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.
