Tim is the author of the best-selling book The Melodic Jazz Guitar Chord Dictionary, an Emmy award winning composer and a sought-after session guitarist.

Tim is playing a Telecaster with a pair of Lollar's Charlie Christian for solid body pickups in the neck and middle positions (the middle originally being a custom build that we made for him, now a stock offering) and a Blade Style (BS) Tele bridge, into a Fender Princeton Reverb amp.
