    I'm blown away by the young guitarists on Instagram and TikTok whose speed is ridiculous, but I think there's a case to be made that Andy has not only the best tone, feel, touch and phrasing, but also the most soul of any guitarist on Earth today.

    Mr Timmons is one of those rare guitar players who can seemingly do it all. Everything that he plays is so tasteful, fluid, and pure. I put him in the same “God tier” (forgive the popular expression) as Guthrie Govan, Eric Johnson, Steve Vai, Steve Lukather, Paul Gilbert, Allan Holdsworth and others of that ilk. This is beautiful playing.
