I am interested in finding someone who has basically studied Tim Reynolds, both solo and his contributions to the music of the Dave Matthews Band.
Looking for someone who has extensive knowledge of his effects setup, how they all work and what tyes of sounds come from them. Looking for someone who has Tim's style down to a T, soloing, and playing over the DMB tunes...
Basically, I am beginning to do some research and put together a show to put on tour, basically paying tribute to Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds acoustic duo. I am looking to put a full-scale show on the road, probobly beginning in mid-January, lasting six weeks....approx. 30 shows around the country. Proceeds of the tour will be donated to charity (Bama Rags).
If you are a Tim Reynolds protege and interested in hitting the road playing in the style of Reynolds, drop me an email at ajimithing2001@cs.com |

People say I play a lot like Tim. I have a DD-6 and a Morley. But I'm already playing with someone.

Are you asking if one of us can play a lot of TIM songs? or if we solo quickly and happen to know the chord progressions of DMB songs?
For all you know, I could play exactly like Tim... on the sitar!!
You've come to a great place to cherish TR's music, but I speak on behalf of myself ( and others I know) when I claim that nobody can really play in TR's style. Sure, we can master the solo's he recorded at the *one* show that people have recordings of from Luther College. That doesn't define a "style" though. None of those things are planned out, Tim's "style" is one that flows from his own heart in his own compositions. that he is able to put the same kind of creativity into OTHER people's songs ( Dave's) is beyond my feeble mind.
Are you looking for this? or somebody who can memorize solos? I would hope that you're looking for someone to blow up an improv every night of the tour with you!
This is not going anywhere, cept to say that you might have better luck finding a lead guitarist on one of the DMB board sites if it's a re-creation of the D&T tour you're looking for. I hopw you do well though! any kind of music that is inspired by GTIM has got to have some value in it.

If that (^) is true, then don't look at me me! I'm not the fastest but I can rip it up! Most of the time I branch out and look for new things in a solo, which a lot of Dave fans don't often like. I'd love to send some of y'all my acoustic stuff that I do with my cousin. For most of the 6 songs I used the DD-6 and a compression sustainer. On 2 of them I use an Ibanez Tube Screamer. Just recently I've gotten the Morley Vol/Wah, but didn't use it on this recording. Drop me an email if you want to hear some of the stuff we did.

i would have to disagree with what you said about TR's style .... i think snyone can play TR's style ..... it just takes alot of practice ..... I mostly play by myself and sing ...... but when i solo it very much like TR's style .... TIMs solo style comes from his sitar playing ... grouped notes of three and lots of random bends, speed is key ( but only in certain cases ) ... Now I'm not trying to say that I'm the best guitar player, I'm saying it's very possible to get where TIM is and play his certain style .... he has a most definet Middle Eastern style with MOST of his music (acoustic music)... but to get the style is one thing all of us guitar players know very well..... PRACTICE..... Now TIM is a GREAT guitar player ... infact he's the best i have ever seen .... but that doesn't mean he's some sort of GOD (I know some mught disagree with me) ... I'm sure if you asked TR about he would tell you the same thing. This wasn't ment to be a hostile post ... i was just simply voicing my opinion.... Cheers |

Well you can get the basics of any guitar player's style down, but it's impossible to sound exactly like them, especially if it's one that improvises a lot, because they still are evolving as a musician. Anyone could get kurt cobain's style down, or standard rock and roll styles down, or fumble through a style similar to TR, but you can't say that you can play exactly like tim reynolds.
To me that's like saying you could play exactly like al Dimeola, or John Mclauglin, etc.. |

Yea it would be pretty difficult to play a TR exact solo, but then wheres the fun? I know Tim would say to use him as an influence then make your own style. Thats what I did. Hearing great musicians makes you relize whats possible, if we had no music to listen to, it would be a much greater task to learn guitar. It would probably be the most original sound ever, but lets face it, its impossible to never hear music and pick up the guitar, lol. I've been drowning myself in Django Reinhardt, and if you wanna hear some crazy guitar playing (besides TR of course) check out Django. He is a god to me. I really think that NO ONE can ever come to what he was doing before he died, especially with 3 fingers! He really, in my opinion, is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard.
But yea I got some live tracks on my site, I had my cd release party and had to do some live looping to try and recreate the sound on my cd (since i did 2 guitar tracks) it sounds really good, check it out!

Yeah, if i was a guitar player(i'm bass), i wouldn't just try to take inspiration from tim, i'd take it from a variety of people. The top musicians of now are the ones that listening to the most music growing up, and tried to take a little from ALL of it, and not just focus on one thing. I try to take my inspiration from bassists, then guitar/piano for chords and melody, and good drummers(jazz drummers and tabla players) for rhythm. You get trapped if you just focus on 1 musician, cause even if you get to that level, you're just labeled a clone and are discarded.
So in conclusion, yes i will play guitar with you ajmithing! /sarcasm/ |

| I agree with you guys 100%..... musicans style is like genetic make-up ..... you get a whole bunch of different styles ( from different musicans) and that pile of sound makes a new sound (your sound) so many people have inspired my guitar playing.... like Dave Matthews ... TR... Keller Williams... Neil Young...then bands like the Roots (R and B).... Reinhardt is a crazy son of a bitch on the guitar ..... no one today (that i have heard can do some of that stuff....) Reinhardt and TR would be a great concert ( HELL YES ).. right now i would say no one can play like Reinhardt ... but in the furture some one will come along and improve his style and make it even better..... cause that is just how it is ! I totally agree with focusing on more than one musican.... shit i listen to many styles to get influence.... rap.. bluegrass.... irish folk and scottish (baggpipes and jig).... even to middle eastern ( Ravi Shingar.... or however you spell his last name) ..... also if you want to be a musican you can't just play you have to have a message and a purpose ..... playing with heart is the most improtant thing when it comes to playing .... rubylith and victorwootenfan you know what i'm taliing about !! Well it's always a pleasure .. CHEERS |

ahmen!
Yea Reinhardt is amazing. No one will ever do what he did again, because of the times, his disABILITY, and the way he made his medlodies. SOmeone (like TR) will and has come along with a different style equally as amazing. Theres many great guitarists to be influenced by, not a single one is better, worse, they are all just different. Thats whats so much fun about listening to all different people. If there was ONE great guitarist, why wouldn't we all JUSt listen to him? know what i mean? hehe good cuz im not sure if i remember what imt alking about by now, im listening to Django and he just made me lose my concentration, lol.
later thanks! |

| Ravi Shankar's daughter (not Norah Jones, but the one who kept his last name), is coming to my school. I hear she's supposed to be a chip off the old block. Maybe I'll check it out. |

I thought they looked a lot alike when I saw a picture of her.
I'm not much into that style of music currently, but I'd like to get more into it. Know what I mean? Like, I've been meaning to check more out and delve deeper, but musically I've had my plate full. That's it, I'll get the thirty bucks and go see her. Maybe that'll help kick it off for me. |

Yes, she really is Ravi's daughter she just took her mother's maiden name. I imagine she did so she could play the style of music she does and not be expected to play classical Indian.
As for the second part of your question, I have no idea. |

| Anoushka is a sitar player, and plays with her papa at every show. She's great, although not as good as Ravi. You cna hook up with her by sending me three cartons of Camel Turks and a bottle of Wild Turkey. I'll take care of the rest. |

| Now I might be wrong, but I believe the reason Norah Jones is Norah Jones instead of Norah Shankar is because Although he is her father, she is an illegitimate child. And although she acknowledges him as her father, she did go through most of her life without even knowing him. But yea, I'm sorry that I'm adding to the digression of this thread. |

| Well today I was checking out some acoustics in the local shop and a guy came up and asked what it was that I was playing. I told him it was Decline in Reason by Tim Reynolds and he said it sounded good. So maybe I'm a protege. No j/k I'm no where near a protege I have my own style and actualy my own version of Decline in Reason. And I would never even consider to learning all of Tims solo's (Even if I could actually play them all) on Dave's songs when I can play my own. So guess I'm out of the question. But as for today maybe I made a new TR fan. |
