Wow. David Lindley put the lap steel into the spotlight so beautifully! Great instinctive musician. Always strived for the fresh take without a rehearsed part. Brave.
any little guitar part, that serves the song....", and there it is, ladies and gentlemen.....the mantra of a real musician. As flashy as Tim can be, he understands that rhythm ( and other supporting roles ) is a far more important role in music than the flash...... I'm devastated to hear that David Lindley has passed........ the guy was a hero of mine . So much musicianship with so little acclaim. People like Mr Lindley and Ry Cooder brought so much to the table.
Lindley's slide work on Jackson Browne's "These Days" original recording is just mind blowing (especially the outro). Not to mention all the other JB songs he played on.
Always love it when the two of you get together! We sadly lost two greats but you two always continue to make it clear what's great about music! Thanks!
Next video with Tim I would like to hear: 5 biggest songs he played on, 5 best songs he played on, 5 favorite songs he played on and his 5 best performances on a record. Curious to see if any overlap and want to find out in general
Wayne Shorter was so awesome I have no words to describe it. The only problem is that a lot of the time I could not really keep up in my head with what he was doing musically. I couldn't track along with it. His music lines went in directions I couldn't follow. I'd get lost a lot. He was a constant challenge for me, like a lot of sophisticated jazz. But man, it sounded awesome. I had to listen, even when I didn't follow it well.
Guitarist that plays for others like women and girlfriends...so true. If you want to find out who a virtuoso is , the shorter the attention span of your g.f or wife, the better the player. Allan Holdsworths music literally repels the average female.
I hear ya; sometimes I just listen for the feel of the music, not analyzing or expecting or predicting it. Sometimes I try to listen not as a longtime player, but as a child, with open ears.
I think I just saw Tim Pierce on a solid gold performance with Rick Springfield from 1982 but I'm not sure if it was him or not but I think it might have been. He was dressed pretty cool
Gary Rossington🙏 I mentioned what a sweet guitar player he is in the chat and the next day I read he has passed away.. Rest in Peace, Gary🙏 Condolences to family✝
My two internet favorite(s): Rick & Tim, Tim & Rick... These two cats get together and the conversation just flows. They have similar points of reference BUT they both have their own takes. I would love to be in the room when these guys get together. I love these two. And I especially love when they both lean into the camera when they're trying to read the computer questions.
Love this guys ,thanks ! Good info . Shoutout Joe at Northfield . Spent 4 days in Ithaca last week Rick . Love it there . Absolutely love the Toy Mattine' stuff Tim . Listen to it all the time .
Louis Shelton was one of the great masters playing for the song. We all think of Carlton et al, but before that was Shelton, the GOAT in so many ways. Larry recognized this by his shout out to Louis on the back of his Room 335 album.
I think there's a fourth category of guitarist (and musician in general): They play what they personally like to hear and hope that other people like it too.
I'm a wimmens and I love your channel! I just started guitar 2 years ago at the ripe old age of 58 :> I really enjoy hearing your stories about the musicians and music that I love! Not to mention the gift that is listening to your amazing musicianship. Thank you so much.
I recently listened to Katy Lied and I'm still amazed by Denny Dias' lead in Your Gold Teeth II. The song as a whole is great, as well. The lead rivals Larry Carlton's on Kid Charlemagne, in my opinion. Love them both, songs and leads. I'm not sure if you've mentioned Denny Dias before, but could you do a video about him sometime, Tim?
So glad to see another wise soul who knows how amzing Tthis song is. Never heard anything like it.Another thing that shows how amazing Denny Dias is he did most of his work on the spot in one take
whoa... as enjoyed this video I saw the tag in the bottom left of the screen - "Tim and Rick". My brother (Tim) and I (Rick) moved from SC (growing up not far from Rhett Shull in the 80's) to L. A. in 1990 pursuing a music career. We played the Troubadour and Whisky on occasion, but never the Baked Potato. Ahhhh.. funny moment as I enjoyed their story telling.
Don’t forget Toni Harper. Please look her up. Worked with amazing people including Marty Paich and toured with Oscar Peterson. Did a little piece about her work in Second Life.
Remembrances of Lindley have been posted online by Jason Isbell, Joe Bonnamassa, Graham Nash, Lee Sklar, Jackson Browne, Stephen King (yes, the author), Peter Frampton, Steve Martin (banjo playing comedian), and many others. Otis Gibbs posted a particularly nice tribute to Lindley on his RU-vid channel; and Henry Kaiser posted a bunch of home videos of he and David from their Madagascar trip and recording project, on the Cuneiform Records RU-vid channel. I was fortunate to have seen Lindley play numerous times, with ElRayo-X, with Ry Cooder, doing duets with Jackson, and with Hani Nasser or Wally Ingram on percussion; and got to meet and talk to him once with a couple of young family members in tow (the kids got free drumsticks, snare brushes, guitar picks, and autographed T-shirts). I have seen him play Oud, Saz, Violin, Bouzouki and Weissenborn acoustic lap steel on stage, and I stood in the shadow of his Supro electric steel while it roared through the Dumble, from only ten feet away. Awesome tone.
Tony Levin, 5 feet from me, with Stickmen (I went to 3 of their 6 sets.) Allen Hinds tomorrow night. Steve Lukather wuth Nerve Bundle last December. All played the Baked Potato in the last few months. I'd like to move back to northern California, but I just can't give up the live music scene in LA, and the friends I enjoy it with. David Lindley was booked with Karla Bonoff last fall, and Dan Navarro subbed for him on one day's notice. Apparently David had Lewy Body dementia. So sad. Such an incredible musician! Navarro is one of those guys Rick talked about, whose music I lost track of. I rediscovered him at a live show at McCabe's in Santa Monica. His latest album is wonderful. Interview, Rick?
Shorter and Lindley passing is so sad ..yes all out musical icons are leaving us.They may be gone but not forgotten. Love this post would like to see more of this of you two.Thank you in doing this post greatly appreciated 🙏.
Interview = Mark Knopfler......ahhh, I would pay to see that interview. His life story, his technique, his guitars, DS and solo records, stories when the old 70's & 80's songs were written, the live gigs.......WOW!, bring it on!
Rick has really developed as a good interviewer. This is Tim's channel and Rick really keeps the convo moving and that was just an effortless toss off, "hey wanna talk about your masterclass?" I really enjoyed this hangout. Really good stuff from Tim and Rick.
Nashville has several similar venues to the Baked Potato where great players stretch out. 3rd & Lindsley and Station Inn come to mind. Back when I was in college you could go to 3rd & Lindsley any Wednesday night where the Wooten Brothers would play funk / soul with whatever soul artists happened to be in town, for $2 cover.
Ever heard of Michael Roe? He came from an alternative ccm-ish background back in the 80s. Was with Island Records. His guitarwork, melody, soloing, etc are pretty amazing, very melodic playing including some instrumentals, lots of blues and rock. Would like to see him get some recognition. MT, Ache Beautiful, Dont This Way, Stellazine and tons more in his catalog
Hi Rick! Would love to see a video about SINATRA: his concept album revolution with "on the wee..." how he fck swings and grooves melodies. His collaborations with ridley and the best arrangers. And why miles or sonny Rollins would listen to sinatra to get elements to interpret a new standard tune. You could even call sonny Rollins to ask:-)))))
This first Wayne Shorter sound I heard was "Birdland". I was hooked, took a study in Weather for a few months. Fast forward into their classic "A Remark you Made". Excellent 70s sound, electric piano, Jaco and Wayne. Don't remember the keyboard players name though.
We had David Lindley and the Wally Lama booked in Santa Fe in 2006(?). He was due $1600. and 2 Chicken dinners. We put him up at a Holiday Inn across the street. Which is where we got him his chicken dinners right before the show. They ate them like a last meal. Then he turned to me and said that it was the worst chicken dinner I've ever had. It was a shame a chicken died for that. He was due to play 1hr 20mins. I was running the door. He said I'm not playing one minuet past that. When I ask you ask you the time just tell me how much time I have left. So, all night long he complained about the dinner. Not jokes. Just complaints. Then he looked at me and asked 'how much time'. Well it was at the 2 hour 47 min mark. He had played an hour 20 longer than needed. I just gave him the cut sign. He did have some funny road stories though. Club held 364 and we almost sold out. He got paid good. No Pepto or Alka Seltzer though.
PrimeTone Jazz III & Primetone Jazz III XL Fender 1.14 Nlyon -purple, best picks for my money - Fender Heavy, Pickboy Meta-carbonate, Jazz III XL black / red, Ultex, Tortex 1.14, Brain nylon .88, horn/antler 351 picks good back ups last , stone or wooden 3-6mm picks for acoustic
When someone dies like this they left those music. That's what I do listen to it any reminisce. I should be guilty I didn't listen to it and I don't know a long time
Rick and Tim-I was sorry to read about the passing of David Lindley (RIP) earlier but hadn't heard of Wayne Shorter's passing. Wow, that is sad...And I was just thinking about our world without Jeff Beck before I started watching this. Rick-so wonderful of you to mention Shorter's album "Native Dancer" with Milton Nascimento, one my favorites of his as well! That album is the true definition of sublime. His work with Miles, Joni, Weather Report, etc. will stand the test of time, what a jazz giant.
Sorry, I am almost the same age, but seeing You read the chat reminds me of Waldorf and Statler. Hope to see lots more of that in the future. RIP Mr. Dave and Wayne Shorter.
I had an OG pignose grabbed at a garage sale in 1986 ish for $10.00 man I miss that Amp Along with my 1980's Tama Imperialstar Gil Moore set up. Miss that as well. Gerber Music in Shoppingtown Mall. Dave Pasternak, Mark Copani, Mickey Sage (One of my fathers best friends RIP) .Gary Frenay, All were amazing and still are. Syr NY in the 70's and 80's were awesome. I remember walking into Mr Pasternak house and he would build guitars from scratch. Stagnitta MUSIC ( Joe) was a cool guy. Music is the life blood of humans who walk this planet 😎
Robbie Robertson of "The Band" made most of the income from his song writing. Rick Danko's penniless widow and Levon Helm were bitter about the fact. Helm was the soul of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down".
Just wondering if you guys have ever heard any of Tim DeHuff’s guitar parts on Full Sail or Livin’ In Style? Or maybe Women Reign or Where To Now? Wishful Thinking? :) don’t be mad! it’s all in good fun! :) what else can a poor boy do? 😃
Rick didn't seem like much of a David Lindley fan, so maybe Tim could do a video on some of David's songs: Do You Wanna Dance (great guitar solo,) Werewolves of London (one of the great short guitar solos of all time,) for starters.
I dont know Ive played in bands,touring gig’n recording etc etc Nowdays,i play for myself,no gig’n or even playing in bands Once in a blue moon i might sit in with friends but i play mostly to my head
Wayne came through the Coltrane time period as his own unique voice. When you heard him, you knew who was playing, there was no mistaking his sound and lines for anyone else. He was an integral part of the second great Miles Davis quintet not only as a player but for his monster compositional skills. He will be remembered as one of Jazz's great composers as well as being at the summit of great sax players.
I would you to do a podcast on the guys that are in the trenches that no one has ever heard about. The folks that supported a family sent their children to the finest universities and at the same time had time to perfect their craft. The guys that knew how to make money and still play jazz/music. They paid off their house, didn’t cheat on their wife and still had the respect of their family. There are some of these guy out there. It would be interesting to know what they know that the rest did not. They had no drug or alcohol issues. You don’t have to be a star to earn money in music, you just need dedication and discipline. This may serve the General public well as opposed to what inversion Metheny uses on James.
Tim and Rick at it again! These two guys make talking about music instrumental and an art form. How can you not be passionate about everything and everyone in music after listening to these two! Great video!
It came up on mine too, that hendrix clip. We're all being fed the same content. I wonder if it's weird to be part of the content bubble you'e stuck in?
Life? It's easy to celebrate a life well lived, but so sad to see people of all walks of life being inflicted with disease and meeting an untimely demise. I know we aren't supposed to dwell on death, but as we age the 'best before date' certainly comes more apparent.
