As a 27 year old guitarist I really have to say that I don't know how much you realize that the guys like you online really are making a difference. We really do need people like you who are embracing the new medium of digital video content while bringing all of the important wisdom of the medium to this new genre. Thank you, honestly, its really nice to see these videos.
Very well said.
I’ve been playing for about 30 years and I wish I had a Rick and Tim at the click of a button when I was younger.
@@Thesongstaysthesame One of the things that I've learned is that if you are unable to surround yourself in person with people who know more than you, then actively seeking them out is the next best option, and having this here is an invaluable resource. One of the best ways that I have found to learn to get better at anything is to really listen to what those who know what they are talking about and have experience have to say. The amount of small bits of insight that can be used later on is far more valuable than people think.
Seconded
@@WeyounSix Your comment reminded me of something Alabama football coach Paul “Bear” Bryant said. He claimed all his assistant coaches were smarter than he, because, “If they’re not smarter than I am, I don’t need them.”
30 years ago I use to pay $50 for an hour with a pro . I don't regret any of that but really there bis so much at our finger tips on UA-cam . 55 years and still improving .
Tim is one of the best people I've gotten to know in the music industry. A legendary player, but an even better person!
If I only knew half of what you and Tim know on guitar I would be out of the basement lol.
That is truly the secret though, isn't it Rhett?
hi rhett
Well, what Tim is to you, you are to me and many others. Your studio work, your live onstage work and the topics you cover in your videos have made me a better musician, and they're entertaining. Watching you, Rick and Dave go back and forth is what I look forward to.
Rhett is totally awesome in his own right and deservedly belongs among the great people (Rick, et al) that he associates with.🙌🏻🙌🏻🍎
I was in a band in high school. Rick went to the same high school, same class. I knew who he was, but we ran in different circles. Here I am 40+ years later and I can't express how much I appreciate what he's doing for music or how impressed I am with his knowledge and content.
I’m also a Tim and went to IC with Rick. And I laugh every time I watch him laughing. Still the same. Still remember when he heard Methany for the first time at the Strand.
Rochester has so much great musical talent!
@@1112Grll personality goes a long way🎯
I went to Fairport and Ithaca too, then found out Rick the Sicilian came from the greater Rochester area (gee ya think?) and attended the same schools, maybe 4 years behind me. Mentioned it to some Fairport friends recently, and they already knew all about Rick. I had a few bands in Rochester. I also was at Shorts Bar in Fairport one night, and who was sitting there all alone at the bar but Lou Gramm? Had a nice conversation with him. One more of many rock stars I seem to run across every so often. Foreigner played a local party in Rancho Santa Margarita here in Southern California, that I got invited to, so I wore a "House of Guitars" T-shirt and after the concert we ended up hangin' with the band after they saw my T-shirt and said "Hey are you from Rochester?" When I see these videos from Rick and Tim I feel privileged to be let inside, behind the curtain, to see how the sausage is made! Very inspiring. :)
@@dougselsam5393 I'm former patron of Shorts Bar myself!, and also lived in So Cal for many years, most recently in Trabuco Canyon. Wish we'd crossed paths. Every time I hear Rev on The Red Line it's like an inside joke when he references Lake Avenue. Man, do I miss the House of Guitars.
Tim and Rick are not only musicians they are educators whom have raised everyone’s music IQ whereby we have become better musicians, listeners and people when it comes to music! TY Gents!
I mean, jean jacket plus jeans is the stuff of legends.....
Absolutely, I totally concur man
Absolutely, I totally agree
then everyone clapped
Am a crazy old dude watching these 2 old crazy dudes talk about the most delightful stuff for close to an hour. This is insanely great. Love it!
Tim is so humble. Ferocious player, and just a nice guy. I love watching Rick too. He gets so excited about what he's talking about. Both cool guys.
43 minutes of pure compressed wisdom.
I love how they can't wait to respond to each other's stories. Never a dull moment with these guys. They spout amazing advice and anecdotes faster than I can listen.
Well said.
True, true, except Tim uses the word "amazing" about a thousand times like a synonym-starved teenager.
Living in Nashville and recording for 20 years, talking about musicians and working with the same guys as these guys are naming, I can’t help but smile and laugh with them about this stuff. Just subscribed to Beato’s channel. Good stuff.
Beato's channel is a treasure for all musicians, amateur and pro.
Such a treat - Tim is like yoda, so much information and such an inspiring player. And such a joyful person…
Tim has my favorite chanel. I grew up seeing his name on records I loved, and instantly recognized the name when it came out on UA-cam. But I'd like to point out one thing: Rick constantly points out that songs today have 5 writers. Here you can hear Tim explaining session musicians ACTUALLY came up with their parts, but they weren't credited as a writer. Today that changed, and it should be championed. If you write one part, you're a writer on the song AND you get publishing rights on it.
I love Tim, and his enthusiasm for everything guitar related after all of these years is inspiring. We are truly living in an amazing time when so many pros are sharing all of their secrets.
Rick, these conversations with Tim go way beyond music. Asking why you still want this gear even though you’re not going to use it for a session is something we can all relate to: a nagging “want” that we suspect is a distraction from more important things but that we just can’t shake.
I also think that you’ve established so much cred you could produce whatever and however you want now. I don’t know the specifics of the system you were beholden to as a producer, but I’d think new artists would be beating down your door for the chance to work with you.
Finally, with regard to making videos on jazz, rock, classical, etc. your enthusiasm for all things music is why I watch. Don’t overthink it. Whatever your excited about is the only relevant criteria. 👍
He is a custodian, hopefully keeping rare old equipment alive will make people aware and stop them throwing vintage kit into the dumpster.
I have literally never commented on a UA-cam video until today (though I have subscribed). Great interview, as always. What I really want to say is that Rick, you have inspired me through your videos beyond measure to become a better musician every day. I only wish I had access to this content as a young kid just learning guitar. I can’t imagine-and you may not even realize-the impact you must be having on the next generation. Keep up the good work, and I hope to see and meet you at NAMM!
I know young guys comming through the studio who when I meantion Ricks name they all say oh man i love that guy,,i learn so much from him.
a lot of us wish we had this so let's see who takes advantage of this?
UA-cam is amazing for this very reason. It used to be that professional musicians like Tim would never have the sort of visibility to a larger audience and his knowledge+experience would have been buried (just think about Carol Kaye). Now we have so much of this content at our fingertips.
UA-cam is the best reason for being online. A day spent watching videos that instruct and entertain like this one is not a waste of time but actually a good use of it!
Carol Kaye did teach at Berkeley for some time, so not all was lost.
Tim Pierce....the most talented, skilled, incredible player that is also incredibly humble. Would love to hang out and watch him work...so much you could learn.
You guys could put up 6 hours of conversation like this and many of us would listen to every word. So much fun to hear you guys talk about, well, anything.
I've know Tim for over 140 years and he's the best person i've ever talked to in the studio, absolutely sweet soul.
Wow I didn’t know Tim was that old
dude was cutting records in the 1880s
Here for the vampire unmasking.
He played Lincoln's Funeral... I was there with a relative of mine. 😬
God? is that you?
I love it when my favorite UA-cam creators get together and just let the content go wherever it leads. Love the tips and the tricks I just picked up. Thank you Rick and Tim.
I am so honored to know you two, and I never cease to be amazed at your knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm. Thank you for all you both do!
I always enjoy Rick's interviews, his enthusiasm is infectious, and he's obviously an extremely knowledgeable and accomplished guitarist as well.
Tim is the man.
Ditto
You have a great channel Ross. 👍
@@buddyalbert5808 Most certainly so, Great Player/Teacher
Sure Tim and Rick are amazing but Im a follower of you too Ross…. Your playing is getting right up there too. Keep it going guys!
I like how he always looks really pleased with his riffs. Why not let your enthusiasm show...
Thank you for this interview which shows that skilled labor in any field of work is at first glance appears to look easy, but behind the talent is using as little commotion as needed. Like a professional dancer there is no wasted motion or movement.
A good musician follows the same rules as keeping a good knife sharp which is to hone and sharpen it often.
I learned to play guitar by playing in cover bands. I realized early on that rhythm guitar was 90% of the job I had in a band situation. That carried into the recording projects I also did.
A world of knowledge in this video. Tim talking about things most can only imagine and Rick being a top interviewer once again.
One of my favorite things I love about Tim is his combination of skill and humility.
Much as I like both, these collabs are phenomenal. I always feel I grow whenever I get to listen to these two masters exchange ideas.
Many gifted artists (not only musicians) are just not able to verbalize exactly what they are doing. Thankfully Tim is an exception :)
I was just talking to an old music buddy about some of the topics you're discussing. I've been playing guitar 49 years. The other day I was in my studio just staring at my guitars as if I was at and Art gallery. The same guitars that I've had for years and years yet I stare at them as if it was the first time I've seen them. I have the same amount of enthusiasm and love today about playing and guitars as I did when the lightning bolt first went through me as a young teen. That Penguin Tim is holding is giving me heart palpitations. Great Interview.
Does anyone else think that rick makes some of the most engaging and entertaining videos on UA-cam? Keep up the great work :)
Not just UA-cam, anywhere.
And not only entertaining, educational as well.
Yes. 100%
Holy hell that Marshall PA head sounds buttery
Yeah,about 3 milion of us
I love listening to Rick and how truly nice and spproachable the musicians he brings on his shows are......just wonderful.
Tim is a total class act - I love his enthusiasm and joy. Great video Rick - that was really fun.
Love this channel!
Rick always makes me feel like we are old friends, even though we've never met.
I know great actors create that vibe too depending on the actor/role,
but being a life long guitarist/musician around the same age as Rick, all the gear talk, interviews and stories, I can totally relate and it never gets old for me.
Tim explaining what being a session guitarist is like makes me really really want to be a session player. That's the kind of stuff I thrive on.
Makes me wanna be a guitar session player too. And I'm just an average drummer!
if only the market wasn't as saturated as it is today. these guys had it good! not perfect, but the bar wasn't as sky high as it is today
You guys need a time machine pedal if you want to do sessions..those days are over.
Oh, Tim is such a joy! Glad to see you two together.
Tim is one of the most likable guys around. they don't get much nicer. plus the insane talent and passion for his craft is so damn entertaining too!
Rick is an uncle I wish I’ve had, so passionate about music and all it’s parts. Enjoys it with others like him too!
I hope you two do more videos together. This one just whetted my appetite for all the amazing nuggets of experience and wisdom you have between you.
Love this!! The Rusty Anderson amp was a surprise to me. We had a mutual friend when he was making Undressing Underwater and I was in the process of setting up a home studio. He was a great resource for mic advice and gear choices. A very sweet man and so talented.
This is seriously next-level stuff. I would've started this video out by saying to just practice first. You don't know what playing ahead of the beat or behind the beat means until you can play on the beat. I didn't realize I could play in the pocket until an esteemed musician friend gave me that compliment. I'm happy to have made it to that milestone, but I still have no idea how to play ahead or behind the beat. It took me 20 years to just play ON THE BEAT. When I watch a lot of video tutorials on "how to play song X", I'm always impressed by the ear training and the fingering. But I can almost always hear the lack of solid timing. I often hear them playing ahead of the beat I think, because they are not relaxed and maybe over-anxious. Anyway, I don't even know what my damn point was. Just keep practicing. And maybe Rick can give us a video about how to play ahead of or behind the beat.
Right on dude. I'm a guitarist and and we have similar reaching milestones too. It feels great reaching them.
I’m an amateur guitarist of many years and STILL play ahead of the beat. I only realise afterwards when I listen back in horror.
Rick, what you do is invaluable to musicians but wildly fascinating to those who just find it cool to learn about these things. you hit on all the important nuances about what people need to see and hear. Explaining what makes an artist an artist, and how they are unique like Sting for an example. Very illuminating. I appreciate it very much.
It has been so much fun finding out HOW MANY SONGS Tim has played on that have been in my playlists forever. Hear a great 80s song, Tim did the guitars, 90s, 00s, etc.
That kind of performance is really remarkable. It didn't hit me as an aspiring music major until I got up against real competition and realized that my A game was what some of competition considered their C game. Tim on a bad day is still playing at 150% of almost anybody else. As you both have pointed out, there's no substitute for hitting the woodshed, but raw talent has to be there. Props to you both for these great conversations.
I love hearing Tim off the cuff! Dude is so motivational without even trying.
Tim loves his profession and it shows! Love watching him! And Rick always asks the right questions!!
I am pretty high in neuroticism and pretty obsessed at times too, and for me it creates a lot of inertia in my writing, playing and producing. After years of basicly not being able to finish a single production, I finally let go and recorded mixed and released my first songs as best I could. I am now progressing much faster becouse of it, but boy it's hard to accept my shortcomings sometimes.
I feel very similar to what you’ve said here. I have to push myself to accept a few imperfections and just release the materiel already.
@@dakotawinston7677good luck to you🙂
@@dakotawinston7677 I don't know who first said this....if you wait until you think you're ready...it's too late.
Glenn, you got anything we can listen to??
Would love to check it out.
Yeah publish or perish eats the cake.. :)
That was a really fun episode! Your interaction with Tim was stellar.
You two pull together your individual expertise and knowledge in a lovely enjoyable conversation of meaningful recollections and well interpreted personal wisdoms. Thank you!
When I was first learning guitar in grade school, nobody taught me to play with a light touch just behind the fret. I got so frustrated with the buzzing, etc, I quit playing. I am picking the guitar back up and working to change my bad habit of pressing too hard and teaching myself to play just behind the fret. Thank you for these great tips. Much appreciated.
It takes no pressure at all if you get it right and like you I was not told early on either. You can however be too close with classical guitars and change the intonation - my good classical guitar with go sharp, flat or just right depending upon where one frets.
Other level amazing conversation with two absolute legends ..Thank you both for being so awesome 💯
I love you guys!!! The most phenomenal playing and theoretical knowledge; you both give such inspiration, education, and it’s so wonderful to see you both absolutely loving what you do and having such a great time!!! ☺️👍🏻
Rick and Tim, two of the best players, teachers, and enthusiasts for all things music. Great interview.
'Falling in love with the instruments even more as we age!' So good to hear as I have come back from an indefinite hiatus. So glad to be back. Cheers.
always love when you have Tim Pierce on the channel!!
The humbleness is what I love the most!! I’ve been in the “business” for over 40yrs and 8 out of 10 times the folks that are true talent are kind and humble…there are however exceptions. Keep it coming fellas!! 🤘
i love Tims humility this is a big part of what have made him so great both social people do not feel made small in his company and at the same time it motivate him to always become better and better
Such a great feeling between you two....lots of smiles and laughs. Such fun to listen to.
Literally just saw you at NAMM and gave you a high five Rick! Hope I wasn’t interrupting your night! You’re awesome!!
Amazing interview, love the way Tim talks about playing with drummers and how they “feel” things differently
As much as I enjoy hearing both of these musicians play, their conversations about music are very enlightening and informative.
Absolutely incredible! I am amazed every time I watch Rick Beato. That's not an exaggeration.
Another great interview. I have followed Tim for a long time and think he has such a wealth of info. Again keep it up Rick, "you da man".
You two are such fun to listen to. I feel like I'm hanging out with the music friends I wish I had. ;)
Bobo alegre
I agree 100%
Same here...
3 MILLION!!??!! That's amazing. Best content out there for guitarists. Haha down. And Tim is incredible. I've been watching and learning from his videos for years. Absolutely inspiring
This is great stuff; such a wealth of information and encouragement you guys individually offer, and letting us in on a conversation like this is just an amazing gift for people like me who love hearing all this stuff from the point of view of two seasoned pros, and the fact that it's two super chill dudes makes it a real pleasure to soak up all the knowledge; kudos on a great show! 🤘
People, take note -- everything in this conversation is pure gold. The nuance in timing, particularly how far back into the pocket everyone played, that Tim is talking about is, to me, the best-kept secret to understanding three decades of pop recording brilliance. Muscle Shoals, Nashville, LA, Memphis, Detroit, they all had this quality and it isn't talked about enough. The pocket shift forward that Tim talks about is one of the tragic developments in music and one of the subtle, profound reasons music doesn't sound as good these days even though the recording technology and technique of the players are higher than they've ever been. We really lost the warmth, feel...the humanity of pop music when the shift to the grid happened.
This is so interesting. When I used to gig that’s exactly what I discovered. Used to love being just a little behind then rush a little to end it where it needed or not rush it, and it sounded so good most of the time. But this could be very tricky and it’s a form of secret art. I didn’t know it was actually a concept once. Now I release it came to me unconsciously from all those records.
I really hope Rick makes a vid about this. There are many subtle things about music that make a big difference to how we relate to it. Talking about it is one thing but seeing a proper analysis with examples would demystify what’s actually different about today’s popular music and perhaps why it all seems so sterile.
So true, so true.
You mean QUANTIZING? Yes, I used to think MIDI and all things DSP were the greatest thing to happen to music production. I know think I got that completely backwards.
Beginner question -- what is the grid? I watched that section of the video a few times and I thought maybe they were referring to how forward/back the drums sound in the mix, but I'm guessing it refers to playing right on beat?
Edit: so it does seem like it's the beat -- so why is this a bad thing for pop music?
What a fantastic and exciting interview. I wish I could take part in this.
Super interview. What a humble guy. Still learning and sharing. I'm so glad Tim's vids started showing up in my suggestions. Each one is a gem.
Excellent, you really don't find very many videos like this any where. Thank you for disecting the sounds and imparting your words of wisdom guided by your many years of top-notch experience. Priceless.
Tim is humble. That lead solo in little runaway was one of the greatest solos of all time and deserves to be in the rock and roll hall of fame.
I absolutely enjoy seeing you two in a video. Saves me time watching one video verse two! Also, I got so happy thinking Tim was in my hometown Bakersfield. Tarzania is awesome because you got Norm’s though.
So glad to see this type of content being put out there. I could listen to you both talk about gear and the nuances for hours.
While living in Los Ángeles I was fortunate to work with long time Tim’s friend ...the late Ramón Stagnaro, the nylon guitarist extraordinaire (even Tim made a video about him) and he was exactly what Tim is talking about here. He would come to my small sessions, independent artists with a super pro attitude. Pro sound and always in the pocket. He would go as “ play me the song as I’m setting up my guitar,...” then he would say again “..let me play the tune one way through it..” then 2 more tracks and ta-ta !!!...job done.
The problem....then I couldn’t select the lines ....all of them where pieces of art ....literally....a shame not letting them sound in the mix !!!
I miss you Ramon...we all !!!!!!!!!
Either Tim has a great PR guy/girl that tells him "smile at the camera Tim" or Tim just likes to smile at the camera. These dudes are my generation artists, great talent, intelligent, amiable. Love Tim and Rick - been a subscriber for eons.
Rick, you are fantastic. Your knowledge of music and theory is inspiring. Also, keep going with your song breakdowns. Great.
Rick I’ve noticed how you connect with just about everyone you interview! You seen to be able to make people feel comfortable. Great work!
Tim thank you for all your contributions to music we all grew up with and love. You deserve much more recognition.
I've learned a boatload of great stuff from both these guys. Wonderful interview.
Absolutely love how he makes real music and real musicians still relevant today
3 songs a day. New goal. I've been watching Rick and Tim for a bit now. I appreciate them both for sharing their knowledge and experience with us. It's definitely helped me become a better player and musician.
All I know is this is a couple of All-stars sharing useful information!!! Fantastic and much appreciated video!!!
This is one of my favorite podcasts. I was in a cover band with my grade school friends when we were in high school in the late 60s. Then I got married had kids and a career, but always had guitars and have been playing into my late 60s. I'm not a pro but I'm amazed that I understood everything these pros are talking about.
Tim Pierce is amazing! Love his videos and same for you Rick! Cheers!
Tim is such a "great" guitarist seeming to be able to find and play what is "just right" for any song. I especially like it when he does a cover of a song "his way" because 9 times out of 10 Tim's version is so much better! Never tire hearing the guy play. Plus, he is full of knowledge, and just a pretty good guy on top of it all. Great video!
Man I LOVE this video!!! As an amateur guitar player, it's pure gold!! Love these conversations
Get this: I don't play guitar. However, after watching and LISTENING to Rick's videos, I have gained an understanding of what is happening on that there fretboard. You have enhanced my perception and pleasure of the guitar. Sent all the way from Morecambe, England
Me too!!!😁
Tim's guitar work on Rick Springfield's 'Living in Oz' is still some of my most favourite and most inspirational guitar playing over the past 40 years. It really has stood the test of time.
I totally agree !!!!!
So out of all guitar music ever made, Rick Springfield's album you consider as good as it gets? Really?
@@Acujeremy
1. “some of my most favorite” does not mean “as good as it gets”.
Did you read “some of my most favorite” and think that
“some” meant “as”,
“of” meant “good”,
“my” meant “as”,
“Most” meant “it”
and “favorite” meant “gets”?
That’s an odd way to read it.
Some of my favorite food is pizza, but I wouldn’t call it the best food ever made.
Is it an issue with actual reading? Is it a reading comprehension problem? Are you unable to understand it conceptually?
2. The guitarist wasn’t Rick Springfield, it was Tim Pierce. Is Tim Pierce not a good enough guitarist for you?
3. So your opinion about this particular album is valid, but the OP’s opinion is not?
I really don’t understand. Please help me understand.
Dear Rick and Tim - first, Rick, congratulations on your channel going from strngth to strength. Tim, I embarassed that - at 66 years old - I had never heard of you and then UA-cam's wonderful algorithm served me up your Mimisounds session and the Rick interview back-to-back. This is UA-cam - and social media - at its very finest.
Thank you both.
I really like Rick's videos, I learn so much from them plus he always gives us the history pertaining to the subject.
I love Tim's view on the availability of the best equipment. It's cool to see someone so big in the industry say that he wants everyone to be able to have access to the stuff that the big time pros rely on. Personally, he's the reason I picked up the odr-1 a few years ago, and he's also the reason I got myself a danelectro roebuck too. I love hearing from the pros what things are actually viable and dependable in the field and on records. To me, I take solace in knowing that I'm using the same readily available tools as some of the greatest session musicians around. Like, I am CERTAIN that there are good sounds to be had if I put in the work as a player and hone my own craft. It's the same reason I bought a fender p bass as my first primary bass when I was in middle school lol. Give me steady Eddie reliability over "mojo" any day. Seriously, it's so incredible to me to see my modern heroes using stuff as their bread and butter and find that those things aren't priced out the ass or rare beyond imagination.
I'm 50 yrs old and a few yrs into my own guitar journey. Listening to this makes me wish I'd started 40 yrs ago. The Knowledge and enthusiasm you guys put across is second to none. 👏
Keep playing if you can. If work, family, illness don't get in the way, keep playing. 46-year-old late beginner here.
@@marcinbreczko4777 I agree wholly, loving the progression. Listening to these guys makes you realise the journey is endless whatever your age.
54 here and 3 years in......i can hear a song for the first time and play the riff by ear instantly....makes me wish i would have started in 1982, my life could have taken a different turn! But whatever, best decision ever and i'm having the time of my life, playing the songs i so love and creating my own noise😂🥹🎸🤘🎸
@@gearViewmirror i do not believe one word you say. because it's impossible.
@@BigEdWo I might add that i am completely obsessed! I am a carpenter and in the same time i have learnt to do my own guitar work, down to a full neck reset on a 12 string Yamaha acoustic of 35 years. I build my own jigs and tools and spend any free minute playing.
Excellent interview technique. Leading the guest without interrupting or talking too much about himself. Great job Rick. 🎉
i love to listen to you guys nerd out on little details and tricks and tips. I don't understand most of it but love it, keep it up!
Love these guys. Always such an education listening to them, relaxed conversations between people that really know their stuff but at a level even someone with a passing interest can understand. Almost like you are part of the conversation even though your just watching a video…. That’s what makes this so engaging.
A question for both Rick and Tim…. Could you one day discuss the difference between learning to play in you early teens and in you mid 40’s or later; that is when you have all the time in the world and no responsibility vs. Limited time and and the responsibilities of adulthood and family’s.
Great video. So much knowledge between you two guys. Anyone that's trying to do this should consume your words and experiences. Great to see another meeting of your minds...💯🎸🤘💻🎧🎤
What a great perspective! As a bedroom guitarist it's heartening to see all the work that goes into recording guitar as a profession
This is wonderful, I am a guitarist who has had a long hard and fucked up life worked my way off the streets of Long Beach california, and you know what saved me? playing guitar tbqh. thx for this wisdom!
That reverb unit sounds AMAZING!
And yeah Rusty Anderson is fantastic, I love just watching him play when he's with McCartney. All you pros make everything look so easy!
This a great video. Watched it a few times. So much to learn.
I’m a bassist so I’m coming from their point of view about timing and drums.
I’ve been listening for a while about behind the beat etc. Years.
I’ve played in many bands. Not all but most it seems that the keyboard and guitar players do not listen to the drums or bass. As far as timing. They’re singing and playing in their own world.
Keys playing his version of time an accents. And the guitarist the same. So most of the time it’s three different accents or whatever going on. Bass and drums against the other two who aren’t in lockstep. I totally get when Tim said behind the best or follow the grid.
One band when were practicing I told them if everyone wou 42:30 ld hit in the middle of the beat it would be powerful. Guitar player laughed at my remark.
Not that we didn’t try to fix it.
Rick and Tim. A truly dynamic duo. Great vid !!
I know nothing from nothing as far as what you and Tim talked about, but it was still such a pleasure listening to the two of you!
Amen, brother!!!😂
