Thanks to people like Tim I keep playing and I’m the best soloist in my bedroom 😆👍
Does your wife/girlfriend agree with that statement? 😀
@@zivaradlovacki2666 His wife hates it but his girlfriend likes it!
@@skintslots 😂
Thanks for this info Tim, great stuff. Can I ask where you get your backing tracks? Do you make them yourself possibly? Thanks again
Just remember what Tim said and give your hand a rest
Youre one of the best guitarists I know . Most versatile
I started this guitar trip at 70, four years ago, so have some catching up to do :) ..Love it. Thanks for all your work Tim.
Glad you enjoy it!
I started at 61. Been playing 3 1/2 years . I play everyday to catch up. :)
I'm an old fart myself, but still love my guitars. Rock on brother.
Tim is a very humble man. He has wonderful skills yet he lifts everyone around him up with good words. Thanks for sharing your abilities, knowledge and TIME with guitar plebes like me.
Tim Pierce is a musical treasure
You're a real National treasure
Tim Pierce is like the Bob Ross of electric guitar, and I mean that as an absolute complement. He's so unassuming and soft-spoken, laying down killer riffs with ease and a laugh, just like when Bob painted happy little trees. Thank you for your music, inspiration, and generosity with your time and knowledge, Tim! 🤘
I’ve been trying to find the right compliment for Tim and you have nailed it. He’s the best. We love you, Tim - so glad that you and your family are safe.
Finally, someone teaching lead guitar the way I learned 48 years ago. Way to go, Tim.
Hey, thank you so much I appreciate it
That diagonal pattern is right out of the Green Note Music's 1973 "Improvising Rock Guitar" (the original Hendrix cover, of course). Loads of goodness there if you can find it.
Great video. After fumbling around for 40 years, it is videos like this that is making me get out of the intermediate stage.
Great to hear!
Anybody else get a Green Grass And High Tides vibe from Tim's first play along? Tim is the guru of making the guitar simple!!!! Thanks for sharing sir🙏
Absolutely !!!
Thanks Tim - your videos are incredibly helpful 🎸!
Hundreds of songs use the same
I gotta say Tim, you're about the only teacher/youtuber who always makes me feel like I'm actually pretty good, instead of everything flying miles over my head. Thank you
I love your slow playing so much. Like Gilmour, so much feeling and emotion.
I just come for the beautiful guitar playing! I am getting Tim's lessons after watching for 2 years!
wow, thanks so much
amazing guitarist and teacher!!!
You are definitely my favorite guitarist on RUclips, Tim.. you play like me , everything you play is melodic and has a good feel to it. You play with everything in your being .. and it's very noticable.. such a joy to listen to you do what you love.
It's no wonder at all that you got and still get a lot of work , playing the good stuff! Love to you and your family my friend 👍
Wow, thanks!
Back in the early 70’s, there were no teachers around,there was no RUclips.
I learned by playing notes that sounded right, and noticed they formed a pattern. Then I noticed that they intersected with other patterns, all up and down the neck.
I just sat there and taught myself the whole fretboard on my little silvertone.
It’s been fun all these years.
You are absolutely right on Rabea Massaad. Versatile and melodic, great instincts, super unique. One of my favorite modern players.
Great Lesson Tim !!! For the record "Al Dimeola is just jealous of Matteo Mancuso" .. and what guitar player wouldn't envy Matteo, the kid is a freak of nature ... I love it !!!
One of the best lessons I’ve had so far🎼🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Mr Pierce deserves a bigger RUclips following😀😄
Just really good advice here Tim. I'm 61, been playing on and off for over 40 years, and I feel like I might be starting to get it thanks to videos like yours.
The Guitar sound is so sweet..
Love your soulful playing and fretboard knowledge, Tim!
Thank you thank you thank you. I've been doing several of the things you showed here for decades, but never associated one with the other. Happy dance, Tim!! This is a breakthrough for me. The most instructive 25 minutes of my 55 years of farting around on guitar.
Tim, Your face just beams with such soulful joy when you play. Thank you for sharing your body of knowledge!
Pretty crazy….a couple weeks ago i dove into playing the pentatonic on a single string to gain more flexibility with the stacked boxes …worked wonderfully. And then i find this! Thanks for another great lesson Tim
This is basically how I learned scales when I started playing 25 years ago... then stopped when I got told to play boxes instead! Thanks Tim for this great insight.
Thank you Tim for videos like this. Simple things you say like “I don’t talk about the boxes but I still see them” makes me realise that even though I am not and will never be at your professional level, it shows that the line of thought still there on similar approach trying to make music as a bedroom player or as a professional guitarist 🎸
My pleasure!
So cool to see how happy 5 pentatonic based notes can make you - when played with the right feeling and touch! It can transcend time and space!
I sooo enjoy watching you play TP! So effortless and jovial at the same time. Dude I could’ve had a rough day, crappy mood and then I watch your videos and BAM 💥 relaxed and smiling 😂
Thanks so much!
Cheers 🍻
I stumbled upon this years ago and it has served well, it works great. I have taught guitar classes for years and now I’m in my late sixties no longer teaching but still playing daily and with worship band every Sunday. This is the best way to learn how to get around the fretboard.
Pretty cool that you shouted out Rabea Masaad. Great player in a variety of styles. I learn a lot from Bea.
Mr Pierce. What a joy it is to watch your videos.
For the first time ever I got chills listening to that phrase at 12:30... from a LESSON.
Top notch stuff here man, thank you for sharing your wisdom coming from decades of experience, all while being so humble.
I appreciate the story telling as much your playing. It's never a brag. Thanks for the tip. I'm a pentatonic / dorian guy for 30 years. Never thought of this technique.
I never learned “the boxes” and now I’m glad I didn’t…I like your way of teaching this scale a lot more. Thanks, Tim!
Thank you Tim - you are such an inspiration. At 72... I`m picking up my guitar again. I recently bought a Fender Telecaster Plus (Mexican made) and I love it. I just didn`t know what to do with it and where to start again. Now I have a task for the weekend. Thanks again ! Looking forward to a weekend full of fun.
So Excellent and SO much fun!! Thank you Tim
Such emotion in your playing, feels good
Hey Tim, We're the same age! I started playing 3 years ago. This is the best lesson I have seen so far. Along with a few from Rick Beato. Thank YOU both!
I love Rick’s stuff too. I have less than zero music theory knowledge so my eyes glaze over sometimes when Rick nerds out on the theory, but I love it!
I ordered the same Heritage with a plain top and it came at 7.5 lbs , it's the best Les Paul type I have ever played. Thanks Tim
He's such a nice interesting guy and i love the way he plays. wish i was a talanted as him.Thanks Tim. U make my day every time i listen to you
Tim, thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge with the masses. I’m a fan since Runaway.
Thank You Sir, I mostly play rythm but want to throw in a melodic line from time to time😉
I have never been able to remotely play a lead and navigate around the fret board, but the way you explained it in this video it is finally staring to click. You sir brought new joy playing my guitar again. Thank you Tim for the awesome tutorial explaining it in a way that I could start to under stand.
Great point at the end. Losing your fear of making mistakes is crucial for making new sounds.
Even though the title was click-bait - the sessions are always entertaining and informative. Thanks Mr. Pierce!
Tim, you are never off your game. Every livestream, interview, video and more feel natural and I watch some of them a BUNCH of times. We have many of the same influences, even though I cannot play nearly as well as you can. Joe Walsh. Friggin Joe!!!! At a dinner party at mopm`s friends house I sought to find a space away from the adults. I went to the hosts "study" and found his stereo. Went through and found an album from the James Gand. Never heard them before but I liked the name of a song called Funk #48 (NOT #49) popped it on amd was rolling around giddy with the hair on by body standing on end! On the way home that night I asked for a guitar for Christmas. 1979 and my journey began. Joe was the reason I have my Les Paul on my lap right now. Love your stuff Tim!! Thank you. Sorry for typo on James Gang.
Always joy and inspiration- thanks Tim . 🎸👏👍
Tim, I was thinking "what about Rabea"... and then you said his name! Glad to hear you appreciate his style. He's a personal favourite player of mine and it would be great to see you interview and play with him. Make it happen! Tha KS for the lesson... cheers
Haha! Tim's laugh and his own pleasure from and enthusiasm for his own killer licks have me grinning ear to ear
I no longer play as much as I used to as I’m getting up there in years, but I sure love watching you play you’re so excited about what you do and how you teach
I love how clean you play. Aside from your obvious knowledge and skills that's the other thing that really impresses me...
You are an amazing instructor.
Thank you for all your help.
6 years of in person lessons and I learn more about the notes on the fretboard in 25 minutes with Tim....just drinking my morning coffee! I'm in on your lessons! I like your teaching style! Thank you...I'm so stuck....I quit my in person lessons and need some direction!
What I love about this video is the joy. That energy is a huge assist in imparting the knowledge and understanding...thank you so much.
So enjoy your lessons. I discovered part of this by accident recently playing to a Gilmourish backing track. I’ve never been formally trained on guitar(piano and clarinet) but my ear enjoys finding the way. Thanks for the insight and practical tips. We rookies really appreciate it!
Your explanations make learning the concepts so simple and easy to practice, easy to remember. This is why I bought the Master Class! More, yes please. Thanks Tim.
The approach I got from a Carl Verheyen video is to play the pentatonics ascending and descending 3 notes per string. Then practice it in a different key every day. After month or so of practice you see all the notes up and down the fretboard and can move effortlessly both horizontally and vertically.
Thanks tim.
Ive been using a .38mm dunlop here lately and it has changed the way i play for sure.
It’s one thing to be a great guitar player, it’s another thing to share your knowledge with everyone and yet another level when you are also a great engaging teacher with clear and understandable explanations.
Thank you Tim! Love these videos, they are a true treasure and I can’t get enough of them!
Great lesson. Thanks, Tim.
I'm amazed at the equipment you have! It would be fascinating to see an inventory of everything, a description of what it all does and how it is used. A great video all by itself.
Great job! Really brings together the fretboard and the pentatonic scales, weaving in the 7 note major and minor scales.
CNC machinist/guitar player here, watching your video on my lunch break. Definitely adds consistency to the manufacture of anything. Still needs to be set up and operated by humans though😁 Enjoy your vids, thanks!
14:32 Hey, totally agree, Lukather has like matured very nicely and so has his playing, he has evolved to a new place, still being himself but like in a more purified way, I had noticed it and hadn't been able to put it to words until I heard you mention it. And yeah, Rabea is also a very good player.
Nice one!
I'd like to hear your take on using the "5 note scale" in a way that you're playing the minor pentatonic over a 3 chord such as an A flat pentatonic over an E chord.(Super fast M7th flow) I discovered this a few years ago. 🙂
I've been following Tim Pierce for quite a while now.This master of guitar has open new doors in learning scales, riffs,and solos from records I've been hearing for years.Tim in my opinionis one of the true masters of guitar playing as well as teaching .Thank You TIM for bringing me out of the "GUITAR RUTT" !
Power packed lesson there thank you Mr. Pierce.
Thanks light bulb went off..relationship between major pentatonic and major scale. Thanks Tim!
Great stuff! Variety, imagination, space, playing/phrasing across measures. Not just playing boxy within the measure. Also, play like a singer, like you are writing a melody. As guitarists, we sometimes fall back or "default" to what is easier.
Discovered this while making up an exercise for my guitar students in 1989 when I was 15. Has been engrained in my brain ever since! You just blew my mind putting this up!
Wow! Thanks Tim! I love it all! 50’s,60’s,70’s,80’s playing slow,puntiate! ,break! good!,good!,good!
Just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you, sir. I hope you realize the impact you have made on music in so many genres and styles. I really appreciate your work and your extensive contribution to so many guitarists love of music and the eternal struggle to improve. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Thanks Tim! as a drummer and guitar " player " this info is golden! much much appreciated!
Thanks for the lesson. After some 50 years of playing I have gotten stuck in a rut I need new things and ideas to stimulate my brain. These lessons help to clear out all the BS I have been doing to long. Back to simple tasteful melody influenced licks.
Pick up an acoustic and try Drop D tuning. Simple change. It'll blow your mind.
A fabulous lesson, Tim. This is EXACTLY what I need to help me break out of the pentatonic boxes!
Tim, I 100% agree. Is there anything wrong with playing the music that's pleasant to your ear? I'm a blues rock guitarist because that's the music I like. I feel no need to learn anything else. I TOTALLY respect classical guitarists...Segovia...Flamenco..Paco Delucia, Dimeola...Bluegrass...Doc Watson...Country...Chet Atkins...Roy Buchanan...Danny Gatton....ALL Brilliant..obviously. But my music of preference is rooted in blues rock and I'm not much interested in indulging in other styles. The great Martin Barre was quoted as saying he's a blues rock guitarist. He never claimed to be anything else and is completely happy with it. Another great video, Sir.
That is genius, Tim. I’ve never heard anyone explain it that way. It makes so much sense to me. I really never thought of doing that. Thanks.❗️
What a completely inspiring an excellent RUclips video. Very rarely that somebody show stuff about how to play guitar that excites me thank you.
I was taught this years ago and I use it all the time. It was taught to me as “Kumoi” a Japanese scale 1:44
Wow man! You really sound great!
Tim, you are the one that makes me want to plug in and get better. Your lessons are simple but packed with decades of wisdom.
It turns out I am using the positions and shapes you demonstrated, but to me the most valuable bit I got was the 5-notes in rock-n-roll concept. I use it to create small motifs that I then move around to the different root positions up and down the neck. I am not much of a bender but I do like to do a lot of slides, maybe from listening to many skilled musicians do it. I try bends but find doing it well very difficult and inconsistent for me. (Combining the bend with the tremolo is hard to do smoothly) In other videos you have mentioned the concept of space in the playing. The 5-note idea fits into that nicely. It gives time for the mind to breathe, much like taking a breath as I sing.
This was an awesome lesson.
Thanx for it all, Tim...the guru of all gurus!!! I thought at first, "I know all this", but, even if you're advanced, it's kind of a great macro for a guitar solo!!..And once you can improvise some little licks around it, there ya go! You are as great a teacher as you are a guitar slinger...much respect.
I knew Rabea from his appearances on Andertons but only recently discovered his music. He is so tasteful and mixes genres in his songs so well. You know he can shred but he only does if the song calls for it.
yeah, I would love to meet him someday, I love his playing
Tim is such an inspiration. Thanks, Tim for so calmly showing how it's done. Without exploration there is no creation.
I've been missing these, your videos. I'm not worthy, but you teach wisely. Ill never be there. Love to learn & hear how the pros work on instruments other than DRUMS/percussion. NEED A GROVE????
Tim's Quote: I don't make mistakes! A true master!
It's funny that you mentioned Rabea, because as a drummer who DOESN'T play guitar but who nevertheless subscribes to the RUclips channel's of a great many guitar players, you two are among my absolute favorite guitar players!
24:30 ever since I got a couple gravity picks with JHS pedals it's been 1.5mm acrylics. There is nothing like their attack and the expanded dynamic range, you can almost get bell tones.
Tim, awesome spending time with you on this video. I would like to know what steps you take to protect your hearing.
Hey Tim been in touch with Heritage and discussed the same specs as your new baby. Sounds perfect for me
At the 21 minute spot, you & Jeff sound outstanding through my Bose headset, love it Tim. Thank you for all you do!
Basic stuff but, oh, so important to know! I figured these patterns out on my own many, many years ago. It would have been tremendously helpful to have a resource like this readily available at the time I was a starter (mid 60's), Of course there was no internet then either!! In the early 80's I found an excellent instructor near me (in Manhattan Beach, CA) that really opened my eyes. Great one-on-one instruction still can't be beat IMHO.
Elixir strings are awesome thanks to those strings I was able to pick up the guitar again after a 15 year stint with keyboards. Having a severe nickel allergy is nothing short of disaster when playing guitar but once I found Elixir (Nanoweb) strings I'm back playing guitar again :)
Great stuff Tim, man, old-School approach and feel! With knowledge of the Caged System, this really hits home with the feel and smooth flow! Thanks again! 🎸 🎶
I love all videos by Tim Pierce guitar. I also love the “unitar” approach of learning, the fretboard one string, one finger thing is really liberating after it clicks.
You’re the best my man. Thank you for all that you do. This is a great lesson. 🤙🏾
Great tone... as always!
I have a pocket full of picks and I play whichever pick gives me the sound I want from each different guitar, bot acoustic and electric. I use light to medium cellulose, tortex, laminated rosewood, Zager drilled picks, and a few polished stone picks. I used to play a bull-horn pick, but I wore it out playing bluegrass.
