|  | | TIM GIBSON |
| | Having spent time studying under Berklee College of Music professor Joe Stump and Magic Circle Music recording artist Tom Hess, Tim Gibson has become well versed in the styles of shred, jazz/fusion, funk, rock, blues, and metal. He has rapidly gained recognition from other guitarists in the industry who have witnessed his playing:
"I think you are very well on your way to becoming an incredible shredder."
Replica records and Lion Music recording artist Rusty Cooley (Outworld)
"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 – Touring guitarist for Virgin Records recording artist Korn
Often a guest columnist for instructional guitar sites on the internet including shredacademy.com and chopsfromhell.com, he also has been featured on many releases worldwide which has resulted in endorsements from companies such as Dava Picks.
