It is Tim Pierce. He talks about it quite often - it’s one of his favorite solos. He knew Bon Jovi from recording the Runaway solo in NY. Years later in an LA studio he ran into Jon who was working on the Xmas song. Jon asked Tim if he could do a solo - Don Felder had just given it a shot - so Tim went in and played the perfect solo for the song!
Awesome! Amazing solo. Great playing and teaching! You nailed the tone too. Wondering if you could share some details about it. Sounds like a slap back delay or some type of roomy reverb on there? Sounds just like the recording.
Thanks so much! A simple slapback I think set around 90ms, some verb, as well as a little bit of room sound from the cab block on the fractal fm9. I think the amp sim I used was an ac30. Thanks for watching!

What is the signal chain if I may ask… that tone is rather nice.
Thank you mate! It’s just directly into my fm9. I’m using a dumble amp sim on this one
60's...i dont think Pierce was old enough to do this tune. Couldn't had been 15 yrs old then. But, im probably wrong. Cool stuff dude
Bon Jovi released it in 1994 my friend…
I just woke up my friend. Sorry..makes sense now. Good day
😂😂 love it. Thanks for watching Mike! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Love your channel and playing-Isn't it Richie Sambora?
Thanks! To me it sounds like Tim, and he did play on Runaway which was earlier.
@@troydownwardmusic You may be right, it definitely sounds like him and I believe Tim played with Bon Jovi, before his breakthrough.
So helpful that you show the shape you are imagining.
