I don't know what it is about Tim... He plays so clean. Every note he frets and string he hits is clear to the eye and the ear. He's a genius on the guitar, but watching him play and hearing his instruction, makes me think I can actually be as good as him, and he speaks to us like he believes we can too. I guess that's what it is about Tim...

You have without a doubt become my favorite guitarist after discovering you this past year and your ability to teach is light years above most. Every video is just such an enjoyable experience even if you're not teaching something. But this last month I started watching 1 new video of yours every night and then REALLY spending hours absorbing what you're throwing down and focusing on the finer aspects of your playing. Needless to say my playing has advanced light years and my vibrato has gone from being a randomish accent at times to developing into a fully musical expression where every nuance matters every time. Thanks brother. Apparently the guitar hero isn't a dead genre after all. Keep em coming. You've really helped me up my game.

I'll walk away from this lesson and be cognizant of muting strings more so than I ever have before. Thanks so much for your always thoughtful and concise manner of teaching, Tim. You're a role model for every guitarist wishing to become better and your playing is always exquisitely soulful, thoughtful and freaking perfectly played!

Great information simply presented! I am forever telling people “play in time, and vary your dynamics”. They don’t always do it, but at least they get the idea. When I tell people that I play every note hard, especially the soft ones, I get blank looks. I am going to steal your excellent explanation. Which is appropriate, as I’ve stolen every every guitar idea I’ve ever had.

Playing always with sincere feeling and locking into the drummer is how I've been playing for decades. It's satisfying to hear you, such an accomplished musician, corroborate that this is something we ought to do. I remember before I understood about muting and was so frustrated with how "dirty" my sound was. I just practiced and practiced to make it better(there were no YT vids or any kind of professional instruction for rock electric guitar in those days) until I think I accidentally muted a string, and lo and behold, it didn't ring out and the note I wanted to play was clean. Halleluya! That medium/slow tempo pocket playing is what the Rolling Stones are all about. They have a symbiotic sense of each other when it comes to groove, tempo, and such. Many years ago I realized that I might prevent carpal tunnel and that kind of thing if my wrist was not bent too much when I played. I ended up shortening my strap and raising my guitar to my chest. Sure enough, my wrist was much flatter in all positions. The other guitarist in my band played his guitar at his waist and was having wrist problems. He saw what I was doing, asked me why, and then did the same. It really works. Thanks, Tim for a great, informative vid, one of the best I've seen. Cheers, mate.

@zackguitar07 4 жыл бұрын

Amazing tips, Tim! I especially love how you focused so much on locking in with the snare and string muting. I do a lot of high gain and fuzz stuff with presets changing for each song, so muting is essential. Keep up the good work!

That PRS is a beauty! I have a 20’th anniversary McCarty and as far as guitars go it’s the most wonderful thing ever. Today, i’ve got some older American Strats, a Strat Elite, a couple custom made guitars, and a 1999 LP Standard. PRS outclasses all of them. I love them all but it’s literally my go to and the one I know without question it’s the guitar that will never go out of tune, it’s intonation is rock solid everywhere on the neck and the tonal possibilities go for days and days. I’ve always seen you playing mostly a (looks to be) custom made Strat. I’m really excited about the PRS lol. I hope a million people buy one now because they heard and saw you playing one:). Your lessons are amazing and very helpful to me. Thank you for this

Play with intent - every note has motivation behind it, every note has purpose.

Great advice. These are the type of videos that are so informative. Thank you. It’s the nuances that separate a good guitar player from a great player. Love it.

I really enjoyed this Tim, thank you. I am 70 years old, started playing guitar at age 10. To begin with I was self taught using instruction books, so I learned the old style barre chord method using the index finger to clamp across all the strings. Like yourself, I only had 45's and a record player to somehow try to apply the chord charts As you demonstrate, the only way to do this comfortably is to wear the guitar high up on the chest....not so cool as those low slung rockers of the 60's and today. It is what it is, like you I have smaller hands and one has to learn how to compensate. I took lessons for many years once I got hooked on the instrument. I am a lifer on guitar, my first paid gig was at 18...I am still gigging as I write this. So once again Tim, my thanks for all that you do.

You're such a pleasant man! Can I put you in my pocket and carry you around with me through my day. It's REALLY hard to stay crabby when you're around that type of positive energy.

Like others said, your talent, delivery, tastefulness are killer, thanks for this! I'm amazed even one person gave a thumbs down! Maybe they didn't like the new curtains?? I'll even give the curtains a big thumbs UP! Very cool, man! No wonder people want your playing on their tracks!

Rule number one is SO GOOD, so true... especially bending strings.. I notice beginning students bend notes wimpy.. it's like the trademark of a novice. Bend those notes like your life depends on it.. no wimpy bends, I always think about your rules when onstage,in a session,making videos.. u rule,thx
