Don't know if there's a topic about this fantastic player..
I haven't heard lots of his song; but I was totally amazed and strucked by feelings when I heard this amazing piece:

He's a master of tone. This video comes from Ibanez 90th Anniversary.

well, once again:
thank you for bringing up andy timmons - he is one of my absolute favourites!! oth "cry for you" and "farmer sez" are amazing. i think andy timmons makes instrumental tracks, you can listen to even if you are not a guitar freak. i saw him once at the frankfurt musicmesse in ´99 where he was playing at the ibanez booth - he really made my jaw drop - this was not senseless shredding, this was simply great.
andy timmons was the main reason i picked up the guitar again after three guitarfree years and really started to play again.

Andy would be in my top 3 guitar players,his dynamic phrasing and tone is a perfect combination

Electric Gypsy is one of his best tunes

He is a really great sounding guitarist for sure. But to say he plugs mesa boogie gear is an understatment

This is very inspiring!

It's gonna make me leaving the forum and grabbing the guitar right now

its true. He gets great tone from it though, one of the best tones around IMO.

I like very much the version of the Simon Phillips' song that they play in the 90th aniversary video

I could afford the amps he plays through, I would never leave the house again
