@@Thesongstaysthesame One of the things that I've learned is that if you are unable to surround yourself in person with people who know more than you, then actively seeking them out is the next best option, and having this here is an invaluable resource. One of the best ways that I have found to learn to get better at anything is to really listen to what those who know what they are talking about and have experience have to say. The amount of small bits of insight that can be used later on is far more valuable than people think.

I was just talking to an old music buddy about some of the topics you're discussing. I've been playing guitar 49 years. The other day I was in my studio just staring at my guitars as if I was at and Art gallery. The same guitars that I've had for years and years yet I stare at them as if it was the first time I've seen them. I have the same amount of enthusiasm and love today about playing and guitars as I did when the lightning bolt first went through me as a young teen. That Penguin Tim is holding is giving me heart palpitations. Great Interview.

I went to Fairport and Ithaca too, then found out Rick the Sicilian came from the greater Rochester area (gee ya think?) and attended the same schools, maybe 4 years behind me. Mentioned it to some Fairport friends recently, and they already knew all about Rick. I had a few bands in Rochester. I also was at Shorts Bar in Fairport one night, and who was sitting there all alone at the bar but Lou Gramm? Had a nice conversation with him. One more of many rock stars I seem to run across every so often. Foreigner played a local party in Rancho Santa Margarita here in Southern California, that I got invited to, so I wore a "House of Guitars" T-shirt and after the concert we ended up hangin' with the band after they saw my T-shirt and said "Hey are you from Rochester?" When I see these videos from Rick and Tim I feel privileged to be let inside, behind the curtain, to see how the sausage is made! Very inspiring. :)

Rick, these conversations with Tim go way beyond music. Asking why you still want this gear even though you’re not going to use it for a session is something we can all relate to: a nagging “want” that we suspect is a distraction from more important things but that we just can’t shake. I also think that you’ve established so much cred you could produce whatever and however you want now. I don’t know the specifics of the system you were beholden to as a producer, but I’d think new artists would be beating down your door for the chance to work with you. Finally, with regard to making videos on jazz, rock, classical, etc. your enthusiasm for all things music is why I watch. Don’t overthink it. Whatever your excited about is the only relevant criteria. 👍

This is seriously next-level stuff. I would've started this video out by saying to just practice first. You don't know what playing ahead of the beat or behind the beat means until you can play on the beat. I didn't realize I could play in the pocket until an esteemed musician friend gave me that compliment. I'm happy to have made it to that milestone, but I still have no idea how to play ahead or behind the beat. It took me 20 years to just play ON THE BEAT. When I watch a lot of video tutorials on "how to play song X", I'm always impressed by the ear training and the fingering. But I can almost always hear the lack of solid timing. I often hear them playing ahead of the beat I think, because they are not relaxed and maybe over-anxious. Anyway, I don't even know what my damn point was. Just keep practicing. And maybe Rick can give us a video about how to play ahead of or behind the beat.

People, take note -- everything in this conversation is pure gold. The nuance in timing, particularly how far back into the pocket everyone played, that Tim is talking about is, to me, the best-kept secret to understanding three decades of pop recording brilliance. Muscle Shoals, Nashville, LA, Memphis, Detroit, they all had this quality and it isn't talked about enough. The pocket shift forward that Tim talks about is one of the tragic developments in music and one of the subtle, profound reasons music doesn't sound as good these days even though the recording technology and technique of the players are higher than they've ever been. We really lost the warmth, feel...the humanity of pop music when the shift to the grid happened.

This is so interesting. When I used to gig that’s exactly what I discovered. Used to love being just a little behind then rush a little to end it where it needed or not rush it, and it sounded so good most of the time. But this could be very tricky and it’s a form of secret art. I didn’t know it was actually a concept once. Now I release it came to me unconsciously from all those records.

Edit: so it does seem like it's the beat -- so why is this a bad thing for pop music?

While living in Los Ángeles I was fortunate to work with long time Tim’s friend ...the late Ramón Stagnaro, the nylon guitarist extraordinaire (even Tim made a video about him) and he was exactly what Tim is talking about here. He would come to my small sessions, independent artists with a super pro attitude. Pro sound and always in the pocket. He would go as “ play me the song as I’m setting up my guitar,...” then he would say again “..let me play the tune one way through it..” then 2 more tracks and ta-ta !!!...job done. The problem....then I couldn’t select the lines ....all of them where pieces of art ....literally....a shame not letting them sound in the mix !!! I miss you Ramon...we all !!!!!!!!!

@Tyrannosaurine

@@Acujeremy 1. “some of my most favorite” does not mean “as good as it gets”. Did you read “some of my most favorite” and think that “some” meant “as”, “of” meant “good”, “my” meant “as”, “Most” meant “it” and “favorite” meant “gets”? That’s an odd way to read it. Some of my favorite food is pizza, but I wouldn’t call it the best food ever made. Is it an issue with actual reading? Is it a reading comprehension problem? Are you unable to understand it conceptually? 2. The guitarist wasn’t Rick Springfield, it was Tim Pierce. Is Tim Pierce not a good enough guitarist for you? 3. So your opinion about this particular album is valid, but the OP’s opinion is not? I really don’t understand. Please help me understand.

I’ve been a drummer all my life. No I’m learning how to become a bass guitar player. I bought an acoustic left-handed guitar because Rick got me so interested in music theory is a whole. Almost every KZbin video that Rick puts out is just so inspiring I keep watching him I just can’t get enough. He has been there and lived this and he has these people on that have been there and did all this originally it’s so incredibly interesting I just can’t get enough.

I love Tim's view on the availability of the best equipment. It's cool to see someone so big in the industry say that he wants everyone to be able to have access to the stuff that the big time pros rely on. Personally, he's the reason I picked up the odr-1 a few years ago, and he's also the reason I got myself a danelectro roebuck too. I love hearing from the pros what things are actually viable and dependable in the field and on records. To me, I take solace in knowing that I'm using the same readily available tools as some of the greatest session musicians around. Like, I am CERTAIN that there are good sounds to be had if I put in the work as a player and hone my own craft. It's the same reason I bought a fender p bass as my first primary bass when I was in middle school lol. Give me steady Eddie reliability over "mojo" any day. Seriously, it's so incredible to me to see my modern heroes using stuff as their bread and butter and find that those things aren't priced out the ass or rare beyond imagination.

Plus, he is full of knowledge, and just a pretty good guy on top of it all. Great video!

The string muting thing is clutch! After all, the acoustic guitar started as a rhythm/percussion-type instrument, so muting strings and chop rhythms are how it all began!!! I, for one, have to work on the lighter touch -- I prefer vintage frets, so when I play a modern guitar with fat frets, I notice how hard I'm pressing, as some notes get a little messy or out-of-tune (although probably not noticeable to a non-musician).

This a great video. Watched it a few times. So much to learn. I’m a bassist so I’m coming from their point of view about timing and drums. I’ve been listening for a while about behind the beat etc. Years. I’ve played in many bands. Not all but most it seems that the keyboard and guitar players do not listen to the drums or bass. As far as timing. They’re singing and playing in their own world. Keys playing his version of time an accents. And the guitarist the same. So most of the time it’s three different accents or whatever going on. Bass and drums against the other two who aren’t in lockstep. I totally get when Tim said behind the best or follow the grid. One band when were practicing I told them if everyone wou 42:30 ld hit in the middle of the beat it would be powerful. Guitar player laughed at my remark. Not that we didn’t try to fix it.
