Timmy - Stream

Unread post by toltzmjd » Wed Feb 23, 2005 4:10 pm

When Timmy playes stream at Luther College is he using a pick? because that would limit him greatly to his speed but it sure sounds like a pick and a lot of the things he does could only be done with a pick i'm sure, but what does everybody else think or maybe even know?


P.S. I can't believe that L@LC wasn't taped! It makes me so furious!!!!!

I play it with a pick but I donn think he does. When I say I play it, that doesn't mean I play it exactly like Timmy.

On the Timmy website it says he fingerpicks on all his songs except Stream and Kundalini Bonfire, so yes he uses a pick.

Yes, I know he doesn't like to be called TIMMY. But since IM not directly speaking to him Im gonna say Timmy. Don't worry when I see him next I will call him Tim out of respect. Just like the last time I met him.

Yes. That's Paco de Lucia, Al di Meola, John Mclughlin kind of speed which is even more super-human than Tim's.

If dave and tim do another tour (showcasing the songs on the new album, hint hint) they gotta do an DVD of it.
