- Here is a bit of jumpin' blues played on a 1953 Gibson ES125. its a great sounding and playing Guitar. There is now a transcription of the entire solo available at www.timlerch.com
I'm 71. You are exactly the guitarist I wanna be when I grow up.
Well I am 74 and hoping the exact same thing
And both of us better get on it. Time is awasting Shal
And I’m 73 soon to be 74……feeling about the same :)
I told my Daddy, "I want to be a guitarist when I grow up." He said, "Son, you can't have it both ways."
I'm only 67.@@donk9132
Well I finally found something the Internet is good for: this man playing guitar.
The wealth of experience and musical connections that drop from his fingers is like a turkey and dressing dinner you've waited for all year.
What?!? Tim Lerch is flat-picking!?! What a joy to listen to, and what an unachievable standard to strive for . Thanks!
This is like the frontier between jazz, blues and rock and roll.
My Dad left me a 1946 ES125 he got from his uncle that purchased it when he came home from the world war. Some 41 models were packed away but I think they changed the Gibson signature in 46 as post war models when production picked back up. Anyway love mine and has such a unique sound when plugged in (comes to life).. Thanks for your time Tim!
What a rare treat to hear somebody play like a grown up.

jpalberthoward9 fucking great comment! I love it!
Just plain excellent, you put the life force in that ax, and don't you forget it!
Exceptional playing. Very tasteful.
What a beautiful sounding guitar bringing back the old days ! I love this man playing the blues.
Inspiring performance, thank you. Makes me realize I need to practice harder. About eightteen years ago I spend all my money on a '49 ES-125. Fell in love with it's percussive and vibrant (acoustic) tone straight away. When I plugged it in, things even became better. Love it to bits!
I'll give you a $100.
This is the first thing that I've ever commented on and created an account just to do so. Breathtaking playing, Tim. I've just discovered your tutorials and they're inspiring! Just started playing again after thirty years absence. I won't be 10% of the player that you are but these tutorials give me something to aim at, at least. I absolutely love your style of playing, presentation and obvious sheer enjoyment of the guitar. Thank you so much.
Absolutely agree. Tim's a class act. Oh, and now I am the proud owner of that very one guitar. Next stop: learning this solo from Tim's transcription.
Fantastic! Also became a proud owner of a '55 ES-125 as a result of this video. Now if I could only make it sound like that...... :-)
I got mine 15 years ago, what do they go for these days? No I will not sell.
Ami me gusta el archtop guitar todavía
ES125's... they are exceptional, beautiful instruments; you've discovered a beauty, TL & will give her new, fresh life again - doubtless! dig it, man!!
.I do appreciate the very fluent melodic phrasing on this Bb blues and the wink to "Tenor
Madness" starting at 3'34 , the emphases of the development and the overall construction that tells a captivating blues story .
Love your playing! And jump blues is hard to beat. Captures that transition period from big band to RnR.
Going to have to agree with the first post here. Keeping it real, with some of the sweetest little half step combos all the way through staying right in the nugget... That space never gets old, this is shred'n
Great! Tone, technique, feel, phrasing, articulation…perfect as always!
THIS was the fusion music of its time!! Brilliant!!
Thanks Guys for your kind comments, I teach via skype, visit www.timlerch.com for contact info
How wonderful it is to feel "clean." Merry Christmas, Tim.
Yes, someone contemporary on UA-cam who knows how to make that kind of instrument sound good.
This Player + This Guitar = A Wonderfull Groove!!!!
Thank`s a lot.
Really nice blues soloing. Love that guitar.
And yes my 125C 1965 has the same Vibes!, nicely seasoned licks!! THANKS!!
That guitar was made in Kalamazoo, Michigan..........same town I was made in. 225 Parsons is the old Gibson factory, now is Heritage Guitars.
Fabulous swinging guitarist Tim great classic feeling makes you want to dance
Great Chops! Really enjoy your playing…such great form & “STYLE”
Thanks!
There is now a transcription of this solo! Visit www.timlerch.com look in lessons/arrangements
Timothy Lerch Hi Tim where can I find the transcription, had a look on your site but couldn’t find it. Fantastic playing mate!
Great playing and what a beautiful guitar, just like mine from '66! Thank you for sharing!
Just fell for a '60 es 125 today. Sometimes a single pickup sounds perfect. Should have brought it home today. Nice feel and tone. Thanks for the demo.
Tim, I always learn something from your videos. Thank you for all that you do to keep the music alive. Nice ES125!
I was totally impressed then came the chord solo. Great playing. Thanks.
Meaning the chord sol was even better!!!
Killer playing!!Swings like crazy
That it does man.....like a big ol clock
Lovely playing Tim, gorgeous!
Man, Tim...this swings like a gate! Solid syncopation and tasty licks too. Love it, man! Go, Tim, GO!!!
Your playing is mesmerizing! Incredible smoothness and taste!
great to hear you again you have been inspiration for many years thanks Tim
I have a 1949 es125 it is my #1 love!
Thank you Tim. Lovely playing.
That sounds awesome! I owned one of those years ago. Looks like it’s time for another one! Thanks Tim.
This guy makes me want to play. Going for it now!!
Real snap. A joy to hear.
Phrasing perfection and tone.
so so good, and so kind to share your music with us! Would you consider sharing what strings you like on this guitar? thanks
Who says you need an overdrive pedal or some fancy amp? this is awesome guitar! A man, his fingers and his guitar. Totally enjoyed! More lessons Sir.
I have the exact same one from 1953. Love the p90.
Smooth and Tasteful, thank you, Tim.
excellent...very cool touch.
I love those old gibsons
Nailed that Charlie Christian playing. Love watching your videos.
dig your playing Tim, and that guitar. I have had a thinline version of that guitar since 1970 with a cutaway, a '64, an ES-125TCD, love it.
What a beautiful tone on it. Neck position P-90 still has a bit of honk to it which is perfect, IMO.
Lovely just sweet as always Tim!
Makes you want to play it! Brilliant.
Thank you for sharing.
Very relaxed and smooth playing!
Love the guitar but never can affort one. So i'm going with my Godin 5h avenue.
Greets from Germany

What a nice groove! And, fantastic playing!
Straight out of Oklahoma City, home of Charlie C. Style reminds me of another great player- Hollywood Fats. Yeah I know he played mostly strays but he was a phenomenal player. Gone way too soon. Damn! I would love to sound like this. You are my gold standard now. Thanks, Shal
My guitar mentor had one of these guitars. I could have bought it for $150 in 1975 when I purchased a 66 Fender Twin Reverb from the same guy. I foolishly passed on it have wished a thousand times I'd bought it. At least I still have the amp.
noticed your breathing with your lines//great way to make your lines flow like a horn player,,i happen to be working on a thinline version of the same guitar your playing ..thanks for sharing
Beautiful sound and playing
Wonderful playing!
Great stuff, lovely guitar and playing
Great playing and very cool box!

Awesome playing and on a great sounding guitar !
That's a really good video thanks
I like this sound and feeling.
Chorus after chorus nice ideas cleanly played!
so beautiful ! thank you
Really great. Thank you.
my first nice guitar was an es125. Bought it in 1975 or so, for $225. Still regret trading it away.
Great transcription. Plenty to keep me busy there.
This is beautiful!
i love this mans style love to play like that
Great play and sound. I've a ES 125 too, very good guitar !
Great guitar; I want one too!
Sounds awesome! I love mine.
Love your playing
Nice playing bro! Beautiful guitar as well, she's a keeper!
Dig that T-Bone stuff your throwing in there! Those entry level 40s/50s/early 60s- Gibsons ES 120/125’s/and ES-140s used to be Easy on the wallets- not anymore
Great stuff
Que suave está señor una maravilla
Great tone!
Tasty! More, bravo!
Nice playing
After watching this vid I just realized I should really think more about the economy of my right hand movements while playing.
Tim-I bought - about 6 weeks ago - an Epiphone 1966 Century reissue. It just like the 125, but thinner. I can't put it down. 1 P90 which is quite spanky - you can play hard rock on it too.
Those sound great. Epiphone, or maybe I should say Gibson did a great job. I tried a couple and they feel and sound vintage. Congrats on that fine guitar.
Splendid!
Great tone.....👍👌👏
Kick my rear!! Blow my socks off! I don't know why I never heard this one before Tim... Great stuff!! Makes me want to sell all my guitars and give up playing... not really... Great Tim, Great!! Best Always, jp
incredible!
Very nice. I just picked up a Guild X50 which is a very similar instrument. Quite different than what I'm used to but I'm enjoying getting to know it.
+Ryan Donahue here im using an unwound G probably a 20p
I wonder what it would be like to be that talented?
Tim, I have never heard you sound better. Bravo. (you always sound great though) Thanks for posting.
Nice Solo Tim....
🇧🇷Thanks; for sharing, very nice !
This is so goood!
