1) Timothy David "Tim" Scott (born September 21, 1971) is an instrumental recording artist primarily known for his solo instrumental guitar compositions. These have subsequently given rise to his secondary side project/collaborations and sessions with the dance DJ’s and Producers: Judge Jules, Mike Koglin, Serial Diva, and Herd & Fitz.
Tim was born and brought up in Hazel Grove, a suburb of Stockport, England. In 1985 aged 14, Tim took up electric bass guitar one year later changing to electric lead guitar as he commenced studying for his GCSE music at Hazel Grove High School achieving a C grade overall but achieving an A in his composition.
He left school at 16 with four GCSE passes and went on to Salford College of Music “but dropped out before he got kicked out” [2] finding he could not cope with the written work due to his dyslexia.
In August, 1992 at the age of 20, Tim applied to study full-time on the 1 year Diploma course in modern Electric Guitar Performance at The Guitar Institute (GI), London (now known as: The Institute of Contemporary Music Performance or ICMP) commencing his studies on September 21, 1992 he graduated achieving the grade Pass on July 3, 1993.[3]
Scott's recording career began in 2003 when he self released his debut album Bald On The Inside, distributing it via Borders Books & Music Stores across the U.K..
This allowed him to gain valuable album reviews in the publications: Guitarist (magazine) [4], Guitar Techniques (magazine) [5], and Guitar & Bass Magazine.[6]
During 2004 he promoted the album by performing live in Borders Books & Music Stores throughout the UK which generated enough sales to put it inside their top 200 sellers list on occasion.[7]
July 2004’s edition of Guitarist (magazine) featured 4:AM 4am And I Can’t Sleep as the artist track on the cover CD, credited under: “This month’s highlights” in the main index section of the magazine.[8]
The favourable Bald on the Inside U.K. Guitar press reviews opened the opportunity for Tim to work alongside BBC Radio 1 DJ Judge Jules in a one day session at his London studio writing and playing the Flamenco Guitar on the instrumental guitar track "Puesta Del Sol" for Judge Jules debut artist album Proven Worldwide.[9]
20 July, 2005 Tim was invited back to the Guitar Institute or (GI), London (now known as: The Institute of Contemporary Music Performance or ICMP) to lead a Master class on his session guitar work in the dance scene.
Tim’s studio work with Judge Jules led to him being flown out to Ibiza to play live improvised guitar over his backroom Funky House/Dirty Electro DJ set at Judgement Sunday during the BBC Radio 1 weekend in Ibiza on August 15, 2005,[10] and August 13, 2006.[11],[12]
Guitar Mashing live!.During 2005 - 2008 Tim has been hired to perform his improvised live Guitar Mashing alongside some of the world’s most successful DJ’s in some of the UK’s and Ibiza’s most well known night clubs including: Ampersand, Manchester June 5, 2005 alongside Jon Fitz, The Bodyrockers, and singer Abigail Bailey all broadcast live on Galaxy Radio; Eden, Ibiza August 15, 2005 and August 13, 2006 alongside Judge Jules during The BBC Radio 1 Weekend;[13]Pacha, London October 7, 2006 alongside the Freemasons and the songstress Katherine Ellis; Syndicate, Blackpool March 23, 2008 alongside Judge Jules;[14]Ministry Of Sound, London May 30, 2008 alongside Judge Jules.
Since early 2005 Tim has been diligently developing ideas for his most recent album Guitar Mashing; his intended concept to bring together cutting edge production techniques with memorable instrumental guitar melodies. This idea was initially inspired by his love of Dance music, his live gigs in Ibiza, and also the virtuoso guitarists: Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Steve Lukather, and Jeff Beck whose music has significantly influenced Tim’s playing from the outset.
Since its initial November 26, 2008 physical release Guitar Mashing, Tim’s second, solo, studio album has received four star reviews in Guitarist magazine [15] and also Guitar Techniques (magazine).[16]
Total Guitar summed up Tim’s sound as: “…breaks boundaries by mashing his guitar mastery (think Vai and Satriani) with chilled Ibiza sounds.” [17] while Guitarist (magazine) described it as: “Although the phrase ‘painting with sound’ may come across as trite and unnecessarily pompous, in the UK guitarist Tim Scott’s case, it’s perfectly accurate.” [18]
Other national and regional magazines/publications that ran similarly favourable Guitar Mashing reviews included: Musician.,[19] Guitar & Bass Magazine,[20] CityLife magazine,[21] and the Stockport Express[22] with their article running on the front page of the entertainment section.
