I just rewatched this video here in 2023... This comment was so much on point back then. In the meantime Rick has interviewed Brian May, Sting, Keith Jarrett(!!!!) and so many more... and I assume every one of them were maybe hesitant to do an interview with him, but then maybe saw a interview Rick did previously and realised what a great interviewer he is.

My two favorite KZread music teachers that I usually don't understand! ;-)

The 3 most important things I learned as a NYC recording session player-composer. 1. Be on time. You can be a Guthrie Govan, but if you're late twice you're off their call list. 2. Don't be a dick. The walls close in very fast for those stuck in the session with you. One of the best musicians I've ever met was blacklisted because he acted like a dick once to the wrong people. 3. Don't laugh hysterically when the client asks if you can make it "more Orange".

I've never stopped a video 5mins in to comment, however this discussion around reading a clients mood, momentum and vibe killers is so true. Such an important point and the fact that Tim has created a workspace specifically to combat momentum killers while quickly pursuing a 'sanctioned' creative idea is well, genius. Rick, your questions are so insightful. What do they say about better questions get better answers? OK that's enough from me. I've still got 42mins to enjoy 😊

Great bit about the 90s gear arms race and rolling in with 40 guitars.

Tim & Rick need to do this more often. These two men are feeding off each other in a magical way 👊

Why have I never thought about the volume pedal as a gate? Tim just changed my life and saved my tone haha!! Thank you for such a great video Rick.

​@@northof50now exactly after guitar and letting the signal pass on through and trail out. so glad I kept some volume pedals.. Jimmy Herring uses them Dweezil Zappa also in clever ways..have to re listen now to hear the volume pedal placements. Seems it was before delays so they could go through trail out or add in more delay Dweezil uses axe fx and you can adjust controllers in any point of signal path so if you want more delay in parts with reverb you can push toe down and more delay heel back would go back to where its not so much things like that still allow the delay to trail on through but you still have option to crank that wet signal up for solo or dynamics. Herring has volume pedals on everything he can add more amp in or delay or verb and his pedals were setup heel toe where down its more heel back its less or off. Oh Herring has monitor mixes from his other band mates near him on stage and he has volumes on each so he mixes the band in his monitors ! If he wants more drums and organ he has it organ too much lower it bring bass drums up to hear his own mix that does not effect the FRONT OF HOUSE. BUT he also has volume pedals where he can make reverb or delay BIGGER for solos that does hit the front of house sound. That sea of volume pedals before Herring is his stage monitor mix and front of house mix . He does not like in ear monitors so he mixes with his feet and always has a bit more volume on the amp for dynamic control over the band his own rig and mix and front of house mix from his own rig. They asked him if he could turn the band down overall and he laughed and said no it was just for his own mix ... :)

Those 2 together a real bliss.... They could do so many topics ! They both have great voices and insight!

"This isn't gonna work." So glad Tim can say that to people. He's paid his dues.

Tim played on my record, Look at my Face- Russ Coletti, 1984. " KZread", One take. He was a roommate with my friend Ricky Philips, Styx.

I discovered Rick's KZread channel last year and his broad and deep technical music knowledge is staggering. And I don't think anyone I know better expresses the pure joy of guitar playing than Tim. Two national music treasures.

Tim seems like a genuinely cool guy to hang with. Amazing set up too.

This episode was like a random chapter of a fat encyclopedia , so many teachings, insights, tips, formulas, guidance and mystique...

I watched a Rick Beato video several months back and wasn't impressed, don't remember why. Tim Pierce is not only a sincere person but an exceptional guitarist, a living legend.. Watching this, Rick got my respect and I'm now a subscriber.

Thanks for introducing me to so many great musicians, Rick ✌

Hey Rick...thanks for the taking the time to interview Tim. Excellent questions directed at him. I had the pleasure of working with Tim a number of times in the late 80's to 90's. He is truly is as nice in person as he appears in vids. Thanks!

Tim's the man. Such a great guy. I've been a member of his Master Class for more than 2 years now. Nothing else like it. Unbelievable that someone of his level is so available. Great job Rick

...I feel fortunate to have been a colleague of Tim's here in LA since the 80s. I am so happy to see him grow his incredible You Tube channel. I love every video he does. So, to watch the two of you in relevant conversation about being a recording musician, is another high point! Thank you Rick and Tim!

"I kinda don't know where this cable comes from" that got me cracking up, what a legend. Tim is the man!

Tim Pierce is a first call session player in LA, and I regret that I never met him. What I love about this video is that it is not dumbed down. I can't understand it, and I love that! Being a great session player is like being a great doctor. I really hope that I am half as good as a doctor as Tim is as a musician.

An amazing and revealing interview. I had absolutely no idea how complex, how much thought, technology and effort goes into making the music we love that we take for granted. ❤

Two of my favorites !! So much Awesomeness !!

Two of the best on the web for understanding the music we love. :0)

Or a capo on each guitar. I felt incredibly vindicated when he made that comment. So much time and love goes into the guitars aesthetics only to be ruined by then clunky claw hand looking capo. Personally, I like schuell capos. They’ sleek.

The last 20 minutes felt like a really excited show and tell. It was AWESOME! That's one of the coolest gear demonstrations I've seen

Love Tim and love how long the video is! Thanks for doing this, Rick! You're a great interviewer. I love how you give the person space and don't try to insert yourself where you're not needed. I also hope you do more KZreadr musician collabs in the future!

This interview was so good. It was kool seeing two guys that just love music but have really invested in their craft. So much knowledge and wisdom in their conversation.

41:02 " I kinda don't know where this cable comes from" ...I spit my drink out laughing because he said it so sheepishly and genuinely.. Tim seems like such a nice guy. And as far as his playing..his touch or the way he varies the way he attacks his notes with a pick sometimes or his fingers others makes his solos so expressive almost lyrical. So good. I had never really heard someone do it as well as Tim and I just love to hear him picking a beautiful line and then just did in with a bend wow! Plus he plays with such joy and his faces when he is making those expressive notes match. How a client couldn't just love to watch him work if he is doing this for them to their music. Powerful stuff. As a music lover and wanna be guitar player it is so enjoyable.

Great score getting an interview with probably THE greatest session player out there, who can get any tone you need!!.....and then a look at and walk through of the inner sanctum!!...BONUS!!....

Only half way through and I already know I will be watching this multiple times.

Two of the most positive men, two great musicians ... what a feast ....thanks Rick, thanks Tim!

Getting back to this video I can appreciate more Tim’s approach to workflow. He make everything easy to tweak and record, he gets t he sound right for the recording and just dedicates to play. Huge video. Thanks again Rick!

I love how open Tim is to show how he does stuff, amazing player with an amazing resume, and yet still truly humble. Seems like a guy I love to just hang out with. Very genuine.

This is so great! Love Tim’s insight, and Rick always asks great questions!

amazing interview. Love Tim and Rick

Very entertaining. One thing is always clear with Tim. He loves music and guitar geekery. After all these years he still gets giddy over sharing a guitar tone. So cool!

Totally enjoyed video. Rick, you and Tim need to do more of these videos. Tim, the information you are sharing is priceless. What a hoot. Love both of you guys. Best stuff on YT!

Rick, no doubt to me, your best interview ever. Been following Tim forever, and to watch you two talk was amazing. Thanks for this.

Wow, I loved this...the interview, going through the gear, the chain, etc. It was a real treat for me. I lived in L.A. for 25 years doing music..gigs, recording (was on a label). My engineer had a great studio and he taught me about mic pre's, mics, Pro Tools/Logic and the short cuts, etc. (he engineered for Pink, Quincy Jones, Van Halen, does all of the Rammstein albums now in Berlin). I had to leave L.A. seven years ago to take care of my elderly father in Texas. The biggest, most massive loss to me was having to leave my engineer who I had worked with for over 20 years...a huge loss for me. Going through your studio gave me a real sense of "home" and made me happy. My #1 favorite place in the world is to be in a studio sitting next to my engineer going through tracks and arranging and mixing. So, I got a little piece of that back tonight watching this video. Thank you so much.

That setup is so insane - and totally logical. Just messing around, Tim sounds better than 80 percent of the stuff out there. His rig just sounds miles deep. Thanks for this video.

Such an inspiring musician! And such an inspiring conversation! Thank you, Rick!
