Tim Simmons is a dynamic, vital guitarist from West Memphis, Arkansas (U.S.A.) who describes his style as melodic rock, as documented on his latest release, "Eternal Dream". His guitar of choice is a 'Brown guitar' (custom). Simmons has played guitar since 1974, and openly affirms his career goal, "Earn a living by doing sessions, teaching, recording more CDs, audio mastering, soundtracks, etc."
When requested to name his preferred effect for the guitar, Simmons responded with, "Loads of distortion," and submitted his musicial goals, "Probably a bit of bittersweetness. Beautiful, yet somewhat melancholy." He would like to someday study visual arts (painting, sculpting, creating miniature scenes), and is currently listening to nothing in particular. His greatest satisfaction? "Playing the guitar," he states indisputably.
Simmons notes ongoing and upcoming projects thusly, "Dreaming of a time when once again I'll be able to play the guitar and use my now injured fingers."
Guitar Nine Records visitors have compared the playing style and/or musical approach of Tim Simmons to guitarists such as Joe Satriani and others.
Simmons's discography (available here at Guitar Nine Records) includes one solo album ("Eternal Dream").
