    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.

    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.

    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 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!"

    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.

    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.

    Andy, your mastery of melody and phrasing is a beautiful thing. Amazing chops, in service of the song.

    Dude, so sweet, nobody plays this like Andy Timmons in terms of phrasing and the song speaking to you the emotion.

    What gets me about watching this (other than how brilliant it is) is how all the parts played are actually pretty easy for a competent guitarist and, more to the point, that the mastery of being a great player is to be able to weave it all together so seamlessly and lyrically. Basically, just because you can play the main riff from Neon or the solo from Get the Funk Out, it doesn’t necessarily make you a great player. It’s why learning entire songs (all the parts, not just the main riff or solo) is essential when you’re starting out. Took me a long time to figure this out. This guy is a class act. He totally surrenders to the song, without ego. Great player!
