Awseome new vid Andy Timmons

[Jimi75]

Andy Timmons is a great player! In this new video he plays a dramatic balld with some wicked fast bends that remind me of Jeff Beck. The melody lines are perfect....and did you see that Xotic BB Preamp on his board? That is where the cool crisp in his cleas comes from. Chekc out the lines starting from 2:50...definitely something I should put on my practicing schedule.

Great playing. I like the nearly clean part most. I always find this breaking up from clean to little crunch very exciting.

Andy Timmons is seriously underrated. I don't know if his work with Danger Danger "hurts" his rep or what. I've always been impressed with how ultra-clean and accurate his playing is--not one iota of sloppiness.

Great playing. I've seen his ads in GP magazine but haven't really heard him play until seeing this video. You can really hear the Jeff Beck influences in his playing. Really nice. Thanks for sending this.

Really nice. Thanks for posting. I like the beginning very well, the middle just before 2 min gets a bit shrill for my taste, but then the closing from 2:35 on as you say Jimi is really amazing. Great playing!

I have one of Andy's earlier solo albums. I was impressed by his playing but I thought his compositions were a little weak. He has a new album that he did with just a bass player and drummer (on Steve Vai's inspiration, according to an interview in the new Guitar Player). If the piece in this video is any indication, I think it will be a stronger effort. The discipline of playing rhythm and lead together sounds like it's got him focused more on the composition, as much as on the groovy wailing. I'm looking forward to hearing it.
