Asa, thanks for this great interview with Andy Timmons. Being a guitar player I’m generally not a fan of guitar instrumental music, however I am a massive fan of Andy Timmons. For me, Andy has the very rare combination of phenomenal touch, tone, and technique that most importantly he uses to express his sense of melody, dynamics, and compositions. He always comes across as a great human being too!

Awesome band super talented guys

Great interview! You are absolutely right - the music industry needs to stop making everything sound the same. The best music comes from the heart of people doing their own thing. And what makes Dirty Loops great in my opinion is that it started as a "play-ground" for those three amazing musicians just doing what they felt like instead of thinking about what the main stream listeners would buy. And as a Dane I'm so envious of your free music education in Sweden. The music classes in danish public schools have suffered a lot over the last decades. We do have music schools where you only pay a part of the tuition fee but it's still quite expensive - and we didn't have one where I grew up. I don't come from a family of musicians so I didn't get any real music tuition before I was 15 years old (when I finally found a way). I ended up teaching in a couple of music schools for many years though and still have a few private students because I feel all kids should have the opportunity to play/sing learn about music.

Amazing ❤

Fantastic interview! Deep and insightful. Subscribed

Please share the podcast with someone you know who might enjoy it! That would help a lot and let me get a hold of the guests you would love to see on. :) Also like and subscribe and all that other stuff. :)

Jonah has such a wonderful personality. Awesome creator and human being. Thanks for a great interview.

1:00:54 Don't forget we have Owane, who has collaborated with Henrik Linder! There have been lots of great jazz musicians to come out of Norway too, like Jan Garbarek, who played with the likes of Keith Jarrett. One of my favorites, though, is Lage Lund. He's recognized as one of the leading modern jazz guitarists. Also, a recent discovery of mine was Hedda Mae, in particular with the songs 'Time is now' and 'Carry On'.

My only wish... is that I would have heard of Dirty Loops sooner than I did. So much talent with no guile. Loved seeing them in Seattle last year and hoping to see them again soon!

So this is what I think of Jonah Nilsson and all that I know him for, so far: an absolutely mindblowing creator when it comes to anything music! Just mindblowing…. But for me, to listen to his voice is just the most touching, transporting and mindblowing thing. The emotions, the colours, the nuances….Sheesh I don’t have enough words to describe what his voice can make me feel like. Just saying, cause he’s not quite sure of what people think of him. Sure, his piano playing is out of this world! I listen to both Loopified CDs as well as Phoenix in my car, driving every day, and his piano playing 😱🧡🔥 man….. But his voice gets me even more. All the nuances. He bares his soul when he sings, and that depth of soul and emotion is a beautiful thing to witness 💛 So it was heartening to hear that he now sees himself as more of a singer than he did a while ago. Growing into it, in a way. Fascinating interview, great questions and answers. Thanks to both of you 🙏🙏

I have been in love with Jonah Nilsson for 15 years! 😍 Brilliant musician, beautiful man and a genuinely kind person. Thanks for this great interview! Flying from the USA to London just to see Dirty Loops (again) in March. Can't wait!

Actually, the younger generation are getting back into Guitars and Bass. I’ve just taken on two students teaching Bass., one is 11 the other is 15. They’re both just starting up and they’re really enthusiastic.

Thank you so much for this interview! Have listened to a lot of interviews about Andy, but this one dives into some really interesting topics about his life, really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.

The Beatles are not what you think they are, after much research and digging what I found was just crazy. Total freemasonic control and top tier satanic deceivers is what they were. Sad but true and the world hurts from what they have done. Be careful in perpetuating there vibrations

Beautiful songwriter !!!

Are you Alex Poz?

Enjoyed this a lot! Andy is an amazing musician and you are a great interviewer. Very inspiring conversation. Thank you and all the best success!

down to Earth one and only Andy Timmons.🙌🏼🤘🏻🙌🏼

His solo version of Bohemian Rhapsody is nuts

I heard Andy music from file sharing in 2009 😬...since that day, he became my first favourite guitar hero...

love andy's music. more fans should watch this

Thanks so much Asa and Andy! Great interview!

Regarding the "it is very very hard for AI to sound like Andy Timmons" I am a die hard Andy fan since I first heard him, biggest influence for me ever. A few months ago I went to Spotify to listen to his whole discography and was surprised that he has an album called Kick Ass Blues Rock from 2004. I was like no fukin way I missed this in the last 20 years, no way there I haven't heard about it in any interviews forums or articles or haven't heard any song from it on clinics or wherever. I listened to it about 4 times in a row and thought it is some kind of unreleased demo stuff or such. It was strange though that all the songs sound the same but definitely tons of Andy vibe there, really. Then I realized as well all songs are about 2 mins. I searched the internet if there is ANYTHING on this album and found nothing...except, I found the songs here on youtube and the description says "generated by youtube". It really works unfortunately, I was in shock for about a week how the hell it can be done and how scary this whole thing is, because like you said in the interview, I though Andy's playing is the last thing I would think AI can pull off, but it lierally fooled me for the first 2 listnes and then I got suspicious. And the funniest thing is I actually liked most of the songs... What I don't get is why does Andy have it up on his official Spotify account still and was if it was him who uploaded it.

Great!! 🔥🔥 Can you tell me exactly what the name of this delay pedal is?

Andy's tone and phrasings are great!

There’s no such thing as the best tone, except Andy Timmons has it.

Inspirational. Thank you so much. I put a 'like'. wishing there was an option to put a 'love' :-)

Andy is a unique genius with a unique tone and a unique sensibility. Great interview.

👍

Awesome to hear a professional musician reflect on the SMW tunes

Yes, its an art to create the right emotion trough music, one of my favorite songs in video games is germans theme in bloodborne ❤

David Gilmour looking a bit.. black

This is so good 🫡

Hey guys, great episode. Ryan knows me from earlier since I used to work with Broke (The Nations). Just wanted to clarify one thing; at 10:04 it’s mentioned the Copyright board decides the royalty rate per stream, but in the royalty statements we receive from our distributors we can see that the royalty rate differs exponentially depending on the origin country of the stream and even the DSP (spotify has different royalty rates per stream compared to apple etc). For example, Iceland pays out the highest while Nepal is the lowest, with different pay rates across different platforms. Does the copyright board determine the rate that they pay out to the DSPs, who then in turn apply the rate per country and hand it out to the distributors? And would that mean that each country has their own copyright board which decides this in accordance with each DSP? Thanks for any clarifications!

Hi! Heard through the grapevines you were looking for a scriptwriter. Would love to apply. Send relevant samples. Or whatever you need. Thnaks.

He also worked on Lil Peep's on Come Over When You're Sober
