I'm from (and still live and work in) Evansville, IN -Andy Timmons' hometown. I was teaching guitar at a local music store (circa 2007) and giving a lesson to a student whom I showed an Ace Frehley-sounding lick. I happened to comment that while the lick was all over the place in rock guitar, the fastest I'd ever heard it played was on an Andy Timmons tune called "Groove or Die." We gave it a listen, played the lick, and both agreed Andy played it faster than either of us would ever manage. When the lesson was over, we walked out onto the main showroom of the store only to discover than Andy was actually in the store talking to the owner (Andy was back in town to visit his dad, Gene). I told Andy that we had JUST been listening to one of his tunes and asked if he would mind showing us that particular lick at tempo; he was more than happy to oblige. Both me and my student were floored. A great memory... Andy's an amazing person and one helluva guitar player!

Paul Gilbert is something else entirely...his enthusiasm is infectious.

This is the best advertisement that Ibanez could possibly procure. The tone Andy gets from that neck pickup is glorious.

Lol, I love how they had their Stairway to Heaven moment in there. And totally embraced it! 😁

Paul Gilbert is an encyclopedia of song knowledge

When Paul Gilbert literally throws everything he knows at you and you can’t be shook. AT is an absolute master at improv

I love how they're both masters at their craft and there's still the slightest bit of vulnerability when next to another proclaimed guitar legend talking about how they approach things. Shows you that no matter how good you think you are there's always an element of feeling like not knowing it all or being caught off guard with something you're not comfortable with and room for growth and learning. I've been playing for well over a decade but still see myself as an amateur and seeing that really re-affirms that what we do as guitarists is a personal journey and there's no road-map for this thing we love

Two good guys who deserve every good thing on the planet.

The best half hour on KZread.

These guys, along with Nuno, have been my favorite guitarists since the late 80s on!! So awesome to see them together jamming. So much style, taste, their techniques; absolute masters in the game!

How can two guys be so good, and have so much FUN, at the same time? Thanks Paul and Andy! Thanks Sweetwater More, more, more, please!

This what you call seasoned musicians...period.

These two have amazing chemistry. Always love seeing them together.

What a treasure to watch these guys feed off each other. Both such great players.

These two need weekly jams together with a camera for us to enjoy.

Close encounters of the 3rd kind is the best cadence to finish any jam 😂

The best manner of relaying/exchanging knowledge and skill: relaxed, amongst friends, laughter, focused joy. Proper connectivity.

“Pretty good” is an understatement 😅

Reminds me of Paul and Marty on Japanese TV back in the day, I love this format so much. Thank you. We need more videos like this.

These guys need to make a record together. Two of the best.

"Andy and Paul, Season 1, Episode 1" (Please 😎) Man, you have to adore that two of the most accomplished players are also so generous and in life-long learning mode ❤

Band name? “Ibaneezer Scrooge” 2 melodic players doin’ their thang! 😊😊 PLEASE do more of this! 🎸🎸🎸

This should be a weekly event.

The best jam session I've seen in forever. Not just trading licks, but actually meshing so well!

Yes. 2 of my favourite players in the same room. Andy's tone, feel & sense of melody is godlike. Paulo Gilberto can play anything

We will never see another moment that has two of the most enthusiastic musicians again. They are soo into doing what they do! Deadly stuff.

You can think you have a great guitar tone and then you hear Andy and realise you aren't even close :) both monster players

This one of the best guitar jams I ever heard online!!!!

The tone of Andy Timmons' guitar is impressive, as well as his versatility, which ended up overshadowing Mr. Gilbert completely.

Two of my absolute fav players - can not get enough of this.... thank you.

Had the pleasure of meeting both of them before. Most down to earth players, goals made meeting both of your hero’s

THIS is the greatest thing I've seen on KZread in a long time. I had the pleasure of meeting Andy at the Woodshed Guitar Experience, and he's truly a great guy with great sense of humour and incredible humility. And of course, Paul Gilbert is Paul Gilbert! Thank you, Sweetwater and Ibanez for this!

Just F'ing epic. Two virtuosos grooving off of each other and killing it. This is magic and what makes me love KZread. This kind of content is priceless.

30 minutes with a big smile on my face.

This was the most enjoyable guitar playing I have seen in a long time. This is a win for guitar lovers everywhere.

Always a breath of fresh air to see two pros pick each other's brain and show us how it's done. So glad they showed love to Trower. AND Question Mark & The Mysterians! Bill Haley jam, I believe Andy even mentions Leslie Gore. Priceless.

Good lord. Andy's tone is the truth. I could listen to that tone all day. What a treat for us to be able to watch these two play together.

5 minutes in and I feel like I should’ve paid for this already.

Two of the BEST ears and playing talents ever just having fun and being amazing. Yep, I'm good watching for the next 33 minutes.

Easily one of the most enjoyable videos I have watched, absolute genius from two mates just having a jam

Wow! This was mindblowing! Two wise masters absolutely crushing it and making it look easy. Can you imagine if these guys did an album together?

This is a blessing from God of Guitars, these two legends should make an album, I mean the chemistry is there

😄 Thank you Sweetwater for this! Thank you for both of you getting together. So many levels of FUN! You both really are such beautiful souls. What a pleasure to watch MUSIC shine through both of you, with such a beautiful sense of wonder and play.

THE NICEST GUITAR VIDEO I'VE EVER SEEN! We have to have more content like this! but, why not with an entire band jamming, and talking, sharing thoughts, and way much playing! This is the kinda tv show I can leave tv turned on for all three hours long! If there is someone with this thought let's ask for it!

This was so fun to watch. Two masters just jamming showing great respect for each other and no egos. Need more of this on KZread!

two of the best players from an era known for shredders. however, the phrasing abilities possessed by these two may be unrivaled anywhere right now. Wow!
