Tim tells guitarists everywhere to turn their amp up. Guitarists everywhere turn their amp up. Tim tells guitarists everywhere to play more softly with nuance and dynamics. Guitarists everywhere didn't hear him because they turned their amp up.
If there was no master volume on my amps, it'd make no difference, I even have one that is graduated to 11... But I don't like to play too loud, so, at home, I will only use a single EL84 per channel, thus, when you use the EV speakers, each being as loud as a Greenbacks-loaded 4x12, hopefully there are the Audax F30PA12 loaded cabs: they have only 95.3dB sensitivity and are as accurate as the EVs, it's even why I keep 'em
lyrical. there is no other way to describe Tim's playing. a master craftsman at the height of his powers, it's a real pleasure to see the joy he derives in passing on this knowledge. thanks, man.
Man, this is an amazing time for being a guitarist. All these informations were barely available when I first started playing guitar in the late 90’s. You had to know people in the (local) industry and/or read guitar magazines. Now you just turn on your computer and here’s Tim. One of LA finest. Do we always really appreciate the value these videos? Thanks Tim, I know I’m better musician because of your videos!
Tim Pierce is a monster and must have played 24x7 for about 100 years - each time I hear some nice guitar on a record I always happen to see that he played it. Thank you Tim for your contribution to the music industry and for sharing your experience 😎👍❤️
Everyone watching will need to decide whether they should follow Tim's advice, or not. But, with 1,222 song recording credits from at least 1974 - 2019 (Allmusic Apr. 2020), pretty sure Tim's advice has stood the test of time. 😉
Right and what songs? I mean the songs represent some of the great recordings in history. Unbelievable bio and catalogue! Gem of a man and and gifted teacher as well
This is possibly the greatest segment on tone I’ve ever seen, simple and extremely effective. I’ll have to change my approach to picking, but the few hours I’ve tried it have made a huge difference. Hearing the notes bloom puts a smile on my face. When I picked hard and heard the “choking” Tim mentioned, it was eye opening. Thank you sir.
As always, jam packed with great insights, tips, sound and playing. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge with the community in this format! Love your videos.
This is very important for making a fleshed out tone, and that's what I believe we all strive for. Amazing! Although I do wonder, will you ever make anymore stories on the tracks you played guitar on in the near future?
Mr. Pierce, you continue to joyfully impart a lifetime of learning and experience with such an open heart. Being part of your youtube is like having (Name All Your Guitar Heroes) as part of the family, patiently instructing us, who we can go to or ask right in our home! Respect!!!
Absolutely love the tone you have on this video! Plus after 55 years of playing thanks to you I have discovered the mystery of soft and hard picking in a solo. Never to old to learn. Thanks
Thanks ! Your playing is always so tasty and your advices eyes opening. Discovering your channel few weeks ago has already had a positive influence on my playing. I think you have reshaped my idea of a guitar hero, and you are damn high on my list.
This idea of holding the pick like a butterfly's wing is the best advice I've received in months. Thanks Tim. I loved the whole video and look forward to more advice.
This is one of greatest, eye opening, enlightening (not so) secret I’ve came across. I first heard it when you were talking to Rick Beato about it. Thanks for sharing!!!
Awesome video Tim. This is so helpful in achieving that amazingly tasteful sound that is always a hallmark of your playing. Loved the Les Paul too. There's just something almost indefinably special about the sound of these guitars when compared with say a PRS to my ears. Also thanks for the bit on rushing ahead when playing too loud compared with the backing music. I always do this and it is so encouraging that it also happens to a player of your stature.
Tim, the best thing about this video is watching the smile on your face when you cut loose in that solo at about 2:38. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and your talent with us.
Great advice and playing there, Tim. How come you’re not even more famous 😄? I could listen to your playing all day. Could you tell is about that gorgeous Les Paul too, please?
Great tips Tim , especially the playing soft with the amp loud. two favorite masters of mine who do this are Terry Kath and Keith Richards. Kath is intense with Huge dynamics and Keith today seems to play so effortlessly lightly coaxing each note out of the guitar.
I told my wife that watching your channel was going to increase my size and sustain. When I grabbed the guitar she was disappointed.
Too good bro...
lol😂
she probably suspected there were strings attached
@@BrianGallagher 😂
Well, Austin Powers can recommand you an expander device.
Wife would like me being of lesser size and sustain
The happiest guitar player on UA-cam (Maybe tied with Tommy Emmanuel). Love the smiles and pure joy when you play Tim. 😁

He has a fantastic combination of melodic and technical skill, then he ices the cake by having fun.
yes! Tim creates melodic MUSIC and just happens to use a guitar most of the time as the tool to bring it into the world. legendary.
yeah. how does he find those notes? mind boggling. that is one of the reasons I am visiting this channel.
A true Master. How fortunate we are to have lesson's. Much appreciated.
It’s hard to adequately express how important and helpful this lesson is. Thank you for hitting the bullseye of both educating and entertaining!

Man that’s 1 of the most beautiful les Paul’s I’ve ever seen
Seriously. That top is some art.

Yep. Agreed
Saw that he traded it in at Normans for another Guitar

I dig those advice you share with us , mostly because they are common sense and easy to apply. And the attitude that goes along with those is awesome.
Thank you Tim, very helpful advice, I'm guilty of not paying attention to my pick dynamics so this has prompted me to address it!
