Andy Timmons has the perfect combination of tone, feel, and technical proficiency. And he's so fucking musical. He's not up there just doing speed excercises and scale patterns. Its really tasteful
That key change at 3:20. Could not have been compositionally more perfect! Andy has to be one of the most underated guitarists AND composers of all time. Simply amazing!
He said it in one of his interviews; when Satriani released his first album I realised wow! there is no need to have singer in the band, we can play our guitars and still make it sound interesting to all ears. this is what Satriani did Stories and emotions in his music. and Andy is doing a great job and what he plays belongs to him, no one plays like him. Amazing Player.
There were a lot of players of other instruments who said things like "if you have a bass player and a good keyboard player, you don't need guitar". I like his feature work, but also like it when guys like him get into bands that have a great vocalist and the players/vocalist can work more melodically and pick spots to joust.
@@daw162 yeah I mean I like both styles, I like what joe B does, in terms of how much he sings verses play guitar. Andy does sing a few songs at most of his shows, he will do hendrix tunes and some other covers, Andy is solid at singing
For those of you who don't know it. This video is a live DVD release. Andy actuality played his new album "Resolution" in its entirety from beginning to end. I have never seen anyone capture the exact same sound attack and passion in there playing as Andy does every single time he touches his Guitar. He is always great. always incredible no matter if he us shredding, playing blues, playing rock or Jazz. His Tone sound and Style is bulletproof. do yourselves a favor and check out all Andy Instrumental music albums, you will NOT be disappointed..He has great gear videos up also. Brand New with Mesa. He makes all of them sound incredible.
Where have I been? This guy is absolutely amazing! His playing is full of passion, energy, precision picking and fretwork, tasty chops, and solid musicianship fueling it. Thank you much for posting this.
Andy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This man he doesn't have a soul, he is THE SOUL!!!!!!!!!! I admire Satch,love the Vai's style,but this guy is impossible just outstanding,not of this planet!!!!
3:43 has to be one of the tastiest licks ever made in the history or music!!!! Amazing!! Phrasing lord! Greg Howe, Andy Timmons and Pat Metheny are my absolute heroes.
Yeah, until fairly recently, I hadn`t` heard of him or this tune. Then I made a Joe Satriani channel on Pandora. Now I`ve got a lot more guitar heroes like this guy, John Petrucci, Buckethead, etc. etc.
okay, brand new Andy Timmons listener here - glad to be out from under my rock and into this amazing music! What a band! AT is amazing, obviously, but that rhythm section is KILLIN IT!!
Shawn lane is by far the most terrifying guitar player to come out of 80s, but Andy has the right mix of melodic playing and jazz fusion. Fast lines and razor sharp picking. Killer themes. 🎉
