[@pmunkey1]

This needs to become a regular show, just Tim and Rick talking about music.

[@Spartanm333]

... and playing. Thats missing here, whereas when Tim is on Norman's Rare Guitars, they talk and he plays either himself or with others. That's all thats missing here, and maybe a little about their chosen guitar (in the session) and why - not geeky but a a minute or two - it helps and guitarists are generally interested in what pickups, amp etc are used to get the tone.

[@tomholman4991]

i think keeping Davoderado is huge being on as well at RS on keeping things exciting as well

[@tressinar]

Harrier than that 😂

[@misterknightowlandco]

I think the most important thing Tim said in this was “I’m taking lessons online.” Tim’s played on records and had a career and he still takes lessons. Your never too old and you never know everything.

[@ericholdsworth6611]

Lessons for more than music, I wish more people did that.

[@steveinman1512]

@15:05 (-ish) ... I was astounded to hear him say that!

[@BrianShivaHaley]

Yes. Kudos to him. It shows a deep humility, and a constant curiosity and desire to keep improving. We can all learn from that!

[@isaack3645]

Honestly the fact that he said trying to keep his hearing is big to me. The movie “Sound of Metal” brings that point home.

[@newdeltamusic]

So many musicians have faces that look like they are in extreme pain when they are feeling it. I like how Tim's face lights up with joy when he plays something tasty.

[@kitdewd329]

One advantage of being on KZbin in your 60s is all of us viewers in our 60s who grew up at the same time with the same music and are enthralled when you take us back to revisit our lives through those songs. And there’s a big bonus for those of us who are musicians as well.

[@rolty1]

And us viewers in our 70s too!

[@moondawg3693]

It's really nice to relate with people and to me these guys and their interests is like hanging around with my closest friends, we just understand where we're coming from and where each of us are trying to go and we back each other directly and implicitly, whether we agree or not, that's special stuff. Cheers

[@baneverything5580]

I was in a car accident that erased a lot of my memories so I look at old Top 40 lists from the 60s/70s/80s (happened in 88) to try to remember my life. It erased my ability to play piano too but increased my ability to learn song lyrics.

[@downeybill]

I love these guys' mixture of humility and self assurance. No false modesty and not bragging either. Like proper pros.

[@TheSeeking2know]

It’s a delicate balance.

[@philbert006]

For real. Tim, talking about being in awe, sort of, around Bob Dylan but not hesitating to say well yeah! And zero hesitation confirming the no mistakes cause we are all pros. It's appropriate. When you're the best, it's rather important to be confident that you're the best. Just imagine if Tim Pierce never got interested in KZbin. All his amazing knowledge and experiences, all the easy confidence no matter what he is doing, all this amazing and interesting storytelling. It wouldn't be unknown, but it's for sure that millions of people would never benefit from it. It's a whole master class on how to be an s tier pro musician that is not the lead singer just watching him fool around and interact with these other pros in a "casual" setting.

[@miserychannel666]

Agreed. . . 100%

[@Joesfosterdogs]

Great thought

[@TheActionStack]

Even if your Jazz videos get fewer views, many of us still enjoy them :)

[@Draxtor]

I’m only here for the Holdsworth mentions 😅😅😅

[@nathanwolf5066]

I second this. I come here mostly for the jazz and steely dan stuff. Maybe we could get a video about Wayne Shorter?

[@ebx100]

Speaking of views, it seems to be getting harder to see how many views a video is getting

[@mtg101010]

Hey Rick, Waiting and waiting for the George Benson Video.... Pretty please...

[@ebx100]

Oh wait, they moved it down! Easier to read! That's the advantage of living in Asia. Nobody reads anything I say for many hours! Great video, BTW.

[@manfredbazarov6417]

Tim's description of playing with Dylan is terrifying. And I can't ever imagine having the ability to follow someone who is changing it up so much without screwing up all the time. I'm in awe of the talent of Tim and his fellow session guys.

[@mrcustom61]

Thats why Gary Moore didnt want to play with Dylan.... frivolous.

[@flazjsg]

Dylan's been a big joke for a long time. He pulled that act on the tour he did with the Grateful Dead - rehearsed a bunch of arrangements, then threw them out at the last minute i.e., on stage! I saw Dylan twice in the 1980s, I would never go again. He was awful. He destroyed all his arrangements, and melodies went right out the window, plus what little voice he had then was shot.

[@Tyrannosaurine]

That’s why Dylan basically only plays with next level guitarists from Bloomfield to Robby Robertson to Mick Taylor to Mick Ronson to Larry Carlton to Mike Campbell or to a lesser extent Jerry Garcia.

[@Spartanm333]

And this makes The Traveling Wilburys first album even more amazing. George Harrison went to Bob's to use his studio to record one track of his own with multi-instrumentalist Jeff (Mr ELO) Lynne in tow as a friend / second ear and to assist production. Tom Petty popped in for a chill, Jim Keltner was called (drums initially on kitchen utensils) and Roy Orbison was local to connect with Lynne for a project (Jeff a huge fan of Roys). Next thing they are jamming together and wrote / recorded seven songs in seven days... with Bob Dylan in his kitchen, porch, garage, some what natural and un-amped. Lynne would work with George on the final production for the album later but really, I cannot think of anyone else other than George Harrison who could have pulled this off - of all the Beatle's he was the most relaxed about his creative input and ego, and had formed the closest relationship with Bob early days as they both had similar formative influences - American crossover folk, country, field, blues like John Cash, Carl Perkins, Chet Atkins, Woody Guthrie and Chuck Berry. Bob clearly respected George as an artiste and managed to contain him. Lynne would later comment that he had to pinch himself, sat there playing with Bob Dylan and George Harrison, his hero Roy, Tom and Jim thinking how did this happen to me... these guys are all legends and I am this guy from Birmingham who writes pop songs.

[@Spartanm333]

@@mrcustom61 - Although he did play with another Wilbury, George Harrison who recognised he was more than a Gibson Les Paul and a Marshall stack*. George encouraged Gary to play acoustic more and widen his approach from rock / blues - he understood that from his time with Eric - they wrote Badge together for example - who had arguably been going the same way with Mayall / Cream... nothing wrong with a blazing blues solo but Eric had more to give and would show it. Eric has mentioned several times in interviews that Harrison was one of his idols. Wah Wah indeed. * Not dissing Gary at all, arguably one of the greatest guitarists of all time and in terms of rock / blues up there with Duane Allman, SRV, Eric, Walter Trout, Jeff beck. I saw him live when he toured with B.B. King and he was sensational.

[@fredrikoscar4741]

No TV-show is better than this! I love professional people talking about things they love. So much joy!!!

[@SonnyGreenwichJr]

I had an AR man tell me to change the drums for a song I was working on. He came back the next day and I said "Here's the song with the new drums," he listened approvingly, he loved it. I hadn't changed a thing...

[@jaylozier4083]

Like Leland Sklar’s “Producer’s Switch” or Tommy Tedesco ducking below the baffle and pretending to play a different string instrument between takes, which was just the same guitar, played differently.

[@bluecrueful]

Was your Dad the great great guitarist, Sonny Greenwich?

[@SonnyGreenwichJr]

@@bluecrueful He still is! He's 87yrs old...

[@Bryt25]

That is quite scary considering how much control he had. Well done ;-)

[@aliensporebomb]

[@ciro0107]

Being a Brazilian, watching your jazz videos is one the only sources that I can really trust, Rick. Please keep doing these, I love them

[@Craig_Fussell]

Love this conversation! A word came to mind when Tim discusses his career being hired to play on others records that goes beyond being “the guy who sounds like the band” … Responsiblity. People can tell when you really care about what you are being paid to do for them vs. phoning it in for the check. Tim is “good people” as we say in the South. 👍🏻

[@codyaliff3620]

Rick, I just bought your Beato Book and I just want to say, I am blown away by how much information is there. The fact that it has audio examples to go with lessons makes it worth every penny and then some. Thank you for the work that went into making it!

[@elenbrandt290]

I don't know how Tim can bring more joy to the party.... he is a great big mountain of joy, with smile icing. Love it!

[@aardvarkusrex]

Guys, I'm 73 and still working hard at what I love doing - guitar. I'm subscribed to both of you. You "youngsters" inspire as well as educate me! If you stay young at heart, chronological age doesn't matter.

[@jimwar1890]

One year younger than you. Feel blessed to grow up during the golden years of electric guitar. These guys illustrate true musicianship and virtuosity. Keep practicing!

[@Londonjefsomething]

Jazz is what attracted me to your channel in the first place. It's opened my eyes to the structure of songs I've loved all my life and never really known why. Now I hear a song and I hear a 2nd or a maj7 chord or a funky mode and I'm like: oooh! Wow! I never caught that before! Now I know why I love this song!

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

The album Wichita Lineman was the only record my dad ever owned that he would listen to. Any other record was bought for my mom or us kids. So I ripped it onto a CD so he could listen to it in his car. It had a 5 CD changer with just that CD in it. I ripped a bunch of his other "faves" like Elvis and Slim Whitman and tried to get him to venture out a little bit, but they never left the jewel cases. When Tim mentioned that, it was kind of a shocker. I had not thought of that album since he passed in 2017. A whole bunch of memories came flooding back in a wave. Good call Tim. That was real time machine fuel

[@acousticaacousticduo1458]

Tim mentioned Burt Bacharach. The Bill Frisell album “The Sweetest Punch: The Songs of Costello and Bacharach Bill Frisell” is an amazing album.

[@ralphmunn1685]

Two of my favorite people from the music world here. It's not just because of their immense talent, which I'll never be able to emulate; it's their positive attitudes, which is something we all can (and likely should) strive for! 🙏

[@jacobcable2718]

So good you and Tim together at Tim’s house talking shop, it just does not get any better. Thank you both for everything you guys do and have done though the years. It makes being a musician much more fun to be a fly on the wall privy to your conversations. Please go as long as you can.😇

[@markdavich5829]

I was always a bit surprised that many of the country and rock musicians I was enamored with played jazz in their free time - I used to horse around at an open mic jam at a local bar near Redding and every once in a while, Merle Haggard's band members would come around when they had some free time and barrow our instruments for an hour or so - They always played jazz.

[@Steve.Dennis]

I love to hear Tim talking about learning and wanting to keep getting better as a guitar player. That inspires me!!

[@SeanTWright]

I'm in my 60s (63) and I love and agree with all you guys are saying! Great discussion guys, great discussion.

[@kevinmichiko]

Just want to let you guy’s know that I really enjoy your KZbin content! I turned 67 on the 20th of January and I started playing guitar at the age of 16 in 1972, I’m so inspire to keep learning after all of these years because of the both of you! PLEASE keep the video’s coming ❤

[@jimsalman7257]

The Mamas and the Papas records from the mid-60s were extremely well produced. ( I’m guessing Wrecking Crew musicians.) And those 4-part harmony vocals are sublime.

[@louiebee6745]

Wrecking Crew is indeed correct. You can hear the distinct sound of Joe Osborn on bass and Hal Blaine on drums on those great Lou Adler productions.

[@ischmidt]

Wrecking Crew musicians and Bones Howe producing. Same people as the Fifth Dimension, who also had great harmony vocals.

[@Bryt25]

I even love the slight tape pitch irregularity on "I saw her Again" and the false start is fabulous, such character!

[@sapelesteve]

[@jimwillcox9431]

Rick, love Wes Montgomery. He was the gateway drug to me starting to “get” jazz. His octave stuff opened a door for me to step through.

[@g_and_kikos_homestudio]

I love when you two guys get together. Rick your interest in the LA studio session days and the questions you ask really pulls all the information I want to hear from Tim out so well. I'd love to hear Tim talk more about taking little parts and layering counter parts (harmonies, octaves or call and response) over them to build a great track. I think it's so cool how you can just start small and build great songs in the studio and Tim is one of the best. Great convo guys...😎🎸

[@lantose]

Fyi - check out Andrew Synowiec’s channel for a new studio recording video with Tim playing rhythm and some great lead solos. Albuquerque Blues is awesome and Tim and Andrew go toe to toe in a solo dual! (Just dawned on me that he may have written the song about Tim as he was from Albuquerque?). Anyway, Andrew was on Tim’s show not too long ago and is a top notch session guitarist in LA! There are at least three other songs that Tim plays on that are listed. You may have already seem them! If you like it share with your friends as I think Tim needs a little credit for this phenomenal performance!

Love ya Rick! I’ve been watching your podcast for about three years now and you’re a huge inspiration to me!

Thank you so much for sharing it’s truly a privilege to get to hear what you have to say. Peace.

Totally true about the ego thing! I've done work for people where I thought "this is excellent" and been asked to do something completely different. And you can *feel* your first idea was better, and almost feel like going "you should get someone else". Being able to suppress that and up your game can be hard, but often pushes you to write something even better.

[@2kanchoo]

I'll never forget being 11 in fifth grade and trading a few acdc cassettes for nevermind. I had no influences to know such music. It was truly life changing. It blew my fucking mind.
