Tommy Emmanuel maybe a great choice. He has amazing skills and knowledge touching in acoustic and classical music. Probably lots of other amazing musicians that I am not thinking of or have not heard yet.

Bar chords: Notice how Tim holds his guitar. If the head of the guitar is on the same level as your head, bar chords are much easier. If your neck is horizontal and you are scratching the middle of the guitar back with your belt buckle, bar chords are nearly impossible. Tim is holding his guitar in the manner players used when the body shape was being developed. The way Tim is holding his guitar, is the way guitars are designed to be played.

I discover Polyphia few months ago, I growing up with guitarists like John Frusciante (the best for me) and other group like Metallica, Slipknot etc.
Polyphia just bring fresh air in music, they re so talented, definitely the best band in that new generation in my opinion.
When you make a song with Steve Vai, you know you good Love them

Wow, awesome to see Tim Henson on the show! I would like to maybe correct the thing he said about djent tho. If you want to get a juicy sound, you should probably use less palm muting. Most of the muting should be done with the left hand imo to control the length of notes and get some variation with more percussive notes.

I don't understand how boomers would be upset about a classic, iconic, instantly recognizable, sound like the boomer bend as a bad thing. It's literally named after the generation that invented it, made it iconic and changed the face of music forever
If Boomer bend offends you, maybe you need a safe space: )

wonder why he picked such a bad tone for this video? its way to much gain & reverb for demoing techniques to people who aren't even that familiar with the instrument. and he's playing so harsh with that loud tone it doesn't make any sense to me. its just offputting.

very cool. one note though is that if the guitar action is not too bad, the intonation can be adjusted almost to perfection with the little adjustable bridges under each string at the bottom. so its still possible to have good intonation on a cheap guitar.

I don't know if intonation is a static characteristic of the guitar so much as something that needs to be adjusted. Better-built guitars may handle intonation adjustments and other setup better, and almost always are far more stable, stay in tune better.

It's nice hearing him be serious and chill. In alot of older interviews he came off very hipster like and basically like he was trying to sound cool and cocky. Very off putting. This was a really cool change. Amazingly talented musician.

Top takeaways: If you can sing it, you can play it. And then to be original, consume a lot art in different genres and styles and your output should be something original (some amalgamation of your input, aka how AI works but better.

Playing by ear is a skill wherein your ability to tell the difference between pitches is required. If you are tone deaf and can t tell whether the difference between notes is going up or down, it s going to require a lot of training.

You know in my life time I would like to see Tim Henson teach Michael Reeves how to play guitar and in return I'd like to see Michael make a face tracking guitar that blinds people that scream to loud at a concert

3: 00 something Tim does but doesn't mention here is that he swipes his middle finger downwards to pluck the string so that, when it releases, the frets he is fingering with his left hand are pronounced fully

Thinking of singing along to the guitar solos. thats what i miss about old polyphia, like Renaissance era, is because the guitar parts were more simple and catchy and easy to sing along to

I'm not a huge polyphia fan, but I'm always jawdropped watching tim Henson play, I feel like it must be the same feeling people had when EVH was just coming up on the scene
