    Can't think of anyone more deserving of a rig rundown than this man. Such a virtuoso and fantastic teacher.

    Some say tone is in the hands - I think Tim’s is in his smile.

      Imagine him sucking on you for coke money with that very same enthusiasm! He used to do that for me back in the day out in the OC before things blew up

    TIM PIERCE, such an amazing, polished, intricate player! Yet to watch the ease to which he bonds with any guitar he is playing, is so relaxed. Like he’s sitting on a couch having a cup of coffee. He looks so laid back, and really enjoying his craft. He makes this look so easy, but we all know how painstakingly hard it truly is to accomplish. He has his own tone, but can mimic and match the best guitar gods out there, effortlessly!
    Love to see a segment of TIM, and JOHN, jamming together!

    I can’t put a number on how many times I’ve heard Tim talk about his gear, approach, set up,reasoning, etc. It will absolutely never get old. His skill and touch are one thing but his joy and devotion to music are what brings me back. Such a legend.

  • @ampersandmcvinegar5681
    @ampersandmcvinegar5681 Před rokem +17

    Nicest guitarist in the world. Tone monster!

    Tim’s the man! What a sweet guy. His command center cockpit is unreal. Great episode

  • @Steve-ih7dg
    @Steve-ih7dg Před rokem +42

    At last!! Tim is one of those legends who so few people know of by name - yet many many have heard play as a sessionman on thousands of songs. Can't wait to watch this. His enthusiasm, humility - & that smile of his - always warms my heart.

  • @synonyx
    @synonyx Před rokem +5

    I love how Tim is just having fun while doing this the whole time. This was awesome John!

  • @manofleisure75

    Tim and John. Tone and gear talk hosts match made in heaven. Fantastic video and two of the nicest, coolest dudes in all the guitar world! I could listen to them talk gear and tones for hours. God bless and rock on 🎸😎

    Tim doesn’t have a rig. He has a mission control center.

    I've never seen JB so quiet, he looks completely mesmerised by Tim's rig and masterful playing. Love it ❤

    • @GuiitarBilly
      @GuiitarBilly Před rokem

      Imoho John uses his excellent interviewing skills to guide rig rundowns and asks questions to help artists provide their pertinent gear info. He’s great at asking the right stuff, then pretty much staying out of the way while they answer. With Tim most of this isn’t necessary. Tim’s a master communicator who’s been refining things through hundreds of videos over the years….and he’s demoed his guitars and cockpit many times on his own and other channels .This seems like it was an easy one for John, he could just let Tim go and enjoy the music and the info.
      Two pros doing their thing.

  • @Nozmo_King_NJ
    @Nozmo_King_NJ Před rokem +7

    Tim is one totally melodic guitar man! That Les Paul is a beaut!

  • @neal9812
    @neal9812 Před rokem +1

    Tim is right on the money on everything:
    1) Guitars are tools of the trade: they're better with modern improvements but without leaving the aesthetics aside (vintage vibe or whatever works for you)
    2) Amps, speakers and pedals complementing each other
    3) Setting the environment up so one can focus on creativity and not connecting/disconnecting, setting up, etc.
    thanks for this rig rundown, Tim is a player but also a guitar gear expert, which makes it more interesting.

    Tim has the best tone I’ve ever heard… It’s always different but always amazing. Doesn’t matter what guitar or amp/modulator he’s playing through… Which makes me think it’s just how he plays

  • @Steve-ih7dg
    @Steve-ih7dg Před rokem +1

    Love how Tim just drops in 'I met Tom thru Joe Bonamassa'. There's another story - but Tim has such humility, it's never a name drop with him.

    Great stuff - obviously love Tim's playing but love his ethos just as much. So refreshing hearing such an expert talk about "player grade" and new guitars with such enthusiasm. Much a pleasant change from all the vintage megabucks stuff.
