Andy Timmons lead tone

[mentoneman]

nothing but great things to say about him as a player and a human. met him on the NAMM floor in 86-87 when he was a demo guy for Kramer and just joining Danger Danger. think he was also demoing an amp but just standing on the main lobby aisle by himself/no booth jamming away to backing tracks. insane chops and so nice.

I've seen a lot of guitar players over the years, but when Andy did a little clinic with Robert Keeley at a local store a few years back to debut the Halo pedal, it was probably the most entertained, awed and inspired I have been by a player in a long time. I left thinking "How the hell have I not seen him live yet?"

I saw him open for Uli Jon Roth once and I didn't know much about him other than his name. But by the 3rd or 4th song, I didn't want his set to end. I don't typically like instrumental guitar bands, but Andy can really hold your attention and deliver the goods.

Funny, I just listened to that album for the first time two weeks ago and have been listening to it since. Despite never hearing his music before, I was surprised how much of his playing reminded me of mine with the phrasing, obviously just far, far better.

And I only got a few of his albums because I always love his tones when I see him doing gear demos, that’s pretty much the area I live in when I’m not recording metal stuff.

“Cry For You” is my absolute favorite instrumental ever.

Dont forget he’s an 80’s guy, Danger Danger!

“Cry For You” is my absolute favorite instrumental ever.

And the recording quality, playing and tone is absolutely amazing. Love that song.
