One of the most overlooked and underrated players of our time. I love Andy Timmons. “Fantastic” player.

i think hes just unknown. because it takes 2 mins of listening to confirm his skill level and passion.

Hi, I have been a fan of Jeff Beck since the early 70s and seen him live several times. He is one of my favorites. All the best, Larry DiMarzio

Hi, If I could play like anyone that I wanted to (and could only choose one) it would be Jeff Beck. I still want to do a photo session with him as well. All the best, Larry DiMarzio

Andy is awesone not just because of his ridiculous talent, technique and ultimate feel but because he's humble and just and an ordinally guy who loves his instrument and those that brought it to him.

One of the most incredible guitar players.

It's so beautiful seeing a musician with such a true connection with music, not just scales and notes. Andy's playing is breathtaking. There are so few like him out there.

I was fortunate enough to have met Andy in person after an Olivia Newton-John concert in 2012. Me, him, and a mate chatted backstage for two hours about music, gear, the Beatles, and just life in genera - a very inspiring two hours. Before we left, he reached into his pocket and grabbed us a couple of his guitar picks. It was my happiest day in recent memory.

I got to jam with him at a NY club in '90 or '91 and I was impressed at what a cool guy he was. I doubt he would even remember but we played a Bad Company tune (I think) and maybe ZZ Top....apparently I don't remember either. Ha! So nice to see a good guy and great player have success.

I've been a fan of Andy Timmons for several years going back to his days in Danger Danger ! This guys a monster player as you all can see ... wow , just wow !

AT is squeezing so much emotion out of every note, this is really amazing

Ronin 77 exactly my thought a moment ago ...

The absolute most gut wrenching version of this song I've ever heard. It hurts.

Such a tasteful guitarist. I love the way that Andy doesn't shred and throw out notes for the sake of it - obviously he could do that all day long - but he chooses to work the notes & his phrasing is exceptional. Truly talented guy & a uniquely interesting musician to listen to. Long may he continue.

I had exactly the same experience a few years ago, when I went to see Jeff Beck live in Mainz (Germany).

This guy is awesome. He is feeling it and doesn't care what else is going on anywhere. It is beautiful.

Best comment amongst so many really great ones.

Andy is one of the most accomplished guitarists out there! He has everything, most importantly he has impeccable taste, tone, and style. He obviously has world class technique but always uses it in the service of the music, so impressed with him!! Definitely one of my favorite guitarists of all time!

I was fortunate enough to have a lesson with Andy. He lives in the same town as me. Incredibly talented person and the nicest of guys.

I witnessed the miracle that is Andy at the recent G4 Experience guitar camp in Cambria, CA in August 2014. I have to say he stole our hearts. The guys plays with such passion and lyricism - and awesome chops which he uses tastefully, not gaudily. In person he is one of the sweetest guys - sincere, humble, appreciative.

Chris Sommers I agree brother. I was there as well and he was a joy to be around and his playing was eye opening.

Andy Timmons is awesome player and very nice person! Thanks to Ibanez for making the best guitars in the world, thank you Larry for making the best pick ups in the world! Greetings from Croatia! :)

wow this was, tone full on melodic, and he was dead on about beck ,he is a must see for guitar players

Saw Jeff Beck at the Ryman last Year. Front row balcony. If anyone knows the original Ryman, that is tonal bliss seating. I laid back, propped up my feet and witnessed the juggernaut of Beck! To this day, by far the most amazing guitar performance I've seen. Jeff talked only twice for maybe 20 seconds max. Played for 3 hours!

What can you say about Jeff Beck ....he's the master of in yer face space guitar! Andy Timmons has that emotional guitar gift, luv him!

I was there, so fortunate to see him in such a great venue. Jeff Beck was always so original even covering someone else’s music. He always brought something new and inspiring to the song. He will be forever missed, especially for those of us who saw him live over the many decades of his career.

Way back in '95 or '96, I met Andy at a CD release in Dallas, TX. I showed up way early and caught him as he was setting up, had a great chat with him and he even showed me how a particular arpeggio worked in one of his recordings. Such an amazing player, such a humble and approachable person. Fan for life!

I've never seen such emotive playing. He is an absolute master of his instrument.....all the while barely looking at it. I'm sure we can all relate when he says he 'teared up' watching Jeff Beck. What an inspiration. Someone should start carving the the Mount Rushmore of guitarists. His place would be more than deserved. Every interview I've seen him in he's the most genuine 'im happy to be here with you' kind of guy. It'd be an honour to meet him.

I wish Andy and his band would come to NYC. I have turned so many people on to his playing and to see him live would be such a great experience! .

now this is balanced guitar playing. very expressive and emotional!

andy is a real musician, master on guitar too, he never had bad taste in his career. he's just too good for ordinary rock bands.same league as satriani and vai, shame he's not as famous outside the guitar playing world because he deserrves so

An absolutely incredible display of guitar musicianship, skill and expression that I have ever witnessed on this planet . A lifetime of guitar mastery on display and one of the most humble people I have ever met. Totally beyond words. Absolutely beautiful and stunning at the same time. A true master of the instrument and he’s not done yet . Wow !

A hearty Thank You for the up... just gorgeous and real in-the-moment music

A single note by Jeff Beck is almost a mini composition unto itself.

That was back when he came around Denton Tx to play at the Library and at Alexanders. I met him through friends that had bands he jammed with. Funny thibg , I talked to him about Jeff Beck back then. But I also talked with him about many other musicians. I was happy for him when I saw that a few years later he was becoming successful.

man his tone,touch,phrasing feel,just INCREDIBLE!!!

Great chops amazing guitar player rock on Andy !

Thank you sooooo much for this!

watching this video make me goosebumps... soo beautiful....

Beautifully said - and beautifully played. And great tone - wonderful tone.

every note has his signature on it...AT is truly a Master Electric Guitarist in every sense of the title.

Love Andy, he's so expressive, my first introduction to him he immediately became a favorite of mine, being a guitar player I can more than appreciate him, from his mind blowing technical expertise, to his composing/ song writing, he's a very humble and down to earth all around great guy and the world of music is a better place because he's a part of it👍🏼✌🏼️

Andy your practice and dedication has paid off. Your technical ability is fantastic but your phrasing and touch, your expression is also excellent and soulful. Keep up the great work.

This song. The BEST. Thanks Andy.

Saw him two years ago and I was on verge of tears some three or four times. Just a beautiful guitarist and musician.

he has always this nice warm guitar tone, i love it. Reminds me of Eric Johnson

I was the biggest Jeff Beck fan around the time of Blow by Blow and then every album since that one caught me struggling to stay a fan. I've always waited for Blow by Blow II but it never came until I heard Andy Timmons play. Thank You Andy!

One in the fullness of his creation. Thank You

great story telling and off the charts playing almost made me cry if i wasnt so tough

Beautiful Performance.... this guy is baddass... love it !!!!

Puts wings on my heart, beautiful

So emotional & expressive but never losing control....hew...amazing.

Really amazing guitarist... I'm glad there is still a guitarist evolution going on.. He really blends different influences and mixes/ makes it into his own.

I never get tired of this… AT = ♾

What Andy describes as his Jeff ephiphany is perfectly represented in Jeff's concert at Ronnie Scott's in 2007. If you've been denied that stunning experience, start with Angel(Footsteps) and Cause We've Ended As Lovers. You will never, ever be the same after even just those two pieces. Like Andy described.

Thank you Very Much!!!!!!

Love this performance, just a touch more restraint beautiful!!!

Genius is an understatement. Andy GOD Timmons!!

so much feeling and passion!

I've got nothing to say. just amazing! AT you r great

i listen to him as long i remember, this i soul music for me

Oh,my God!!!!....One of the few players,that is able to make the guitar sing for real!!!!!!!

Incredible...won of the very best.

I really like both, Andy and Jeff. I saw Andy 2 years ago in Germany when he presented his gear and answered questions from the audience. But he also played about 6 of his great songs. This evening did cost only 7$!!! I never met such a great guitar player who really knows how important the connection between listeners and artist is. He was quite funny and did not become stressed by a lot of very simple questions. Next month I gonna see Jeff playing in Germany. I am really looking forward!

by far , one of the most expressive and musical guitarists !!!

Saw Andy at The Iridium in NYC playing the Sgt. Pepper album cover to cover. Fantastic.

Saw JB back in the late nineties. Had the same experience. Absolutely fluid, most free guitarist I’ve ever seen live. Really exciting. I was in front row, and caught his slide when he threw it out into audience!

Great master Andy Timmons one best of guitarrist in the world!!

AMAZING! .. the tone was amazing also.

WOW This is first time I've heard him. Freakin' Awesome!! Gonna check his music out for sure.

Wow that was straight up BEAUTIFUL

That's was incredible !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Timmons, one of the largest footprints, feeling and tone. The guy is impressive!

There are so many talented guitar players, but when you hear people like Jeff Beck, you realize there is such a thing as guitar Gods. The beauty of guitarist is that it allows different souls to communicate their feelings and expressions. I still believe the electric guitar is the ultimate instrument of expression. In the hands of the gifted they can make it sound like almost anything.

Wow? I am blown away!!!

plain simple just good to hear his voice an chat about experinces.

can cry listening to this...

Awesome! Outstanding tone

that's not just guitar, pickups and amp. andy timmons has to be the best sounding guitarist ever. and also one of the overall best guitarists i know.

I think I was in tears 4 times after watching Timmons play!

Wow dude...feeling that!! Loved your work in Protocol II also, and I've wondered to myself why for the ibanez 'S' style guitar when you could have any guitar, but you make it weep dude. Sounds so damn good recorded live. Kick on!

Every word out of his mouth is the absolute truth. I have been playing for 40 years. I've had lots of highs and lows in my musical journey, but this cat has succeeded to condense the entire quest for tone into a few simple statements. Listen up kids... not so much to his playing but rather the true passion for the instrument and the love of the art of playing guitar. That's it in a nutshell , passion. I wish I had heard this at 14, but them I wouldn't have cared. GO SEE BECK! You deserve it!

One of his more inspired performances. Feelin it!

Technique AND passion!

Absolutely fantastic tone!

holy shit, its the first time I hear about this guitarist, and hes fucking AWESOME

Been loving Jeff Beck since 1968, I aint Superstitious, was my favorite song, when I was growing up. Truth, was one of the albums, that inspired me. By the time I was in High School, Blow by Blow, was another one, that I really connected with. I got to see him "Live" doing that tour ... ONE Amazing Talented Man.

Absolutely killer - and the nicest guy too.

This jst touch my soul wooooooooooow

beautiful song...........Andy :)

When I watch Andy Timmons, it all becomes clear that Andy's best friend is the guitar, and the guitar's best friend is Andy. They simply become one!

Beautiful!!
