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."
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."
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!"
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."
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."
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"

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.
