Amazing that a master could be so humble. To get instruction from a player of Mr. Pierce's caliber would have been an absurd fantasy when I started playing guitar 50 years ago. It gives me joy to see how much its rightly appreciated.

As far as neck and shoulder pain, I found doing a dead hang from a pull up bar a few times a week loosens everything up.

A good rhythm section is worth its weight in gold ✨️

[MickeyBitsko-bnbu]

The guitar is absolutely a percussion instrument. This is one of the best demonstrations of that

[moethibert]

Your the best teacher and one of the best guitarists I've ever seen, Thanks

[artemisXsidecross]

Your use of language is as well played as is your music; it is a great combination.

A body in motion stays in motion👍 Words I've lived by through my 70 years and still going. Love your work Tim!

Man Tim, You made it look so easy. I just learned that first few years we train our left hand on the cords, and the next 10 years on the right hand to play accurately and freely. There is so much to learn. Thank you for the pointers

You get one of the if not THE best strat tones with that strat I've ever heard.

[MrWilson-WithaPbass]

Love this Tim Thanks ! I am 50/50 "rhythm guitar and bass . Always working to get better .

Greetings Tim! I’m not an amateur. I’m not even an amateur garage hack. But I won’t ever admit or quit. Your lessons are worth their weight in gold. Thanks!!!

[jeffroq]

What a fantastic lesson. Thank you Tim. The economy of effort thing I always think of Michael Casswell doing the Rory Galagher lick library lesson. Looks so effortless.

Tim is the such a good teacher! Having been a drummer in my younger days makes a hugh difference with timing and pocket as an old gray headed guy working on playing guitar today... Thanks for the tips Tim!

[SeanVarley]

This is such a practical lesson. So many players don't spend enough time developing the skill to mute on demand. I think it is the secret to making the guitar talk. I also had a Nash S63 with HSS Lollar pickups. I sold it for some cash. It is one of the guitars I do miss.

[TRNR]

WOW what a brilliant video. Tim is amazing. He can do it all and explain it perfectly at the same time, while also having such a calm and pleasing demeanor. Legend.

[jakyru]

Spectacular explanations, lucid because they are SIMPLE!

[christhacker]

Tim is the bomb. Impeccable timing and feel.

[carlsalazar]

Love the sound of your Strat. I’ve spent so much money to recreate the sounds of my favorite guitarists. I finally gave up, life got in the way.

[joergenlang]

I think that information about holding the pick, posture, tension in the body and physical exercises would easily justify their own video series. Saying this as an acoustic guitarist. Thanks Tim!

[HarryStoneDotCom]

I didn’t play guitar for a couple of years and got arthritis in my left hand index finger. Once I started playing again it gradually went. If I don’t play for a few days it returns. Lately I’ve been able to play every day again and there’s zero pain. I definitely agree with you about keeping everything in motion to mitigate it. Great video again, like always.
