This is now my favorite Rick Beato video. Tim is such a legend!
He is!
Ha! I just left one of your videos to watch this video only to see your comment. What the..
I did like this too! But my favorite interview was with "Junkie".
It's like when those old TV shows when they'd do an episode where they all get together in one town...
Ditto.. been a sub to Tim for a VERY long time....
People like these guys sharing their knowledge is what makes UA-cam worthwhile..
very nice video fellas!!
Thanks Marty!!
Marty - the catalyst for many a UA-cam Guitar Hero. Lots of people owe you a lot of thanks. 5 years since my first Marty Lesson - still playing. Still having fun. Thanks much!
Would love to see the 3 of you "hangin' out" . Love your stuff.
"It's not about the session, it's about the human being." - Tim Pierce
Totally agree!!
Well said.
"Allow your ego to be annihilated and then bring it back strong..." wow.
Yeah, how many of us can do that? Not me for sure.
Rick, you’re among the best interviewers in the music biz. Relevant, conversational, in-depth questions. Totally comfortable and just great content. Well done.
Thank you Paul.
Agreed
I just rewatched this video here in 2023... This comment was so much on point back then. In the meantime Rick has interviewed Brian May, Sting, Keith Jarrett(!!!!) and so many more... and I assume every one of them were maybe hesitant to do an interview with him, but then maybe saw a interview Rick did previously and realised what a great interviewer he is.
My two favorite UA-cam music teachers that I usually don't understand! ;-)
The 3 most important things I learned as a NYC recording session player-composer.
1. Be on time. You can be a Guthrie Govan, but if you're late twice you're off their call list.
2. Don't be a dick. The walls close in very fast for those stuck in the session with you. One of the best musicians I've ever met was blacklisted because he acted like a dick once to the wrong people.
3. Don't laugh hysterically when the client asks if you can make it "more Orange".
You’re allowed to laugh as much as you want if the client asks for a more orange sound.
@@cgiunta6542 Or you could just turn around and plug into an Orange amp with a big grin on your face. ;)
What does number 3 mean?
@@kenbrunet6120A little late but I believe it's related to synthesia.
The great Neil Gaiman once said in a speech: "Be on time, be nice and be good, these are the three cornerstones of successful client work. And almost all of the time two out of three is good"
Sorry about the comments! UA-cam suspended them the other day and I didn’t realize I had to allow them. What a pain. Please comment away!
Collaboration, You two with all the musicians you both know, and all of the collective experience, levels could be reached.
UA-cam "HTML 5 error" again.
Quite frankly, I don't really understand why UA-cam randomly converts uploaded video to either "standard mp4 format" or that horrendous "HTML 5 format".
If it keeps on like this I'll probably find myself unsubscribing from most channels ... :D
What a drag ! Really !
ye jewtube disables comments by default now because of the kiddy fiddlers
So its youtube thats been blocking my comments and not you Rick? I was worried I got bam-hammered or something. :-\
Rick Beato hey Rick , I saw someone else already mentioned this but you should approach Netflix about doing some kind of musician/ studio behind the scenes kind of show. I love your interviews.
Thanks for all of your great things you do.
Beato and Pierce. The kings of UA-cam. Hail to the kings!
Great interview. Rick you did a fabulous job of letting Tim talk. So many interviewers let their ego take over and start cutting off the interviewee.
You are so right about that! He really let's him talk and demonstrate. Just gives the interview a direction and covers the topics. Really good questions too. I the video editing also feels natural. Fantastic interview.
Because he's genuinely interested and wants to learn what Tim has to say
I've never stopped a video 5mins in to comment, however this discussion around reading a clients mood, momentum and vibe killers is so true. Such an important point and the fact that Tim has created a workspace specifically to combat momentum killers while quickly pursuing a 'sanctioned' creative idea is well, genius. Rick, your questions are so insightful. What do they say about better questions get better answers? OK that's enough from me. I've still got 42mins to enjoy 😊
Tim & Rick need to do this more often. These two men are feeding off each other in a magical way 👊
Why have I never thought about the volume pedal as a gate? Tim just changed my life and saved my tone haha!! Thank you for such a great video Rick.
It's not new. Guitarists like Steve Howe, Steve Hackett and Robert Fripp have been using volume pedals since the early seventies.
Don't tell anymore, but there is a volume on your guitar too, and it does the same thing ;-)
@@ThemFuzzyMonsters True, but it cannot be used with the same precision Tim uses his, nor can you put it before and after the effects.
@@northof50now exactly after guitar and letting the signal pass on through and trail out.
so glad I kept some volume pedals.. Jimmy Herring uses them Dweezil Zappa also in clever ways..have to re listen now to hear the volume pedal placements.
Seems it was before delays so they could go through trail out or add in more delay
Dweezil uses axe fx and you can adjust controllers in any point of signal path
so if you want more delay in parts with reverb you can push toe down and more delay heel back would go back to where its not so much things like that still allow the delay to trail on through but you still have option to crank that wet signal up for solo or dynamics.
Herring has volume pedals on everything he can add more amp in or delay or verb and his pedals were setup heel toe where down its more heel back its less or off.
Oh Herring has monitor mixes from his other band mates near him on stage
and he has volumes on each so he mixes the band in his monitors !
If he wants more drums and organ he has it organ too much lower it bring bass drums up
to hear his own mix that does not effect the FRONT OF HOUSE.
BUT he also has volume pedals where he can make reverb or delay BIGGER for solos
that does hit the front of house sound. That sea of volume pedals before Herring is
his stage monitor mix and front of house mix . He does not like in ear monitors
so he mixes with his feet and always has a bit more volume on the amp for dynamic control over the band his own rig and mix and front of house mix from his own rig.
They asked him if he could turn the band down overall and he laughed and said no
it was just for his own mix ... :)
You can use a volume pedal in the effects loop of an amp, too.
Ever notice that when Tim Pierce plays guitar there is an expression of absolute ecstasy on his face? I love playing guitar but Jeez!
If I sounded like that, chances are I would look the same. :D
This happens when you love your work! Such a great dude and inspirational guitar player.
Aren't we all this happy when we are at work?
Great bit about the 90s gear arms race and rolling in with 40 guitars.
Holy cow. I could listen to these guys talk shop all day. Thank you Rick!
This was great. 40 plus minutes and i watched every second. I almost never do that. Thanks Rick!
Please, do another video with Tim!
Those 2 together a real bliss.... They could do so many topics !
They both have great voices and insight!
Michelangelo meets Leonardo da Vinci - Thank you both for everything you've given us.
Tim almost sounds confused by his own genius..what an amazing player & engineer..he just knows where the sweet spot is & what works if that makes sense..incredible
This episode was like a random chapter of a fat encyclopedia , so many teachings, insights, tips, formulas, guidance and mystique...
Tim played on my record, Look at my Face- Russ Coletti, 1984. " UA-cam", One take. He was a roommate with my friend Ricky Philips, Styx.
"I kinda don't know where this cable comes from" that got me cracking up, what a legend. Tim is the man!
Tim should have clipped a tuner on the headstock of his PRS just to tweak Rick.
Or a capo on each guitar.
I felt incredibly vindicated when he made that comment. So much time and love goes into the guitars aesthetics only to be ruined by then clunky claw hand looking capo. Personally, I like schuell capos. They’ sleek.
Tim seems like a genuinely cool guy to hang with. Amazing set up too.
HOLY EPIC DUO. I didn't even realize until this moment that you hadn't been long time friends!!! When are we going to be able to enjoys the songs you've created together??!! Am I right?
Tim's the man. Such a great guy. I've been a member of his Master Class for more than 2 years now. Nothing else like it. Unbelievable that someone of his level is so available. Great job Rick
Yeah but have your guitar skills improved?
Thera Pist Guitar? I thought he was taking about therapy...
"Basically you have to have a big ego, and then you have to allow that ego to be annihilated, and then you have to bring it right back big and strong." Yes, this. Applies elsewhere in life too, haha.18:58
I discovered Rick's UA-cam channel last year and his broad and deep technical music knowledge is staggering. And I don't think anyone I know better expresses the pure joy of guitar playing than Tim. Two national music treasures.
UA-cam is amazing. I love it. I wish we had this kind of thing in the eighties.
If We had it in the 80's- it wouldn't have been the 80's.
There was back then, it just wasn’t as easily accessible. It was all on VHS tapes.
@@pts5217 Hi! Thanks for the reply.
...🤔...so, uh, yeah I suppose...and a whole lot of postal delivery going on...👋😁
Doug Arnold haha. Yep. Thats for sure
Thankfully we didn’t, we developed such a great ear by not having tabs, etc.
The Tim Pierce spaceship is world recognized. Great player!
I was mind blown to find out he played the solo to Runaway!
the way tim's pick just sits on his lap is really something, if it was me it would drop to the floor after six seconds
Cool to see Tim mention the Smiths. I know it was in passing, but I’d love to hear what he’s play to make something that sounds like them.
Thanks for introducing me to so many great musicians, Rick ✌
Two of my favorites !! So much Awesomeness !!
Thank you for sharing this. Two of my favorite youtubers!
Excellent instalment, Rick. Thank you!
amazing interview. Love Tim and Rick
what a great interview! thanks, Rick you're awesome!
I watched a Rick Beato video several months back and wasn't impressed, don't remember why. Tim Pierce is not only a sincere person but an exceptional guitarist, a living legend.. Watching this, Rick got my respect and I'm now a subscriber.
Great conversation! The more preparation you do for recording, the better.
Amazing watch, thanks Rick. Love the content.
This is so good. Learning a lot just by listening to you guys talk.
This is so great! Love Tim’s insight, and Rick always asks great questions!
The last 20 minutes felt like a really excited show and tell. It was AWESOME! That's one of the coolest gear demonstrations I've seen
Totally enjoyed video. Rick, you and Tim need to do more of these videos. Tim, the information you are sharing is priceless. What a hoot. Love both of you guys. Best stuff on YT!
Thanks Rick, love this! Enjoyed hearing from Tim on Tone Talk and this is like a sublime continuation of that chat.
This is one of my favorites of both of you as it opens a rare area. THANK YOU so much.
Hey Rick...thanks for the taking the time to interview Tim. Excellent questions directed at him. I had the pleasure of working with Tim a number of times in the late 80's to 90's. He is truly is as nice in person as he appears in vids. Thanks!
Such an inspiring musician! And such an inspiring conversation! Thank you, Rick!
This is porn for a guitar player. Great video. Dream setup!!
Guy on guy guitar porn is not gay! (Even if it gives you the "blue pill" effect)
Exactly 👌 The knowledge, the dialog, the skill, the setup.. Wow!😮
Truly outstanding, thank you both so much.
Love Tim and love how long the video is! Thanks for doing this, Rick! You're a great interviewer. I love how you give the person space and don't try to insert yourself where you're not needed. I also hope you do more UA-camr musician collabs in the future!
Fantastic. Just fantastic. This made me very happy 😊
This interview was so good. It was kool seeing two guys that just love music but have really invested in their craft. So much knowledge and wisdom in their conversation.
RICK GOD BLESS YOU .. YOUR WORK IS AMAZING ......
Perfect timing. I've been checking out Rick's pages recently. Very cool you two have met up and I look forward to more content. The combined expertise with you two is formidable. Thank you!
This made me smile so much thanks Rick and Tim such an inspiration guy's...
This is absolute gold! Y'all gelled really well, and it was fun seeing you 2 share some laughs over the struggles of running a recording studio :) very cool
Great video, Thanks Rick. Love hearing Tim’s stories. An icon and inspiration
Love watching both you guys. Thanks!
Thanks for featuring Tim! I love his videos and wondered how he would be running those heads to cabinets!
Fascinating stories Tim. Thanks for this Rick!
Two legends! Thanks for the video guys! Genius!
So cool to see you two geniuses together in the same room. So much experience and expertise in one room! Thank you guys!!!
So real and so true! Two Heads together ... Great insights into history and culture of the innovation and work flow. Thanks Rick and Tim always such a pleasure to see you here.
You always keep giving amazing content, Bless you!
Great seeing u2 together Rick...so interesting listening to u pick Tim's brain...Rick and Tim = the ultimate merge of talent on utube...Thx for the great content!
Incredibly insightful in just 10 minutes of watching. Thank you guys!
WOW - I never knew about Tim or his channel and am now subbed...what an excellent interview/very insightful musician...thanks so much, Rick (and Tim)! 💗💗💗
Rick, thank you for introducing all of us to wonderful dedicated musicians and also human beings!
Both of these guys are so pleasant to watch. Real quality content, thanks Rick thanks Tim!
Awesome interview with Tim! Love seeing how he works and getting a behind the scenes view of his whole rig and setup. Keep up the great work with these interviews and informative videos! I wholeheartedly agree about having setup where everything is in it's own place, as to not kill the momentum of a session.
Two guys I could listen to forever. Thanks.
rick thanks for this. Watched an interview wifh Tim ages ago and this just notched it up.
You guys are legends.
Wow Rick, thanks for being such an open and information sharing guitarist
... This interview is such a treat!
Tim Pierce is an absolute beast! Great interview... Great content... Thanks Rick
Getting back to this video I can appreciate more Tim’s approach to workflow. He make everything easy to tweak and record, he gets t he sound right for the recording and just dedicates to play. Huge video. Thanks again Rick!
Two of my favorite dudes right there. Thanks guys.
Great video. Two of the best in the biz!
I love how open Tim is to show how he does stuff, amazing player with an amazing resume, and yet still truly humble. Seems like a guy I love to just hang out with. Very genuine.
This video is a huge time-saver for me...I get to watch 2 of my favorite UA-camrs at the same time! Thanks Rick & Tim!
Amazing insight! Been a fan of both of you guys' channels for a while now! Great to see the mutual respect and admiration for each other. And Tim, your cockpit setup is insane! Can't believe how all those pedals and effects are plugged in and ready to go at will. Amazing stuff!
Amazing interview. Tim is such a great guitarist and incredible source of information for gear and what works. Great stuff. This is the kind of stuff that makes UA-cam great.
This was great to watch. Aside from learning a few tricks, it's great to watch such enthusiastic, talented people gab about gear, process and mindset for making great music. Thank you both.
Fantastic interview. These guys are pure genius.
2 of the best uploaders together. Awesome.
41:02 " I kinda don't know where this cable comes from" ...I spit my drink out laughing because he said it so sheepishly and genuinely.. Tim seems like such a nice guy. And as far as his playing..his touch or the way he varies the way he attacks his notes with a pick sometimes or his fingers others makes his solos so expressive almost lyrical. So good. I had never really heard someone do it as well as Tim and I just love to hear him picking a beautiful line and then just did in with a bend wow! Plus he plays with such joy and his faces when he is making those expressive notes match. How a client couldn't just love to watch him work if he is doing this for them to their music. Powerful stuff. As a music lover and wanna be guitar player it is so enjoyable.
The best two on YT!! Great video guys :)
My two favorite UA-camrs together, it doesn't get any better than that.
Rick, no doubt to me, your best interview ever. Been following Tim forever, and to watch you two talk was amazing. Thanks for this.
I know NOTHING about guitars but that was awesome. Great job by both Tim and Rick.
Great...you guys are amazing together....thanks.
Really insightful interview Rick, great questions ! especially about Tims signal path.
What an excellent video. I have watched Rick for years and love this interview with you. Glad I found you Tim and look forward to seeing more now that i know about you. Cool idea about the mirror and multi keyboard and mouse control.
This was amazing!!! Thank you!!
I’ve become a huge fan of both of you!. I’m so excited to actually understand most of what you guys are saying. I can only imagine where music is going to go with people like you guys coaching us! Good on you guys! No secrets! Way to pay it forward gentlemen!
Thank you Rick and Tim- you are the East-West summit of Modern Music Producers- and just down-to -Earth Good Guys, (and great Guitarists !!) Keep asking all the right questions !!
Great interview. I've been subscribed to Tim's channel for awhile and yours as well. I'm from Albuquerque and I remember seeing Tim play when he was a member of a popular local band here before he made a name for himself in the session world. Good stuff.
Wow, another awesome video Rick. Tim is such a wealth of knowledge and his thoughts on workflow here feel like the rosetta stone for me. I've built a small cockpit type of station but more out of the needs to quickly grab synths and guitar items. This has given me a ton of inspiration to finish up the signal chains so I can instantly switch out. Definitely building an iso box this summer. Thanks guys for this!
Brilliant Rick & Tim
