    One of the best things about playing guitar is discovering new players that you can learn something from. I've been playing for over 20 years, and the best advice I think I could ever give any young players reading this is to never worry or think about how good you are compared to other players. Have fun with it. Get creative. Don't worry so much about speed. Think about melody, and let speed compliment it. You do not have to be blazing fast to be considered good. Be as good as YOU can be. Play things YOU love. Trust me.

    I like that Tim is maturing and putting behind the fictional persona from earlier phase of his career. Some artists never grow out of that fake persona in front of the public, and not that there's anything wrong with it, since they have their reasons for keeping it going (privacy, separating their public facing life from personal life, social anxiety, marketing gimmick, etc.) But this Tim is much more relatable and personable.

    Tim is making history and enjoying the process. Sure is inspiring, though I'll say his music comes from areas way outside of my comfort zone but like LoI Armstrong said, there's two types of music: good and bad. Well Tim is certainly entrenched in the first category.

      @@JohnWiku I see nothing wrong with that. Ibanez had already closed that door; that sounds more like a negotiation backed by determination rather than mere ego. Ibanez is a huge beast if he tiptoed they would have ignored him. At least to me it sounds like an artist asking for a brush saying that it would be great to be able to buy them there rather than having to look for it, after all they used to make it. But to fulfill it's patrons that brush was absolutely required and would go where needed should they were not in a position to fulfill the request.
      After all, one of the biggest differences I see between professionals and amateurs is the stakes. Your bank account is separate from your audience and being unable to fulfill their requests doesn't put ones own livelihood at risk.

Not only is it rare for music like this to be gaining so much traction, but it's rare for artists at this level to keep their head on their shoulders. I gain more confidence with every interview I see that he's successfully navigating fame's pitfalls. That's inspiring on its own.

    Anyway, I really love this interview. I just discovered Polyphia for the first time, and Tim is now my favourite guitarist, so it was really cool to listen to him talk about his passion. Even if I don’t understand most of it (not a guitarist or an instrumentalist at all, unfortunately… no opportunity or money…), I still really love to hear it. Keep it up. Love these up close interviews with musicians about their craft where you guys just geek out together. It’s amazing.
    And man… that Chino track is sick… all of Polyphia’s music is amazing so far, but I was wondering how vocals would sit with it. Couldn’t be happier with a result like that. It was intense.
