I've known Carl Verheyen for a long time. We've both traveled the same LA studios for many years. Carl is a great player, and in this interview he teaches us some important things, and shares his history.
Carl is visiting our masterclass in a few days to give an in depth lesson...we will edit and release his new teaching episode in a couple of weeks :)
Thanks so much to all you who have joined us in the masterclass.

Carl is truly one of the most complete guitarists out there but I truly admire Tim’s eagerness to learn without any sense of awkwardness. I am a fan of such gifted incredible musicians that can have zero ego and become students without embarrassment. Thank you both for such a great example of teaching and learning.

[@johnmackie1518]

Just ,Humbling and Spiritual ! Wow! What a couple of beautiful Human Beings! Please cum to NZ.

[@joeinterrante7873]

Carl played at a venue here on the east coast a few years ago. It was a wednesday eve and there was hardly anyone there. I felt bad for him because he is so underappreciated. He is in my opinion one of the best and a very kool guy

[@RJRonquillo]

As always, I'm picking my up my jaw from the floor.

[@toneseeker4968]

That's awesome and humble coming from you, R. J. I'm glad to see your comment. I've spent hours and hours on youtube watching you play. I'd love to see you visit Tim's house (or do your own similar thing) You, too, are one of my favorite guitar players on the planet.

[@jeffhebert9643]

R.J. Ronquillo Guitar don't you worry my friend . ..you got " the Jam " going on too .

[@magnificentmask9601]

YOURE AMAZING MY MAN

[@OldBeatenStrat]

R.J. Ronquillo Guitar and you are an amazing guitarist; what would I say?

[@clgmafnas]

R.J. Ronquillo Guitar Dude...for reals. But hey. ..I do the same when I watch your vids too mang! 🤘 Long live guitar!

[@mpeskett]

Amazing. Probably the biggest takeaway from this lesson is that even highly accomplished guys like Tim Pierce can always learn new things. We often assume that such players have 'got it all' when in reality its actually a *mark* of their being highly accomplished that they know that there is more they can learn. Simply put, Tim's enthusiasm to sit down with guys like Carl and learn is what makes Tim a master player. For anyone who is frustrated that they don't feel they know as much as they should or that they have not accomplished as much as they wish they have, the issue is not your place in the journey, but rather your frustration. For every single musician, learning is a journey to be enjoyed and there is simply no such thing as an end to the road or a utopia.

[@allancrow134]

A beginning with no end. I'm just lazy. :)

[@TomStrahle]

My first guitar lesson in LA in 1982 was with Carl. Took many more after that. He would always blow my mind.

[@dharleyfan1]

I never realized what a musical Genius Carl Verheyen is. I saw him play at Sweetwater Gearfest, two years ago, I was absolutely amazed, and got to meet him, what an awesome experience.

[@mattchurchill]

Carly Verheyen never ceases to amaze me. Too good.

[@iansnyder274]

Masters at work...Tim is so inspiring and humble...love him....and Carl is an Alien!!

[@notebender4]

The man's a contortionist...He is a great player and as far as I've seen a great guy too he's got an excellent video lesson on Truefires site...It also goes to show you that even when you may think you've pretty much nailed it all, there's more to learn...This is why I play...not accolades, not any delusions of grandeur just the unadulterated love of the instrument...Great video...

[@Producelikeapro]

Absolutely amazing! Wow! I learned so much Tim! Carl is incredible!

[@RecoveringGuitarEnthusiast]

I wrote Carl a comment on a video demo of a vintage Gibson amp I was selling. I had no idea who he was or how good, just that he had played the same amp a Gibson Tweed RVT-79 stereo in mint condition and he replied with a few hours, we went back an forth an he said so I 'll see you at my next gig in your area, the Sierra Nevada Brewery in Chico, Ca at the time. Then I found out how good he was, yet he was just a cool regular guy really interested in talking about the amp. That was a great reality check for-sure. Then to see this, I knew he toured with Super Tramp a few years later, but not since 1985...WoW!! Slightly intimidated, until he starts to talk like an old friend ready to help you get it what ever 'it" is. Maximum Respect - Loo

[@jonathanhandsmusic]

He is really a cool nice person besides being a great guitarist. He's a good story teller too.

[@RecoveringGuitarEnthusiast]

@@jonathanhandsmusic The more successful they are, I find the nicer they are too. 👍 🙏 Maximum Respect ~ Loo 👊 😎

[@undercrackers56]

Tim is so gracious to share this with us. How many of us would post a video showing us trying to catch up with another guitarist? Love your class Tim.

[@droliver]

That was so much fun to watch. It’s not every day you see a top pro like Tim looking befuddled by someone else playing. That thumb chord coming under was just face meltingly cool

[@xosemusic]

This is the best thing in the internet right now, my favorite session guitarists in one spot

[@Guitargate]

Tim this was outstanding!! I miss having Carl as a teacher at GIT. Such an effortless and smart player.

[@paulmichaelsmith3207]

Boy, you know it. Said it here before and I don't wanna sound like Carl's pimp - but can you think of a better, more informed player than Carl? I can't and I've studied with him and guys like Mike Stern ( a totally cool guy and incredible player) but Carl's fluid, ridiculous versatility sets him very much apart. I'm not a hero worship guy, not at all, but Carl Verheyen is the absolute shit.

[@frankdempsey5395]

Holy spit this is so good. Play an Ab min-7 with the root at the 11th fret on the "A" string... add the available open E's and you'll get the coolest sounding E chord you've ever heard. Carl taught me a few things now to try. Thank you.

[@keithmitchellguitarlessons585]

Amazing seeing Tim struggling to figure out what Carl is doing like what the rest of us do!!!!!! there is hope for us!

[@birdmanbl]

im litterally saying wow and slack jawed at Carl...and Tim a class act ripper himself...wow

[@toneseeker4968]

I watched this twice in a row before I noticed that I had a huge shit eating grin on my face the entire time. This is extraordinarily brilliant. Thank you Tim for posting this video and hosting Carl!

[@gonepickin990]

First time I genuinely smiled in months. Still smiling just learning more of what is possible on the guitar...WOW!

[@josephvega3763]

Me tooooo!!!!!!

[@josephvega3763]

It won't go away either!!!

[@unabonger777]

you went back for seconds?

[@L.Scott_Music]

Did you all catch that bit when Carl was playing country and he did a big bend then while holding the bend played a lick on top of that with his pinky and ring finger. That was bad ass! (At 3:51 )

[@guitar78ish]

Yeah, that is an awesome lick, it is very common in country music, especially when imitating the steel guitar. Check out Jerry Donahue, he's a master at this style. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJS6oIyNhLOmsNk

[@Pimp-Master]

Carl was my 1980 guitar teacher. Later he joined the touring version of Supertramp- Of course he never aged. He also turned me onto jazz guy, Ron Eshte.

[@stroopwafel6141]

Two giants meet! Thanks Tim for this wonderful vid.

[@tim9house]

Still have my notebook of my licks I wrote down after lessons with Carl. Two geniuses-great video Tim!

[@jasonwilliamshuck]

i met Carl at NAMM in the late 90s, when we was at the small Thomastik-Infeld string booth (he was an endorser) i had been trying to digest his amazing Intervallic Rock Guitar instructional video, and he was very cool and kind and talked to me for over an hour. brilliant player and his physical dexterity is very impressive. he makes playing very long-complex-sophisticated lines look easy. he and TimP are legends.

[@jdcaporali]

Mr. Verheyen is always raising the bar, he's beyond amazing!

[@beenderedonedat]

actually he is loweiring it, with just the right amount of pressure haha

[@anthonyskellern5970]

Stunning playing from Carl - and Tim, as gracious as ever, happy to take a back seat, here... Two of my favourite guitar players in the same video :0)

[@jaycheek254]

This guy blows me away - like you! He does all those crazy runs like you. You guys would make one awesome duo!

[@mattsefton]

AND Carl Verheyen knows the absolute best way to set up a floating strat trem! The guy’s a genius...

[@BigBallSac]

absolutely amazing and so inspiring! my spirits have been lifted. hell ya Tim, thanks for showing me this cool cat.

[@SirJo55]

Due fantastici e straordinari chitarristi... cosa si può volere di più? c'è solo da ascoltare e cercare di imparare! Two fantastic and awesome guitarists ... what more ? there's only to listen and try to learn!

[@Dolphinstreets]

Carl and Tim are so crazy good!

[@MichaelGrecoGuitar]

Why have I never heard of this guys before?!?!?!?! dude is amazing.

[@e2jw]

Oh... my... gosh. Wow what a lesson!

[@duskokovacevic4497]

Pleasure, both of you!

[@jorgegvb]

It was interesting to watch Tim’s facial expressions on some of the things Carl was doing.

[@Soloist1983]

My absolute favorite new channel, I have been a Tim Pierce fan forever, but didn't know about his KZbin channel until a few days ago

[@kevinabernathy5894]

Carl sets the bar in the stratosphere. Truly amazing guitar player.

[@timweber3277]

I've watched this several times and it just get's better. Both accomplished guys and even Carl does something he's never done before (in 60 some odd years) ! Fun to see them enjoying a little play time ! Mr. V can not only play anything at any time, he can perfectly describe everything about it. Dr. V and some !

[@northof50now]

Just awesome. Can't wait for the MasterClass lesson.

[@sionmichel]

Utterly inspiring! Thank you Tim once again for your mad skills, humble nature and sharing all you know and who you know to keep it all fresh!

[@jonathanhandsmusic]

I really enjoyed this. I've rewound the section where Carl is showing Tim those great chords. It's something I'd never see anywhere else but here. Thanks

[@Disharmonikash]

always loved Carl, such a wonderful human being. incredibly musical player as well, obviously.

[@Hogman666]

Just so cool. Thank you so much!

[@toolowd]

I love both these guys. So humble both. Yet, WOW!

[@billyzoom1]

That was insane. So refreshing to see someone so skilled as yourself show humility and that they are also always learning. You are an inspiration, Tim. Thank you both.

[@Okheerz1]

Best TP ever, I think; had me ROFL. CV's chords, harmonics, arpeggios, & dissonance all jaw-dropping; tho Tim remains my hero.

[@doyleallen3762]

OH, my fingers are all tangled up now! Thanks Carl (Tim) ♥

[@DlmlZ]

Booaah.... I mean, Tim is already incredible but Carl.... man he is insane. Holy sh.... and he always know what he is playing from the scales and still inventing new melodies, new licks. I suppose there isn't a single style he can't play. Thanks a lot Tim for spoiling us with this musical Alien! I simply LOVE IT!

[@tomi1537]

That.... Was.... Awesome! Carl's the man!

[@nazmoking3171]

Wow - Carl teaching Tim something - sheesh these guys! Incredible. Carl's videos on how to float a tremolo are fantastic also - that's how I found him. Guys like him and Jack Pearson are the greatest.

[@niptodstan]

That was like watching Zeus and Poseidon having a jam.

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

Having jam?

[@Skypie61]

I was hooked from the moment Eric started playing. But when he mentioned Lenny Breau and the Gm7add?#%&*^ I cannot believe how great a player he is...Again tx to Tim for sharing his talent & knowledge. So amazing to have Tim, Rick Beato, Rhett Schull, Brett Papa, Marty Shwartz, Carl Brown, and Justin Sandercoe, who has been doing free videos for 15+ years, and so many others...

[@jeremydodds1761]

Cool stuff, two great human beings. Thanks

[@dmmjq2]

Tim I'm glad I discovered your channel last week ..don't know where I've been that I've missed it... so far I'm loving it ..you have great videos ..great teaching.. a lot of channels don't really give you a lot of information just enough to tease you to go buy something.. so far I've learned a lot from your channel so thank you..

[@michaelwade9455]

This was just fantastic. What a great conversation between two seriously great players, so, so good!

[@AJgeartalk]

When Tim Pierce learns something- you're on another plane......

[@joechicky7366]

My plane never got off the runway...

[@squirelova1815]

"HOLY SCHNIKES!" Even when Carl is just "noodling" he's like a cosmic level musical "Big Bang" event. Incredible. Even Mark Knopfler would be impressed. Carl mentions his album: "...had Allan Holdsworth on as a guest." What?! How many can say THAT? No wonder he's a Top Tier session player!

[@martynkentfrancis]

Wow, masterclass is gonna be incredible 👍👍

[@steverae]

This guy is one of my favourite guitarists. He's amazing!

[@salvationstudios-homeofthe5334]

Had a right good day playing guitar today - watching this at the end of it would have made me feel like shit when I was young...now I'm old...it inspires!

[@schopfieldmusic6329]

This great! Good to see you two together!! I learned a lot!!!!

[@brucelk19]

Well I suck tim pierce channel is the best.. the wealth of Knowledge between these two men or tim and anyone guest he has on his channel is priceless I just wish I understood 1/4th of it

[@tonyfondacaro1980]

This video makes me want to tab all of Carl’s playing, learn it note for note, and analyze the hell out of it. This is absolute gold.

[@AndresYepez]

Thousands of guitar recordings between these two amazing gentlemen

[@fender0942]

Carl is so good that he actually demotivates me. Wow. True Master!

[@toddflowers8052]

WOW ! Amazing stuff right there ! Thanks Tim and Carl ! :-)

[@SeanGibsonNoiseReel]

Always a great tutorial just watching Tim or Carl!

[@jamesfillier6647]

This has to be the most impressive guitar video I have ever watched. I am totally floored!!

[@juliangitarre4196]

Wow! This is amazing. Thank you very much for posting :)

[@johnchase8510]

Thank you, This was a treat to hear! Many uears ago, Carl Verheyen turned into one of my favorite players after the first few bars.

[@dieterschanzer1744]

Wow!!....What great guitar playing...a joy to watch and listen to two great great great guitarists...fantastic thank you!

[@AmpAHolic-wn6mr]

Man, Carl’s been on my radar for ever. Such a monster player. Thanks for this video Tim!

[@paulvinova]

This was awesome. Both spectacular players. Always a pleasure to watch.

[@TonyMartinez]

Carl is one lf my fav players ever. If u wanna see crazy chords with the thumb take a look to Andre Nieri man ... such a brilliant player

[@stratorarious]

Oh man...mind blowing awesome good! : )

[@elvis_chen]

Two masters talk, I listen.

[@smokestackstudiosgem]

My 2 favorite guitarists doin what they do best. Killin it guys. Guitar Land and Atlas Overload are 2 of the greatest albums ever.😎🎸

[@kenboi169]

I amazed at Carl's knowledge of the neck. Knowing the notes at any point and intervals against his root note. I am saddened that I did not study more.

[@guitardudeguy3139]

Very beautiful style. Chords are everything! Mastering chord structure and harmony on his level is amazing! Nice country chops too!

[@RonZabrocki]

Who the hell are the the 5 people who don't like this? Or at least feel the need to express their dislike by hitting the thumbs down? Just a couple of great players and great guys sharing. Damn...there are some seriously sick people in the world.

[@No1Particular]

Ok. Guitar just got awesome again. Thank you Tim for making moments like this a reality. And doubly so for sharing freely with the guitar loving world. You are a beautiful soul. Both of you.

[@WizardOfArc]

It’s inspiring to see Tim learning

[@martyjames6204]

love it!! thanks

[@siegmac3267]

One word, AMAZING!

[@Sam-w9des]

Mind-blowing!!

[@getyaboogieon]

this is so mind boggingly good.. incredible stuff.

[@johnnytruck2009]

Thank you!

[@Eduaro2U]

Carl sure knows how to produce a big fat clean boss tone from his strat - I love that. Very nice player too.

[@paulmichaelsmith3207]

That Strat is a mint stock '65. He's also got a '61 and a '58. All killers.

[@michaelparson-mcnamara782]

Talk about Christmas in July! Thank you! thank you! thank you! I did feel like I was cheating when I tried that F# altered and got the high A with a cross fret bar. I think I will be happy with that! It reminded me of Joe Pass joking with all the guitar players sitting in front of him...….. This one is simply superb! Seems like a fun hang for you both!

[@chuckmasters781]

carl is to the guitar,as john wayne was to western movies.4 10 to 426. my god can he flow. clear and fresh.tim is so cool.taking advantage of carls knowledge. how could anybody not like that?

[@johndoc4483]

tim, thank you for your insight, tips, lessons, that i know will help me be a better player, many thanks...

[@ront8270]

Thanks I really got my groove on hear:)

[@AndresYepez]

Two of the best session players ever...

[@benvigil]

I still remember seeing him at MI in Hollywood all the time and then at the Baked Potato in N Hollywood back in the day! They didn't really touch on his intervalic playing, which is what really set him apart at the time. Awesome player!

[@Guitarrulez]

Wow , speechless 😲

[@alguitarchristie]

Carl Verheyen is amazing and such a smooth tone from a Strat, love it :)

[@alguitarchristie]

Who would give a thumbs down? A deaf person>??

[@ResponseAudio]

Cool lesson. And, the One Rainy Wish voicing from Jimi!

[@richardchamberlain2170]

Nice! Love the thumb

[@McphersonStompboxes]

Another stunner, awesome!

[@mikemcgraw2101]

Incredible!
