Grammy Premiere | Live Guitar Close Up | Tim Pierce

I was in the house band for the 2017 Grammy Premiere awards. This is the award show that happens just prior to the primetime event. There were over 70 awards in lots of different categories and some nice artist performances. We did 72 song starts.

THANKS FOR WATCHING ,,
TIM

Nice job Mr. Pierce, you are the MAN!!!

[MateusAsato]

Such a master! That was awesome, Tim!

[VintageSlide]

Session musicians don’t get nearly as much respect as they should. This is amazing.

[ivan-sqnf]

Videos like this really give that human inside into the industry.

[sjfamilomusic]

The most PROFESSIONAL guitarist I have ever seen. What a class act.

[billa]

I completely understand why you're so respected in the industry: professional, humble, dependable, and a no frills type of guy! What a legend!! Cheers

As great as your playing is, Tim-- It's the fact that you are always so happy. It's contagious.

[DavidThorpeMFT]

This really is top line playing. it's one thing to be able to play all the material Tim does here but another to make it sound like you mean it, that's where professionalism comes in. A true insight, thank you Tim.

[chucktrier]

You are so cool, i get nervous just by watching. Amazing job

[Producelikeapro]

Wow!! Absolutely amazing Tim!!! Thanks very much for sharing such an amazing video!!!

[bmwtravel]

First off - amazing display from a maestro. Second - cant help but notice that he picked a Strat to cover all those musical styles. Bravo!

[russ]

Very cool perspective. Thank you very much for posting this Tim!

Vinnie absolutely giving it full bananas at 6.20.... what a legend, and Tim nailing it all... fabulous

This video is a piece of History and deserves a place in the R&R Hall of Fame, as does Tim!! I have never seen such a "real life" demonstration of what an experienced session musician is capable of . He is live and out of the studio but still, that does not affect Tim's chops...he has everything covered. Note also...Tim is playing a Strat style guitar with lead humbucker and second guitar is playing ES335 style from what I can see. A combination in my opinion of the 2 great American guitar companies. For my part though, as I am a Fender Strat guy for 50+ yrs, Tim could have done the whole shoe solo with that Strat. Well done Tim, thank you.

[Geotubest]

Geeze.. I feel like I'm a personal friend of Tim's or something here. Thanks for sharing this remarkable footage, Tim. Love your channel. Cheers from London.

You know you’re high level when you’re in the house band for the *Grammy Awards*

[mardin]

Excellent 'Cissy Strut.' I need to listen to the Meters more often.

[michaelreis]

Tim you must have an amazing memory man, I know you have sheets infront, but I forget rhythms all the time, takes me time to recall etc. I'd need my very own James Brown yelling "Take me to the Bridge, On the 1, Damn white boy" etc :-)

[GUITARCODES]

could we have some kind of set list? some great tunes in here I'd love to learn.

Thanks for this. I'm a guitar player and I'm MD'ing (for the first time) an award show in couple weeks. Inspiring!
