time yet I understand everything you’re saying in the videos. I remember being completely lost when you would say “D9-also know as F#min7b5 with a b13”. Thanks for all the great content!
Just finished watching you on "That Pedal Show". I'm subscribed and already ordered your Melodic Chord Dictionary. Looking forward to going through your YT catalogue and searching out your music.
Tim, as a predominantly R&B, funk and reggae guitarist I always appreciate the fresh perspective you've provided through my many years of listening. You always seem to get me out of a box or block, and add some different colours of tension and resolve to my playing canvas. Appreciate ya.
Thank you Mr Lerch. Even if by accident I want for you to be know that your videos are appreciated. I'll be waiting for the next chance I get to hear from you. Cheers!
Young Man, thanks to be like you are its not the notoriety is the time and the effort that takes it Congratulations from another Young man whose an apprentice
Hi Tim. Thanx beeing so kind to give us your thoughts and insights. So valuable to get closer in understanding what's going on on the sound that I got to love. Really helpful for me were your lessons on two note punctuation and how to build from there. Would be awesome to hear and see some follow ups. Once again Thank you so much and greetings from Switzerland...
This is great! I particularly like the chromatic, 2 note per chord exercise... It's a little more forgiving. And is giving a starting point to hear/find some full passing chords.
Thank you for another wonderful lesson Tim! This is really useful, I just started working on various chord inversions that allow me to play a given scale with the high note. So far, I've just worked on minor 7th chords played with the top note being the Dorian scale for example and major 7th chords with the Ionian scale. Your lesson is immediately more useable and musical 🙂
I looked at those, but instead sprang for an Eastman T-185 ...has solid woods, abbreviated center block that supports the bridge, ebony board (yes!) wider neck and 25" scale. AND, it was under $1,500! I can use that $5,000 somewhere else., and the Eastman swings like mad.
Thank you for this valuable lesson and for sharing your broad experience. Inspiring as usual! For non-professionals like me a good video from time to time is enough. Haven't got the practice time for more. Greetings from Germany.
You´re awesome, Tim!! Love to watch your videos... BTW, I loved your book, too! I highly recommend it for everyone interested in your music. Regards, from Brazil.
For your next video, I humbly suggest using "Do Nothing Until You Hear From Me" for a chord melody, fluid harmony lesson preferably on the Tele. I can already hear you play it in that eloquent bluesy unique style of yours!
As others have said, you're leagues ahead of me, totally different ball park, I'll never be able to play like this, but it's beautiful to hear. You can really appreciate when someone really cares about creating the best music they possibly can. Subscribed to hear more of whatever you choose to do. 😊
Hi Tim, just discovered you , subscribed moments later...Fabulous! As you know who would say "uh-huh-huh-huh-huh" ( I hope I'm the first to make that terrible pun.)
i get what you're saying. Unfortunately i'm hopeless with theory, playing only by ear and tripping over nice sounding chords. first example of standing D, i thought maybe half way through it could be an E. then you delved into it so deep. mostly, i just wanted to say, your playing is so warm and full of emotion and so peaceful to listen to. gorgeous.
Get familiar with the circle of fifths that will help you so much. He was first just naming off basically the chords that go with E minor. Am, Bm, Em, C,G and D. ✌️.
I thought I would just get buried if I asked it on that pedal shows video, but I wanted to ask what, if any pedals do you use, or have you used? Love both videos. Your explanations in that pedal show video were so amazing. Eye opening.
I have a small pedalboard with a Korg, tuner an RC booster a barefoot honeybee, or a free the tone red jasper and I have a flint for tremolo and reverb in the past. I’ve had more things, but this is what I’ve pared it down to.
This one concept will change the way you comp forever! - there's your clickbait title hah! But truly, these exercises really quickly open up new sounds and break you out of your learnt shapes. My accompaniments sound instantly more musical. I'm looking forward to exploring this more. Thanks Tim!
Love you Tim!! You just be YOU!! We love you and appreciate you a ton!! You are a gentleman and a master of the Guitar.
My ears crossed a threshold, and there’s no turning back! Thx
This is Gold. Thank you for selflessly sharing this with the world. People would charge $100s for this. But thank you. You have a big heart !
It's about quality Tim - not quantity! Your stuff is brilliant and we love it man.
Another outstanding contribution from my favorite Accidental UA-camr.
My favorite guitarist ever since I discovered him a few years ago.

Don't worry, Tim, it is so great to know where to find you because your teaching is extraordinary!

Tim - this is a truly great lesson, and you're making that Collings I-30 LC sound fantastic.

super nice Tim thanks! , just discovered my new favorite teacher!
An excellent concept for developing chord melody abilities.
Thanks, Tim. I always enjoy your videos. Best wishes from the San Francisco Bay Area.
We missed ya Tim !
Tim dropping knowledge.
What a great lesson. Thank you!
Wow…..this is so impressive. So smooth! So feeling! Still waters run deep - and produce chords like these!

Your sound very inspire me, and a lession is hit the point but easy to understand ❤
Bless you and many thanks for sharing!
this is great, just what I need to improve my comping. Thanks Tim.
This lesson is sick
Just finished watching you on "That Pedal Show". I'm subscribed and already ordered your Melodic Chord Dictionary. Looking forward to going through your YT catalogue and searching out your music.
Same I’m here from that pedal show
I'm hardly in the jazz realm right now, but you never fail toget ideas flowing!
Thank you
So elegant.
Congrats, Sir!

Great lesson - perfect, relaxed timing - right portioning of material. And nice infectious "can do" attitude. You are a Natural Born Sensei, Dr Lerch!
Your playing at the 12 minute mark gave me chills and made me a bit emotional. Thankyou.
Thanks Tim!
Great stuff thank you
Great lesson, very practical
Thanks!
You are welcome!
Thanks Tim so much, wonderful lesson!
Master, you're a great artist. Thank you for all.
Young Man, thanks to be like you are its not the notoriety is the time and the effort that takes it Congratulations from another Young man whose an apprentice
Hey Tim, love your content. I loved your interview with that pedal show!
Was just about to say the same thing

Really helpful for me were your lessons on two note punctuation and how to build from there. Would be awesome to hear and see some follow ups.

G5 to L7 to A3rd flat minor to C sharp to L minor. Got it! 👌
Great lesson!
You are an awesome UA-camr Tim!!! Keep goin'!!!
Ohhh I know this trick from lenny.. but I never got the Idea to do it with a jazz standards chors progression 🤦♂️
thanks tim
This is great! I particularly like the chromatic, 2 note per chord exercise... It's a little more forgiving. And is giving a starting point to hear/find some full passing chords.
Good ideas. Nice exercises. Thanks a lot!
I'll never be there but I sure like listening to someone who knows it. Thanks Tim
Nice one, Tim!
what a cool concept. will probably be trying to this for the next life-time. hahaha!
thanks! great lesson!
Wow! That's a great lesson! Thank you so much for that!
Tim, your pocket is just stunning!!! Thank you so very much for bringing us these little gems 🙌🏻
No nonsense guitar! Thanks

Your lesson is immediately more useable and musical 🙂
Great lesson Tim, 'though about half-way through you started rapidly accelerating away from my comfort zone. Love that Collings too.
You might try watching it many times and even slowing it down (even though it will sound like I’ve been drinking )
Thanks for this. Great ideas to expand harmonic options.
Good lesson , I’ll give it a try in my limited fashion😊

This is really a good lesson! (from a guy who looks more like a fly fisherman than a maestro lol)
Nice !!
You rock! huge fan! I try to absorb as much of your knowledge especially since you are a student of the late great Ted Greene...
I got here from d&m show good to be here
10:12 Everything you describe here applies equally "in the bedroom". Many people fail to understand this.
i get what you're saying. Unfortunately i'm hopeless with theory, playing only by ear and tripping over nice sounding chords. first example of standing D, i thought maybe half way through it could be an E. then you delved into it so deep. mostly, i just wanted to say, your playing is so warm and full of emotion and so peaceful to listen to. gorgeous.
This lesson went over me at 37,000 feet but it sure sounded good. Thank you... and more please!
Get familiar with the circle of fifths that will help you so much. He was first just naming off basically the chords that go with E minor. Am, Bm, Em, C,G and D. ✌️.

I don’t use this board very often, only when I’m playing louder things, blues, funk etc.
This one concept will change the way you comp forever! - there's your clickbait title hah! But truly, these exercises really quickly open up new sounds and break you out of your learnt shapes. My accompaniments sound instantly more musical. I'm looking forward to exploring this more. Thanks Tim!
Great one. This'll keep me busy for . . . weeks . . . . months?
