      ​@@bernieross1241because her success and outstanding singing and songwriting speak for itself, so if on HER production (she's paying you), she wants something else, you don't question it, and in that moment you realize none of your guitar centered thinking is of any use here, which is quite hilarious 😂. All that is big and important to you, in your personal musical journey in one second becomes really small and you can laugh about it, because sure you know your ego as a guitar player just got a bump 🤣 and of course your intuition says "but Adele, listen this is my..." - No! That's not your role in here, she's paying you to play what she thinks fits her music. You start a discussion and you're done lol. The clash of cultures (guitar thinking dude vs non-guitar mega global superstar) is funny as hell. And buddy, you gotta learn to sometimes laugh about yourself too. Laugh about your own ego. If you take yourself too serious all the time, you won't get far in life, neither in job or marriage. Ask Rick I think he's been married for a long time ;) in this case in this moment what's the point of getting frustrated? She acknowledged you as the guitar player she wants on her record, you're getting payed for your time in her studio. This is literally the best place to take a blow to your ego and laugh about it just as hard as you can. No better place in the world to exercise that 😁

    The single most illuminating video on how music has been made over the last 50 years. The brilliance of a session player has so little to do with just musical skill; many musicians have the threshold talent to do it, but few have the wisdom-and I think that is the best word to explain what Tim is sharing here-to make it. What I most enjoyed about this video is that Tim sharing his path to success as a studio musician applies almost universally to any other job dependent on teamwork and process. I’ll watch this many times to come. Rick walks Tim through this perfectly, letting him take the entire video to answer one question and simply underscoring key points with his own insightful questions and comments. So very, very well done. “Adele hates wah.” That sums it up precisely. There is now a, “handbook.” Thank you, Gentlemen.

I saw one with Jeff Beck, and for all his greatness as a guitarist, he basically did nothing in his MC but play a few licks. All you aspirers out there: save your money and go out on your own paths - listen to whatever strikes your fancy and apply it towards creating a style that's both enjoyable and unique to you.

      ​@@oldgoat381 I guess that's a subjective matter what appeals to a person musically.
      Regarding this episode, Tim Pierce said he likes pop/rock songs that increase the intensity and build up like "a wedge".
      The first thing I though about at that moment was "With or without you" by U2 as a prime example. The whole band is part of this buildup, but if we're talking about guitarparts you should analyse the guitar and the sparse notes played with e-bow in the beginning, the chimey riffs that starts off the main buildup in "...and you give yourself away.." and how it builds up to a climax. Masterful sense of arrangement, dynamics and emotion.
      So for me it's the opposite of boring (although some of their later work I unfortunately find kind of boring tbh, but live they still are beasts).

    Rick and Tim please make this a series. I watch and sub to both channels and love you both separately however, when the two of you get together in this context Rick seems to always be able to coax these amazing memories out Tim that he might not of shared on his own channel. Out of these conversations come some truly magical and brilliant gold nuggets for us to mine, if we listen as a student rather then as entertainment.
    Case is point it awesome to hear that Tim thinks about spread triads as the backbone and the wet lightly strummed chords as the color, most of us would think about it the other way around, he didn’t directly say that but you could feel it when he was talking and demonstrating. Then he makes reference to opposites and how he always incorporates this method to get the big and full sounds. It true opposites do attract!
    And the nugget about playing a loud amp soft! Pure gold Tim! That is an industry secret that many of us has known but wouldn’t tell, like revealing a magic trick to your audience. That is passing the baton and sharing decades of knowledge.
    This is an honest look into the mindset of a gifted producer and a world class studio musician and how they communicate. Well done guys!

    What a privilege to be able to sit quietly in the corner and listen in to a conversation , the likes of which I could otherwise never hope to encounter. This perfectly captures what so many other formats try vain to deliver. Thank you both, and... MORE! :- )

    Thanks Rick, this was an incredibly great video with so much content. Thanks for asking the right questions and letting Tim talk so freely. I learned a bunch from this and I've been playing 35 years.

    To hear Tim show some love for Atlanta Rhythm Section was awesome.
    Barry Bailey and J.R. Cobb were the guitarists of note back then.
    Also had the opportunity to jam with them, while i lived in Atlanta in the 1980's.
    Hands down, one of the better bands/ensembles. Such a sense for space and style. Some of us who have made a living making music will always show ARS the love and respect they deserve.

    As an aspiring singer-songwriter, there are so many useful lessons and insights in this video regarding arrangements and serving the song by painting with contrasting yet complementary colors. I like to think of it kind of like a yin and yang approach, or finding some kind of synthesis as a result of your thesis and antithesis. Thank you Rick and Tim for your time and for sharing this valuable wisdom.

    This was a fascinating interview. Rick you really did a good job of letting Tim tell his story, but stopping and getting clarification on what he was saying when he went on past an interesting point. I appreciate how you were loathe to interrupt but you found a good balance. Great Vid!
