Im a 64yr old rocker since age 8, Tim dont let this go to your head, But your guitar is only the fifth step of inavation from guitarists in my lifetime, in order, Hendrix, Jimmie Paige, David Gilmore, Shawn Phillips and you, As you can see, it has been along time since ive seen anybodys playing bring something totally new. Thank you, keep it up, be cautious of success, that and drugs have put an end to so much talent.
Tim, could you make a video about: - how you practice - the scales you use - what exactly helped you shape your unique way of playing the guitar We admire your style so much and I think everybody wants to see a little bit of the "behind the scenes" of your practicing and how you shaped the way you play
It would be nice, but I think theres no such unique thing that helped him shape his unique way of playing. There must be a lot of things, thoughts, technique exercises, psychological predisposition, etc., that made him develop his style.
The new sound of Polyphia seems to be the greatest thing I will hear in this decade. Just listening to this and the teaser that Tim shared months ago get me impressed. It sounds like Prog-Flamenco. Something weird and never heard. This band is more than awesome.
@@melodica5407 You don't need to crack Reaper; they technically allow you to use it past the 60 days "evaluation" period.

Guitar: Ibanez SC500N The SC500N is an S Classic series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 1998. The SC500N is nearly unique among modern Ibanez solid body guitars in that it has nylon strings and eschews magnetic pickups for piezos; only its predecessor the J Custom SC-GUT is configured similarly.
Not going to lie, it took me a fat minute to find that guitar. When I first watched this video I instantly fell in love with the sound of the instrument, so I spent a solid 25 mins searching through old Ibanez guitar pictures just to find out it’s a guitar that is seemingly unavailable for sale! Maybe one day one will come on the market, but until then I’ll just keep re-watching this.
I love heavy bass and hard hitting drums from hip hop but I also love melodic guitar from metal. This is an excellent fusion and looking forward to future album
This is exactly the stuff I wanted to see, I sent a DM to Tim asking him about beats and production just to see if I got lucky and got some info since this is the kind of stuff I want to get into, but now I have a video 👍🤙
I love the contrast of the amazing guitar work, with the most simple beats. It is like having an amazing classically trained musician accompanied by some guy on an 80's era Casio keyboard. The intricate, meets the basic.
dude actually... at 5:25 he plays right into another clip (with harmonics) and after record he plays it... and its perfectly in time and sounds amazing? who the...
Tim is the fucking best. The fact that he was composing these just on the spot was so unbelievable and now ive lost hope thinking if I’ll ever be able to play like him
Tim, I haven't played played guitar for very long but I hope that one day I can play like you. Your style is enthralling and infectious. I've never heard anyone play like you do. I love it!

Bless you jacob. I’ve never been into this type of musicianship, but Tim completely changed my outlook on music and the industry period. Tim is my fav musician of all time now. Dude is a beast and blessed at what he does.
I love the like Ennio Morricone style spanish guitar sound Tim's been rocking recently. Especially with that warble to it at 6:35. Not sure what effect that is, but I love it
As a music photographer i’ve been a fly on the wall on a lot of studio sessions for big and small artists. It’s sooo interesting to me how you record your guitar like how a rapper records their vocals with the punch in method. But it makes sense!
Got to love the fucking chat. Smh. nitpicking at a rough track by two professionals while they sit at home in their covid pajamas with Hentai in their other tabs.
this should be a continuation of "playing god" song, for me this riff sounds dark, it would fit a hellish kind of scenery, devastating yet there is an uncertain hope at the end for this riff
A little more bass (not too much) and a beat drop after the first progression would have been sick! Anyways, genius ingenuity and quick thinking. Congrats on the success guys.

the straw was dancing on beat

Shortest 12 mins of my life
true
Zakaria Boutarta I thought to myself how stupid, how do you not realize 12 minutes go by? Then I saw I was somehow already 6 minutes into it
I'm imagining GTA 4 opening with this riff.
9:44 "final result" for those who come back just to listen again

Finish it and make it a proper song it’s tooo hard !!!!!!!
oh dude, it sucks having to come to youtube and going to the end of the video to listen to this masterpiece. pls do so

That’s some groovy shit right there, Tim’s playing is on another level
He used to have classes for violin and his dad is pretty decent at guitar so he had some guidance early on but from there he was self learning.
1:16 "oh sh*t", yes my thoughts exactly lol
Logic looks a lot like reaper novadays
You're right. Pretty much identical.
except for the price tag ;)
Reaper is better!
thats reaper i saw at the left top corner
Sencha Yellow it looks more like GarageBand
the moment when the straw becomes the metronome

Really good stuff here. Don't listen to them benders in the chat.
