Do It NOW Or You’re FIRED! w/ Tim Pierce 

... and playing. Thats missing here, whereas when Tim is on Norman's Rare Guitars, they talk and he plays either himself or with others. That's all thats missing here, and maybe a little about their chosen guitar (in the session) and why - not geeky but a a minute or two - it helps and guitarists are generally interested in what pickups, amp etc are used to get the tone.

i think keeping Davoderado is huge being on as well at RS on keeping things exciting as well

Harrier than that 😂

I’m only here for the Holdsworth mentions 😅😅😅

I second this. I come here mostly for the jazz and steely dan stuff. Maybe we could get a video about Wayne Shorter?

Speaking of views, it seems to be getting harder to see how many views a video is getting

Hey Rick, Waiting and waiting for the George Benson Video.... Pretty please...

Oh wait, they moved it down! Easier to read! That's the advantage of living in Asia. Nobody reads anything I say for many hours! Great video, BTW.

Lessons for more than music, I wish more people did that.

@15:05 (-ish) ... I was astounded to hear him say that!

Yes. Kudos to him. It shows a deep humility, and a constant curiosity and desire to keep improving. We can all learn from that!

Honestly the fact that he said trying to keep his hearing is big to me. The movie “Sound of Metal” brings that point home.

It’s a delicate balance.

For real. Tim, talking about being in awe, sort of, around Bob Dylan but not hesitating to say well yeah! And zero hesitation confirming the no mistakes cause we are all pros. It's appropriate. When you're the best, it's rather important to be confident that you're the best. Just imagine if Tim Pierce never got interested in RU-vid. All his amazing knowledge and experiences, all the easy confidence no matter what he is doing, all this amazing and interesting storytelling. It wouldn't be unknown, but it's for sure that millions of people would never benefit from it. It's a whole master class on how to be an s tier pro musician that is not the lead singer just watching him fool around and interact with these other pros in a "casual" setting.

Agreed. . . 100%

Great thought

Like Leland Sklar’s “Producer’s Switch” or Tommy Tedesco ducking below the baffle and pretending to play a different string instrument between takes, which was just the same guitar, played differently.

Was your Dad the great great guitarist, Sonny Greenwich?

@@bluecrueful He still is! He's 87yrs old...

That is quite scary considering how much control he had. Well done ;-)

@@SonnyGreenwichJrMy friend will freak out - he loved Sonny’s playing.

And us viewers in our 70s too!

It's really nice to relate with people and to me these guys and their interests is like hanging around with my closest friends, we just understand where we're coming from and where each of us are trying to go and we back each other directly and implicitly, whether we agree or not, that's special stuff. Cheers

I was in a car accident that erased a lot of my memories so I look at old Top 40 lists from the 60s/70s/80s (happened in 88) to try to remember my life. It erased my ability to play piano too but increased my ability to learn song lyrics.

I read that as Tim and Erick. Haha

Conversating… My favourite new neologism

*conversing

@@peterevans8598 One of my most despised. There was already a word serving perfectly well.

Conversationating

Thats why Gary Moore didnt want to play with Dylan.... frivolous.

Dylan's been a big joke for a long time. He pulled that act on the tour he did with the Grateful Dead - rehearsed a bunch of arrangements, then threw them out at the last minute i.e., on stage! I saw Dylan twice in the 1980s, I would never go again. He was awful. He destroyed all his arrangements, and melodies went right out the window, plus what little voice he had then was shot.

That’s why Dylan basically only plays with next level guitarists from Bloomfield to Robby Robertson to Mick Taylor to Mick Ronson to Larry Carlton to Mike Campbell or to a lesser extent Jerry Garcia.

And this makes The Traveling Wilburys first album even more amazing. George Harrison went to Bob's to use his studio to record one track of his own with multi-instrumentalist Jeff (Mr ELO) Lynne in tow as a friend / second ear and to assist production. Tom Petty popped in for a chill, Jim Keltner was called (drums initially on kitchen utensils) and Roy Orbison was local to connect with Lynne for a project (Jeff a huge fan of Roys). Next thing they are jamming together and wrote / recorded seven songs in seven days... with Bob Dylan in his kitchen, porch, garage, some what natural and un-amped. Lynne would work with George on the final production for the album later but really, I cannot think of anyone else other than George Harrison who could have pulled this off - of all the Beatle's he was the most relaxed about his creative input and ego, and had formed the closest relationship with Bob early days as they both had similar formative influences - American crossover folk, country, field, blues like John Cash, Carl Perkins, Chet Atkins, Woody Guthrie and Chuck Berry. Bob clearly respected George as an artiste and managed to contain him. Lynne would later comment that he had to pinch himself, sat there playing with Bob Dylan and George Harrison, his hero Roy, Tom and Jim thinking how did this happen to me... these guys are all legends and I am this guy from Birmingham who writes pop songs.

@@mrcustom61 - Although he did play with another Wilbury, George Harrison who recognised he was more than a Gibson Les Paul and a Marshall stack*. George encouraged Gary to play acoustic more and widen his approach from rock / blues - he understood that from his time with Eric - they wrote Badge together for example - who had arguably been going the same way with Mayall / Cream... nothing wrong with a blazing blues solo but Eric had more to give and would show it. Eric has mentioned several times in interviews that Harrison was one of his idols. Wah Wah indeed. * Not dissing Gary at all, arguably one of the greatest guitarists of all time and in terms of rock / blues up there with Duane Allman, SRV, Eric, Walter Trout, Jeff beck. I saw him live when he toured with B.B. King and he was sensational.

Yeah, that, and, hey Rick, we're still waitin' on the Joni interview!

Unfortunately she seems to have a pretty big chip on her shoulder. But I can still hope for a great interview...

​@@RockandRollWoman Chip on her shoulder? Do you mind elaborating?

One year younger than you. Feel blessed to grow up during the golden years of electric guitar. These guys illustrate true musicianship and virtuosity. Keep practicing!

There are two main types of jazz. Instrumental jazz and lyrical jazz. Lyrical jazz is still popular with artists such as Melody Gardot, Amy Winehouse, Beth Hart and Sting. Instrumentals in any genre right now are not popular.

Wrecking Crew is indeed correct. You can hear the distinct sound of Joe Osborn on bass and Hal Blaine on drums on those great Lou Adler productions.

Wrecking Crew musicians and Bones Howe producing. Same people as the Fifth Dimension, who also had great harmony vocals.

I even love the slight tape pitch irregularity on "I saw her Again" and the false start is fabulous, such character!

I think we're all thinking the same thing!

Probably even more skill

Very well written Barb. It’s so pleasant to see and listen to Tim that i have to constantly smile ☺️ What a beautiful Soul…..so inspiring ✨❤️💫 Thank you Tim & Rick

@@thepanicroommastering2062 Thank you. I agree. Tim's smile is contagious for sure. I also love how Rick is all smiles when he's listening to Tim. They have a great admiration for each other. ❤️

The video title has very little to do with what they discussed in the video. Kinda disappointing

@@bankruptfilly yeah -- I think Rick was click-baiting us ... lol. Good one Rick because I still watched and enjoyed it.

@@bankruptfilly Tim made it very clear as to how Nirvana ignited his career from random sessions to performing seven days a week! That was the whole point of the thumbnail!

I saved this to watch later, I saw the original title about Kurt/Nirvana that you guys are talking about. Interesting that Rick now changed the title.

@@j_freed Mechanicals is what they used to be called. It’s where a good portion of mine came from and it wasn’t easy to collect ‘em. Some people are control freaks

It is my all-time favorite also... so I puffed up a little bit when they said it was theirs. You know what was weird? When A Girl Named Tom performed on The Voice a couple years ago, the first two songs they performed were my two favorite songs in the world, Wichita Lineman and Helplessly Hoping by Crosby Stills & Nash. Man, I hope you got to hear their version of Wichita Lineman, It brought tears to my eyes.

Just thinking about that song brings the tears. So beautiful!

🤠

Love Crowded House!! Great suggestion!

It's a record of what happened

This is why it is SOOO hilarious when clueless "music people" incorrectly make a big deal saying - it's a CD, or it's a MP3. True artists ALWAYS said: let's go make a record. The delivery medium is inconsequential.

@@martinaddison4880 Perfectly said.

without context, it's just Engrish.

Fyi - check out Andrew Synowiec’s channel for a new studio recording video with Tim playing rhythm and some great lead solos. Albuquerque Blues is awesome and Tim and Andrew go toe to toe in a solo dual! (Just dawned on me that he may have written the song about Tim as he was from Albuquerque?). Anyway, Andrew was on Tim’s show not too long ago and is a top notch session guitarist in LA! There are at least three other songs that Tim plays on that are listed. You may have already seem them! If you like it share with your friends as I think Tim needs a little credit for this phenomenal performance!

Sort of competitors, but it would be cool to see them get together and maybe enhance each other's audiences.

His playing on Living in Oz with Rick S., even better and more aggressive imo.
