“I missed out on being in one of the biggest rock bands in the world, but I don’t think I had the image!” Session pro and YouTube favorite Tim Pierce never wanted to be a rockstar – but he’s sure made a lot of their records

When session man Tim Pierce looks back at his career, he doesn’t view himself as a legend who’s played on more than a thousand records; instead, his perspective is one of deep gratitude.

“It seemed like a dream I could fulfill,” he says. “It seemed like a scenario where I could be a working guitar player. But the real dream was to play on records.”
