Session Stories: Episode 10 - Tim Pierce

Where do we begin, or better yet, how do we summarize the extraordinary impact that @timpierceguitar has had on hundreds of thousands of people over the last five decades?

It's a bucket list moment for this guitarist and a massive fan of the talented, legendary session guitarist, a pro's pro touring musician, creator of a massive YouTube channel, and an amazingly gifted guitar instructor, Tim Pierce.

This episode features so much, including Tim looking back on incredible moments in the studio with his "heroes," the work he's most proud of from the past, and some of the greatest stories we've ever heard on any episode thus far.

I call him the "best guitar teacher on the planet" right now, and I stand by that. What a moment it was for me to talk to guitar hero Tim Pierce. Dive into Episode 10!

Hearing that Tim played the guitars on Shinedowns Sound of Madness just blows my mind. I absolutely love that record! So many great songs. Great interview

[Barnzoid]

I'm not a very accomplished guitarist - but Tim has given me the permission to explore what I have to give and share it with others. I believe my limitations do define my sound! Thanks for this vid - I'm a huge Tim fan - and now a new subscriber

Nice pic of Tim playing the Roland guitar synth with the stabilizer bar!!

Met Landau at the Baked Potato Club during NAMM in 2008.
He played with The Jazz Ministry that night. After the show, he showed me his whole rig, and explained everything to me. Such a very nice guy!

Tim is an amazing guitarist but also a really nice guy.

Even if you know nothing about guitar playing or music you will recognise that Tim Pierce is a top flight human being.

[stevemyers]

Tim is a treasure - a session master - and a nice human. It doesn't get any better.

[Tonsvtunes]

Tim seems like his interpersonal skills are much like his guitar playing. Always careful not to over play and a great listener. Happy to jump in when he gets the nod but never battling to be heard over another. Always leaving you wanting more!

[Thorgrim]

Tim is top notch. Passionate, talented, and generous.

[loudspider]

I can't tell you how many tracks I've heard across the decades thinking "Wow, that was great, who was that?"...and the answer was extremely often "Ah, Tim Pierce again, of course!"

[mikeoneill]

Talk about going down rabbit holes! Or maybe like tree roots. One story leads to another! It’s endless! Thanks for this. Tim is a treasure!

[paddyjamesmusic]

One thing I've noticed with Tim he talks everyone else up except for himself when he could have a huge ego .Not just an exceptional guitarist but an exceptional human being as well

[ExplosionDestroyer]

Fantastic interview. I love a lot of Tim’s work. I look forward to the second interview.

[PastaPatate]

One of the negatives about the digital age is often trying to find who played on what especially with newer tracks.

[mikedr]

Glad The YouTube Al Gore Ithm pointed me your way. I could listen to Tim go on for hours. I've heard many of these stories but gladly sat through them again!

[vaisatchatrucci]

Excellent interview brother - enjoying all of these thoroughly! Well done sir!

[gregdewald]

I remember playing John Waite covers and just diggin the guitar parts! Now we know

[Malama_Ki]

Tim and Kenny A. became the new wrecking crew.
