Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor About Tim: Shred guitar virtuoso Tim Gibson discovered his father’s acoustic guitar at the age of fourteen and from that point on has never looked back. He would spend countless hours in his room learning cd’s given to him by his older brother by ear. He would soon receive his first electric guitar a few months later. At an early age virtuoso guitar players captivated him, but he struggled to find any teachers capable of teaching him in that style so he decided to study on his own. The summer before his senior year Tim was given the opportunity to attend Berklee College of Music in Boston and study under legendary shred guitarist Joe Stump. While spending time with Joe, Tim realized what a great teacher could offer to the development of a player so he asked for teachers in the Midwest he could study with. Soon after Tim got in touch with virtuoso guitar master Tom Hess. While studying with Tom Hess, Tim began to develop at a fast rate both technically and musically. During his senior year he taught guitar lessons to several students and gave a guitar clinic to his high school. After high school Tim began to work on some instructional products with Tom Hess as well as continue to teach students from all over Wisconsin. Some students drive several hours to take long lessons from him. During the summer of 2006 Tim was offered the touring guitar position for Century Media recording artists Vital Remains. He also wrote instructional articles for www.shredacademy.com and www.guitarz-for-ever.com. Tim will also be featured on an upcoming release by O.S.V that also has Lion Music recording artist Francesco Fareri and Leviathan recording artist Matt Mills making appearances. He has also co –authored an instructional e-book called “ The Next Step” and will be featured on a compilation disc put together by Tom Hess. In early 2007, being only 20, Tim was offered a teaching position at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music. This speaks volumes on how people view his musical skills. Tim will be doing clinics throughout Wisconsin in 2007 as well as being a guest clinician at the Conservatory of Music’s summer camp. Tim is currently working on his solo album, instructional DVD’s, and getting endorsement deals. |

Music:Member Since: 2/8/2007Band Members: Endorsements: Dava Picks Quotes about Tim: Rusty Cooley: "I think you are very well on your way to becoming an incredible shredder." Official Rusty Cooley Myspace Official Rusty Cooley Website Official Outworld Website George Bellas: "Stretch the boundaries, try new things you've never heard and ignore everyone. Push it! And I mean really! Your obvious passion, devotion and self-discipline is a recipe for longevity and mastery of the art." Official George Bellas Website David Shankle: "Tim Gibson I think is a young KILLER guitar player and is on his way to being a Monster player. Good tone, good songs, and great hands and very FAST with hot chops too. And I like his shredding. Hail to my new guitar friend and bro on HALO GUITARS." David Shankle Myspace David Shankle Group Offical Myspace David Shanke Group Official Website Francesco Fareri: "Tim is a great player with lots of potential and super fast playing! I hope he can record a solo cd soon just to show his great playing!" Francesco Fareri Official Website Francesco Fareri Official Myspace Troy Stetina: "Very impressive playing! Solid shred technique. Good luck with your new recording project... I'll be very interested to hear it when it's ready." Troy Stetina Official Website Shane Gibson: "Tim Gibson is an up-and-comer with the phrase 'Loads of potential' tattooed somewhere about his lower shin area. Not sure why he got it there (I might have chosen the arm or something), but oh well. He serves up some musical sushi with a massive dose of wasabi-like technical skills containing enough kick to make even some of the most versed shredders stop what they are doing and tip back a lager or two. (MMM....sushi!!) Anyways, keep an eye on this one." Shane Gibson Official Myspace Tom Hess: Check out what Magic Circle Music recording artist Tom Hess said about Tim: "When Tim Gibson first came to me as a student, I could see right away enormous potential. Tim had the mental discipline that most people just simply don't have. It was immediately evident that Gibson was highly "left brain" intelligent, as well as very highly "right brain" creative. This is very rare, as most people generally are strong, in one area or another. Tim has evolved so fast, and so powerfully that it became obvious I was dealing now with a colleague, not a mere student. Today, Tim Gibson is truly a powerful new force in the domain of world-class virtuoso guitarists and guitarist composers - Tom Hess" Tom Hess Official Website Tom Hess Official Myspace Tom Hess's Music Careers Class Influences: Jason Becker, Marty Friedman, Paul Gilbert, Greg Howe, Joe Stump, Shawn Lane, Michael Angelo Batio, David Shankle, Andy Timmons, Symphony X, Outworld, Nevermore, Dream Theater, Shostakovich, Rachmaninoff, Tom Hess, George Bellas, Vitaly Kuprij, Rusty Cooley Sounds Like: Progressive Shred Type of Label: None |
