[@secondtribe]

Thanks so much for this. Very cool to see, how it looks from "guitarist perspective". What's the black strat Tim's playing? Is it Xotic?

[@timpierceguitar]

Yes, It's an Xotic Strat :)

[@secondtribe]

@@timpierceguitar Thank you! :)

[@MainPrism]

I was gonna say if not someone's rippin off their headstock!!! I bet that thing plays itself...

[@jw_au]

@timpierceguitar thanks for sharing, this is amazing

[@TheCyberMantis]

I thought it looked like a Suhr.

[@Ppuffdiddleydangdoof]

Maybe the most important lesson I took from this video is the least obvious: Notice the reactions to Tim as he walks along, greeting these legends these legends. "I love you Tim!" An indispensable nonmusical skill to being a successful studio musician is being a nice guy. You always get called for sessions because people want to work with people they like! In ever video Tim makes, he is having at least as much fun as any viewer I can imagine.

[@sirtogii5216]

Goes for most walks in life. There may be better coders, more numerical accountants, more intelligent managers but if you have social skills you're going to be more successful. Having watched Tim in countless interviews it's clear he's a genuine nice guy and very easy to work with.

[@CenterThePendulum]

Makes for a good life. Unfortunately the world also has a way of rewarding blind hubris and narcissism financially and with fame, especially in entertainment. As long was we support the people we want to see succeed across positive traits they get the love they earned.

[@sirtogii5216]

@@CenterThePendulum Those traits are (unfortunately) also required for innovation and development but I know the reasons why I'm doing Tim's Masterclass and nobody elses 🙂

[@joesatchton212]

As others have also said: just don't be a DIKK in any walk of life. Just be a decent, human being, which for so many people these days is so pathetically difficult, even moreso than being a professional and highly competent at whatever activity it is you are doing with other people. Well-said all the same. Problem is that people like you are NOT the ones who need this simple yet oh-so-critical reminder...

[@stephenmcnamara9928]

How is it possible, after watching so many of Tim's videos and taking his class, that he never ceases to amaze. Just another level of playing.

[@artemisXsidecross]

Thank you for showing true professional musicians at work; your video production was excellent as well 👍

[@timpierceguitar]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@1man1guitarletsgo]

It simply isn't possible to play at that level without the ability to read music and/or tab. If there's one thing I'd do differently if I had my time again, I'd learn to read music. You can only go so far playing by ear, and while I can get away with improvising in covers bands, as soon as it gets serious, I don't expect the call.

[@steven_scattergood]

Well said Artemis and a surprise hello.👍

[@glaucosouza1971]

What a blast to watch!! And sure some really valuable lessons learned. Thank you Tim!!

[@artemisXsidecross]

@@steven_scattergood Always good to see you too 👍

[@sjfamilomusic]

Not just knowing all these chords, sight reading, and knowing when to bring a part forward and not play "over" the other musicians is why this is PRO level work. Most guitarists can learn to "shred" with enough repetition and practice, but this is musicianship.

[@hmmmmm6034]

Damn Dean's rocking a squier and a revstar. That's awesome

[@JuanJaim]

That's a testament of how good those guitars can be!

[@jeg1972]

It does kind of prove that if you're good, you'll sound good even on mid-priced instruments.

[@brian91145]

It’s not the arrow it’s the Indian

[@marmelaki]

It could be of course that it has been heavily modified, but still... it caught my eye as well.

[@misterknightowlandco]

Revstars are surprisingly nice guitars for the money.

[@mjvicc1952]

Session musicians are the unsung heroes of the music industry. Thank you all for all you do ❤

[@usurper001]

The split screen was fantastic, great to see the relationship between parts and your relationship with the production.

[@Gregorypeckory]

I still hate the Grammys, but I see why it is so cool for the back line musicians; thanks for sharing the cool stuff that they leave out of the show! ❤

[@Phantom_Sailor]

It’s amazing to watch how world class professional musicians make it all come together. Thanks for sharing.

[@benburoker5192]

Tim: ‘This is the bulletproof nature of the level of these musicians..’ Also Tim: Is one of them but never shines the light on himself. It’s why you’re so great Tim.

[@eddieftw]

Man… the way Dean Parks right hand was LITERALLY dancing on that Laufey song.

[@claudevieaul1465]

1:17 Dean's feel is somewhere between BB King's and David Gilmour's, here... Gorgeous phrasing.

[@c5jp904]

So much fun to watch top professionals in their field make it look so easy. Whether it’s a pro musician, athlete, pilot, chef, nurse, etc. Very cool!

[@Pedro2706]

Wow-a joy to watch so many world class musicians in one place-brilliant

[@hedbband]

What a privilege to see and hear about these incredibly talented muscians behind the scenes. This is the Grammy's show I would prefer to watch.

[@MatthijsKoningstein]

Tim, that was simply amazing. That was just another league of musicianship.

[@ArtOfShredYT]

This was incredible to see. Thanks for the behind the scenes, Tim!

[@LodvarDude]

It's so fun seeing Megan and Rebecca (Larkin Poe) on this stage. Met them for the first time waaay back in the day when they toured with their older sister. I think Rebecca was just 18, if that. Met them a few times since then and they're always nice and and put on an amazing show with some great songs. Great to see these talented sisters doing so well. Looks like you had fun too, Tim! What a great place to be, playing with other amazing professionals!

[@vicvaughan997]

Wow. There's a lot going on there. I actually played the guitar on that Kirk Franklin song at our church, Washington Avenue Baptist Church in Springfield, MO., modulations and everything. It's a beast. Fun hearing you gents doing it.

[@timpierceguitar]

Amazing thanks for the comment!

[@10alexa10]

Now I know what professional looks and sounds like. Totally relaxed.

[@tonymarinelli7304]

I hate the Grammys that everyone sees not what you’re showing us. That was absolutely fantastic ❤❤❤ that Luther Vandross songs is one of my favorites of all time

[@Gilyslas]

You cats make it look so easy. But of course it's not it takes years of professionalism and discipline to be called for this kind of work. Thanks so much Tim you truly are an inspiration for so many of us.

[@RickBeato]

This is amazing Tim!! Love the behind the scenes 🔥🔥🔥

[@_alexsams]

Thank you for sharing each year Tim!

[@srt8speed]

You and Dean are FANTASTIC guitarists! Wow, blows my mind how effortless you make it look too! INCREDIBLE

[@butchmorrow3182]

Thanks for going into detail and giving us some background on what all Cheche Alara did for this to come off. What a task! 😳

[@jvz773]

So elucidating to see from this perspective. Thanks for taking the time and effort to capture this footage, edit and share it with us 🙏💛

[@shineoncoffee4772]

Thank you Tim. So kind for you to share. This was wonderful

[@slapitman]

So nice to see the Revstar getting its due. A great working instrument and excellent value. Also amazing to see Dean using a SQUIER at the grammy's - massive kudos to the team in developing instruments at a price point that just work so well.

[@toneocaster]

That was great! Thanks for taking the time to film this!

[@octb109]

What a wonderful look into the real orchestral world of your profession! Thank you Tim!

[@timpierceguitar]

Many thanks!

[@scottruffner7744]

Thank you for taking your time out of an incredible day of activity. The whole thing is so fast moving. I'm sure it must have been a lot of fun to see the thing unfold while being a part of it. That's definitely your wheelhouse, for sure. It's very smooth playing.

[@timpierceguitar]

Hey, thanks so much

[@timndel]

What an insightful look into the true meaning of musicianship! Thank you for capturing this magic that brings us all together, Tim.

[@stephenmcgauley]

This was so cool to watch with the side by side, and to be able to see all the details and nuance. Even just the way Tim manipulated the volume throughout the Jackson 5 there at the end. So many things that can be learned in this video. Thanks Tim.

[@richardsmits8597]

Thank you,Tim, for all of the effort to capture this. As much as I love you and Dean, as a bass player I would love to see what Lee is doing!!!

[@jtbracknell]

That was amazing to watch Tim. Never comment but felt I had to say how awesome it was to watch you guys playing together. Very cool brother man.

[@KenIn_NH]

From all of the hobbiest/amateur players out there, THANK YOU TIM! It's really amazing to see a real behind the scenes view of one of the largest music productions, and it happens every year! Awesome coverage and amazing musicians one and all. 🙏👏👏

[@johnwilliams2420]

That was one of the enjoyable videos I’ve watched since the dawn of Beato. You are extremely generous to share with us a behind the scene of a top pro musician at his best. May the musical Gods be with you always.

[@xxBlazinBobxx]

Very interesting to see from your perspective! I was watching how Dean's hands looked while playing and how it seemed so effortless and smooth! You both killed it! Loved the music selections, too!

[@grantrobertdavies]

Always love these Grammy videos :) A great lesson in rhythm guitar and groove from two masters :) Thank you Tim :)

Sheer craftsmanship - wonderful to watch. Thank you.

Tim... this is so cool to see how you worked together... Thank you for sharing...

[@MiddleMalcolm]

Outstanding! What a great look at what working with the best of the best is like! ❤ So many underestimate the demands of gigs like this, but the reward for pulling off a piece with that many modulations has to be absolute joy! These vids with folks like you and Lee are absolute must watch material.

[@timothysprinkle3052]

I think the way you guys play together is almost magical. I might prefer this part of the Grammy show! Thanks for posting.

Great stuff Tim, thanks for a great behind the scenes look, about the only aspect of the show I find interesting and entertaining. You and Dean on "From the Start" is remarkable.

[@chuckjillson1756]

Must be fun having a wonderful time playing with all those cats....what an experience for sure..you are so blessed Tim..Have a good day!!

[@Billywagner22]

Mad respect for you, Dean and the band of incredible musicians.

[@Antony_Jenner]

Awesome Tim, It's hard to appreciate the work that goes into all this.

[@dlux703]

This gig is so much fun to watch you do. Thanks for taking the time to shoot this year's event. The level of musicianship reminds me of a bandmate I had years ago who taught me so much. He was a doctor of music at UC Berkeley and was like a super computer sitting at a piano. I learned to read his left hand, as I was a bass player at the time, and when he realized I could just follow him, he took me to gigs I never thought I'd EVER get to play.

[@rickcuilty3345]

Tim you and Dean just Kill it on so many levels! Love the Tyler 335 dean is playin” Great share Tim… hope to see you again soon🎶🎸👍

[@danamoose1234]

How amazing that we get to see being the scenes like this! Such incredible players! Thank you for sharing the experience with us!

[@a.m.phaneuf6164]

Really great man, thnx. Also, love the way you started the video. You didn’t intro anything w/ a build-up, w/ bla, bla, bla, or a commercial or a pitch to donate money to you…you just started by getting to the point immediately.

[@theelectricvoyage]

Very generous of you to show this Tim, what more could you want as an interested musician to see close up what goes into these events and the quality on show.....91 songs! thanks man.

[@NateMortonDrums]

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY GOLD! Amazing Tim... seriously bro... WOW!

[@L.Scott_Music]

Truely a mind boggling gig. It all looks so effortless for the audience, but this insider looks shows it is everything but that. I was also thinking how cool this amazing music gig is about honoring musicians work.

[@onecarnivore]

Amazing. The effort going into this is immense. Hats off to everyone involved. If they had a show with all music and no award acceptances or talking, I'd watch, but this was a great substitute. =). thanks!

[@dvdinjp]

Thanks for sharing Tim. You and Dean are great. God bless you both

[@jameswhite5806]

Just watched this. Awesome stuff. I’ve done some of this kind of stuff on local variety shows, but this is like pitching a no hitter in the 7th game of the World Series. So well done Tim! Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
