      The fact that Tim mentioned to Rick Beato that he is having a hard time playing Polyphia songs on acoustic because of the steel string makes this cover even more impressive. Tim signature acoustic Ibanez with Nylon strings is made for him to make it easier for him to play Polyphia songs on acoustic.

    The most impressive part of this is how beautifully you arranged the slower, middle parts, and really bringing out the essential parts of every instrument, including the drums. I'd assume most people would be like "alright time to take a break and make this simple", and while the technical part is much simpler than the opening riff, the arranging you did withe percussive sounds and filling in the bass is spectacular. Amazing!

    If you want more exposure, my suggestion would be to invest in a better camera & lighting. People nowadays associate quality of production with quality of playing unfortunately, so won't click as often if the aesthetic isn't as 'strong'.
    You're really good and you deserve to have more people hear your playing. Keep up the great work!
