How inspiring. Nothing like listening to real professional guitarists, who are so low key but are the backbone of the industry. Another little gem tucked away in the vastness of UA-cam. So glad I have found this .................... thanks AGN
Carl is just a total badass, one of the tastiest players ever. The thumb under the neck thing blew my mind, the slide up to the 13, the Lenny Breau chord. I could listen to him play AND speak all day. Great episode, one of the best.
I’ve always heard of Carl but didn’t really know what he was all about. His little bit of playing in his clip totally blew me away! Awesome player as is the legendary Tim Pierce!
I always learn new things from Carl Verheyen all the time. He's an amazing guitarist. I learned his intervallic concepts. When I play his string skipping ideas I sound different then my peers. He's gold mine of musical ideas.
Amazing that people don't know just how incredible a player Carl is/has been for decades, a complete monster! So cool to see Tim and Carl sit down and talk shop.
watching master players learn from each other is always fun. My life growing up and never realizing what was going on as a young boy.....I love that I grew up around such great players....lol. What a JOY I'm thinkin drums the whole time.......
Wow... I didn't know that Tim Pierce played on the Toy Matinee record. I guess at the time I discovered that album, I didn't know who Tim Pierce was. I was at a Dollar store many years ago, and behind the register on the wall... there were some CD's for sale. Toy Matinee was one of them for $1. I bought one because I was curious. When I played it I was blown away. I went back to the Dollar store and bought the other 9 copies that they had there, and gave them to some of my friends at the time! Great sounding record!
This was my first cup of coffee for the day. Nice way to feed the brain. 2 masters chewing the fat over a couple guitars, no effects, no gimmicks, just a lifetime of skill and taste.
Aloha Tim! Eh Braddah, I really enjoyed this one and the funny thing is that I was listening to Supertramp on my iPod for a few bars and skipped to next song. The songs on my iPod at least were selected because I like it but skip over many of them. I remember Supertramp back in the day and jammin’ (“kanikapila” in Hawaiian) the songs many times over. I did not know anything about any of the members in Supertramp but now have a renewed interest and a respect for Carl. I appreciate this entertaining, educational….”Piercing“ da soul video. Mahalo nui loa to you and Carl for sharing your time! Aloha Braddahs….
The finest guitar player (Carl)most people have never heard of….this guy’s playing is off the scale…..why oh why haven’t I heard more of this master….Tim as always an amazing guitar talent and right on point.
Yeah, me too. Still take from him. As I'm sure you'd agree, aside from being an incredible player and teacher, he's just the coolest, warmest cat going.
It puts it into perspective on the food chain of guitarists when a guy like Carl Verheyen, one of the true Alphas on the instrument, is a relatively obscure musician in pop culture. He is so GD good!
Cool interview! Great playing by both of you guys! Very informative as well! I actually have a THD Hot plate (8 Ohms) as well so when Carl said that I knew exactly what he was talking about. Keep rockin' guys!
Saw Carl in New Port Beach, CA. Loved the story of him doing a commercial for Albertson Supermarket and how that one bit paid off his house! Great guitar player!!
Actually, Tim has a few videos on his channel where he stops someone and says,"Wait a minute-show me that again." That's one of the cool things about him-all that skill and experience, but he's still eager to learn new stuff!
Tim Pierce (despite being a monster player himself across a zillion genres) is always getting schooled & it’s one of his best qualities - Zero ego, always eager to learn more, always happy to let others take the lead & willing to ask the questions most people would want to ask but wouldn’t. There’s countless great players on UA-cam, but very few as loved as Tim for this reason.
Have watched 1/3 of this; very enjoyable! Loved Carl since I discovered him at streaming services and was just like "who is this guy?"; love his playing! He seems like a very likable guy too!
Had the pleasure to see CVB at the Lemon Tree in Aberdeen, Scotland a few years back where he played / sang wonderfully and shared his stories about routinely doing a variety of sessions in a single day ... country tunes, rock session work, sight reading film scores, etc ... his playing is wonderfully fluid and melodic ... I went to the gig fully loaded with my copies of most of his solo / CVB and Supertramp studio CDs on which he played and had a great chat with him as he signed them all as well as a couple of gig posters ... genuinely a very personable, humble guy who has put in the time practicing for thousands of hours .... I buy his albums as each is released (I'm "all in") and will always make the effort to see him anytime he visits the UK .... as a starter, do check out Trading 8's, Mustang Run, recent album Sundial if you are interested .... CMcG, Aberdeen, Scotland.
Great conversation gentlemen. I seem to love multiple preamps, because they offer drastically different top end sounds, and those have a handful of output sections that further adjust their flavor in the bottom end. If the effects remain on the chosen preset, reverb or delay, the tails trail out. MIDI patch changing, allowing me to keep playing right through any of the changes. I’m not very good, and not very well educated, so there are lots of brick walls that I try to get around with random tones. I mean, if you can’t BE good, might as well SOUND good. Long live the racks, PITAs.
What a great interview. I watched this intently and learned a bunch from this. thanks so much for all the interesting talk and instruction. Both of you are phenomenal guitar players and yet so humble with your talents. The little thumb under thing was remarkable, I will be trying that. lol. maybe. Thanks for this video Tim.
Just by looking at your picking hand I can tell your a top notch perfesional I'm not saying my secret but your a pro both you and Mr Pierce my Duke City fellow New Mexicano ..this vedio was inspiring the wow factor 100%..Roland J Gutierrez aka RocknRollflat5 from Magdalena New Mexico USA 🇺🇸
Carl absolutely loved your work with Supertramp. Your phrasing was astounding and that tone .Wow . Also the Mobile Fidelity recording of Crime of the Century was IMO is in the top 5 recordings of all time. On my Klipsch Cornwalls its epic. What guitar and amp was used on it?
He joined in the 80s/90s. I'm pretty sure all the electric parts on Crime of The Century was Roger Hodgson. The original guitarist, who actually got the spot over Scott Gorham of Thin Lizzy, left after the first album. Actually, I think all guitar parts were Hodgson after the first album.
@@shawnmcvey7789 Scott Gorham was a possibility of a second guitarist just in time for the recording of "Crime of the Century" (because then-new Supertramp drummer Bob Siebenberg was married to Scott Gorham's sister) but the band instead opted for a wind instruments player and hired John Helliwell instead in 1973. But you can hear Scott singing backing vocals on "hide in your shell" (uncredited) and playing guitar on the title track "brother where you bound" in 1985, sharing the electric guitars parts with Marty Walsh and David Gilmour, the latter playing all guitar solos.
To be able to reduce Tim to that 12 year old kid in the back of the music store...even for a brief moment, is amazingly entertaining. Tim is a monster, which makes me very very scared of Carl.
Saw this as well…. Tim would be the first to concur, he’s a humble Gem 🎸🎼💎 And Carl…..where there’s fire, there’s smoke….and it’s 38” of pure silken smoke here….. Now excuse me I have some Fender firewood to post on Craigslist….🎸🪓
What a killer video! two geniuses laying it out... Brilliant. and any Shandling reference makes it only 1000% better .. Toss in a lil 'Milagro Beanfield War' reference to boot and holy crap, lol where does it end....
Tim, a great interview. I shouldn't be surprised that great guitarists, like you, are also avid learners gleaning new ideas endlessly. *Say, I wish I could identify which UA-cam video I saw it in, but Roy Buchanan once showed his capabilities in "finger gymnastics" doing some freaky gyrations showing his range of motion. If I find it, I'll post it. Or, perhaps someone else recalls where it is.
oh man, how did I miss this superior guitarist, he is mind blowing in his mastery of guitar. I probably only felt this way after the first time I heard Robben Ford, like who is this wizard? Still have the vinyl Breakfast in America with the cover of Rosie and the milkshake? and I still play it on vinyl. This guy is incredible.
All the awesome acoustic guitar, electric guitar, wah & Leslie guitar parts on Supertramp albums (early ones had a lot of guitar) was played by the best; wurlitzer/fender rhodes electric piano, Hammond organ, vocalist & songwriter in Supertramp. His name is Roger Hodgson who literal musical genius & multi-instrumentalist savant. One of the most talented musicians ever in the history of modern music. Carl Verheyen plays for a Hodgsonless Supertramp covering Rogers classic guitar parts.
The mention of Joe D'orio brought back a old memory from the seventies of late nights at the Rancher lounge in Miami of him and Ira Sullivan rocking the house.
Carl's first playing example reminds me of Eric Johnson's 'string skipping' but applied to jazz. What a great player! Tim's playing is tasteful and melodic as always.
I thought the first time I heard Verheyen was off of those guitar show & tell videos he did probably 20 years ago, UNTIL I heard he was Supertramp's touring guitarist and years earlier I'd seen them at a summer festival. He didn't get to play nearly anything as cool as this so I didn't pay him much attention that year at the show. But after researching him a bit the appreciation went up to the stratosphere. I mean for Christ sake, Pierce is incredible but Carl made him look sort of studenty here! I mean he's just so unspokenly confident... intimidating for sure.
Goodlord, what a player! Is there anything this cat can't play? I mean, when you're going head-to-head with Tim Pierce and he is getting excited you know you're a legend. Funny thing is, not many people know who this guy even is! I've enjoyed his playing going all the way back to when I was 17 years old..1980. Could you even imagine the guy playing a high gain amplifier like an EVH and running around with those guitar line's. EPIC! Is there anybody in the music business that Kim Pierce doesn't know...haha!❤😁👍
I love it when a guitar player's surprising lick makes another guitar player laugh with joy. That was INCREDIBLE!
Carl Verheyen is one of the most accomplished musicians to ever play the electric guitar. He's an inspiration. Thanks!
I met and was a production manager on a couple of shows with Carl. A super nice guy and, oh man, what a player. So good.

Jeez this guy is a monster!!
Agreed I love the way he plays for sure ! Super Seasoned !
Yeah, this was pretty insane.
I always learn new things from Carl Verheyen all the time. He's an amazing guitarist. I learned his intervallic concepts. When I play his string skipping ideas I sound different then my peers. He's gold mine of musical ideas.
Just when you think you’ve got a few things figured out, Tim and Carl turn up...
Carl is a top player. I love his tone and playing.
Well... Since I found this video, 2020 ain't so bad. 2 absolute legends🎸
Fun fact: Carl went to school with EVH in Pasadena. Ed used to borrow his guitar every once in a while.
Wow, that's interesting. Thanks for sharing that bit of info. Two greats, from the same school.
New Year’s Day is one of my all time favorite tunes! And, Carl.......one of my all time favorite players! Great guy, as well.
One of the only times I’ve said wow to myself watching a UA-cam video.
Woah, never heard of Carl Verheyen but I damn well have now. Dude can play!
I first saw him on Norman’s Rare Guitars. Apparently he does a lot of session work. Another guy who is amazing and people don’t is Jack Pearson.
You never heard of him but you will have heard a lot of stuff by him, these top session guys were on every TV show and movie soundtrack for years.
Amazing that people don't know just how incredible a player Carl is/has been for decades, a complete monster! So cool to see Tim and Carl sit down and talk shop.
watching master players learn from each other is always fun.
My life growing up and never realizing what was going on as a young boy.....I love that I grew up around such great players....lol. What a JOY
I'm thinkin drums the whole time.......
Wow...just Wow! I feel diminished and minor at the same time after watching this...wonderful.
Pretty wild when Tim gets schooled. How awesome. Shows there is always something to learn...
Wow... I didn't know that Tim Pierce played on the Toy Matinee record. I guess at the time I discovered that album, I didn't know who Tim Pierce was. I was at a Dollar store many years ago, and behind the register on the wall... there were some CD's for sale. Toy Matinee was one of them for $1. I bought one because I was curious. When I played it I was blown away. I went back to the Dollar store and bought the other 9 copies that they had there, and gave them to some of my friends at the time! Great sounding record!

Aloha Tim! Eh Braddah, I really enjoyed this one and the funny thing is that I was listening to Supertramp on my iPod for a few bars and skipped to next song. The songs on my iPod at least were selected because I like it but skip over many of them. I remember Supertramp back in the day and jammin’ (“kanikapila” in Hawaiian) the songs many times over. I did not know anything about any of the members in Supertramp but now have a renewed interest and a respect for Carl. I appreciate this entertaining, educational….”Piercing“ da soul video. Mahalo nui loa to you and Carl for sharing your time! Aloha Braddahs….
This was just awsom!
And I just realzed that in my nearly 64 years of existance it's the 1st time I've used the word "awsom".
The finest guitar player (Carl)most people have never heard of….this guy’s playing is off the scale…..why oh why haven’t I heard more of this master….Tim as always an amazing guitar talent and right on point.
I’ve had a lot of lessons from Carl. Ten years later I’m still trying work decipher my notes
Yeah, me too. Still take from him. As I'm sure you'd agree, aside from being an incredible player and teacher, he's just the coolest, warmest cat going.
Paul Michael Smith for real
This was awesome. Both guitarists are so inspiring. I regret that I have missed Carls gig in Karlsruhe (Germany) several months ago
Two friends, two fantastics proffesionals. Thanks Tim, Carl is one of mi top ten Electric Guitar players. ‘I love you Porgy’ is wonderful.
Great interview. Carl Verheyen is a legend.
It puts it into perspective on the food chain of guitarists when a guy like Carl Verheyen, one of the true Alphas on the instrument, is a relatively obscure musician in pop culture. He is so GD good!
Great chat and lesson, thanks!
What a touch and amazing technique. Just wow!!
Two very humble masters of the guitar ..funny a Princeton & Strat Carls setups bringing it back home !
Man... Carl is just a monster player - Supertramp music was just awesome - Tim is of course a boss!
Cool interview! Great playing by both of you guys! Very informative as well! I actually have a THD Hot plate (8 Ohms) as well so when Carl said that I knew exactly what he was talking about. Keep rockin' guys!
Saw Carl in New Port Beach, CA. Loved the story of him doing a commercial for Albertson Supermarket and how that one bit paid off his house! Great guitar player!!
Tim Pierce getting schooled. Never thought I would see that.
I wouldn't say that that happened...
With all due respect to Tim, I feel ya on getting schooled ..
Streets of Vancouver.... Carl is teaching a song to Tim.that is schooling
Actually, Tim has a few videos on his channel where he stops someone and says,"Wait a minute-show me that again." That's one of the cool things about him-all that skill and experience, but he's still eager to learn new stuff!
Tim Pierce (despite being a monster player himself across a zillion genres) is always getting schooled & it’s one of his best qualities - Zero ego, always eager to learn more, always happy to let others take the lead & willing to ask the questions most people would want to ask but wouldn’t.
There’s countless great players on UA-cam, but very few as loved as Tim for this reason.
Carl seems like a great guy. Not sure if I’m inspired or wanna give up 😂
Never give up. Enjoy music. You’ll never sound like anybody else but yourself no matter how hard you try. It’s a journey 😃
six minutes in and my mind has already been blown multiple times
Have watched 1/3 of this; very enjoyable! Loved Carl since I discovered him at streaming services and was just like "who is this guy?"; love his playing! He seems like a very likable guy too!
Carl's skills are what you aspire to having after practicing and learning guitar for 40 years.
In my case 60+
Had the pleasure of spending a day with Carl a few years ago, super nice guy with some great stories.
Just witnessed some greatness
Absolutely awesome 😎.
Two MASTERS at work! Now I know I REALLY suck........
Had the pleasure to see CVB at the Lemon Tree in Aberdeen, Scotland a few years back where he played / sang wonderfully and shared his stories about routinely doing a variety of sessions in a single day ... country tunes, rock session work, sight reading film scores, etc ... his playing is wonderfully fluid and melodic ...

I love the show.
Playing superb.
Perfect tone from where i,m sitting.
WOW! That guy blows my mind
one of the best guitarists in the business right here
carl is the ultimate. i remember his columns in guitar magazine (for the practicing musician)
What a great interview. I watched this intently and learned a bunch from this. thanks so much for all the interesting talk and instruction.

Blown Away. New Guitar Hero to check out. Awesomeness.

New I'd like this fella when he said not much melody in shredding. shoe's and socks off for next lesson 😂 thanks and respect to you fellas.
Wow. Thank you that is awesome. Carl has got all the moves and plays so effortlessly. Fun new chords to learn.
2 legends making music.
35 years of playing, I just watched this video, …..and NOW I decide to practice!!! I don’t have another 35 years in me (I don’t think)
This is ringing a rather large bell 🔔
I once heard the guitar solo in garage sale on a guitar magazine cd in the 90’s. Carl blew my mind in that!!!
jaw on the floor need a crane to get it back attached to my head again. What a guitar player / musical genius ! Wow!
To be able to reduce Tim to that 12 year old kid in the back of the music store...even for a brief moment, is amazingly entertaining. Tim is a monster, which makes me very very scared of Carl.
Saw this as well….
Tim would be the first to concur, he’s a humble Gem 🎸🎼💎
And Carl…..where there’s fire, there’s smoke….and it’s 38” of pure silken smoke here…..
Now excuse me I have some Fender firewood to post on Craigslist….🎸🪓
So wonderfully outside ALL the boxes, Carl makes the blues soooo melodic! Yowee!
❤ inspiring session
Outstanding!
What a killer video! two geniuses laying it out... Brilliant. and any Shandling reference makes it only 1000% better .. Toss in a lil 'Milagro Beanfield War' reference to boot and holy crap, lol where does it end....
Great interview and great playing! Thoroughly injoyed your stories.
Watching this again. Did you practice that country tune, or does it just flow from years of experience playing rock, jazz, and blues?
Tim, a great interview. I shouldn't be surprised that great guitarists, like you, are also avid learners gleaning new ideas endlessly. *Say, I wish I could identify which UA-cam video I saw it in, but Roy Buchanan once showed his capabilities in "finger gymnastics" doing some freaky gyrations showing his range of motion. If I find it, I'll post it. Or, perhaps someone else recalls where it is.
Carl Verheyen is an absolute beast. This is cool to see.
Very interesting - Thanks Tim!
great advice on using just three tones. a holy trinity
oh man, how did I miss this superior guitarist, he is mind blowing in his mastery of guitar. I probably only felt this way after the first time I heard Robben Ford, like who is this wizard? Still have the vinyl Breakfast in America with the cover of Rosie and the milkshake? and I still play it on vinyl. This guy is incredible.

Around 16:30, Using your thumb to hit an A note on the E string is so sweet! Wow...!
Wow, two of the best together
Thoroughly enjoyed this!
Hi Carl, from your Dana Point friend, great interview.
Carl's first playing example reminds me of Eric Johnson's 'string skipping' but applied to jazz. What a great player! Tim's playing is tasteful and melodic as always.
Is Carl still set up the trem like u used to do ?..the spring tension looser (for top string) ang tighter spring tension for bottom string..
This made me happy
Two masters of their craft.
Thumbs up. Literally!
Open up those intervals, yep! I like this
Ok players this is Awesome show Tim thx your such a gentleman 🇨🇦🙏
Great playing, great stories. I feel like the lucky fly on the wall.
Excellent!
Tim is the greatest teacher
I thought the first time I heard Verheyen was off of those guitar show & tell videos he did probably 20 years ago, UNTIL I heard he was Supertramp's touring guitarist and years earlier I'd seen them at a summer festival.

Great video , thanks for sharing
Predivno prijatelji😎⚡️⚡️⚡️✨
2 of my favorite musicians
The Cm blues filled my big room and made me smile bigger. Thanks, guys.
Love this. Learned a few things. Thx so much
I hadn't watched the whole video when I commented. I'm not even close. He's the guitarist I wish I was!
I very much agree with Carl about having just a few great tones.
Well...That was ridiculous! WOW!
refreshing episode
