      Thank you for this nice comment. In 40 years as a studio musician we were always encouraged to be in the background. The thing about UA-cam is you have to be a bit of a show off in order to have videos that people click on, and watch...

      @@timpierceguitar At least in my little kid musician world, I find that guitarists, vocalists, drummers, bassists all seem to be more interested in showing off than just playing great music. I’m kind of guilty of this from time to time as well but I also enjoy playing “simple” songs that I love just as much if not more so than songs that are difficult to play. Has this always been the case with musicians or do you think UA-cam is partially to blame? Cuz ya gotta show off to get views?

    I was watching, the other day, to your discography, and noticed you also played in a song form Clouseau, the brothers Wauters, probably Jean Blaute, the producer from these great artists. And so the world got a little smaller. I love the PRS guitars, their gorgeous and I believe you they are sounding amazing. On this part of the world, you won't find very much the brand here.

    Sounds like a good time. I'd love to join in, but I still haven't been able to get my hands on my first guitar yet

    TIM!!! Just when I think you can't play with any more class and feel you put the pick down and take it to another level!! That was epic my friend! Keep being you!

    the light pointing up at the bottom of the guitar in "performance 2" makes it look space-age and otherworldly
