Andy Timmons his Mesa Boogie Rig

[stringman340]

The most beautiful thing I've witnessed in a long time. The song, the tone & performance....seriously.

[MaximusDowns]

The tone from the Lone Star amp is so incredible. Gotta give props to Andy as well, he's making that thing sing!

[maxomilian]

2:38. The steve vai feeling the air hand move

[yjmsrv]

Andy's Lone Star tone is MUCH bigger then Texas!

[mrmeatsweats1]

thats relaxing man



[jonnycox001]

I've had my Lonestar Special for a few years, and recently played a show consisting of 25 Beatles songs... one of my favorite post-show comments was this guy going nuts over the tone I had for the lead part of She Came in Through The Bathroom Window - which was always my favorite George lead tone. Such a great amp. This song hear is beautiful btw. I get side-tracked easily when I'm commenting - but it is really beautiful

[Danielrobbyshor]

i could watch this guy play all damn day.

[mrskint55]

Great player !!!!!

[FlankinspanK]

ummm yeah that guy is a BEAST!!!!

[captainsurfcaster]

Anyone know what the neck+middle pick-ups are?

[rjg7000]

@captainsurfcaster Those are the Dimarzio Cruiser model.  Great sounding pickups.

[theGodSeat]

@captainsurfcaster - Dimarzio Cruizers.

[ChadALambert]

tasty.



[bmelnyk07]

Great player sets a standard amazing tone and feeling

don't get many great players like these now.

[xalexiskorex]

[DistortedV12]

Holy Tone! It's like floating on a cloud of sound.

[sjalajelameiol]

My my my, he's outstanding, so is his tone

[viperman375]

I think there's like 5 persons who tried to be funny and gave those thumbs down.

[bmelnyk07]

Amazing guitar playing, love that new Ibanez thinking of getting one, I know I'm a long time Gibson, Strat fan. Looks like the Ibanez would hold it's own.

[xalexiskorex]

WAOO what a great tone man

[utopianreality]

For the currently 5 people who dislike this, I would like to see the standard of the videos you like!

[metalcrusher18]

This is the 1st time I see Andy and I'm shocked !

[0m1nous]

master player, and even more masterful tone!!

Getting tone like this takes as much talent as the playing itself! Love it.

[dragon56112]

For me 1 of the best 5 in the world

[CletusColtrane]

@dragon56112

[lnknpark814X]

[pearloid01]

[profaa927]

Good job man xD

[FloppyDonut]

[JasonM2691]

The only solo guitarist i like

[jowens1126]

Thanks to Mesa Engineering for posting this on thier website. Thats how I found this guy. He really is an amazing artist. I have been hooked listening to this album for a couple of months now and he truely is an amazing guitar player.

[hydejing]

awesome

[campana93]

ahhhhhhh thats sooooo good!!! ahah im making all these holy **** faces right now!

[franpurasangre]

banngg bangggg

[merunfar89]

Is he using the Stiletto for the dirt or the Lonestar? Or neither? Pardon the ignorance, I'm new to Mesa's. Never really looked at them much till today.

[GGTopGuitarist]

I would pay alot for the backing tracks of his songs

[fusionakis]

Simply one of the greatest guitar players of our time... MesaShane is right... He's got it all, and he is on the right track...

[flatthump]

I think Andy his my new favorite guitarist. Awesome dude!!!!!

[tomlikesacdc]

i don't normally like instrumental guitar work, but this was bloody amazing.

[pepperroni17]

tabs?

[Shereeeeeeen]

is he using any gain/distorion pedals. or is that pureley from the amp?

[enzofoolevil]

master piece

[Strive02]

tone is to sweet

[guitarmartin13]

So, so beautifull...Amazing grace!!!!!!!!!

[telemaster079]

this sounds like john mayer/jimi hendrix slow blues meets an 80's power balad solo

[apollominor]

this was the first thing from him i watched. perfect first impression.

[saddle8bag]

His entire Resolution CD is fantastic. This was the song that got me to seek it out and still probably my favorite on the recording.

[danteyoutu]

Wow!

[swedishx07]

Stand Still

[TappedHarmonic]

Amazing song from an amazing Artist.

Thank you, Andy.

[stutrol]

My....My.................

[alexl1001]

I am SO JEALOUS of people like this who can get these PERFECT guitar tones! Oh, Man! I wish I could have a rig that sounded this good. Damn!

This is great stuff. AT is so good.

[TappedHarmonic]

One of the best guitar player...EVER.

Thank you for sharing this soulful performance, and thank you Andy for your amazing art.

Awesome.

[Unspoker21]

I love this song

rock on Andy

We love uuuuuuu

[Unspoker21]

love it.....................

beautiful

[fendermannnn]

Amazign!!!

[fendermannnn]

Amazing i love andy timmons!!! :)

[kotetsuguitar]

Fantastic!!!

[Jordingo]

I agree. I know he's listening to more music through the headphones than we hear but the beginning is soft guitar work and he's moving around and making faces like is done when playing more powerful stuff like later on in the piece. This is usually the guy filming or producer egging them on to show more emotion than is called for just to get that feel for the video. I think it worked in the opposite direction here. This guy, however, has all the feel he needs in his playing. He's flawless.

[jk1487]

best tone, EVER!

[a7d9]

Well it seems like the 'secret' to his style has been digging also into classical and jazz plus studying the necessary parts of music theory. It pays off in the long run. No Mozart, no rock music either..

[Carrillocaster]

theres 31ºC out there but still i've got the skin like a bloody chicken....beautiful playing and amazing sound as well

[starsailor803]

I've been trying to learn this song. His technique is so full of little nuances it's nearly impossible to replicate. Andy is the man. I love the Resolution album.

I love the tones as well. The cleans on the Stiletto are gorgeous. Sounds very close to a Hiwatt, to my ears at least.

[cano3d]

how did I never heard him before =S ?? impressive ! gonna check him music =D

[kareemb0]

Andy Timmons is one of my favorite guitarists. He HAS tone, feeling and great compositions.

[bigwiger]

INCREDIBLE!

[Dooality]

You rarely hear such emotion in guitar playing these days.  This gave me chills.

[telemaster079]

i agree with ya. this is just pouring with raw emotion and feeling

[MesaShane]

The guy's just got it all. Period. Zero weaknesses in his playing and composition. He's got mind-blowing technique, but he actually understands that technique is just the grammatical rules of the musical language, not the actual poetry. That's called "getting it", folks.

[starsailor803]

Well said.

[Shogun777]

you hit it right on the nail

[zoso0987]

WELL PUT! I never thought about it that way... but it is so true!

Knowing alot of big words doesn't mean you are able to make a good, well articulated point. You have to know how to put those words into a well constructed phrase!!

Technique is the vocabulary, phrasing and soul are the poetry!

[fresh1air]

I agree!!! I just discovered him a few days ago and I'm blown away... !!!

[DrProgNerd]

Perfectly stated

[evilotto77cheese]

can anybody tell me what model ibanez that is??

i'd love to get one...

[hamerac]

Andy is truly one of my all time favs if not my all time fav! Everything he plays moves me & takes me somewhere else no matter if he's shredding, or playing just like this! He always has tons of emotion! He helped me finish my record the way I wanted to! Check out my vid "The Hurt Stops Here" it has allot of soul & emotion, & I was trying to think Andy when I did it, even though it doens't sound like him! He's such an inspiring Guitarist! Maybe the best!!

Troy Clark

[dshim88]

My favorite part is from 0:00 to 3:21

[nikfore]

But this is the best thing with Andy! his tone and fingers!

[macao1977]

wow!he sound is beautyful,Andy is wonderfull!

[skaterdylan101]

i like the way he started to build up

[bigsby6bender]

I've never heard Andy's playing before, and now I'm glad I have. Such wonderful, soulful tone and tasteful playing! I'm a new fan!

[jokerzlol]

Amazing! This piece made me speechless!

[guitarttimman]

I'm a huge fan of Andy's and this is one of the very best guitar performances I've ever heard; easy 5 stars here!

[vontetzianos]

Just goes to show you really don't have to shred at 250 bpm to get a great sound or make great music, and Andy is a great example of this.

[Nieheh]

+1 to that

[emoboi311]

badass

[giantrobot9000]

Fantastic player,great tone. Nice to see someone using the Stiletto. It's a very good amp that you don't hear being named too much yet.

[guitarttimman]

you see this is why I like Andy Timmons so much. He plays with "style" and "feel" and has the technical genre to boot! easy 5 stars here.

[Salvojem]

big big big... andy..

SALVO..

[redcoupebandit]

He is ONE OF A KIND, Really! So Unique and soulful and can shred all day long and still plays with so much feel. My favorite guitar player in the world!

[6rosebudX]

agree. this song is powerful and magnificent!

[ColinPRS]

Wow, this guy is so versatile.

[ericprsse]

one of my favorite andy songs. Got love the jazz influence in his playing... 2-5s all over his new stuff.

[guitarnoize]

I love this track Andy is insane, he has such a brilliant sense of melody and incredible phrasing.

[uomoscozzese]

this is cool

[RetroXxXGroove]

Beautiful performance...

This song is about conversation with god...

It's funny how the Song "Starry Night" from Satch is about the same subject..;)

[baggedcereals]

The best tone on earth. Great quality video!!

post MORE!!! MORE!! MORE!!!

[tsumabiken]

Beautiful! 8) Such wonderful tone.

[sebace]

we want more!!!

[soulbrotha4u]

My man. Thanks for sharing. I met Andy once. He seems to be a great person. My son Jaylen loved him too. He is an outstanding musician.
