These are the stories I love hearing from Tim! He’s an amazing storyteller!🙏🏻 This is the history of how the music industry and how it worked. Love this!

Tim I was a guitar player in a band called Jace, it was jace smith from the Risk Springfield gang, we were doing demos with a producer named Drick Nakamoto. They did the demos without me behind my back and they had you play guitar, I was hurt and pissed until I heard what you played it was amazing. I realized I needed to get better so I practiced like crazy and become a much better player. Only bummer was I had to play your parts live, I pulled off the best I could. You are one the greats. Thanks for making me a better player.

Non just a world class guitar players' player and an incredibly smart and humble gentleman, Tim's also a master story teller, I could listen to him telling sessions' stories all day! Thanks for posting!

I was a working guitarist / studio owner for many years. I graduated the GIT back in ‘93 and continued on my quest for success. Now as a 53 year old with an amazing wife of over 20 years and two wonderful kids (now adults) I just treat guitar as a hobby, I’m out of the studio and have found other more fun, less stressful and rewarding ways to make a living. I came to realise that success to me wasn’t the gig, the tour, the job…it was ‘Am I happy’…the family that my wife and I had created and valuable time spent with people I love and who love and respect me. No one gets to their death bed and wished they’d worked more hours…and you can never get back time missed with loved ones ❤

Nobody should be this charismatic and talented at the same time

[TwoMinutesBass]

Tim's story inspires everyone, not only musicians but also the other fields of work

[maxmenius]

Tim is a role model for hard work, modesty, and deserved success. Really respect him for his impressive work ethic. Great video!

[RockMe]

Tim is a class act. Professionalism at it's best.

[jtnachos]

Never have I had so much adoration for someone's music stories. What a wild ride brother! Thank you.

[shorerocks]

The ability (and willingness) to say "no" cures all that. Then again, you at least happen to run into a potential burnout before you realize this is exactly what you need to be doing.

[PacoPascualmusic]

That’s the price you have to pay to stand up among others… when you have such a passion and you are so professional you always put work before yourself, and actually that is what makes you so good and loved, no one who spends much time with their family or holidays can achieve so much ❤🎸🎶

[StevenRosenberg]

I love that you play in between the stories -- I like a musical interlude between stories. Really ties it together.

[djSmokeShow]

Holy cow I had no idea just how prolific a session player you are, what a career! I LOVE when people like you sit down and reflect on all of your experiences, so cool.

[karmakarrot]

Your solos are always so good, so album worthy, it blows my mind someone is so consistently good.

[scottyhammo]

I just discovered how utterly mindblowing your discography is...
Wow.Just WOW.👏👏👏👏👏

[Motosportz]

This has quickly become one of my favorite music channels. You and Mr Beato rule. Thank you sir.

[JakesMusicPalace]

The truth from someone who lived it, about what it really takes to succeed in the music business, and why so many crash and burn from the pressure. Love your music, and constant smile when you are playing, it shows that you truly were /are the man for the job. Thanks for sharing and just keep doing what you do, we all appreciate you🎸🎸

[GlennJackson-de]

This is why I wouldn't do that. I admire people who dedicate themselves to a career, but I realize, that I am not one of them. It takes that dedication to be great. Tim is great.

100 hour weeks. Did that for a decade with helicopters. Rescue. Your adrenaline is shot -and you have to go do it again, and again in often dangerous situations. You’re not in the air all that time (FAA rules) but you are always with the helicopter. Really developed a good work ethic now that I have my own company. We’re always booked out but I don’t like working more than 6 days a week as I’ve been at it 4 decades. Love your channel Tim !

[phillipdumond]

I so enjoy seeing that all you people that helped shape the sound track of so many others lives, are really just regular people doing regular things 🙂 Thanks Tim..
