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. :)

@bricago2302 8 ай бұрын

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. 👍

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.

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.

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’ve been a drummer all my life. No I’m learning how to become a bass guitar player. I bought an acoustic left-handed guitar because Rick got me so interested in music theory is a whole. Almost every KZfaq video that Rick puts out is just so inspiring I keep watching him I just can’t get enough. He has been there and lived this and he has these people on that have been there and did all this originally it’s so incredibly interesting I just can’t get enough.

I wish Rick and Tim would take 20 guitar players under their wings and produce them. Be great to watch the sessions and see Tim and Rick interact with the guitar players. 12 year olds to 90 year old guitar players - I'd watch 'em. Be great if Buddy Guy was one of the 20 players - why not add a legend?

I'd love that! But only if Corey Heuvel was one of them! Even though I don't think that he needs any advice really, he is one of the best guitar players out there right now and writes really great iconic songs that become instantly your favourites. He deserves way more attention and their expertise is always much appreciated 🤘 there's nothing wrong with learning from another 😉 check out his Livestreams on Friday and you'll understand.

Then I got married had kids and a career, but always had guitars and have been playing into my late 60s. I'm not a pro but I'm amazed that I understood everything these pros are talking about.

So out of all guitar music ever made, Rick Springfield's album you consider as good as it gets? Really?

@Tyrannosaurine 9 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.

@greyklopstock7155 Жыл бұрын

I love Tim's view on the availability of the best equipment. It's cool to see someone so big in the industry say that he wants everyone to be able to have access to the stuff that the big time pros rely on. Personally, he's the reason I picked up the odr-1 a few years ago, and he's also the reason I got myself a danelectro roebuck too. I love hearing from the pros what things are actually viable and dependable in the field and on records. To me, I take solace in knowing that I'm using the same readily available tools as some of the greatest session musicians around. Like, I am CERTAIN that there are good sounds to be had if I put in the work as a player and hone my own craft. It's the same reason I bought a fender p bass as my first primary bass when I was in middle school lol. Give me steady Eddie reliability over "mojo" any day. Seriously, it's so incredible to me to see my modern heroes using stuff as their bread and butter and find that those things aren't priced out the ass or rare beyond imagination.

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.

@chrisorrell3066 8 күн бұрын

I believe they should be credited for everything they do especially when they the studio for hire guy come up with the parts. Here we think it’s the band itself and in lots of cases that’s simply not the case. They kinda get ripped off that way if you ask me because literally that song would we hear on the radio or wherever without them. So many classics. And some of these song that they created made the artists literally millions of dollars.

Almost like you are part of the conversation even though your just watching a video…. That’s what makes this so engaging. A question for both Rick and Tim…. Could you one day discuss the difference between learning to play in you early teens and in you mid 40’s or later; that is when you have all the time in the world and no responsibility vs. Limited time and and the responsibilities of adulthood and family’s.
