In a concert in Valencia (Spain) in 2008, he dedicated this song to me personally. I saw him at the sound check before the concert and I asked him if they were going to play Cry for you that night. He told me this: Yes, for you. I will never forget it. Andy Timmons is a Capo
In 26 years I must have heard this piece thousands of times, studio version, live versions, still brings tears to my eyes and a knot in my throat every single time. A masterpiece of nuance and subtlety, possibly one of the most melodically beautiful, emotionally intense and gripping guitar instrumentals ever.
And relatively unknown. I'm a bit of a guitar nut - but have only just come across him (via 'Andy makes Dan cry' on That Pedal Show). Now I can't get enough of him. And seems a really decent guy.
You is a guitarist Eddy Van Halen could have sat and just listened to... maybe he actually did... then go back to his studio to recreate some of it himself. That's saying something. Love how you play! I'm inspired. Nothing like a guitar! Like how a beautiful woman feels in your arms. Perfection.
I went to a guitar retreat about five years ago and Andy was one of the guest presenters. I hadn't really heard his music except in the build to my trip. At the end of a session he ran about harmony he said "any more questions" and a voice from near me said "will you play Cry for You". Great question :) He said "sure", just put on his backing track and went for it. I have to say, playing it for around forty people he put just as much heart and soul into it as for a packed arena gig. It was a pretty small room and the ambience he created with his sound and touch was incredible. I shuffled quietly out of the room with the rest and went off for a quiet few moments to get my emotions back together. What an experience, and what a talent. I'll never forget that magic that he created. And he was a really nice guy too.
To me this is one of the best guitar instrumentals ever written in the history of humanity. I first heard this in the Ibanez anniversary, it was my first time time to see Andy and I listened to all his albums before and after. Amazingly flawless performance as usual.
You have great taste my dude, I also saw your comment on Satriani’s made of tears live which is also my all time favorite. I feel the exact same way about this track, I’ve heard nothing like it.
I was fortunate to attend an Andy Timmons guitar workshop in Dallas many years ago. He played this, and I was sitting directly in front of him -- it was akin to a religous experience. I remember it often. Thank you for all you do, Andy!
Curious what a "guitar workshop" does for you as a player, asides from being inspired by the greats in front of you in person It's probably not too "teachy" but I see shit like this all the time all over, just curious what the average experience is like
In 66 yeas I have NEVER been brought to sobbing tears of emotion over music UNTIL NOW! This enchanting, bewitching piece hit deep into my soul and showed me my whole life from birth to twilight and I'm still crying now. THE BEST PIECE OF MUSIC I HAVE EVER HEARD! Thanks so much God Bless You Andy Timmons.
This is excellent. If you like it, look up some of Guthrie Govan's solo work and his work with Steven Wilson Band. ruclips.net/video/IaH2C2Qe97Y/видео.html And, I too am in my 60s.
I thought Tender Surrender was the thing to beat but Cry For You just knock the shit out of everything.A truly instrumental masterpiece.Andy can really make his guitar pour out emotions.On the way,Sweet soul was also one such example.Pure emotions.
Such a beautiful musician. He has it all. Tasteful phrasing emotional, articulate, melodic & unique. With a level of technical ability to carry the load. He is simply one of the greatest there’s ever been.
That 90th anniversary concert got such a lot of viewing back in the late 90s! It was definitely Andy's night, some sublime playing indeed. Glad to see he has lost none of that fire whatsoever :)
Jesus.....he's so f**king good. I could listen to that ALL day. With all due respect to this shredders, how fast you can play doesn't hold a candle to this kind of melodic solo'ing. I'm not sure you can even call it solo'ing, when played like this. Astonishing tasteful, and beautiful.
I always remember the first time I’ve heard this. But imagine what an Epiphany was for Andy listening to his own masterpiece the first time it came out of its hands. What a godlike feeling must have been
You are such a Beautiful Man with a Beautiful soul, it always comes through in your music, love hearing you play, Fine Gear Behind you, Amazing Guitar ❤ Lisa Einsohn
The first time I heard this song I was in my 20s and in college... Years later on December 9, 2012 I went to the Istanbul concert with my ex-wife. The next day we met at the ferry pier and I said to Andy 'my heart is going to stop' and Andy hugged me and said something like 'man, thank you so much! It will always be a memory I will carry with me. I'm 42 years old now and I still listen to it with the same feeling. 'Cry for you' is a song with a lot of meaning for me. My life isn't going so well. Cry for you makes me cry. Thank you Andy. We would love to see you in Istanbul again.
I was feeling like a world weight of bricks was on my shoulders today and then I heard this and it all went away. Your music has been an uplifting node for me in decades passing.
"To that exceptional guitarist who, with every note he plays, awakens emotions and makes my soul vibrate. Your ability to transmit feelings through the strings is simply amazing. Every time I listen to your music, my hair stands on end and I feel a chills run through my body. Your technical prowess is undeniable, but what really captivates me is the passion and feeling you put into every chord and every solo. You are able to turn the guitar into an extension of your being, and your music becomes a universal language that transcends words. Thank you for giving us unforgettable moments and for transporting us to emotional places through your melodies. Your talent is immense and your passion is contagious. Keep playing with that overwhelming feeling and continue to inspire all of us who have the privilege of listening to you. You are a true master of the six strings and your music will live in our hearts forever. Bravo, exceptional guitarist!"
When i saw first Andy with Cry For You on Ibanez Anniversary Concert it did blow my mind with emotion ! He's guitar tone, dual delay settings and pedal and jsx+ unbeliavble.. A true legend who managed to get Ibanez to make a professional strat for the first time
The moment the tune reached my ears, a reflex action took over my fingers as they instinctively reached for the guitar and began strumming away.This is how my journey with the guitar began.
para mim o melhor guitarrista!!!sou super fã do trabalho dele.. apareceu no meu you tube faz tres anos isso!! ate entao so conhecia o paul gilbert !! mas voce Andy pra mim é o melhor !! parabens e obrigado
That original ‘97 performance is one of the greatest of all time. Now it’s updated with Andy’s current tone. This is something I have been dreaming about for a long time. Finally all taht brilliant playing has the tone it deserves.
That legendary 1997 performace has a magical something to it that even the legend himself cannot reproduce 20+ years later. Not saying this is not an amazing performance, but the 1997 version will always be Andy's magnum opus!
Andy's song is the best!! ️ I got to know Andy from this song. I was moved to tears. It's the best! my favorite guitarist. I think I'm going to sleep after listening to it tonight.
The heart of a giant in a normal human being. A lot of players have great technique but not too many have the huge heart and feeling that he have. Music is about that. Feel and transmit to others your feelings. Art at it's best.
Being an intermediate player, immersing myself in different styles and genres, you come across a player-group that speaks to your ears. The first time I heard Andy's version of Heroes, I was hooked on his style and amazing ability across multiple instruments. Clearly a very talented musician. Its people like Mr. Timmons that keep me hungry for more knowledge and playing techniques. The stuff Andy did with Martin Miller was unreal, thank you so much for the inspiration!
The best brother andy... Greetings from Malaysia.. The day you came to Malaysia, near banteley damansara, all the guitar players praised you and said you are the father of melody.. but that's true.. That's Andy Timmons. Malaysian musicians always talk about Andy's touch. Everyone makes you their idol. Hope Andy can come to Kota Damansara Malaysia again. We are waiting..
Andy Timmons excelente como siempre, no me canso de escuchar esta canción. Uno de los mejores guitarristas , no se puede tocar mejor ni poner mas sentimiento en cada nota.
I’ve just come across this man for the first time in my life, and I can say I am extremely impressed with his ability to be a part of that guitar that many just can’t attain in a lifetime. I felt his soul thru his playing! 👏
In a concert in Valencia (Spain) in 2008, he dedicated this song to me personally. I saw him at the sound check before the concert and I asked him if they were going to play Cry for you that night.

That was a very thoughtful action on his part... he is a master of his instrument.

A masterpiece of nuance and subtlety, possibly one of the most melodically beautiful, emotionally intense and gripping guitar instrumentals ever.

This Song is as Beautiful as your Heart, Mr.Timmons, with Respect ❤November 2024❤
Probably the MOST melodic guitar player around. Such feel, phrasing and chops perfectly placed. Hats off to you Andy Timmons.
Check out Stel Andre, influenced by Andy T. Stel is super good.
Happy Birthday to the greatest guitar player in my eyes! Mr. Andy Timmons!!! July 26th, 2024!!!
Happy birthday 👊
one of the guitar gods
Such an inspiring dude!
And relatively unknown. I'm a bit of a guitar nut - but have only just come across him (via 'Andy makes Dan cry' on That Pedal Show). Now I can't get enough of him. And seems a really decent guy.
USED MY GUITAR, WITH MY NEW TONES MAYBE HEAR A ODD
You is a guitarist Eddy Van Halen could have sat and just listened to... maybe he actually did... then go back to his studio to recreate some of it himself. That's saying something. Love how you play! I'm inspired.
Nothing like a guitar! Like how a beautiful woman feels in your arms. Perfection.
It will stand tall against the test of time. A generational masterpiece.
I can hear the guitar cry. 😭
Andy Timmons, my hero and inspiration. Thank you.

I feel that Windows To The Soul from Steve Vai has to be part of the discussion as well.
Tender Surrender is a great ballad too @@jimbojimjs
Andy is such a lyrical guitarist. A technical wizard who just doesn't spout off thoughtless/soulless riffs. This jam is definitely a case in point.
thats what i thought. i felt like im hearing some voice there.

That specific performance of this song is pure magic. One of those "capturing lightning in a bottle" performances. Amazing
The original was too perfect even player himself could not copy it......what a legend ❤
One of the most beautiful guitar songs ever written you are a legend. Brazil loves you.
My one of the best and great composition of my dear Andy Sir 🙏🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕💕💕
In my opinion...one of the most soulful and powerful ballads ever written !🔥
Maybe this channel is hacked by scammer...
@@june9713 oh gosh I just saw this comment ! That is the weirdest thing ever! I did not make that comment...thx for pointing that out

Holy crap. Just amazing. You are a guitar god.
Absolutely amazing phrasing. Pure emotion.
Like a fine wine, it just keeps getting better!

The best piece of art ever created by a phenomenal guitarist

How he captures the essence of emotion is unheared of. Just a masterpiece played by a still living legend!
This is that song you can listen to for the rest of your life if you're ever in a deserted island and have one song to choose from !
No one makes it sing like Andy - Amazing!
Awesome, no words... only God know about your talent
Simplemente gracias.. te amo🎉
This is right up there with 'Cause We Ended As Lovers by Jeff Beck. Both masterpieces in their own right! Rock on, Andy!
The first time I heard this song I was in my 20s and in college... Years later on December 9, 2012 I went to the Istanbul concert with my ex-wife.

Thanks Andy Timons.. From Indonesia
Phenomenal playing as always - as an Aussie, im going to cry on behalf of Dan....
Indeed, yet with a stiff upper lip in dignity.
AUSSIE X3 OI OI OI!!
You can't make something perfect better...at least, you can't if you're not Andy Timmons ❤
Best in class! Just brilliant!
Obrigado Andy por tocar essa magnífica performance em 97, agora em 2023..
Wow... Absolutely awesome.. Most beautiful instrumental ive ever heard ❤
Absolutely incredible
The best of the World! Love You AT!
I keep running to really great guitarists that I had not heard before! Andy Timmons is now on my RADAR!
When i saw first Andy with Cry For You on Ibanez Anniversary Concert it did blow my mind with emotion ! He's guitar tone, dual delay settings and pedal and jsx+ unbeliavble.. A true legend who managed to get Ibanez to make a professional strat for the first time
Best of the best right there! Six string slinger from the heavens!
well, you are hurting our hearts over and over.... what a feel man! its impossible not to admire to Andy Timmons!
The only guy I know of who has tone that Eric Johnson in envious of. Legend!
Amazing song!!One of the best guitar instrumentals ever!!!
GOD Bless You 🎸🎸🎸
The moment the tune reached my ears, a reflex action took over my fingers as they instinctively reached for the guitar and began strumming away.This is how my journey with the guitar began.
Eric Johnson couldn’t of composed anything better ❤Andy your a true master ❤
Still one of my most favourite! life changing jams!
From Andy "Himself", this masterpiece can melt anything, turn a metal like a candle.
para mim o melhor guitarrista!!!sou super fã do trabalho dele.. apareceu no meu you tube faz tres anos isso!! ate entao so conhecia o paul gilbert !! mas voce Andy pra mim é o melhor !! parabens e obrigado
One of the finest guitar pieces ever written.
Guitarrista fantástico!
Obrigado Andy
Somos privilegiados por poder ouvir as suas musicas
That original ‘97 performance is one of the greatest of all time. Now it’s updated with Andy’s current tone. This is something I have been dreaming about for a long time. Finally all taht brilliant playing has the tone it deserves.
Best Version ever!!!!!
Besides the late Gary Moore no other guitarist has moved me so emotionally ! Your a very special and rare musician
You should try Andrew Latimer from Camel or Pat Metheny, or Larry Carlton for emotional solos. Et Bien Sur D. Gilmour
That legendary 1997 performace has a magical something to it that even the legend himself cannot reproduce 20+ years later. Not saying this is not an amazing performance, but the 1997 version will always be Andy's magnum opus!
This is my most favorite instrumental ever! You are unbelievable ❤
Andy has a tone like no other. Second to none in phrasing and tone.
Andy's song is the best!! ️
I got to know Andy from this song.
I was moved to tears.
It's the best!
my favorite guitarist.
I think I'm going to sleep after listening to it tonight.
This song was so soothing for my soul when my father passed away in 2014. Thank you Andy for your music .so inspiring and healing !
This is his most popular/most requested song... and you can tell he's played in a million times... he's a master!!
The best of the best! Amazing!
i have listen and play this song countless times.....but still for me, one of most emotional instrumental ever written and played on guitar......
The 1997 performance truly was something special. He transcended the matrix that night. Still, this one gives me the chills.
the lines the phrasing the dynamics the mastery all the while keeping it so musical and emotional. One of my favourite songs ever.
The heart of a giant in a normal human being. A lot of players have great technique but not too many have the huge heart and feeling that he have. Music is about that. Feel and transmit to others your feelings. Art at it's best.

This is the epitome of guitar, there is no higher than this possible. Expression, oneness, no equal.
Dude, so sweet, nobody plays this like Andy Timmons in terms of phrasing and the song speaking to you the emotion.
He whom God Himself has blessed is called Andy Timmons, the heart and soul guitarist.
Es posiblemente, el tema instrumental más bonito de la historia de la guitarra eléctrica. Es absolutamente sublime. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
This is the song that got me hooked on Andy..... Simply beautiful...
still amazing as the first time
I really ❤ it.. thank you for inspiring many guitarist mr.Andy timmons..
Greetings from malaysia, GOD bless..
it's very emotional for a guitarist to play every note of this song!!! ❤️🔥
Extreme talent beyond measure- Truly one of the greatest!
Andy , you need to talk about the live performance....how you felt on that day.
Andy plays the music I hear in my head but don't stand a chance at conveying through the instrument like he does. What a wonderful talent.
The Best! ❤😊
I really like this musical instrument..the soul of the instrument is very good
I'm from Russia, I listened to this melody a million times, and I want to listen again and again! guitar melodic god! Bravo👏👏👏👏👏
