He went to work on this one! It's hard to add to perfection, but he manages to pull it off in spades! When he is on his game, it gets even more emotional. Different phrasing, extended runs, one note pauses. This performance was second to none. Extremely gifted.
Couldn't agree more... I honestly believe it starts out with his tone/delay dial in... I think if he's feeling it right away it, gives him the guts to take it further than usual as far is improvisation goes....
My Ibanez starter guitar kit came with an instructional video in it. The teacher was Andy Timmons. I could not believe my ears being 15 years old I was blown away and I am still to this day. Still my favorite guitarist 22 years later!!
Gary Moore’s spirit lives on, this man makes the guitar cry with emotion and give you the goosebumps just as he once did. Thankful to have found Amy’s music, legend!
Timir Das well ironically, he played in an 80’s band whose most famous songs were live ballads😂 danger danger is a criminally underrated band simply for the fact that he was the lead guitarist
Certainly one of the most beautiful and gripping pieces of instrumental guitar ever composed. Still grabs you after all these years. Beautiful and soulful impro of this piece that many of us know every single note of. One of Andy's best ever live versions of this song.
An absolute legend no matter which version you see of cry for you on youtube you have to watch it till the end. Great version Andy and keep your legacy alive; Play on Maestro.
I have a Telecaster with Andy Timmons signature on it. It remembers me to never put limits on my playing, because if you think that a guitarist like Andy exists, you know there is always a better way to play something. It's up to you to find it. But at the same time, you know deep inside you that you'll never be capable to play like Andy. Anyway, never, NEVER put limits on what you think are capable to do.
We were lucky enough to see Andy in Ottawa this past August. A musician's musician, who plays from a well of emotion deep in his soul, and a helluva nice, humble guy. In my top 3 guitar players on the planet.
I am 63 years old. I saw queen as a backing group in 1972 . I just found this music. Just brilliant , jaw dropping straight from the heart, would love to see him live.
I have 28 years of musical experience, but I never heard him before tooday... My experience is not bad... But I think "Who am I?" right now, if I don't know him... Amazing guitar sound..
Andy is the man! The best of the best of the best! He influenced so many guitarists including My fav Andy James! Other good at songs: electric gypsy, I don't know
Such an excellent player. A true inspiration. He actually knows how to make his axe cry into emotions which every guitarist wants to learn... but only few succeed, Guthrie and Via for example. Huge respect sir.🙏
Singular, inigualável. O encontro de técnica, senso melódico e pegada em seus níveis mais elevados. Pode ser facilmente a maior balada de guitarra de todos os tempos.
Deep and sorrowful feeling ...intense... magical... beautiful... astonishing .The most tasteful guitarist I've ever heard ! Andy " The Tone King " Timmons has it all !!! Tremendous respect for you Andy . You have a gift and I am greatful & very honored to have met you at guitar clinics & at MoJo's Boneyard . Andy Timmons live and in person is a humbling experience like no other ! Cry For You is a masterpiece indeed ! #OTHERWORDLY #phenomenal
I'm a Ibanez man myself and Texan Rocker🤘 seen Andy's Show 3times OWN his catalog of symphony! This is one of his best renditions of this song ever! He absolutely dropped the jaws OF EVERY1 there I'm certain of that! WoW
Unbelievable. After listening to the same song since 10 years I still fell the same thing when I listen A. T. He always surprise me . After 10 or 15 versions ( live versions ) Make me cry deeply He needs one or two notes to make me feel different
Oq falar desse herói da guitarra? Cara fantástico melódico,virtuoso,timbre com uma identidade imensa ,muita alma e acima de tudo muito humilde conheci ele aqui em.salvador BA e ele está além de um instrumento sou fan
He composed an epic piece of music. Then he keeps making it epic-er and epic-er every time he improvs over it. I don't understand how this is even possible...
That's one of the most important lessons to take from this piece. Speed is only impressive and cool if you use it rarely and with the right setup. If you just shred through the whole song, the listener gets used to it and it become less interesting or even boring.
I've listened this masterpiece for many times in 90-ties version. But now ... A.T. is not simply the best rock guitarist ever. In early times of Hendrix, Page and Clapton (and McLaughlin&Co) could someone imagine that rock music would ever have such musicality (even not speaking about playing technique so rich, developed and remaining characteristic for rock guitar)?
