He took a bunch of chords that sound cool and then played the individual notes of each chord separately in order to form a melody. He then used a technique called harmonics to make it more interesting. That's it.
Bro this guy can just dismiss harmonics like they easy to play 😂 the talent of this man is insane he for sure gonna be one of the best guitarists of our future
Synyster Gates shared so much too and does lessons as well. I think Tim Henson is a close second for sure. Not trying to discredit Tim for what he’s done, I just think Syn has one of the most unique guitar sounds in rock/metal and has been sharing his stuff since the mid 2000’. I learned how to play a lot of avenged songs and developed my sound thanks to Syns videos.
Paul Gilbert is very much the same too. But he's a much better teacher than Tim. I mean, Tim's an amazing musician and genuinely seems like a really nice guy but he's not a great teacher.
It’s interesting to me how the chord sequence he started with is actually pretty traditional to the guitar - it sounds similar to flamenco and the Phrygian mode, and even aspects of the rhythm, phrasing, and use of harmonics hint in that direction. And, yet it is amazing how innovative and technical his performance is while remaining lyrical and accessible at the same time
I will admit, for a man, he looks like a really attractive female lol. None of his facial features or traits are 'masculine'. They are all beautiful in a feminine way. Ain't nothing wrong with that. He's very pretty lol
i bet a lot of people havent listened to the original song, this is just a demonstration of how he made the riff, its originally played on the TOD10N, an electro acoustic with nylon strings. so thats why it doesnt sound great in this video
Tim Henson: I have been playing for 30 years, and I must say I am blown away by your extreme talent. Your whole band is nuts, but you specifically have such soft hands when playing, it is just remarkable. For anyone new to guitar, even Polyhia is learnable with enough practice. Try 1/6 speed to start. Get a metronome. Go to 1/3 speed, then 1/2, then 3/4, then full speed, but break your practice into one phrase at a time. It is overwhelming, but doable.
Im thinking hes got the musician prodigy brain 😮 they just connect with their instruments, even though hes practiced plenty it just seems like he doesnt even think too hard about it.
I saw these guys live a couple months back and they played this. He does it perfectly live while just having fun! Tim Henson doesn't play god, he is god!
Ok so the video starts and im like what emo kid is that. Then he plays and I look into the face of every young rocker in the 60s and 70s. Got me kid, your skill deserves respect.

Haha. You're so clueless.

@@Animemusiclovasmad aye I don’t see your guitar videos. Seems like you’re just a jealous hack at the end of the day 🤷 prove me wrong 😂
I've been watching guitarists for 40+ yrs, and every so often one changes the course of music on the guitar. Tim is among the greats !
I half expected you to finish on a joking 'and Tim is not one of those guitarist'
Who are some others that you think changed course of music. Just curious
What are you 6? Lol
you can feel the "yeah i just did that" in his face in that final frame
This guy looks like a final fantasy character
Fr, i think he just has peculiar characteristics and features that seem novel
looks cool af ngl
I was about to comment this same exact thing 😂
Fr😂😂😂😂
He looks like an anime character, and thats the "music" he does. Generic anime npc intro

I appreciate how humble Tim seems. It’s as if he innocently believes everyone see’s the guitar through his eyes.
I love how his fingers just float effortlessly over the frets. It looks so graceful and part of the experience when hearing/watching him play.
Tim: so yeah I just had a piece of 2x4 and some ductape, but yeah here is my 2 story mansion i built
😂
Exactly 😂😂
That's the gist of it yeah😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah basically
Facts 😂😂😂😂
Imma pretend I just understood everything.
Gonna need a translator to tell us what he was talking about.
He took a bunch of chords that sound cool and then played the individual notes of each chord separately in order to form a melody. He then used a technique called harmonics to make it more interesting. That's it.
me too and i've never even touched a guitar
same
Same haha
Bro this guy can just dismiss harmonics like they easy to play 😂 the talent of this man is insane he for sure gonna be one of the best guitarists of our future
They are haha. It's all just practice
Natural harmonics are easy to play, you just touch the fret instead of holding it down.
Harmonics are easier to play than a regular note if you know where they are lol
@@Augrills No, they are not, a regular note is easier to make a clean sound with.
@@iDrraaaK For a beginner. For someone who knows where the natural harmonics are, it requires a lighter touch and less effort to hit them
the way he looked at the camera at the end was like "see, simple? now you do it"

Synyster Gates shared so much too and does lessons as well. I think Tim Henson is a close second for sure.

Nah. The original sounds better.
No way. That tone is actually gross. Original is substantially better.

Yeah but the riffs are so good to the ears that it makes you go dig up your gear in the garbage and practice their songs lol
As a human being, he inspired me to throw away all my fingers.
As a non guitarist he's inspired me to not dismiss the fact that guitars are art pieces. That is a gorgeous guitar and it sounds incredible.
One of the greatest guitarists EVER hands down. Unbelievable comfort eith the entire guitar, many techniques and rhythms, mastery bro. I cant.
Discovered these guys a few days ago. I am astronmically impressed
This dude is on a whole new level that I've never heard before
Timi Handlicks. I absolutely adore this human.

I know it's been a year but you should listen to the full song if you haven't already
Homeboy is out here doing harmonics like nothing, meanwhile I choke on my own saliva
You might want to get that looked at… just saying
I wonder where Tim gets all these frayed sweaters. I love ‘em
Glad to see creativity still peaking, I'm an old death metal fan but love seeing people mash music up on the guitars & drums

What are u talking about, it sounds orgasmic
It sounds more dark and dramatic like this. Wish they had a full version like it
It's like he's some kind of real life anime character. Dude looks and preforms like one too LMAO

“Hi, I’m Tim Henson, and I betcha can’t play this”
Understanding this is like understanding calculus at mid school while having only algebra as my background.😂
Bro can make any guitar tone sound gorgeous
just not this tone apparently
Such incredible ability to bring out the beauty of his guitar!
How Tim Henson would explain this to his younger self before he wrote Playing God.
not only the pretty face, he's also very talented at guitar
It’s more like the other way around though
Pause
Mid
Start
Bro looks like an anime protagonist
It just keeps getting more impressive
bruh its one thing to even play this, but then playing it this clean is so crazy
One of the Goats at such a young age!!
His whole look is immaculate
That face at the end was priceless 😅
idk who this is but it looks like a mild cold might take him out so I hope he wraps up warm
jesus christ that is the perfect description for how he looks
that or mild constructive criticism
one of the best guitarists in the world i think
He made polyphia??? Bro who are you? a literal nobody. Quit being a snowflake.
@@iliveinastateofconstantcon3859 technically. But I’m gonna put on some Led Zeppelin or Jimi’s blues album before I put on this “virtuoso”

this guy is the lost brother of Chris Heria
I THOUGHT THE EXACT SAME
They have multiple videos together
They have videos together and call each other brother hahaha
they both have a chinese mother and lots tattoos
😂😅😮
I read this as Jim Henson! 😪

Lots of creativity on that brain of his... It's cool to see him explaining some of the process of cooking this masterpiece 🤘
He's such a beautiful man

Have him all, not feeling what you feel at all.
look at him before the plastic surgery.
seeing the way you play the guitar makes me excited to become a professional harmonica player😭😭😭
FIRST TIME IVE SEEN A VIDEO OF ANYTHING BY THEM PLAYED AND ITS DOPE
This guy made me pick up my guitar after 10 years of not playing it
And he's also the same guy who makes me want to throw it away lmao
Nice, get to see some structure behind it
Has anyone ever looked so happy with themselves?
Tim henson such a humble guy
That guitar tone 😍
gotta b honest, i need dat sweater
"So yeah, u just like, ughh play 4 chords and then be a guitar god and yeah that's how you write riffs" lmao
For a second i forgot that i play something called a guitar 💀
Now this is talent...bravo❤❤❤❤❤❤
I see! When he explains it like that is makes it seem so SIMPLE!
Tell me your talented without telling me your talented 😅😅😂😂❤
Playing God is one of the most melodic and technically brilliant songs written in ages.
Is Tim Henson related to Jim Henson
No.
😂
How about Chris Hansen
one of the best tones ive heard
literal beast ! when someone is so talented that their music literally just makes you want to cry hearing it... ❤️
Please tell me why this guitar tone wasn’t the one used in the song
You wouldn't be able to make out all the insane playing with all that distortion and reverb if it was actually used on the song.
@@blakebrown534 yes, but the chords + electric guitar tone would’ve amounted to a greater song than the arpeggios + nylon guitar
Possibly. I'd certainly be interested in hearing them do it that way just for comparison@@mathiasklein8143
He deserves those tattoos
Also, I respect him a lot now
He seems like a sweetheart but I need him to play some chapstick…
The lips look painful
Tim wears makeup but can't bother to get a chapstick haha I feel ya
He makes it look so freaking easy 😩
Bro does it so effortlessly
What were you thinking about when u wrote this
