[@andytimmonsguitar]

Thanks so much for the kind words everybody...I'm honored ❤

[@williams.1130]

My favorite guitar player hands down. You and Tom Bukovac i watch you guys on an unhealthy level lol. Im dying to hear that album you talked about Bitter Suites the outlier nocturnes!!

[@dpeltz]

Hell yeah Andy!!! Thanks Brett Papa for another awesome video!!

[@mikeking453]

Such a beautiful and sexy tone

[@trinityludustv8413]

Andy please share the wiring diagram for your guitar!

[@christophorhill2320]

I took your advice about vocal lines to heart...God Only Knows by the Beach Boys, as you said, is an education in itself. I'm a huge fan of Stevie Wonder, so that's what got to me first, BUT...lol...I challenge anyone to try Hopelessly Devoted by the great lady from Australia. (Tears showed up before I could get to the second verse.) Thanks for continuing to inspire us , not only with your playing, but also with your extremely well developed sense of humor. 👊🙂

[@HeartcoreMusic]

The World is definitely a better place with Mr. Timmons, thank you Papa!

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing! Thanks for watching!

[@ew6629]

Andy Timmons has one of the best tones along with his brilliant melodic playing style. Thanks to Brett for hosting and keeping the subject matter always interesting with insightful questions and humor. Awesome!

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing! Thanks for watching!

[@bwall615]

Came back to watch this again. Andy is one of my all time favorites. His phrasing, tone, and melodies are top notch!

[@andytimmonsguitar]

Hey Brett! Enjoyed our hang...looking forward to another session soon!

[@BrettPapa]

Any time!

[@bubbabuckwheat]

Andy is one of the best guitar players ever. Such an inspiration. Brett's courses are awesome. Well worth a look.

[@BrettPapa]

Thank ya sir!

[@alexmbrenner]

Saw him in 1992 at a National Guitar Workshop. He’s the real deal. Best tone ever. He’s a national treasure. So good.

[@BrettPapa]

Haha for sure!

[@briancrumpacker]

I was at the NAMM show in 1995 in Anaheim and saw Andy playing a scheduled demo out on the floor. It really stayed with me, as I think that was the first time I recognized seeing a musician in person making music through his guitar as opposed to just performing or repeating something that had been practiced over and over. Bravo.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for watching!

[@riccardofioretti9743]

What a beautiful chat with passion, love and laugh about music. All those feelings truly reveals in that amazing tone, feel and touch whenever Andy Timmons plays a single line. Thanks Brett.

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing! Thanks so much for watching!

[@rockingstar3534]

Andy timmons tone is almost instant recognisable. Can't miss that. His playing is so melodic that it sounds like a guitar is singing instead of a vocal.

[@BrettPapa]

Good point!

[@ajlsrv5490]

Saw Andy at a small club here in CT a few years ago. The man is truly limitless. Best live guitar playing I’ve ever seen. Vai? Nope. Satriani? Nope. Malmsteen? Nope. EJ? Nope. Bettencourt? Nope. And I worship all of them ….

[@BrettPapa]

He is fantastic! Super humble as well! More coming soon!

[@ronmorey3475]

Andy is an absolute master of melody. Thank you Brett!

[@BrettPapa]

Agreed! You are welcome!

[@DB-uf6md]

the master of tone, conjurer of emotions.

[@BrettPapa]

Yep for sure!

[@garymoore5044]

Andy's style and sound is so unique, expressive and possibly one of the best a list teachers, I have learnt so much from his finding melody with one finger, one string video lesson A huge influence

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for watching Gary! And yes Andy is amazing!

[@blakegilliam8223]

First of all thank you Brett Papa for this awesome teaching lesson that you put together and thank you Andy Timmons for his time and effort. I'm not going to get weird on y'all but this is just moving me to slow down and to get my playing on that another level. I won't say your level but I will say on higher level. It's very humbling to hear y'all play and commit to whatever it takes to enjoy and play guitar on higher levels. I Thank both of you for that. if I'm still alive, there's still room to grow and get glimpses of what y'all do

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing Blake! Thanks for tuning in!

[@toploadtele]

Andy is the man and his new record is crazy good! I've had his HALO since is was first released... its divine!

[@BrettPapa]

Yep agreed on all fronts. He did a great Halo demo over here that is coming soon!

[@ralvknights]

Keep rocking Andy. Your melodic soul shines. Thank Brett you did an amazing interview and touched on the love for music we all can unite on that.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks so much Rolo!

[@Wadey1960CS]

You so titled the video correctly! Andy is such a inspirational and passionate musician. Thanks for sharing Brett!

[@BrettPapa]

You are welcome!

[@Gwynbleidd_0]

Hey brett you’re killing it with these videos, I’ve learned so much from you the last couple weeks!

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks! Glad they are working out for ya!

[@randybryant1141]

Brett always does great interviews and Andy is my favorite player... this is excellent! Thanks!!!

[@hearpalhere]

This was so much fun to listen to guys. Nicely done Brett, you get the best guests and they provide the best lessons. Thank you!

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks so much! Glad you like the videos!

[@rocketguy2]

Two of my favorite instructors...Thanks again for another cornucopia of inspiration!

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing Gary! Thanks for watching!

[@maurocasanova9929]

I love that stuff he keeps on his leg to mantain the right guitar position!!!!

[@BrettPapa]

Yeah it was pretty cool. Never had seen one before that.

[@dnamusicchallenge5995]

This is what i wanna learn. Melodic and dynamic soloing...almost like it is singing. You are awesome sir.

[@BrettPapa]

We are having Andy back soon. I’ll see what we can do.

[@colinrowe7593]

Simply jaw droppingly good Andy cheers mate

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for tuning in Colin!

[@rogereijk2612]

Thanks Brett, I love AT. There once was a wise man that said ‘I only know one thing, and that is that I know nothing’. I bet Andy agrees with this, being as humble as he is. And then his beautiful melancholic musical soul, I bet there were many more people crying (me being one of them) during that session on TPS. Playing that part is one of the items on my Bucket List 🤪😂 Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you both!

[@ron3676]

Met Andy Timmons back in 1993 0r 1994,,,at Guitar summer workshops in New Milford CT. Andy was doing the Danger Danger thing. Brett,,, thanks for having Andy on. - RJ.

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing!

[@UpliftingRiffs]

Yes amazing. Andy is amazing. Pedal sounds amazing.

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@graemero5532]

Cheers Brett. You have the best guests on the tube 😁

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for checking them out.

[@mdmusic2130]

You guys are two incredible musicians and guitarists! Soul, feel and swing! Every time I think about bending i automatically associated with David Gilmour… now i have this awesome video to get inspiration from you both too! Thanks for doing it! 🤟🏻🔥🎶🎸

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing! Thanks for checking it out!

[@greenstratguy]

Great video guys, Andy's playing on That was then, this is now still inspires me to work harder on my playing. Blown away by the halo pedal in every demo!

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for checking it out Joe!

[@jrkoosh]

Brett thanks so much for this. Andy is my dude.

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing Jeff! He is scheduled to come back soon. Gonna be awesome!

[@jrmakawoody]

Loving all of the guests recently. Tommy, Guthrie, now Andy (my all time favorite)!

[@BrettPapa]

Glad you like the vids! Thanks for watching!

[@wmot206]

Great stuff throughout, but Andy doing "Strawberry Fields Forever" at 45:54 is worth the price of admission by itself! :)

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for checking it out Tom

[@joemiller9856]

Amazing playing and tone !

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for watching!

[@dragon43inf]

Andy is just amazing! Great video

[@BrettPapa]

Agreed! Thanks for watching!

[@roderickgful]

Great video, as always Brett!

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for tuning in!

[@timchalmers1700]

Great conversation filled with musical wisdom. Hoping to find the Halo demo.

[@BrettPapa]

Halo demo coming soon!

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

Andy is just one of those next level players.

[@BrettPapa]

For sure!

[@goswo]

Andy is such a fine Gentleman and gosh…. what an artist. Oh boy… BTW Brett, probably the longest way from the neck pu to the bridge pu, ever. Its not over yet, maybe we get there…. 😀😀

[@ashleyjackson8538]

Amazing Timmons magic

[@MesaGuitarGuy]

thanks Brett and Andy!

[@BrettPapa]

Sure thing!

[@mojo6778]

Andy's Strawberry Fields sampling was amazing! Such a great video!!!

[@BrettPapa]

For sure!

[@RebelTheUncanny1]

Wonderful upload, Man! Thank you.

[@BrettPapa]

You are welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@partriotsfight5039]

25:20 is a total Richie Kotzen kinda thing. It’s such a great way to get better & if you really apply it you’re going to get awesome. Period. Good topic Andy

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@Mike-rw2nh]

7:19 Time stamp for my own edification. As you were ladies & gents.🥳 20:20 phrasing. 31:03

[@danialmr5960]

Keep up the great work

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks!

[@tommyraper3895]

Thanks Brett and Andy, really enjoyed it, got familiar with Andy on That Pedal Show and can't believe that I am recently discovering him, I have some catching up to do!

[@BrettPapa]

We all do haha. Andy is a beast!

[@Jamzocd]

Great interview! I’ve been a fan of Andy for some time and this is a treat.

[@BrettPapa]

Glad you liked it James! Thanks for watching!

[@willetgee]

Great video, Andy seems like such a nice guy. The thing is you never see Andy and Michael McKean (lead singer for Spinal Tap) together, strange....thanks guys

[@jonhstark2949]

Cheers Andy, pure feeling. One of the bests. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇧🇷

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for watching John!

[@Murphy_R9]

This guy is in a totally different league!🤘anyway when i first started not knowing much at that time i used to focus way to much on visual playing and not ear playing. It was not until years later i started playing more from the ears than the eyes. The problem i had playing visually i was just seeing in shapes and my playing sounded very one dimensional.

[@BrettPapa]

Yeah that happens to a lot of us.

[@jeffrey.a.hanson]

Brett is the Howard Stern interviewer of guitar. AT is simply a brilliant player, but cooler guy. No ego.

[@BrettPapa]

Interesting haha

[@giuliko]

Mais uma aula de Harmonia com o mestre.

[@mikec8815]

Need to do some lessons with Andy.

[@BrettPapa]

Everyone does haha!

[@yikelu]

It's funny. I actually cite Yngwie for influencing my vibrato and people give me weird looks for it. But if you listen to it, he actually has a really cool vibrato. And I agree with literally everything Andy said. Ears ears ears. And do 10 times more learning by ear after that. Learning vocal melodies. Wish more guitarists would do that.

[@BorostateBlues]

Dig Andy’s playin and general disposition

[@BrettPapa]

Yeah great guy and fantastic player!

[@uv777gr]

Can we get Andy and Bukovac in the same room? =) Good stuff Brett!

[@BrettPapa]

Ah that would be something! I will see what I can do.

[@jonathanstrand2474]

Vocal lines? …& horn lines, piano lines, aka melody lines, but different instruments (voices) teach you different approaches, I found that very helpful when I finally got around to guitar lines

[@BrettPapa]

Makes sense

[@transparent6748]

50min flies just like that when you’re entertained,,thanks guys 😊

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@gskh]

Dimarzio DP187 is amazing. Thanks Andy-

[@BrettPapa]

Yep for sure. His guitar sounds amazing!

[@atarijam]

Andy Timmons from Danger Danger? He used to be my fav guitarist bk from when I was a kid!

[@BrettPapa]

More from Andy coming soon!

[@SeeCSeesCC]

❤Brett

[@BrettPapa]

Right back at ya!

[@Sam-n2f5q]

Can u adjust the delay volume for each preset. So if u play rythem & go to lead can u adjust the volume more louder for lead. Or is it all the same volume

[@rareform6747]

Fun wonderful great sounding funny all in one ...Beck " A Day in a Life " Where were You " I just about melted on Strawberry Fields !

[@BrettPapa]

Haha. Thanks for tuning in!

[@kfliegner]

No one better at making the guitar cry and sing.

[@BrettPapa]

He is pretty freakin amazing!

[@miguelsebastianduarte5727]

Great video. I couldn't get the reference to a guitarist who sings while he plays a solo in his record. Can somebody give me a hand?

[@ahrdal]

Just love the talking!!! (among all the great guitar-playingI)

[@BrettPapa]

Thanks for watching!

[@WhitAnderson70]

Andy makes it look so damn easy...

[@arekszajner7541]

No , Its damn hard and difficult Like hell ...ufortunely

[@BrettPapa]

Very true!

[@deweydecimal1446]

He's the rock melody master

[@BrettPapa]

For sure!

[@smoker0081]

Hello Brett, do you know how Andy setup his tremolo?

[@BrettPapa]

No but I’m sure he has mentioned it somewhere. He is coming back in soon so I can ask him

[@smoker0081]

@@BrettPapa Thank you for fast response 🤝 Someone say he has "decked", someone says he has "float"- tremolo setup.

[@smoker0081]

@@BrettPapa sooo, i asked him on instagram. He played many year decked tremolo, now it is slightly float. 😎

[@keithdavis5464]

What do you call the cradle you use at the bottom of the guitar to keep upright

[@BrettPapa]

He talks about it later in the video

[@MichaelAntus]

Much respect Brett...

Sure thing Michael!

[@BrettPapa]

All great!

[@Socializedbyantisocials]

What is the thing raising his guitar on his leg?

[@BrettPapa]

He talks about it later in the video I believe.

H talks about it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXS3h6djYs1-f7c

[@andytimmonsguitar]

It's called the Performaxe...guy in Italy makes them...it has really improved my practice sessions by eliminating tension in my right leg kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJ-WnIWCfrSapac

[@ashleyjackson8538]

I’ve convinced m myself that every home ( my home ) needs 4 guitars and a Mesa Boogie amp . Minimum .

[@buck7477]

Seems like all Delay pedals are too difficult! The first and most important setting that I want is that sweet soft Rock solo Delay! 2nd I want is to sound like the Outfield Delay! The U2! then just a straight up wet Christian Rock solo! Firefall! Pure Prairie League! Poco.

[@BrettPapa]

The Halo does all of that!

[@Murphy_R9]

That Halo setting definitely Eliminates the need for any reverb for me.

[@BrettPapa]

Totally!

[@vintagebluenote8564]

Why is he not using his last guitar?

[@davidb0064]
