the best thing that ever happened to me was when youtube recommended Tim. every video gets me in a different way, and your enthusiasm while playing makes me want to be better. there's always something new to learn from Tim and i'm so glad you share your knowledge with your audience. thank you!
Tim is like your jovial uncle at the BBQ who always offers you a beer and asks if you've heard any good stories lately, upon which he launches into his own. His playing is far beyond anything I'll achieve, but I can watch him just for the sheer enjoyment of seeing someone do something they love. Thanks Tim. You're the best.
The guitar riffs that come out of this guy's head are absolutely mind blowing !!! My guitar hero since the 1980s !!! And he keeps getting better every year !!!!!
I just did a gig for the first time in months and we played Crossroads, it was the first solo I learned from Tim. Several people asked me how I nailed the guitar, I lied and told them it was glorious results of a misspent youth, but the TRUTH? Tim Pierce is the man. If you ever get to Ireland Tim let me know, I can give you and the wife and "insiders" tour. Im originally from San Francisco but after 17 years here Im qualified! Thanks for the amazing lessons. Im too poor for the Masterclass but it is on my Christmas list for this year.
This fingering "trick" is a traditional strategy used on the ancient Indian instruments, Vina and Sitar, where they shift up on the 2nd finger and down on the 1st finger, and the melodic playing takes place on a single string. Beautiful and inspiring application of the technique by Tim, as always. Thanks
You're so talented and gentle on how to teach a concept. It invites me immediately to grab my guitar and try the walking around and exploring the neighborhood... Great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge
I checked this out in the MasterClass as well . . . it's golden. Not only does this technique help me use more of the fretboard and the high and lower registers -- it sounds more like I'm playing the chord tones at the right times (no more "running up and down one pentatonic position") because I can stop the slide in a place that my ear tells me is right. That's the best thing about this method, in my view!
Tim, ich bewundere immer wieder Deine lockere, aber stilistisch sehr sichere Spielweise, Du bist ein hervorragender Gitarrist, ohne wenn und aber. Beste Grüße, Horst Lemke, Musikproduzent & Studiogitarrist, Germany
Such a simple concept, and it’s changed how I will forever look at the guitar. I wish I saw this 3 years ago, thank you! I have struggled with connecting all of the scales, and I can’t believe it was such a simple concept that I was missing. I always wondered how the pros connect everything so effortlessly, and this really demonstrates that. Thank you!!! Best teacher on UA-cam, hands down.
Hi Tim! Big fan. This was a great lesson. Super helpful. I'm 61 years old. I've been playing guitar since I was 14. You caught my attention with your tasty melodic chops. The music you have played on is everything I've always loved lol. Maybe it's because of you?! Bon Jovi to Slipknot John Waite and more. Everything tasty and melodic and your tone is delicious. Thank you for everything you do. I don't have much to say that you haven't heard a thousand times so I will just leave it at thank you. Thank you for your fun personality You're amazing guitar playing and the imprint you've left on the musical fabric of my life. I know we don't know each other but I want to say "buddy" lol. Thanks buddy.
Learning the entire fretboard is probably the fundamental to learning anything and everything else in my opinion. A really important lesson and showcase here man! Cheers for the hard work!
practice in a mirror until you can look straight ahead and think notes and you just go to them. You won't completely stop looking at your hand but it solved my neck cramps lol
Tim playing over his own notes on the track perfectly in unison and time makes me want to slap myself silly. And Tim's facial expressions when playing a demo always have such happiness and humour, it's just as entertaining. You ROCK, Tim!
That was avery awsome lesson and very inspiring. This dude is one true hero. Been viewing him alot . And awsome rhat hes stays excited about this stuff. It truly runs in his blood. It be usless without thise types of emotions
It's incredible how you can see the stoke you have and how happy you are playing guitar. It's like you just learned something new but we all know you've been incredible for years. Keeping the stoke alive!!!!!
Just, many thanks for sharing the very best. I start a job Monday, and at 67, everything counts, everyone counts. You, Rick Beato, Rhett Shul, the masterclass is yet to be. But there will be more than one. Not a theory guy myself, but gosh, playing my heart out for well 55 years. Not the same style, but I love what you play. Yeah!!!
Kia ora Tim from Aotearoa (New Zealand), you are one of my two favourite people on UA-cam. I really enjoy watching your instructional video's because you cut straight to the chase and talk in a language that we all understand. Unfortunately, when I was growing up, there wasn't much call for professional musicians where I lived, so I have had to worked all my life and didn't have time to learn music theory. So when other great musicians do instructional work I tend to get lost when they are talking theory, (my fault I suppose)but you talk simple music language and you are having a great time while doing it. You are awesome, just like Pete Thorn, who is my other favourite person. Keep doing what you do for the sake of guitarist like myself, kia ora.
What's really inspiring is how you just stand on top of that foundation of a beautiful PRS and that lead tone, and play with such an abundance of joy, exuberance and fluidity. I just stop looking at the guitar and I'm smiling at you smiling, and that glorious lead guitar in my ears! thanks so much
Tim, The best bit about all your playing has to be the smiles you give during solos. You obviously love what you do and it shows. You make me want to pick up my guitar. Thanks for the awesome lesson
Hey Tim...no disrespect to my cousin Steve Cropper but you seriously are in the #1 slot of my favorite guitarists. Ive been playing and teaching for 40 years and have worked with some greats but you have all the bases covered when it comes to the all around GREAT guitarist. Congratulations on a career and life well done. James Cropper
Tim another excellent video. I love watching you play. Not only are you a virtuoso, but you look like you're having a great time. These are some great ideas for getting out of the pentatonic boxes.
@Tim Pierce Guitar - You are a musical treasure! The knowledge of guitar theory and tones packed in with your years as a studio musician is second to none! I've been playing for almost 20 years and have considered myself an intermediate player for a long time, but watching your videos for the past 3-4 years has really upped my ability to apply tons of concepts in practical situations. This video is definitely high up on there on my favorites. Thank you for everything you do! - from a grateful guitarist in Connecticut.
Listening to your impeccable playing, seeing the joy on your face as you do it, and hearing the infectious enthusiasm in your voice as you describe the theory and fingering of your phrases lifts me up up up! What a gift these videos are! Thanks-and please don’t stop.
Tim, first 2 mins into the video and my mind has been blown with knowledge I never knew my entire life of playing guitar. I will be taking the master class for sure!!! By the way, your enthusiasm is awesome!!!!
Tim, I absolutely love your mastery of the guitar. The solos you put up at the beginning of your videos are incredible. Thanks for sticking with it and showing us all how it is done. Like anything else in life, to be as good as you are takes discipline and hard work.
The "get off the train" motion. lmfao. 1:53. "These are the people in your neighborhood" You do have the most appealing approaches to this whole YT Guitar thing. Some folks talk too much
I’m starting to relearn the guitar. I am taking lessons. This video is so helpful. Not only did I not really recognize leading with the index or ring finger. It’s just something I didn’t recognize how obvious and simply it makes the set up for the next note or phrase you go to. Physically this just make since. You are very enjoyable to listen to. Thanks for your lesson🎸👌
Every video I watch of you it always seems like you're having a blast. You make it look so easy and effortless, inspiring to watch and make wish I was a better player so I could actually understand and learn from you, one of these days soon I hope, practice, practice, practice.
After playing guitar for 40 years without the internet, I finally learned what it was that I figured out on my own, i.e. the minor pentatonic scale. One of the things that I figured out was how to move up and down the neck. I had no idea what I was doing, mind you, but I knew it sounded cool. When I finally discovered the minor pentatonic scale, and finding out there were different "boxes" to learn, my first thought was how do I connect the boxes, i.e. move up and down the neck. Tim's concept is great but it does require you to know scale patterns for wherever it is you decide to stop. At the same time however, you don't need to know them all. You could play all 5 boxes of the minor pentatonic using Tim's concept. You just need to know which box you're stopping in and then just continue from there. Granted, knowing the modes and arpeggios make for the most melodic solos, but you can still sound melodic if all you knew were the 5 boxes of the minor pentatonic scale and you employed this concept of connecting the boxes together. That's how valuable this way of thinking is when approaching lead guitar.
This is soooo huge: we need to be able to shift positions in the most musical (melodic) way, without losing energy and sustain. Thank you, Maestro Tim :)
Wow - for some reason that’s the best video in a while (and I wouldn’t miss any of them)! Such enthusiasm, concise instruction and explanation along with sublime Walsh-ian liquid melodic playing. Superb.
TPG,Thank you for all your great tips. I grew up with a friend who played bouzouki in a Greek band. He opened me up to playing melody on one string.Thanks, Manny, wherever you are. Another thing about guitar. There two groups of players that I've noticed over the years. First group,the left hand moved alot and not much music came out. The second group,The left hand didn't move much and all kinds of music came out. I would call that "Economics Of Motion." I strive to be in the second group. I play in three different local blues bands. Playing blues,I've come up with a "Theory Of Melodic Freedom In A 12 Bar Blues Context". O.K., I didn't invent anything. I stole it from my heros and my heros heros. They all combine major and minor pentatonic, add the flat 5 note and the myxolydian mode.If you add that all up,you got 9 out of 12 notes. the only three notes not in there are major 7, flat 2 [one above the root, one below the root,easy enough to remember] and flat 6.you can use those for passing tones. I've been using the major 7 into the one. It works for me. Everybody has the same 12 notes. Anything goes or as Miles Davis said "There are no wrong notes." I think someone else said "No wrong notes, just poor resolutions.One more quote"Down Home Blues, Every Other Record Or Two" Z.Z. Hill
This is massive! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and time. When you nailed those faster licks, I saw pure joy, and I think that's bloody cool! So thanks for sharing. Keep on rocking!
Honestly Tim I’ve had a ton of Gibson and Fender electrics and just got a PRS 22 ten top with tremolo and it is by far the best electric I’ve ever played. Form ergonomics to access to tone and volume. It’s balanced and the neck is perfect for me. I’ll never go back. Thanks for the lessons again! You’re a great and enthusiastic teacher. Cheers👍
Dang Tim! You are an awesome hummin’ bean! You are so blessed and make me feel blessed to be able to see and hear you!! I recently put together a sentence that helps me remember the names of the modes in order! “I, Do, Prefer, Lydia, Mix, Ales, Locally” Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aolian, Locrian It helps me remember the names but I can’t play the damned modes! LOL!
Tim, your a great player and instructor. But what I love most is your enthusiasm. 'Hey guys! Look! Isn't this cool?' Always with a smile. Thanks, man!
I feel the same way. So much energy and enthusiasm with his "never-ending ideas" of riffs and melodies.
"and what I love..."
True that. He's a virtuoso but he smiles like he can't believe he just pulled off the incredible run.
Your enthusiasm alone spreads joy at a difficult time.
It's very infectious and makes you want to keep on watching. Inspiring Tim.
I was thinking the same thing
We really don't deserve Tim Pierce...
We are very fortunate to have him!!!
I’m sorry you are having a difficult time, I hope everything works out for you
Agreed. It actually made my entire day better.
Best teacher and best smile on the internet.
True creator he is :)
The sheer joy you express while playing adds a ton to these lessons!
the best thing that ever happened to me was when youtube recommended Tim. every video gets me in a different way, and your enthusiasm while playing makes me want to be better. there's always something new to learn from Tim and i'm so glad you share your knowledge with your audience. thank you!

Aye aye.
Absolutely!

His playing is far beyond anything I'll achieve, but I can watch him just for the sheer enjoyment of seeing someone do something they love. Thanks Tim. You're the best.
love that mixolydian sound. Thanks Tim! great playing
Is it me, or is Tim just one of those guys you would love to have as a buddy
Tru-dat!
The old saying, "never met a stranger " applies, I think.
How can you not enjoy watching this guy?
you are right. very special unselfish gracious person
The guitar riffs that come out of this guy's head are absolutely mind blowing !!! My guitar hero since the 1980s !!! And he keeps getting better every year !!!!!
It’s amazing how many of his solos and parts I loved over the years, never knowing one guy was behind them all.
Man his phrasing is on point
I just did a gig for the first time in months and we played Crossroads, it was the first solo I learned from Tim. Several people asked me how I nailed the guitar, I lied and told them it was glorious results of a misspent youth, but the TRUTH? Tim Pierce is the man.

Look up Jack Jennings for some great playing.
Trick? Strategy? It just makes mechanical sense to do it that way.
@@deesee2008
I think they R. Derringer used india scaling in his 1st live album in R&R Hoochie Koo. He's another great guitarist.
I've been playing for 37 years and every time I watch Tim's videos, I learn something new. These are great!
You're so talented and gentle on how to teach a concept. It invites me immediately to grab my guitar and try the walking around and exploring the neighborhood... Great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge
You can do it!
I enjoy how Tim always looks like he's in pure joy playing.
Another great lesson Tim. Thank you
What beautiful & tasteful phrasing. Your insight into guitar is pure gold.

Thanks Tim for showing a simpler way of approaching the fretboard

Will give it a try!
Tim playing over his own notes on the track perfectly in unison and time makes me want to slap myself silly.
And Tim's facial expressions when playing a demo always have such happiness and humour, it's just as entertaining.
You ROCK, Tim!
I always knew I needed a PRS McCarty Private Stock to finally RULE the ENTIRE Fretboard.
LOL... Right?! Absolutely, that's the missing link!!!
Yes I agree with you so go out and buy one
Something I love about watching you, is - like EVH - you smile all the time, like you're just having fun. I wish I could get there...
Awesome and impossible to wipe this smile off my face! Love the McCarty tons and love Tim tons more. Play on y'all!
That was avery awsome lesson and very inspiring. This dude is one true hero. Been viewing him alot . And awsome rhat hes stays excited about this stuff. It truly runs in his blood. It be usless without thise types of emotions

This man is the Bob Ross of guitar. Thanks Tim Pierce!
Amen to that.
Bob Ross is a legend!
"Let's put a nice little triad in the middle of my solo. There's no pressure. No worries." ... ..
Wow. First time I’ve listened to your master “play”. Your joy in playing is infectious!
Wow that guitar has so much clarity...those pickups sound 👌
Tim, you are a joy to watch man. Learn so much from your channel. All the best from Melbs, Oz.
Love the melodious approach !!!
Full of emotion.
So glad I found you tim. Like everyone else here I’m blown away by your enthusiasm and your jolly demeanour

I love seeing your unabashed joy at digging into a good riff!
what i enjoy most on Tim's play is ... his facial expression. it's a combination of joy, accomplishment, excitement, confidence, surprise...
Tim, The best bit about all your playing has to be the smiles you give during solos. You obviously love what you do and it shows. You make me want to pick up my guitar. Thanks for the awesome lesson

Tim, first 2 mins into the video and my mind has been blown with knowledge I never knew my entire life of playing guitar. I will be taking the master class for sure!!! By the way, your enthusiasm is awesome!!!!
I'd be smiling too if I could play like that. Thanks, Tim, for a great spirit boost.
Single string playing leading into "across the neck" playing/riffing. Brilliant! And something new to explore. As always. DOH!
Tim, I absolutely love your mastery of the guitar. The solos you put up at the beginning of your videos are incredible. Thanks for sticking with it and showing us all how it is done. Like anything else in life, to be as good as you are takes discipline and hard work.
Wow!! Where has this been all my life? Thanks Tim
Inspirational Tim, your smile and inthusiasm is such a boost.
The runs across the neck caught my ear more at @5:53 and more than the subject of the nicely done lesson
I just WISH I could put a phrase together like that. Just ONCE, even!!! You are THE MAN!
The "get off the train" motion. lmfao. 1:53. "These are the people in your neighborhood"
You do have the most appealing approaches to this whole YT Guitar thing. Some folks talk too much
You have a beautiful smile. It's great to see someone enjoying what they do. Cheers!
Tim - You sir are definitely the King of the Well-Traveled Fret board :) Thanks for your excellent video.
I’m starting to relearn the guitar.
I am taking lessons.
This video is so helpful.
Not only did I not really recognize leading with the index or ring finger.
It’s just something I didn’t recognize how obvious and simply it makes the set up for the next note or phrase you go to.
Physically this just make since.
You are very enjoyable to listen to.
Thanks for your lesson🎸👌

I've discovered your channel too late! You're the best teacher every guitar player should have!
I loved the sound of that little sister, red guitar. That was some nice sounding stuff you did on that little baby. Thanks.
Man, so much melody. I really loved that, thanks for the video!
Thank you!!! You are truly a wonderful teacher! I am grateful for you!!!
Brilliant! I'm smiling just watching you, and in awe. Tim, you are a gem!
I get so pumped when you smile at the end of your solos!
You are a fabulous teacher Tim. Thank you.
This is soooo huge: we need to be able to shift positions
in the most musical (melodic) way, without losing energy
and sustain. Thank you, Maestro Tim :)
I love that you enjoy playing so much. It’s totally visible in your face and inspiring 👌👌
Wow - for some reason that’s the best video in a while (and I wouldn’t miss any of them)! Such enthusiasm, concise instruction and explanation along with sublime Walsh-ian liquid melodic playing. Superb.
Tim I truly loved this video!
Love everything about the video Tim. The stunning guitar, the superb tone and chops and the excellent lesson.
This is exactly what I needed! Been in a bit of a rut for awhile. Thanks!
TPG,Thank you for all your great tips. I grew up with a friend who played bouzouki in a Greek band. He opened me up to playing melody on one string.Thanks, Manny, wherever you are. Another thing about guitar. There two groups of players that I've noticed over the years. First group,the left hand moved alot and not much music came out. The second group,The left hand didn't move much and all kinds of music came out. I would call that "Economics Of Motion." I strive to be in the second group. I play in three different local blues bands. Playing blues,I've come up with a "Theory Of Melodic Freedom In A 12 Bar Blues Context". O.K., I didn't invent anything. I stole it from my heros and my heros heros. They all combine major and minor pentatonic, add the flat 5 note and the myxolydian mode.If you add that all up,you got 9 out of 12 notes. the only three notes not in there are major 7, flat 2 [one above the root, one below the root,easy enough to remember] and flat 6.you can use those for passing tones. I've been using the major 7 into the one. It works for me. Everybody has the same 12 notes. Anything goes or as Miles Davis said "There are no wrong notes." I think someone else said "No wrong notes, just poor resolutions.One more quote"Down Home Blues, Every Other Record Or Two" Z.Z. Hill
Great video sir! Thanks for keeping it under the 12 minute mark! I speak for myself only on time constraints! Thanks again!
You're amazing player and your passion transcends to all of us listening to you
Great video Tim. Your work with John Wait influenced my playing since the 80's so when I hear your licks I still hear that spark.
Not only are you a great guitarist, but you are an incredible human being and your enthusiast is infectious.
Tim, your demeanor and energy, as well as your playing, make me want to take guitar lessons, and I'm about to start! Thank you
This is massive! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and time. When you nailed those faster licks, I saw pure joy, and I think that's bloody cool! So thanks for sharing. Keep on rocking!
Wow! Another great lesson. Simplfy! Simplify! Simplify!
Because you look so damn happy playing that guitar, I always start smiling when I watch your videos.
It's cool content too, we'll done Tim!
Just love your face when you're playing. The sheer joy is infectious. Makes me want to pick up my guitar.
Honestly Tim I’ve had a ton of Gibson and Fender electrics and just got a PRS 22 ten top with tremolo and it is by far the best electric I’ve ever played. Form ergonomics to access to tone and volume. It’s balanced and the neck is perfect for me. I’ll never go back. Thanks for the lessons again! You’re a great and enthusiastic teacher. Cheers👍
He looks so happy playing and explaining. That's awesome.
Fantastic and we must acknowledge that this is a very Dickey Betts style of getting around the guitar. Thanks for illuminating the concept so well!
Dang Tim! You are an awesome hummin’ bean! You are so blessed and make me feel blessed to be able to see and hear you!!
I recently put together a sentence that helps me remember the names of the modes in order!
“I, Do, Prefer, Lydia, Mix, Ales, Locally”
Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aolian, Locrian
It helps me remember the names but I can’t play the damned modes! LOL!
Tim. you are really great instructor for guitar and a lot of idea.
That B&G sounded phenomenal. It had an acoustic quality behind the blues electric tone that blended in perfectly.
I love watching you play and learning new things from you. I really love the rhythm and melodies you come up with. Sounds great! Always a pleasure!
I really like how you also incorporate double stops to make the leads so much fuller.
it's great how much joy you get from playing
Never viewed this channel. The music alone was worth the visit-- delightful.
Its a pleasure to see him playing
Great video and always wonderful insight into what you're playing. Also.. your tone is incredible.
This was very helpful Tim. Your playing is exquisite!
