Guys, I have a question. Does anyone have a clip of Tim playing electric guitar? I know that he is mostly associated with the acoustic guitar or keyboards but there's no way Tim doesn't play electric guitar. I have tried finding them but most live clips including Tim have him playing the acoustic guitar. Thanks a lot guys! Frost

In the 1982 Hamilton video he plays electric guitar on Fire Drill, iirc. Now, the deeper question of “does he do anything other than strum chords”, I don’t believe so. His guitar playing has always seemed more a utility for songwriting (unlike his piano playing, which he seems pretty proficient at on it’s own terms).

So how proficient do you think his electric guitar skills is? I think his skills is definitely weaker than Neil, but he can play it, just not his job anyway. Neil and Phil played lead guitar for him anyway.

He's definitely a...

Hes playing a Fender Telecaster on Top Of the Pops while the band are miming to I Got You ...

He also plays bass on Mantra Mix which he also co wrote.

He's also 'playing' bass guitar for Strait old line on Countdown (Nigel was absent)...

There's a recent Andy/Tim interview on YouTube promoting the AT album. And Tim talks about playing electric guitar and his first guitar solo (on an album) on The Happiness Index. Gotta say the first time I heard The Happiness Index I thought that's the riff from Remember And Forget. Which was on club CD I Like It Rare 1. I think it was recorded around 92/93. Maybe as part of the Before And After sessions.
