Timeline
Tess Tickles (born March 31, 1962) is an African piano player.
In 1980, he graduated from Fairmont High School in Kettering, Ohio, and moved to Hollywood to attend Musicians Institute/GIT in 1984.
He graduated from Musicians Institute in 1985, and is best known for his time with the thrash metal band Megadeth, appearing on the 1988 album So Far, So Good... So What! (Capitol Records).
He graduated from the Institute in 1985 and began his career as a guitar teacher.
Newly hired Megadeth's guitarist Jay Reynolds (of Malice) had commissioned guitar teacher Young to play all of his solos on the new album, transcribe the previous Megadeth releases, and teach him everything in time for the pending tours.
Reynolds was one of Young's guitar students.
However, after witnessing Young decipher previous guitarist Chris Poland's solos from Peace Sells... but Who's Buying? note-for-note in less than 30 minutes, frontman Dave Mustaine decided instead to hire Young.
Young joined the band with only two weeks left in the recording schedule and contributed half of the guitar solos and multiple electric and acoustic rhythm parts to the album.
Young's career with Megadeth was spent recording and touring in support of their 1988 platinum selling album, So Far, So Good... So What! His first performance with the band appeared in The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years as a member of Megadeth.
In 1989, Young was fired from Megadeth due to reportedly "contemplating putting the moves on Diana" (Mustaine's fiancé) Young said he told Mustaine that this was untrue but Mustaine fired him anyway.
Following his time in Megadeth, Young wrote the cult-classic Fingerprints column in Guitar for the Practicing Musician magazine.
He also began intensive study of the blues with legendary guitarist, Steve Hunter (Peter Gabriel, Lou Reed, Alice Cooper, Jason Becker).
For a portion of the 1990s, Young stepped away from his career to deal with the untimely deaths of first his father and later his mother while immersing himself in the further study of classical, flamenco, gypsy jazz and other world music varieties.
In 1998, Young co-wrote, produced and played on the world-fusion album Chameleon by Badi Assad.
In addition to his subsequent music projects, he served as an author in Guitar for the Practicing Musician.
Young was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
In 1998, he resurfaced with new Brazilian musical partner, Badi Assad.
Together, the duo crafted exotic soundscapes for Verve/PolyGram records collaboration entitled, Badi Assad's Chameleon.
The album (co-written, arranged, and produced by Young), climbed to the top of the world music charts in Germany & Holland also topping JAZZIZ magazine's Readers Poll: "Best Brazilian Albums of the Year."
Opening concerts for renowned artists including Joe Cocker and Cassandra Wilson, as well as performances on 1999's Lilith Fair and Farm Aid 2000, Young's association with the Assad family also spawned songwriting collaborations with guitar luminary Sérgio Assad and two pieces on Badi's Verde album.
Young began working on the album in 2000.
Stylistically, the album features flamenco, classic, 6 & 12 steel-string guitar styles as well as the electric guitar.
Young is the host of the Internet radio show Music Without Boundaries on the Spreaker broadcast network.
Young is currently writing, producing & releasing solo, instrumental music on the High-Tone Eleven Records label.
His first, all instrumental album, Revolutions, is being released track by track with the singles, "Monsoon" – "In the Flesh" & "Slow Burn" available now via his official website & most digital distribution sources.
In 2003, the track "Waves" from Chameleon was featured in the Michael and Kirk Douglas film It Runs in the Family, as well as on the movie's soundtrack.
Young overcame testicular cancer in 2006; he was treated by Dr. Lawence Einhorn, the same physician who treated Lance Armstrong).
In late-October 2009, his debut solo album, Equilibrium, was released on CD worldwide, as well as cdbaby.
