@@Thesongstaysthesame One of the things that I've learned is that if you are unable to surround yourself in person with people who know more than you, then actively seeking them out is the next best option, and having this here is an invaluable resource. One of the best ways that I have found to learn to get better at anything is to really listen to what those who know what they are talking about and have experience have to say. The amount of small bits of insight that can be used later on is far more valuable than people think.

I went to Fairport and Ithaca too, then found out Rick the Sicilian came from the greater Rochester area (gee ya think?) and attended the same schools, maybe 4 years behind me. Mentioned it to some Fairport friends recently, and they already knew all about Rick. I had a few bands in Rochester. I also was at Shorts Bar in Fairport one night, and who was sitting there all alone at the bar but Lou Gramm? Had a nice conversation with him. One more of many rock stars I seem to run across every so often. Foreigner played a local party in Rancho Santa Margarita here in Southern California, that I got invited to, so I wore a "House of Guitars" T-shirt and after the concert we ended up hangin' with the band after they saw my T-shirt and said "Hey are you from Rochester?" When I see these videos from Rick and Tim I feel privileged to be let inside, behind the curtain, to see how the sausage is made! Very inspiring. :)

It seems to me that session players are "composing on demand". The implication is that the only reason they don't "deserve" co-writer status, is that they are performing "work done for hire". In other circumstances, their names should be included on the copyright, and they should receive royalty payments.

I was just talking to an old music buddy about some of the topics you're discussing. I've been playing guitar 49 years. The other day I was in my studio just staring at my guitars as if I was at and Art gallery. The same guitars that I've had for years and years yet I stare at them as if it was the first time I've seen them. I have the same amount of enthusiasm and love today about playing and guitars as I did when the lightning bolt first went through me as a young teen. That Penguin Tim is holding is giving me heart palpitations. Great Interview.

Rick, these conversations with Tim go way beyond music. Asking why you still want this gear even though you’re not going to use it for a session is something we can all relate to: a nagging “want” that we suspect is a distraction from more important things but that we just can’t shake. I also think that you’ve established so much cred you could produce whatever and however you want now. I don’t know the specifics of the system you were beholden to as a producer, but I’d think new artists would be beating down your door for the chance to work with you. Finally, with regard to making videos on jazz, rock, classical, etc. your enthusiasm for all things music is why I watch. Don’t overthink it. Whatever your excited about is the only relevant criteria. 👍

Tim has my favorite chanel. I grew up seeing his name on records I loved, and instantly recognized the name when it came out on KZfaq. But I'd like to point out one thing: Rick constantly points out that songs today have 5 writers. Here you can hear Tim explaining session musicians ACTUALLY came up with their parts, but they weren't credited as a writer. Today that changed, and it should be championed. If you write one part, you're a writer on the song AND you get publishing rights on it.

I am now progressing much faster becouse of it, but boy it's hard to accept my shortcomings sometimes.

People, take note -- everything in this conversation is pure gold. The nuance in timing, particularly how far back into the pocket everyone played, that Tim is talking about is, to me, the best-kept secret to understanding three decades of pop recording brilliance. Muscle Shoals, Nashville, LA, Memphis, Detroit, they all had this quality and it isn't talked about enough. The pocket shift forward that Tim talks about is one of the tragic developments in music and one of the subtle, profound reasons music doesn't sound as good these days even though the recording technology and technique of the players are higher than they've ever been. We really lost the warmth, feel...the humanity of pop music when the shift to the grid happened.

This is so interesting. When I used to gig that’s exactly what I discovered. Used to love being just a little behind then rush a little to end it where it needed or not rush it, and it sounded so good most of the time. But this could be very tricky and it’s a form of secret art. I didn’t know it was actually a concept once. Now I release it came to me unconsciously from all those records.

I really hope Rick makes a vid about this. There are many subtle things about music that make a big difference to how we relate to it.

I watched that section of the video a few times and I thought maybe they were referring to how forward/back the drums sound in the mix, but I'm guessing it refers to playing right on beat?

He would come to my small sessions, independent artists with a super pro attitude. Pro sound and always in the pocket. He would go as “ play me the song as I’m setting up my guitar,...” then he would say again “..let me play the tune one way through it..” then 2 more tracks and ta-ta !!!...job done. The problem....then I couldn’t select the lines ....all of them where pieces of art ....literally....a shame not letting them sound in the mix !!! I miss you Ramon...we all !!!!!!!!!

Amazing interview, love the way Tim talks about playing with drummers and how they “feel” things differently

Tim is so good at identifying priorities. Studio discipline can make the difference between the musicians truly “playing together” vs. everyone “playing at the same time.”

Rick, what you do is invaluable to musicians but wildly fascinating to those who just find it cool to learn about these things. you hit on all the important nuances about what people need to see and hear. Explaining what makes an artist an artist, and how they are unique like Sting for an example. Very illuminating. I appreciate it very much.

Thank you for this interview which shows that skilled labor in any field of work is at first glance appears to look easy, but behind the talent is using as little commotion as needed. Like a professional dancer there is no wasted motion or movement. A good musician follows the same rules as keeping a good knife sharp which is to hone and sharpen it often.

Seeing Tim sit amongst his sea of knobs at his fingertips, all funnelling into ProTools, is such an awesome old school/new school vibe.

Tim's guitar work on Rick Springfield's 'Living in Oz' is still some of my most favourite and most inspirational guitar playing over the past 40 years. It really has stood the test of time.

So out of all guitar music ever made, Rick Springfield's album you consider as good as it gets? Really?
@Tyrannosaurine 8 ай бұрын
@@Acujeremy 1. “some of my most favorite” does not mean “as good as it gets”. Did you read “some of my most favorite” and think that “some” meant “as”, “of” meant “good”, “my” meant “as”, “Most” meant “it” and “favorite” meant “gets”? That’s an odd way to read it. Some of my favorite food is pizza, but I wouldn’t call it the best food ever made. Is it an issue with actual reading? Is it a reading comprehension problem? Are you unable to understand it conceptually? 2. The guitarist wasn’t Rick Springfield, it was Tim Pierce. Is Tim Pierce not a good enough guitarist for you? 3. So your opinion about this particular album is valid, but the OP’s opinion is not? I really don’t understand. Please help me understand.

This is great stuff; such a wealth of information and encouragement you guys individually offer, and letting us in on a conversation like this is just an amazing gift for people like me who love hearing all this stuff from the point of view of two seasoned pros, and the fact that it's two super chill dudes makes it a real pleasure to soak up all the knowledge; kudos on a great show! 🤘

This is seriously next-level stuff. I would've started this video out by saying to just practice first. You don't know what playing ahead of the beat or behind the beat means until you can play on the beat. I didn't realize I could play in the pocket until an esteemed musician friend gave me that compliment. I'm happy to have made it to that milestone, but I still have no idea how to play ahead or behind the beat. It took me 20 years to just play ON THE BEAT. When I watch a lot of video tutorials on "how to play song X", I'm always impressed by the ear training and the fingering. But I can almost always hear the lack of solid timing. I often hear them playing ahead of the beat I think, because they are not relaxed and maybe over-anxious. Anyway, I don't even know what my damn point was. Just keep practicing. And maybe Rick can give us a video about how to play ahead of or behind the beat.

Right on dude. I'm a guitarist and and we have similar reaching milestones too. It feels great reaching them.

I’m an amateur guitarist of many years and STILL play ahead of the beat. I only realise afterwards when I listen back in horror.

When I was first learning guitar in grade school, nobody taught me to play with a light touch just behind the fret. I got so frustrated with the buzzing, etc, I quit playing. I am picking the guitar back up and working to change my bad habit of pressing too hard and teaching myself to play just behind the fret. Thank you for these great tips. Much appreciated.

It takes no pressure at all if you get it right and like you I was not told early on either. You can however be too close with classical guitars and change the intonation - my good classical guitar with go sharp, flat or just right depending upon where one frets.

Dear Rick and Tim - first, Rick, congratulations on your channel going from strngth to strength. Tim, I embarassed that - at 66 years old - I had never heard of you and then KZfaq's wonderful algorithm served me up your Mimisounds session and the Rick interview back-to-back. This is KZfaq - and social media - at its very finest. Thank you both.
