I totally need #4!
The sheer amount of joy in your face when you play is enough of a lesson, Tim.
Absolutely! Tim is the Ambassador of Guitar Happiness!
I couldn’t get the smile off my own face. His joy is addicting and inspirational!
So true!
Well said !
Beat me to it, as I was going to say the same thing. I can have a shit day at work, come home, pull up Tim video and instantly feel happier through osmosis. Plus the great music.Thank you Tim, (and playing on 2l of my all time favorite songs .....'Don't Dream it's Over' and 'Iris'.)
Thanks Tim for helping all of us players through this tough year of no gigs , no band rehearsals, and waay too much time in front of the computer. Your joy in playing, immense knowledge and skill, and killer tips and tricks, helps to keep me inspired.
I've another suggestion if you're feeling uninspired - just watch one of Tim's videos! Works for me every time...
He certainly has the joy of playing.
As a geezer (Tv/film Composer/rock rat/Educator) THIS is one of the best inspirational/non-snob videos I’ve ever seen. As The Great Duke Ellington spake: “If YOU like it, it’s GOOD!” Thanks Tim, you’re a good soul!
I just found Tim's channel not long ago, and I'm convinced that what makes him great (on top of his great chops) is his relentlessly good vibes. If I were a producer, and all he played was jug, I'd have him there just to radiate positivity.
You're so right about that!
No substitute for good vibes!
I just subscribed after watching a Ricky beato video with Tim. Cool :)
Thanks Tim, Always on point. The part about losing the vibe by simply getting down on the floor to plug in a pedal hit home with me. That really happens. Trying to keep my head in the game is sometimes the most difficult part. Its strange how we can go from really really "on" to flat out "off" simply by adding a tedious un-enjoyable task to our routine. So what did i take from this video? Having the simplest route to the most trusted tone available in an instant is paramount. Use an instrument that doesn't fight back thus allowing for the uninterrupted free flow of creativity. This is also great life advice. Mentioning Andy from Shutupandplayguitar was also helpful as his delivery , tone, ability to communicate (much like your own) is refreshingly free of the agitators found in many other youtube lesson videos. My motivation is restored for the moment lol.
Sometimes you really need to hear it from you someone who is extremely experienced like Tim to get motivated again. We need motivation especially in these trying times. Thank you so much!
I feel like I’ve been stuck in a rut for like 5 yrs now...heeelp!!!!
After years of dealing with the local scene, and the general negativity I've encountered, this is a breath of fresh air...to find out that there are still people out there who can remind me of why I do this in the first place. It seems the town I live in is particularly bad that way with people who discourage you and want to destroy your dreams and ambitions, but now that I'm older I suspect that that sort of thing is everywhere and it's best to seek inspiration on the internet from people who are all over the place and not concentrate on trying to get in with the locals, who are not really people I'd care to associate with anyway, just because of their exclusive club who-the-fuck-are-you attitude. Tim and Rick Beato and that whole gang of internet UA-cam music pro guys are far more my "friends" than any of the local folks that I've known for decades...because they encourage, not beat you down.
As my kids have gotten older, one has moved out. For years I had my corner in the basement. I now have my own music room. All my guitars are on wall hangers. All accessible, at any moment.one is actually always tuned down a half. I have 2 pedal boards with (almost) all my pedals hooked up, neatly and again, accessible. Two amps (A/B-Y switch) I tell everyone that is learning. The best advice (IMO) is always have your guitar out, and easy to pick up & play. I’m also going back and learning and relearning songs I love. I connected with so much of this. Thanks Tim
These are very useful tips Tim. “Stay in your zone”... “the things you love the most”... all of them! Thank you for the well needed reset!
Thanks again, Tim... Sharing your joy in playing with us is... priceless. I watch this video all the time and it always pumps me up!
Yeah, the “Andy, at “Shut Up and Play” is quite a resource. That guy is amazing as well. Tim you are so helpful by sharing useful tips! Thanks!
His guitar (The Burgundy LP) sounds amazing, even on stratty stuff.
Hellz Yes!!. I 2nd this 100% I've been watching "Shutup n Play" song tutorials for years and still haven't seen his face lol i think it took 2 years before i even knew his name haha.
He is brilliant and nails the specific version in such great detail whether live or studio album.. every nuance is there to learn.. one of my favorites... if you dont know Andy and his Shut up & play videos,.............Do yr self a favor and go find some now..
I love the “starting the car” approach. The last thing you want when you’re singular minded about a riff or lyric is to allow for the fuzz of setting up to ruin your flow. Wonderful advice, fantastic suggestions. You are appreciated! ❤️
Watching Tim play makes me want to play.
Most of this advice you could just carry straight into life itself.
A giant dose of positivity here in this video! I love how you stress to play the music YOU like, that makes you happy to play. I am in the minority in my group of friends with the music I like. I don't get to play much of my favorite music when our garage band is together, so I love to play MY stuff when I'm practicing alone. It's great to hear a pro suggest that very thing. Thank you for this video.
Thank you for telling us to champion the music we love. I find that ACDC is my band that inspires me, makes me happy and keeps me so motivated. They never fail to fuel my passion. I am jumping for joy with their new album. I just bought a brand new McCarty 594 PRS. It will take 14 months to receive because of COVID. I can hardly wait to get my hands on it. ⚡️🇨🇦
Ya just before Christmas last year.
"But Angus doesn't play Fermented Flat Rutebega scales at a zillion miles an hour, so he don't count!" JK about the daft half of the guitar community! Back in Black is one of the reasons this guy plays guitar! imnho... I think the truly wise listen to Yngwie, Angus & Paisley. HF
Tim "Happy Face" Pierce 😃
Thanks for the wonderful tips! I always learn just by transcribing pieces of your tasteful noodling!!
Glad you like them!
Tim. Honestly. You are a gift. The joy and artistry parallel in such an incredibly inspiring way. Thank you so much.
Tim, I've been watching your videos for a while now, but this one really hit home. Your comments about finding a tone you can live with forever, that is the most ON POINT tip I've heard in a long, long time. Appreciate your videos and taking time to share your insights like this. No telling how many musicians you positively impact! Thank you.
They say a person’s reach should always exceed their grasp. After trying in Amplitude all the amps, pedals, speakers, mike placement, yadada, I have finally found the right sound I’ve been hearing, Fender Twin Reverb with an OD pedal or an Orange Terror when in the mood. My 70’s sounds that I listen to sound pretty good when I play them. I love playing along with the tunes on my phone.
Battling vintage guitars for good tones and getting put in a bad mood by crawling around on the ground plugging petals in I’m so relieved to know there’s other people out there who understand!!
I grew up learning and loving the eighties so called hair bands. Well throw in some AC-DC. Eventhough I listened to Skynyrd, I never really learned their music correctly. For the last month I've been doing just that. Wow, am I having a blast. Never realized how good these bunch of guys were together. Great riffs in my mind done to perfection.
That point about learning songs "correctly" is interesting. I have a tendency to bodge through; I can play a song so it sounds about right, but if you take the trouble to go through and learn all the parts thoroughly and properly it really opens up a new world of musical understanding.
Tim , your enthusiasm is overwhelming. I'm learning things I'd never imagine I could even process , and I'm really grateful it's from an Artist like you. A million thanks!
one good way to remember your sound is take a picture on your phone, making sure your knob is in the right place from when you last fiddled with it. erm....
This is the very of opening up to good explore. I needed to hear this. Give it up people!!! This man is Smart, Honest, & I'm dig the vibe. I'm so into the way he shares.
I really loved this video Tim. Thank you for sharing these tips. I want that joy you have and will make some changes to get it happening. When I was young I used to play along with records all the time, and it made me so happy. I need to get back to doing that, so thanks for the reminder to do that. I got lost in all the other things everyone says I should be doing and left that behind.
Great tips! Thank you Tim!

Man expresses true joy on that guitar.
Thank you Tim!
Great words of wisdom from a genuine pro!
Can’t believe Tim kept a straight face for tip 2. The TPS boys would be giggling at the very least.
Hey Tim. I really appreciate your videos. I am signed up for the school this week.
Looking forward to it !
,
Love how excited and happy you are playing. I don’t practice as much because it IS a pain setting everything up. Great advice with the cockpit analogy with a couple power strips.
Your passion for the instrument is infectious. Thank you!
Thank you soooo much Tim! You really pushed my inspiration button! I’m re-arranging my studio patches immediately!!!!!!!
What a great video:)! Super sensable and a fine player. So nice to see someone truly living their craft....
