I started playing guitar at the age of 14. Switched from the viola because the guitar promoted writing. I was self taught until I met Tom Hess. My influences: Dream Theater, Symphony X, Yngwie Malmsteen, Jason Becker, Marty Friedman, Greg Howe, Joe Stump, George Bellas, Rusty Cooley, Francesco Fareri, of course, Tom Hess, Chopin, Mozart, J.S. Bach, Rachmaninoff, and Shostakovich.

Albums: Currently working on material that should become my first solo album, which could possibly be done during 2006. I attended Berklee 5 week program and worked with Tom's band mate in Holyhell - Joe Stump. I am also a student in Tom's Music Careers Mentoring Program


"I think you are very well on your way to becoming an incredible shredder - Rusty Cooley"

"...And don't worry about what anybody else is doing... Stretch the boundaries, try new things you've never heard and ignore everyone. Push it! And I mean really! Your obvious passion, devotion and self-discipline is a recipe for longevity and mastery of the art - George Bellas"

"Tim Gibson I think is a young KILLER guitar player and is on his way to being a Monster player. Good tone, good songs, and great hands and very FAST with hot chops too. And I like his shredding. Hail to my new guitar friend and bro on HALO GUITARS - David Shankle"

"When Tim Gibson first came to me as a student, I could see right away enormous potential. Tim had the mental discipline that most people just simply don't have. It was immediately evident that Gibson was highly "left brain" intelligent, as well as very highly "right brain" creative. This is very rare, as most people generally are strong, in one area or another. Tim has evolved so fast, and so powerfully that it became obvious I was dealing now with a colleague, not a mere student. Today, Tim Gibson is truly a powerful new force in the domain of world-class virtuoso guitarists and guitarist composers - Tom Hess"
