Andy.....Mr. Timmons, that's an exceptionally well put together and tasteful movement....you have my Deepest Respect....I asked Tim to thank you next time you talked,...please allow me to thank you personally....I have enjoyed your work for years...Best Wishes...
Andy! Been a fan of yours for years and when I first heard that piece you did on TPS that Tim talks about in this video I was floored, and pretty much had the same reaction as Dan, and instantly had to pause and rewind that part until I had it learned. It's the best "lullaby" guitar music I've ever heard. My family loves it.
When I was 16 (54 now) Andy was at the University of Miami and he was my guitar teacher and helped me get into Berklee College of Music. Even way back then the chops, musicality, touch, passion, humility, THE EVERYTHING- was a revelation. It was so impressive I have tried and wanted to emulate that ever since and he defined it. So thankful for that time, and love the pedal.
What a cool experience to study with him there in Coral Gables - A great jazz program to study in. When I auditioned in 84' on Bass they did everything they could to help people get into their Masters in Jazz Performance.
Not only is Andy Timmons a great guitarist, but he's also a great person. I reached out to him to thank him for a backing track he produced and he immediately replied to me. Such a nice guy. So humble to be such a great talent. Like another we all know. :) 🏆
Love the fretboard view while Andy was playing. Your reactions are priceless, and honestly your tone and the emotion in your playing during your breakdown/teaching us the song... moved me more than the original.
@@timpierceguitar I agree with Craiger on the fretboard view! Even I could follow that lol! Are these fretboard views on your masterclass videos as well?
That B section (1:47) is basically just the ending of 'No Other Love' by Jo Stafford. The part that goes "...let no other love know the wonder of your spell." And that makes perfect sense, since Andy has reportedly called this song his tribute to Chopin, and Chopin is the one who wrote the piece that 'No Other Love' was based on - Étude No. 3 in E, Op. 10. I think that's partly why it feels like this song was just "always there" (0:29). Granted, Andy adds a lot of his own tasty bits to it! Cheers.
Wow, love the real time guitar view! Great to actually see what’s being played. Amazing pedal too. And wow, when you’re so good at guitar you make people cry, that’s amazing
@@timpierceguitar Great demo Tim! I imagine that on this clip the pedal is plugged into the effects loop. Is it also effective ‘in front of the amp’? Thanks a lot Eric
Andy's music has always had a "feel" quality to it that is unmatched in its' uniqueness, IMHO. And kudos to you, Tim, for recognizing him: I love how you remain in awe of great players, even though you are one of them, as well.
I never once forgot how good Andy is, and what an influence he is to me and so many others. But, this piece of music on TPS was the stake in the ground to remind me “Oh yeh, that’s why I love the guy” I must’ve rewatched this entire episode half a dozen times, and that specific clip north of 30. Hauntingly beautiful.
Well, I have a TC Flashback 2. And I made that wonderfull Andy Timmons double delay preset myself. Delay 1 at 500ms, delay 2 at 375 ms. By mapping both delay times under the "Delay" knob in a clever way, you can change both delay times while remaining that magic ratio of 500:375!
I was zoned in to that BEAUTIFUL melody - i too, was in tears by the time AT finished... just incredible - nothing like a emotionally-moving melody. Great job in breaking it down, TP!!!!
Tim, I've been watching your channel for quite some time, You always bring the best of guitarists and their techniques to your videos. Man Andy can make tears drop, that's truly one of the best heart wrenching guitar melodies I've heard in a long time! Thank You both!
Just heartbreakingly beautiful. Incredible. Makes me happy I've devoted nearly all my life to learning this beautiful instrument of expression - and have so much more to learn!
Andy always credits seeing Jeff Beck live as a major inflection point in his music career. Not surprising that some of Jeff’s style comes through. What a player!
I got to see him live for the first time last November just before he passed. I'm so glad I went to that show and even at 78 years old he put on an incredible show and never missed a single note.
I just bought the Halo pedal! I found the clip Tim is referring to last week and was just blown away by both Andy's playing and the sound that pedal makes. So awesome to see Tim break that bit down, too.
It seems like Andy is one of those overlooked giants. I’ve listened to him since Danger Danger but when I mention him to others I get blank stares. Thanks for covering this.
I’ve heard his name many times over the years, and come across ‘his’ pedal everywhere. I’ve meant to check him out for a long time now, but for some reason have not gotten around to it yet. I’m a fairly regular viewer of TPS also, but haven’t seen the episode mentioned here. Guess what suddenly became the next video on my watchlist today! Man, I get why his name is everywhere now, and I will DEFINATLY check out his channel and of course his music now! Also, thank you so much Tim for sharing this with us! Love your channel and your amazing work! Shout out to my two other favourites over at TPS, and to Mr.Timmons who I’m shure will also find his way in to my favourites quite rapidly! ❤
I bought a Kemper stage and sold all my pedals (but not my tube amps), going all in about three years ago. I Love, Love, Love the Kemper. The Halo is the first pedal since that's peaked my interest. Now I'm thinking of building a small board with a couple of boost/OD pedals, a Styrmon Iridium and a Halo ;) Andy has been one of my tip top favorite players for decades, and he keeps getting better.
WOW!!! Seeing Dan moved to tears to the point of having to leave put me over the edge too. That's was a beautiful piece. It would not have surprised me in the least to know that Andy pulled that out of his hat right as the tape was rolling. Very nice tutorial Tim.
Great video Tim! Andy is such a gift. I’ve been fortunate to have met him a couple times at NAMM, and he’s always so gracious and kind. I saw him perform Ave Maria live back in 2020 and I cried too.
I got this pedal not to recreate anyone…but just to help me create. I am not a great guitar player even though I’ve been playing for over 40 years. What this did was unlock my sonic creativity. Of the 20+ delay pedals I’ve owned over the years…this is the first one that opened my heart and has lead me to build amazing guitar parts. Love it!
Great performances, both. The first has such nice feel. The second shred one is amazing too. Those bends at 4:20 for example. The first performance reminded me a lot of Marty Friedman Lovesorrow. Not quite the same but some parts have similar touch and feel.
Bought it as soon as I heard it from Keeley site. Use every gig and extremely versatile once you get your head around it. Thanks Tim always great and as always, JD
Very beautiful. I'm hearing bits of Moon River - the "up around the bend" bit. He did well not to get dragged into just repeating that, but took it in different directions.
Beautiful video, Tim! Andy Timmons plays guitar with inimitable elegance and eloquence. He always seems to know what to say, when to say to it and how to say it. His tone is always perfect for his compositions which adds much to the listening experience. You don't listen to his playing with only your ears. When he wants to capture all of you, he can and does. Does Andy play the music or does the music play through Andy? His music is a gift for us all.
It's one of the most, if not - the most, emotional playing and beautiful musical genius... ever played by Andy, and wonderfully explained and demonstrated by Tim - Ever! Thank you Guys... Music, great music, is an Experience... Yes it is!
Got goosebumps from your description of Timmons' piece - that's exactly how I've always described Jim Keltner's drum parts - like a musician would unearth some timeless naturally occurring formation, and built a song around it. (granted, "timeless" may not be the best adjective for a drummer... ). All that to say, I know what you mean, and it was a great piece of music. And great pedal. And great video, thanks!
Andy’s humanity, humility , and kindness bleed through his playing. The way he consoles Dan ! Man that is the greatest fucking thing I’ve ever seen on TPS. ❤
There are many words to describe what I just heard! Beautiful, sublime, amazing, intuitive yet surprising! A sonic journey, of the perfect chord progression , climbing, and descending! a work of art! THANK YOU!
I’ve head this pedal for a while now. It has replaced pretty much all of my delay, pedals and some of my reverbs as well. Love Anys sound and would highly recommend this pedal
Wow, that was a piece of music truly worthy of being called a composition. Bravo Mr. Timmons. Also, lovely pedal and your rendition of the Hysteria clean guitar part was really nice to hear using it, Tim. I’ve always loved that riff - I remember learning it at 14 and thinking it was dreamy.
I watched and met Andy a couple different times, his tonality and feel are unmatched, and he is a very humble person as well. Check out his Sargeant Pepper album re-creation.
When Andy starts to play I get choked up. When he hits that spot at the 1:00 minute mark, I start to cry. Every. Freaking. Time. It’s glorious. Your description of him discovering that piece was perfect. So simple but so beautiful. ❤ I want to become a decent guitar player so I can go back to Guitar Sanctuary and plug in Andy’s signature Ibanez and that incredible pedal (and be able to justify taking them home). 😂
God I’ve must have watched this videos 10 times now. Been on the hunt for a good overdrive pedal and for some reason this video popped up. I’m so very happy it did, such a beautiful piece from Andy and you Tim. Lost for words so simply thank you and happy early new year.
Andy is just at that top level I aspire to. He’s so versatile: he can move quickly, he can be bluesy, but he’s always melodic and tasteful. In my mind Andy is cut from the same cloth as Joe Satriani, Robben Ford, Jeff Beck, and more, all while having his own voice. What a beautiful piece of music!
Andy is one of the best out there and it’s great to see Tim recognize him. I got to treat my youngest daughter to one of his performances at the iridium in New York City three or four years ago and she loved it!
Tim, I agree with you 100%. Andy performs excellent note placement along with an absolutely beautiful melody that creates a warm, and sentimental feeling. His rendition reminds me of Mark Loeffler from Dire Straits song "Fade To Black". Haunting and beautiful at the same time!! Excellent!!
Check out the opening phrase of Willie Nelson's solo in Pancho and Lefty. It's very much the same as the major penta leaving out the 6. This is a wonderful lesson! I hope I get to meet you someday Tim!
Very nice from all concerned, particularly the man who had to leave the room and compose himself. Creative music generously received and appreciated by a great and fatherly maestro, whose impulse is to hand it on. When your musical instinct is to create and share, and to lift everyone, whether writer, player, student or innocent bystander... then we're in a good place. All hail Tim and Andy - these are the good guys, and they're not alone. Most real, genuine musicians are aware of the elevating effects of music - that's what they get from it, and that's what they want us all to experience, and to have in our lives.
Andy does that to me too. Only person to be able to pull tears from me with totally unfamiliar music, zero nostalgic attachment. Pure unadulterated emotion perfectly conveyed.
That was a GREAT episode! I had not seen the "That Pedal Show" episode with Andy and I too was moved with his performance, but was so beautiful! Thank you for breaking it down for us, now I have to go work on playing that!!!
Great video & showcases Andy Timmons' magic perfectly.....I'm "all in" to his creativity and a big fan all over again!!! INCREDIBLE pedal and the AT Halo setting is way more present playing with it vs. demos in youtube videos...I'm guessing it may be the compression in producing the videos. I use it mono and it is incredible. It is magic for some rockabilly slapback or adding rich "doubling" texture on both tape and analog for soloing. For what it delivers vs. the offerings from some of the most popular delay machines on the market, it is actually a bargain at the current price. I have the red one!!!
This piece is one of those elegant whispers from the cosmos that remind me why I ever attempted to be more than a complete hack on the guitar in the first place. As much as it’s Andy’s work, the phrasing and spacing also evokes David Gilmour for me. I can understand why the TPS guys were crying. ❤
Andy has been a massive influence on me, I love his tone and his phrasing is like no other...I've been using the Mesa Lonestar ever since I discovered him years ago.
Thank you for posting again. I thought I lost my mind when it disappeared on Sunday. When it's good stuff please don't post and take down anymore🙂. This is awesome
Thank you sir. Not much of a player myself, but you deconstruct so much of what I am interested in. The mind process that great talents are able to put into their fingers that coax metal strings into music that worms its way into our minds and will not let go.
Wow Tim Pierce! Very cool of you to demonstrate what you liked about Andy Timmons, the effects (pedal) and your breakdown of the tune performed along with the sample for the pedal. Love the fretboard view - Killer! Andy is my favorite guitar Virtuoso. His harmonies, tone and applied techniques are combined to bring a soundscape uniquely Timmons. Like many Timmons compositions very moving. Many thanks!
So glad you did this! When I saw that TPS video and was floored by how beautiful that song was. I searched for the track and couldn't find it. Thanks for teaching it! (And thanks Andy for writing it)
We all know the perfect tone doesn't exist and we all know that Andy Timmons has it. He did a video on the BB Preamp a couple years ago titled '2017 Limited Edition Andy Timmons Signature BBP-AT by Xotic Effects'. I think the way he plays and noodles in that video is some of the most beautiful and inspiring playing I have heard in my entire life. I understand the tears in that Halo vid, this man has the magic touch.
After all of these years, Tim, I just noticed that "we' all have the same wedding band. Just 1 more great thing to know. Thank you again for this and all you do - and for all the music I have loved!
Tim I remember watching Andy's spontaneous song on that pedal show and caught the first broadcast of it. I completely understand Dan's reaction. I don't feel Andy Timmon's gets his due accolades as a virtuoso incredible guitarist. No one can copy his energy and style of playing. The Halo truly makes that type of playing even more expressive. Thanks for bringing memory back.
5 Stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I nabbed a Halo as soon as it was avaliable. This Timmons performance about made me cry too... because I saw it when they first released the video!
Whoa, that was amazing! ...the original performance -and- your breakdown. I've really never listened to much of his solo stuff before, but WOW, thanks for turning me on to him!
I like to think I was the originator of this quote because I've said it so much, but I'm sure I'm not. "Andy Timmons bleeds melody." It's such a gift he has to take melodies to places we can only dream of.
andy timmons , to me, since he went solo, has always seemed the perfect successor to JB. that said... "oh the sun was in their eyes"... the first part you said you loved... i just happened to be listening to 'theme for an imaginary western' earlier...yeah...i'm old...but profound is profound.
I used to work with a divorced woman who over time had gained a lot of weight, become bitter, was not very nice (or so many thought). I befriended her and i found out she had a love for music. Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer etc. I felt what was missing was emotion in her music. I bought her a couple of Andy Timmons CDs and I saw her slowly becoming more gentle. I would talk to her for 15-20 minutes about Andy. She Would glow about his playing and her interpretation of his most melodic tunes. A couple of times I bought her and her son concert tickets to see Andy in Dallas (where we both lived and worked). She passed away 4 years ago. At her funeral, her sons thanked me for being her friend. And they thanked me for introducing her to Andy because she had in turn, turned her two boys into Andy Timmons fan. So Andy to me will always be the connector to Chris. She had a sad life but I know his music brought her happiness.
If your are ever confused about Andy Timmons's guitar ability, just buy any of his albums. They're all freaking masterpieces of guitar melody and fantastic soloing. He's a gem amongst the gravel. He was also the music behind our sweet Aussie girl Olivia and for that we are forever grateful down here in Oz.
That show was incredible. It really stuck in my mind. The pedal is destined to be one of the best, and he talked about how he developed it. The local music store sells quite a few of them. He is such an asset to the guitar world. Nobody like him. BTW, your studio looks awesome. Great episode.
Tim Pierce!!!! I'm blown away by your kind words and your love of the Halo ❤🔥❤ Such an honor coming from you...I've been a huge fan for years!!
That is truly a very moving peice of music Mr. Timmons, l understand why Dan got emotional. It got me too.
Hat's off to you sir.
That piece deserves every ounce of praise.. it's one of the most beautiful I've ever heard. Does it have a name? Is there somewhere we can get it?
Andy.....Mr. Timmons, that's an exceptionally well put together and tasteful movement....you have my Deepest Respect....I asked Tim to thank you next time you talked,...please allow me to thank you personally....I have enjoyed your work for years...Best Wishes...
Andy! Been a fan of yours for years and when I first heard that piece you did on TPS that Tim talks about in this video I was floored, and pretty much had the same reaction as Dan, and instantly had to pause and rewind that part until I had it learned. It's the best "lullaby" guitar music I've ever heard. My family loves it.
Andy... thank you for your work. love u
When I was 16 (54 now) Andy was at the University of Miami and he was my guitar teacher and helped me get into Berklee College of Music. Even way back then the chops, musicality, touch, passion, humility, THE EVERYTHING- was a revelation. It was so impressive I have tried and wanted to emulate that ever since and he defined it. So thankful for that time, and love the pedal.
What a killer experience! He is really an inspiration in every way. What a humble man talented man.
Cool! I had a similar experience, when I attended AIM/MI Jimmy Herring was my instructor. Time flies! ✌️
What a cool experience to study with him there in Coral Gables - A great jazz program to study in. When I auditioned in 84' on Bass they did everything they could to help people get into their Masters in Jazz Performance.
Not only is Andy Timmons a great guitarist, but he's also a great person. I reached out to him to thank him for a backing track he produced and he immediately replied to me. Such a nice guy. So humble to be such a great talent. Like another we all know. :) 🏆

Oh my God. That is one of the most beautiful pieces I have heard in a long time. Thxs. Both of you.
Andy has so much feel, lots of space and emotion, his tone is stunningly good. One of my all time favorite guitarists. Heck of a nice guy too.
Couldn't agree more!
Melody too
That B section (1:47) is basically just the ending of 'No Other Love' by Jo Stafford. The part that goes "...let no other love know the wonder of your spell."

It also occurs in Jeff Beck's 'Where Were You'.
@@innocentoctave You're right - a few notes of it. Good ear.
thank you, was looking for this comment, Chopin jumped out at me while listening but couldnt remember which piece
Great catch!
Nice, I also hear it as the B part in Rockin Back Inside Your Heart by Angelo Badalamenti, David Lynch, and Julee Cruise
Wow, love the real time guitar view! Great to actually see what’s being played. Amazing pedal too. And wow, when you’re so good at guitar you make people cry, that’s amazing
Glad you enjoyed it
People cry quite often when I play but it's probably for another reason 😂
@@cmet8280 😂😂😂😂
@@timpierceguitar That visualisation is very cool! Did you use any particular visualisation program or edited note by note?
Seriously, this is great. Though my brain would prefer it horizontal :)
One of the most beautiful pieces of guitar, ever. Andy Timmons…the touch and feel…
Couldn't agree more!
@@timpierceguitar Great demo Tim!
I imagine that on this clip the pedal is plugged into the effects loop. Is it also effective ‘in front of the amp’? Thanks a lot Eric
I flat out love it when great music brings a tear. That’s the whole point.
That song is called “Here Lies the Heart”. Sounds like it’ll be on an upcoming album 😊
He called it his tribute to Chopin. Love that song.
I found a video in which he calls the piece "here rests the heart". Not that it matters.
It's out now as a single.
@@Jonwsm Thanks for the heads up Jon! Just got it! 👍
I just love Andy's playing. I don't think there's anyone that makes me as emotional as he does with his playing.
Me too.
Andy's music has always had a "feel" quality to it that is unmatched in its' uniqueness, IMHO. And kudos to you, Tim, for recognizing him: I love how you remain in awe of great players, even though you are one of them, as well.
A king expressing his impressions and feelings about another king. My respect. Awesome pedal, super balanced and subtle yet with so many sound colors.
I never once forgot how good Andy is, and what an influence he is to me and so many others. But, this piece of music on TPS was the stake in the ground to remind me “Oh yeh, that’s why I love the guy” I must’ve rewatched this entire episode half a dozen times, and that specific clip north of 30.

this piece of music brought tears to my eyes when i first encountered it on Mick and Dan's channel. total mirror neurons in action. thanks, Tim!
Can you believe how good Andy and Tim both are? Mindblowing talent and journeymen up there with the very greatest…🎸🎶🏴
Just heartbreakingly beautiful. Incredible. Makes me happy I've devoted nearly all my life to learning this beautiful instrument of expression - and have so much more to learn!
Wow, thank you!
Thank you for that! Andy doesn't get near the credit that I think he deserves as a guitar play. And he's a great person as well!!
Andy always credits seeing Jeff Beck live as a major inflection point in his music career. Not surprising that some of Jeff’s style comes through. What a player!
There’s a Mark Knopfler feel to his guitar playing and melody as well. Not a bad combo IMHO…
I got to see him live for the first time last November just before he passed. I'm so glad I went to that show and even at 78 years old he put on an incredible show and never missed a single note.
The piece is somewhat similar to Mark Knopfler's Last Exit to Brooklyn soundtrack

Check out the opening phrase of Willie Nelson's solo in Pancho and Lefty. It's very much the same as the major penta leaving out the 6. This is a wonderful lesson! I hope I get to meet you someday Tim!
Awesome sounding pedal. Great work on this one. Was that Def Leppard’s “Hysteria” I heard?
Goodlord that was beautiful. That solo is one of the most musical passages I've heard in a longtime. Thanks Tim/Andy....
Very nice from all concerned, particularly the man who had to leave the room and compose himself.
Creative music generously received and appreciated by a great and fatherly maestro, whose impulse is to hand it on.
When your musical instinct is to create and share, and to lift everyone, whether writer, player, student or innocent bystander... then we're in a good place.
All hail Tim and Andy - these are the good guys, and they're not alone. Most real, genuine musicians are aware of the elevating effects of music - that's what they get from it, and that's what they want us all to experience, and to have in our lives.
Andy does that to me too. Only person to be able to pull tears from me with totally unfamiliar music, zero nostalgic attachment. Pure unadulterated emotion perfectly conveyed.
That was a GREAT episode! I had not seen the "That Pedal Show" episode with Andy and I too was moved with his performance, but was so beautiful! Thank you for breaking it down for us, now I have to go work on playing that!!!
Great video & showcases Andy Timmons' magic perfectly.....I'm "all in" to his creativity and a big fan all over again!!! INCREDIBLE pedal and the AT Halo setting is way more present playing with it vs. demos in youtube videos...I'm guessing it may be the compression in producing the videos. I use it mono and it is incredible. It is magic for some rockabilly slapback or adding rich "doubling" texture on both tape and analog for soloing. For what it delivers vs. the offerings from some of the most popular delay machines on the market, it is actually a bargain at the current price. I have the red one!!!
Tim, this is an awesome vid !!! Great walk thru of Andy's song.. just incredible playing. Thanks for sharing this!
'CRY FOR YOU'...LIVE...BEST EMO
GUITAR PERFORMANCE I'VE EVER HEARD!
EVERY NOTE IS AUTOGRAPHED WITH
GORGEOUS NUANCE.
This piece is one of those elegant whispers from the cosmos that remind me why I ever attempted to be more than a complete hack on the guitar in the first place. As much as it’s Andy’s work, the phrasing and spacing also evokes David Gilmour for me. I can understand why the TPS guys were crying. ❤
Andy has been a massive influence on me, I love his tone and his phrasing is like no other...I've been using the Mesa Lonestar ever since I discovered him years ago.
Glad to see that you are into this. I think its cool to remember guitar performances.
Thank you for posting again. I thought I lost my mind when it disappeared on Sunday. When it's good stuff please don't post and take down anymore🙂. This is awesome
Thank you sir. Not much of a player myself, but you deconstruct so much of what I am interested in. The mind process that great talents are able to put into their fingers that coax metal strings into music that worms its way into our minds and will not let go.
Wow Tim Pierce! Very cool of you to demonstrate what you liked about Andy Timmons, the effects (pedal) and your breakdown of the tune performed along with the sample for the pedal. Love the fretboard view - Killer! Andy is my favorite guitar Virtuoso. His harmonies, tone and applied techniques are combined to bring a soundscape uniquely Timmons. Like many Timmons compositions very moving. Many thanks!
The Halo is on the top of my to get list now, such a lovely effect!
So glad you did this! When I saw that TPS video and was floored by how beautiful that song was. I searched for the track and couldn't find it. Thanks for teaching it! (And thanks Andy for writing it)
We all know the perfect tone doesn't exist and we all know that Andy Timmons has it. He did a video on the BB Preamp a couple years ago titled '2017 Limited Edition Andy Timmons Signature BBP-AT by Xotic Effects'. I think the way he plays and noodles in that video is some of the most beautiful and inspiring playing I have heard in my entire life. I understand the tears in that Halo vid, this man has the magic touch.
Great video. Beautiful playing, sound and pedal.
Andrew thank you so much you will have to do a video with Andy for your channel someday! Love your work man
Beautiful ! So nice you bought this to our attention. Thanks Tim.
Tim, my dude, your tone, dear sir, is, most certainly, SPECTACULAR
Are you playing the intro to Def Leppard's "Hysteria" in this clip? It sounds just like it to my ears! 🙂
Yes I am :-)
Andy Timmons just blew me away. What a phenomenal player and an even more impressive composer.
Love your channel, I have learnt a lot, thank you, loving the hysteria
Made me cry, too! Total tribute to Beck.
After all of these years, Tim, I just noticed that "we' all have the same wedding band. Just 1 more great thing to know. Thank you again for this and all you do - and for all the music I have loved!
Tim I remember watching Andy's spontaneous song on that pedal show and caught the first broadcast of it. I completely understand Dan's reaction. I don't feel Andy Timmon's gets his due accolades as a virtuoso incredible guitarist. No one can copy his energy and style of playing. The Halo truly makes that type of playing even more expressive. Thanks for bringing memory back.
5 Stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I nabbed a Halo as soon as it was avaliable. This Timmons performance about made me cry too... because I saw it when they first released the video!
I love that you dropped some Hysteria in there! Absolutely perfect for that preset
Whoa, that was amazing! ...the original performance -and- your breakdown. I've really never listened to much of his solo stuff before, but WOW, thanks for turning me on to him!
truly touches my heart. Thanks Andy, Thanks Tim
I like to think I was the originator of this quote because I've said it so much, but I'm sure I'm not. "Andy Timmons bleeds melody." It's such a gift he has to take melodies to places we can only dream of.
It was awesome when I saw it on That Pedal Show, and it's awesome that you broke it down for us. Thank-you!
Showing the tab was amazing.
Simply wonderful... I love these sounds. Andy is a "true guitar player", and his own man.... and Tim you too are very verygood .
andy timmons , to me, since he went solo,
has always seemed the perfect successor to JB.
that said...
"oh the sun was in their eyes"...
the first part you said you loved...
i just happened to be listening to
'theme for an imaginary western'
earlier...yeah...i'm old...but profound is profound.
I used to work with a divorced woman who over time had gained a lot of weight, become bitter, was not very nice (or so many thought). I befriended her and i found out she had a love for music. Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer etc. I felt what was missing was emotion in her music. I bought her a couple of Andy Timmons CDs and I saw her slowly becoming more gentle. I would talk to her for 15-20 minutes about Andy. She
Would glow about his playing and her interpretation of his most melodic tunes. A couple of times I bought her and her son concert tickets to see Andy in Dallas (where we both lived and worked).
She passed away 4 years ago. At her funeral, her sons thanked me for being her friend. And they thanked me for introducing her to Andy because she had in turn, turned her two boys into Andy Timmons fan.
So Andy to me will always be the connector to Chris. She had a sad life but I know his music brought her happiness.
If your are ever confused about Andy Timmons's guitar ability, just buy any of his albums. They're all freaking masterpieces of guitar melody and fantastic soloing. He's a gem amongst the gravel. He was also the music behind our sweet Aussie girl Olivia and for that we are forever grateful down here in Oz.
That show was incredible. It really stuck in my mind. The pedal is destined to be one of the best, and he talked about how he developed it. The local music store sells quite a few of them. He is such an asset to the guitar world. Nobody like him. BTW, your studio looks awesome. Great episode.
Andy Timmons has such great note selection and phrasing, and killer tone!
