Can we just admire the HUMILITY from both these guys? Tim is patient with teaching him while not showing off and Mike is willing to film himself getting a lesson from him mistakes and all.
We are all where we're supposed to be when it comes to learning a new skill. You can only improve from where you are. I think they both have learned that from their own trials and know that sharing what you love with those that love it is rewarding on both sides.
Mike: What is that, an FMaj9? Tim: I have no idea Love it. He looks so excited to be engaged with you on his music and just having fun. What a cool experience!
if im not mistaken, at the start of polyphias career i believe tim actually offered guitar lessons for fans which is probably why hes so good at teaching.
@@devilixh253 when Polyphia did the contest for Playing God cover, one of covers was a bassist and the rest of the band was like,"This is your student right?" and he acknowledged it and was like "yeah he's sick" if I had to guess he probably only works with a select few
I’m a huge Mayer fan and Tim Henson is like the opposite kind of guitar player… and somehow he’s also become one of my favs. The dude is just sooo technically deft while not loosing any feel. Scott le page is really good too, his solos go HARD
@@happygster922 I just mean the type of music he makes and his techniques are very different. He’s more of a technical, mechanical player, where Mayer is more bluesy and improv based. Both are great, and yes both take a little bit from Hendrix but they’re undeniably very different stylistically
@@GuerillaWar4s man I don’t feel like arguing with you. They’re just different players. They literally play different, the way they hold the guitar, their wrist angle, their touch and feel are completely opposite to each other. That’s my perspective anyways and if you disagree that’s cool. I really don’t care so can y’all get your panties out of a bunch?
I do really appreciate that Tim is just one of those naturally gifted players. He’s obviously put in a million hours playing but he’s not like a Tosin Abasi type guy that knows so much about theory and music that he’s actually adding to the literature, Tim just knows what he’s doing as a consequence of loving what he’s doing kind of like a lot of us jamming in our basements…. The guy is younger than me and he’s my guitar hero 🤘😂
It's one thing to try to fit many of the most complicated techniques smoothly into a single song, but to make the song sound so damn good and not just overloaded...that's the genius of Tim Henson.
I think you're misreading the situation. His first instrument was violin. His knowledge of classical theory is quite comprehensive. But he didn't learn to think in chords like a jazz or contemporary player would, he learned to think in notes and phrases (like a classical player would).
I was looking for someone mentioning Tosin. He's the guy who made this style popular, even if in a more complicated, metal-influenced version. Tim basically toned it down to a sort of avantgarde pop. As he says himself: He's taking relatively simple, but unusual chord progressions and arpeggiating them in that style that, to me, clearly bears Tosin's handwriting. And I don't mean that negative at all, I'm always happy to see avantgarde styles influencing popular music, and it's unsurprising that Tosin would have an influence.
My adult son turned me on to Tim Hensen’s genius! I’m a 68 year old cellist who teaches privately and I so appreciate all genres of music! I absolutely love Tim Hensen and subscribed to his channel! Love this!
Tim seems so genuinely nice in every video I see of him. It’s so refreshing to see people like he Will Ramos just destroy their genres with innovation while remaining so nice. Love it.
It's a nice change of pace from all the goons feeling like they have to flex constantly...it gets so fucking tiresome...Misha Mansoor is the exact same way....and Tosin...really good dudes.
Randy Rhoads used to take guitar lessons when he would go on tour and he had just arrived in a new city. Worst case scenario, he was warmed up for his show. Best case scenario, he learned something new.
I used to do that when I was touring a lot. I couldn't do it for every show, but on a 3-month run I might get 10 lessons. I totally ripped Randy off and it's the smartest thing I ever did. If you can afford it, it's 100% worth the money. People teach their philosophy, in a manner of speaking. You can tell how a person thinks about music from the way they play, and getting lessons from a lot of different people will expose you to not just a bunch of cool tricks but also a lot of different angles to approach music from. It's really cool to tap into those veins of thought in my own playing. Sometimes I want to play really singable melodic parts, sometimes I want to have fun with phrasing, sometimes I want to do geometry, and on and on. It gives you not only techniques to explore, but entire mindsets. tl;dr get lessons from a lot of different people if you have the ability to do so
@@actualturtle2421 I admire how Randy didn’t see himself as “too good” for lessons. My favorite guitarist is EVH, but I can guarantee you he wasn’t taking lessons from anybody after 1978.
@@TylerJohnstonGuitar Eddie wanted to be a rock star, Randy wanted to be a great musician. Nothing wrong with either path, but you can definitely tell which was which.
Tim is a chill dude. Never shows frustration when teaching his music. Watched him teach a kid one of his songs and stayed with it completely enthusiastic
i gotta tip my hat to you, not many guitarists would upload a video where the many content is them lighting their brain on fire struggling to learn a new riff, it was cool to see that. so often now youtubers just upload the polished finished product it makes us forget that they're humans that have to build up the muscle memory to learn and play stuff like this, and just makes me feel more validated as a guitarist because that's me about 75% of the time is just struggling to play something new. big fans of both you and tim and was very excited to see this video pop up on my feed.
Sometimes I get the feeling that theory was a purpose cause to keep creativity at bay. Go back in history and all the greats either didn't know theory or read music. They simply played what sounded good. Victor Wooten scratched the surface in his book. I went back to watch many blues and flamenco players Robert Johnson Wes Montgomery.. Paco de Lucia Diego del Gastor et al...zero theory zero schooling. Sadly the money making machine took over and so many stuck on theory...it is helpful but just slows many greats down...imho.
@@samiam3297 If you actually go back in history you realize they didn't have a means of recording audio. Theory is a means of communicating music, a standard for written communication from a time when they couldn't just record the idea on their iphone for later.
Listened to you , had never heard of Tim Henson , watched a video ( Playing God ) . Picked my jaw up of the floor , came back to this video . Currently digesting Tim's style on guitar . Very new and fresh , and very unfamiliar to me . Reminds me of Stanley Jordan as far as being his own man .
I love this video, you show the actual real process of guitar players teaching each other new stuff. In real life it takes some time, but Tim seems like a good teacher and you are a quick learner.
i honestly thought guitarists at this level always know which chords and notes theyre playing at all times.. kinda inspiring to see thats not always the case :)
I really love this very kind version of Tim Henson much more than the "too f***cking cool" Tim Henson I seen before, especially with his band mates. Have always wondered if that's just an image. Great video :)
Every man in polyphia is super kind, and super chill from what I know. They just also happen to be really cool lol, but not 2 kool for school kind of cool. They also seem to be very humble and always willing to share their passion and craft. Love them heaps.
Tim seems like a really nice guy. Proper chill and patient! Also like how he's not too fussed about chord names and just plays what sounds right. Nothing wrong with that at all!
I am so thankful I can play by ear as I watched Tim’s tutorial on GOAT twice and was able to play it, Tim has and incredible knowledge of song writing where you base it on chords and bass notes and build around that
"Is this Fmaj9?" Tim: "I have no idea." I love this guy. He is just throwing himself out. Learned how to make it sound like what is inside no matter how they call it nor how they use to do it. This is the essence of great creativity and progress. There are two ways: 1. One can be confronted with something bad and decides to dedicate his life for the solution to make it better 2. One can just do and follow his instinct no matter how things are done to achieve a different goal which probably is better. It is that Tommy Emmanuel kinda thing where you accidentally or by circumstances found your obsession and decide to dedicate a life to it. Not wasting time in theory lessons and stuff like that but getting it done. It takes a huge talent both in the instrument and also in teaching yourself by critical self-criticism with constant work. I can not show more respect for the personal achievements and the relevance for our species than for these guys. If parents won't waste time to just keep their kids busy but would clearly aim for finding each individuals obsession and if education would more enable individuals to just do it the whole civilization would turn into a kinda nice environment for human beings. As soon as the current madness faded. So to say.
Isn't that wonderful? A very accomplished player like Tim Henson genuinely feels like there is always more to learn. Love the way you play Mike such a smooth guitar player. A master yet a humble student same time.
Nice. He always seems like such a great teacher with immeasurable patience. I know how hard it can be getting outside your comfort zone when playing but it's always worth it.
Goose is maybe my favorite song to play on guitar. Just feels so good to play with all of the different techniques going on throughout the song. Super awesome that you got to meet Tim
Tim Henson is just a monster on any guitar… I’ve been playing 30 years… granted I’m a singer.. I play very well… and sing better than I play guitar… but this kid makes me wanna practice more and more … he’s just amazing! Wow first time I heard him my jaw dropped! ❤
Dude! You are all in on music and I just enjoy playing when I can. As you know there is so much out there that we cannot possibly digest in a lifetime. EJ caught my attention way back then. Hearing Tim and crew blows my mind !
Very funny. Tim is awesome. When I first started following the band. I expected someone arrogant but instead learned what great people they are. Funny and pretty down to earth when they talk to people. He doesn’t hold things as far as techniques like some secret. He is completely open about how they do their music. It just seems everything they do is about bringing their fans into their circle. I have a lot of respect and appreciation for them. I always walk away with the feeling that they love music. Yes it’s what they do and you would expect musicians to love music. But I would argue for some it sometimes just feels like a job for them. Polyphia just always makes me feel like they have just started a couple years ago with the level of passion and energy they put into what they do. To be this far along in their careers and still feel the way they do is amazing and interesting. They are the type of band that will continue to evolve I just hope it’s music I will enjoy as much as what they are doing right now.
dude this make me so happy! there's nothing more fun, as a guitarist, then just sitting down and jamming with another player. I can tell you had fun, I had fun watching. I really want to see that progress vid btw
the reason this doesnt get more views is because of the thumbnail.. just looks like fake clickbait. if it was actually a wide angle shot of you sitting in the room together it would be way bigger.
Hey Mike! I suggest you change the thumbnail to a picture and you and Tim sitting on the couch, that way people don't assume that it's clickbait. More people will watch it I think.
Bro been watching your channel for about a year now,its amazing how fast you've grown n now you hanging out with Tim!🤯 Congratulations and mad dopeness bro✌🏿✨
I first saw a short of him about 3 months ago on TH-cam. That inspired me to check him out so I spent some time doing just that. Yes he's impressive with spider like fingers. He seems like a pretty nice guy.
I love the fact that you will always learn something even if your a Virtuoso!! They both amazing players... I am only a little over a year playing guitar and as an older dude, most of my problems are dexterity. That is most of my practice time lol! I know that takes time! Awesome video!!
Bro Tim used his ears and fretboard so much that he never cared for the chord names, he just went by sound. That's incredible. Polyphia's music is also a lot different. Tim didn't learn or listen to the old songs like other guitarists so his original music is a ton different from others.
I can’t even watch right now, but clicked to give a like and comment because I’m glad to see you coming up doing cool stuff like getting to talk to Tim. I think this channel will be up there with the Paul David and Rhett Shull sooner than later 🤙 great stuff
Really cool to see Tim in the teacher role, he does a great job. So that defeats the saying "those who can't do, teach" as he definitely can do and also teach, awesome stuff!
Guess that what the pick is for it can really give so much emphasis on a note and make you feel a beat without being precusion or unpitched like a dead note
I've started watching your channel when you were doing short little skits, cool to see your channel evolving. You freakin' got TIM HENSON on your video, pretty wild lol.

Funny and pretty down to earth when they talk to people. He doesn’t hold things as far as techniques like some secret. He is completely open about how they do their music. It just seems everything they do is about bringing their fans into their circle. I have a lot of respect and appreciation for them. I always walk away with the feeling that they love music. Yes it’s what they do and you would expect musicians to love music. But I would argue for some it sometimes just feels like a job for them. Polyphia just always makes me feel like they have just started a couple years ago with the level of passion and energy they put into what they do. To be this far along in their careers and still feel the way they do is amazing and interesting. They are the type of band that will continue to evolve I just hope it’s music I will enjoy as much as what they are doing right now.
"is that a Fmaj9?"
"Could be i have no idea"
Lol love learning by shapes and ear
Honestly I thought this was click bait so I avoided cliking on the video.
You actually got Tim.
You goddamn madlad.
dude this make me so happy! there's nothing more fun, as a guitarist, then just sitting down and jamming with another player. I can tell you had fun, I had fun watching. I really want to see that progress vid btw
the reason this doesnt get more views is because of the thumbnail.. just looks like fake clickbait. if it was actually a wide angle shot of you sitting in the room together it would be way bigger.
Hey Mike! I suggest you change the thumbnail to a picture and you and Tim sitting on the couch, that way people don't assume that it's clickbait. More people will watch it I think.
3:47 tim reached for the whammy bar hahaha
both of you are such down to earth cool guys, it's always great to see that as the skill of a player improves, so does their humility
Bro been watching your channel for about a year now,its amazing how fast you've grown n now you hanging out with Tim!🤯 Congratulations and mad dopeness bro✌🏿✨
Tim’s reaction to Mikes ‘song’ seems so wholesome at 2:27 lol

I first saw a short of him about 3 months ago on TH-cam. That inspired me to check him out so I spent some time doing just that. Yes he's impressive with spider like fingers. He seems like a pretty nice guy.
Steve Vai says to Tim Henson, 'I can't do what you do' Tim couldnt careless. He was just happy to befriend Steve vai after making Ego death.
I just got a ticket to see them in Australia!! I'm so keen
Ok, so im not the ONLY one that looks like an idiot when someone is trying to teach me a song on the spot 😅

Super cool! I’d love to sit down with both if you guys and get a lesson.
Just sitting and talking guitar with Tim is worth the travel…
found it very cool watching two guitarists that i follow work together and one each the other just like us normal players haha
Only 5 seconds in and I literally laughed and replayed it 4x.
Best guitarist joke ever
just discovering tim and polyphia very recently and everything i see with the dude is so humble!! has become my fave player easily
Tim on that PR tour. Good thinkin' my dude. Much love from DFW.
THIS IS AMAZING 😱😱😱
i like how you can tell the door to the left is opened with feet a lot.
As somebody who is trying to learn, um, easier things… I appreciated watching this.
When he played Goose on the guitar, that was very eargasm and the most classical shit i've ever heard
I love the fact that you will always learn something even if your a Virtuoso!! They both amazing players... I am only a little over a year playing guitar and as an older dude, most of my problems are dexterity. That is most of my practice time lol! I know that takes time! Awesome video!!
Some say Mike is still learning the riff to this day 😂
Bro Tim used his ears and fretboard so much that he never cared for the chord names, he just went by sound. That's incredible. Polyphia's music is also a lot different. Tim didn't learn or listen to the old songs like other guitarists so his original music is a ton different from others.
Goose is my all time favorite song to hear just Tim play! That riff is magical for me😂
I can’t even watch right now, but clicked to give a like and comment because I’m glad to see you coming up doing cool stuff like getting to talk to Tim. I think this channel will be up there with the Paul David and Rhett Shull sooner than later 🤙 great stuff

You know damn well we wanna hear you play that lick
This is amazing!! Hahaha love the collab!
Really cool to see Tim in the teacher role, he does a great job. So that defeats the saying "those who can't do, teach" as he definitely can do and also teach, awesome stuff!
I want to hear the practiced version!
This is ridiculously wholesome AND rock and roll.

What an awesome session!
da fuck man that's incredible
Mike: "What is this? Ah... an FM9 XYZFDF@#$@#$?"
Tim: "Could be... I have no idea! hehehehehe" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This part gets me every single freaking time!
is it just me or am I starting to see tim henson everywhere
guitaring is amazing
I NEVER KNEW I NEEDED THIS UNTIL NOW!
Am I the only person that noticed how it sounds like there’s a metronome going whenever Tim starts to play 😂
Guess that what the pick is for it can really give so much emphasis on a note and make you feel a beat without being precusion or unpitched like a dead note
When you said that I began hearing it too 😆
I've started watching your channel when you were doing short little skits, cool to see your channel evolving. You freakin' got TIM HENSON on your video, pretty wild lol.
