Tim is a fantastic guitarist. That being said he writes hiphop beats on the computer and takes bass notes rhythm and melodies notes that he programmed for the beat and plays those notes on guitar. Very creative sounding...very fun. But if you think he just sat down with the guitar and this came out after messing around on the neck..you are delusional. The playing is impressive. The sound is impressive. But the writing process is...eh. I don't want to say its cheating...let's just say he didn't write these epic riffs on the guitar. He wrote them on the computer, and then he transcribed it to guitar.
@@castle6660 wait, so you're telling me he's taking a different approach to writing music? WHAT?! How dare he go away from traditional ways of writing riffs for the guitar! is that why he sounds so different than everyone?
Fian Villaranda랴무 honestly that's pretty accurate. They just play a lot with non-major modes and scales, and most newer songs seem to be around the same key since usually that seems to be the trap aesthetic (given that sub bass parts usually only hit the hardest at certain frequencies/in certain keys). They also use faster hi hat and drum patterns that reference both metal and trap music, so really it's a melting pot of genres that it's awesome they've found. Earlier stuff of their's was pretty straightforward, and so was the image they put out with it, so it's great to see them embrace something that includes so many different styles to create a unique one
I'll be the first person to say that I've never heard of Tim Henson but what I saw him do in the shred collab was amazing to the point that I've now watched every video on his channel. During this short endeavor I gleamed that he's in a band called Polyphia and after watching a few of their videos I went and bought their latest album called New Levels New Devils and I've gotta say that I'm quite floored by it. This was yet another awesome thing that I will now associate with Christmas and I'm very much looking forward to what Tim and his band do next.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Polyphia. They meme and fuck around a lot, but they're good dudes lol. Check out their song, "Look But Don't Touch." I've listened to them for a long ass time, and that's probably my favorite.

@@toro6466 There is plenty of room in the human soundscape for individuality which doesn't necessarily require this level of shred talent. Please don't let Tim's greatness deter you from reaching out to find your best.
I've played guitar for decades, since I saw Yngwie live in '84. I've seen all the techniques -- but this is the coolest thing I've heard since I don't know when. The technique is the means to an end. That's what everyone says it *should* be, but it so rarely is, and Tim actually embodies it here. The notes, the timing, the tasty mix of muted and ringing, etc. Wow. A+, 10/10, as cool as it gets. A little gem of musical art to be admired for eternity. He has another video where he walks through how to play it, but I bought the tab anyway just to toss him a couple of bucks in appreciation. Take pity on the musically hopeless, soulless creatures who downvote this video.
Yeah it's sick. I'm learning the GOAT riff rn and it's amazing how many techniques he uses... First chord is hybrid picking, then there's a note sliding up, then an harmonic, then a *gasp* normal note, then an harmonic, then a hybrid picking chord, then taping, then an harmonic... It's a mess but it sounds so good
@@furiousmat Yeah it's called the Tim Henson effect. Tim's so good that guitarists on instagram have to speed up and pre-edit their music to keep up with Tim's guitar skills. I'm not a huge fan of the genre itself, but damn, Tim is clearly a virtuoso, and there's clearly people who are literally "miming" his style. I really have my theories on this.

Idk. Personally I love Polyphias style because it's unique but so familiar almost like a lullaby. A lot of there songs are on major pentatonic scales but they just make it sound so euphoric and feel like your sipping on some champagne and a 40 oz. (no pun intended 😎)
@@TheTF2Pianist Can you tell what harmonies he's using? I know you can use a pitch shifter to get the harmonies, but I can't really tell whether he's using a fourth, or fifth above (it seems like he's playing a lower note but the effect plays a higher note, if that makes sense)

I always thought the evolution of guitar was pretty much settled by people like Shawn Lane, Greg Howe, Daniele Gottardo, Guthrie Govan. I truly thought playing couldn't get more technical because of these for mentioned players. Then this kid comes along with a clean compressed sound and simply reinvents the instrument with technique for days. And the speed is absolutely mind-boggling.
You said it man. I'm 43 years old and just when I thought I've seen it all on the guitar.... These damn kids swoop in and save the day. Crazy to think about what the next mind blowing shit is going to be and how this can be topped...... But I guarantee you it will..... Somehow although it doesn't seem possible right now.... Wow!
First hes 28, second he edits and pre-records a lot, he takes inspiration from so many computer generated melodies and hooks, third he has the equipments for that extreme comfortable gear, that is not a clean compression its such a heavily processed presets that these guys are using. Comparing him to gilbert, lane, guthrie is an insult.
This is my ringtone and i like this so much that when the phone rings, i don't answer it cause I'd want to hear it and i miss many calls due to it. worth it!
I didn't know Tim untill i saw the shred collab and i gotta say well it was fun to watch all of the shredders there and there was Tim, he was the ONLY ONE who gave me goosebumps and i don't get often goosebumps lately because of music because there isn't a good enough music these days so thank you and i hope you will eventually make a song out of this piece of heaven
I’m back to listen to this again for the millionth time and it gets better every time. How can someone play so technically proficient, almost bordering on robotic, but with so much feel that it’s near superhuman?
Biggest shred collab was my first introduction to polyphia and it has been the most life changing video I have ever seen. This remains one of my absolute favorite riffs.
Tim's part was, in my opinion, far and away the best one. I can't stop re-listening to it. The fact that his part stands out so much in a vid with so many amazing musicians is a testament to not only his talent but how original his style is. Saw Polyphia in Montreal last month, what a great show!
It's my first time here and also definitely my last time. Not saying I dislike this, rather that I do like this, but I don't see myself re-watching a video like this again,
This particular part from this particular shred is the most bespoke shredding that still completely melts faces... Like my face was melted, but at a nice soulful black tie event. This track was how I discovered polyphia and completely altered my understanding of how a guitar could be used to make music...
In a world.... Where guitar virtuosos surface every 5 seconds... A dude with a penchant for musicality leveled the playing field with some gorgeously melodic trip-hop shredzy-malone phrasing... Music would never be the same...
Ugh, so freaking tasteful. This is the difference between a great guitarist and a brilliant guitarist, he shows virtuosity while rremaining super tasteful, most of the other shredders can’t do it. Generational talent, I wonder where his journey will go
@@jellyrollmorton2051 Great to hear. Composition and arraignment aside I hear a few remarkable things about his performance. But i don't know what in particular you mean by "tasteful".
AAn BBe that’s my bad. I wrote that comment and posted it as soon as I heard it. I didn’t do my research. You have to admit he looks pretty young. Anyway, I really like how he plays the guitar. Haha.
This is really the best piece of music I’ve heard in m whole life. When my Guitar teacher showed this to me 3-4 Years ago i instantly knew, this guy is the #1. There is no one like him. He is the Jimmy Hendrix of our time
@@stipeplazonic8108 Just to be fair, I looked that up. I see what you mean in terms of the melodic style mixed with metal... Though I can't agree that they're on the same level as Polyphia. The way Tim weaves his melodies across the guitar neck is more technical and virtuousic than both guys from that other band combined... Even trying to put aside any bias because I genuinely liked the song quite a bit! I just don't think you can say the guy in that band is at Hendrix's level of innovation, Tim kind of is.
I sold my electric guitar last year, now I'm here with my acoustic. Managed to learn G.O.A.T, The Worst and Goose Riff. But this is a fucking monster. I'm gonna get this, no matter how long it takes
Well, if you’re talking about actual technical soloing... NOBODY shredded as excellently as Stephen Taranto. Not even Jason Richardson. Stephen has an unmatched flow of ideas where every note is seamlessly connected back-to-back. Easily the best technique and most imaginative technical passages. I did like Tim’s solo, though. This was a collab which featured a lot of variety that was exciting to witness, but if the standard is the usual technical display of prowess, then Stephen is undeniably the winner. For me, the proof is not only in Stephen’s superior tone to similar shredders like Richardson. It’s how difficult it is to seamlessly connect various areas of the neck and play passages that keep the listener guessing. He demonstrated the best technique and creativity within the shred paradigm.
@@dm5802 I felt this way for so many songs by polyphia, but now I've listened to much and I've gained a tolerance. I need something stronger to get that eargasmic feeling again.
@@NahImBats lmao yeah i go through favorite songs sooo fast because i loop them like 24/7. Now I stop myself from overplaying them but this one's so goooood i can't stop myself
Tim this was the best solo of all the 2019 shred collab. Your playing is simply amazing! I did not know of you prior to the collab. You have a new fan! And so does Polyphia!
this is where I discovered Tim, out of the whole collab it was apparent this was the best part, i had to see more. Man was I not ready. Greatest guitarist of our generation. My ears are blessed to live in the era of Tim. i'm not even a guitarist but i could listen to this man all day. Doesn't take much to see and hear his talent. sorry if this sounds too fanboy-ish but i love this man.
This is what happens when Jimi Hendrix and a robot have a baby, taught it some classical riffs, forced it to listen to Funk for a month, then fed it some LSD and turned on a video recorder.
Back when this was release in the shred collab, I was about to sell my old guitar and just give up cause I grew bored of blues and classic shred. Then I heard this. Since then, I bought a new guitar and learned so much. So thank you. I hope the new album does the same to many more people
First time seeing Tim Henson, found through Jared Dines collab. Absolutely fantastic guitar work and clean techniques - love the sweeping combined with the alternate finger picking. Really enjoyed the blend of scale sweeping, alternate picking, and the beat change - gave it a classical/metal/hip-hop vibe. Talented guy right here, looking forward to seeing more of your work
Kudos to the guitarists in that vid, but a lot of it was sort of generic shred. Hadn't even heard of Polyphia but when this solo came up it really caught my attention and I had to look it up.
This song/riff has inspired in so many ways. I’ve been playing for 15 years and the technically of Tim’s playing is honestly hard for me to comprehend. A true modern guitar hero
Wow bro, I love your solo, everyone was playing as fast as they can and using tapping most of the time, and suddenly u appeared with that beat and a great flow in the guitar
Still one of the most epic Tim Henson moments after all these years. Pulling this gem on a shred collaboration is what sets him apart from other ultra technical players, this guy is a real artist.
You've inspired me to use more hybrid picking and evolve my playing. I've been stagnant for a while and I appreciate the motivation my guy. Happy holidays
He's abso-fucking-lutely great, but many people don't realize that the backtrack of the riff plays a massive impacts for the riff to be this cool. But eventually to be able to compose something like that is so out of this world
Can’t stop watching this. It’s been on repeat for almost an hour now... quite possibly the most interesting piece of music I’ve ever heard. Otherworldly to say the least
It's one thing to be able to play this but to compose something like this pretty much makes you a genius.
Exactly what I always think, I've been trying to get the goose intro down for a week now. He wrote the whole discography 🙄 And he's like 4 😥
Exactly, it's incredible. This guy is a songwriting genius. I feel like he just lives and breathes this shit which is why he's so good at it.
Dark Glass some of the riffs in goose scott wrote, but the bridge riff (the one tim wrote) was fucking perfect

I'm still struggling to comprehend how he makes the guitar sing like he does? I've listened to this so many times, it blows my mind.
@@terrycolletti8645 he's 27 lmao hardly a kid
First hes 28, second he edits and pre-records a lot, he takes inspiration from so many computer generated melodies and hooks, third he has the equipments for that extreme comfortable gear, that is not a clean compression its such a heavily processed presets that these guys are using. Comparing him to gilbert, lane, guthrie is an insult.
@@_azu7You're really envious of his playing, It shows.
This is my ringtone and i like this so much that when the phone rings, i don't answer it cause I'd want to hear it and i miss many calls due to it. worth it!
Where did you get this as a ringtone. I need it. Like,to live.
@@skylarmccloud4080 use any YT video downloader and convert to an audio to use as an Ringtone. Not sure, if this piece is on iTunes
I hope it doesn't ring when people are nearby
@@jellyrollmorton2051 why tf do you hope so

I didn't know Tim untill i saw the shred collab and i gotta say well it was fun to watch all of the shredders there and there was Tim, he was the ONLY ONE who gave me goosebumps and i don't get often goosebumps lately because of music because there isn't a good enough music these days so thank you and i hope you will eventually make a song out of this piece of heaven
I’m back to listen to this again for the millionth time and it gets better every time. How can someone play so technically proficient, almost bordering on robotic, but with so much feel that it’s near superhuman?
How do you even make this in your head???? That sense of music is out of the world
Crazy man. Just insanely creative
You can hear how diverse his mind is through this song. An i like it.
He writes a lot of his stuff based on rap and hip hop which I find insanely interesting to hear how it translates with classical training.
This needs to be a full song chief. It's incredibly good.
I NEED a new album Tim pls. This style is unmatched
Biggest shred collab was my first introduction to polyphia and it has been the most life changing video I have ever seen. This remains one of my absolute favorite riffs.
Tim's part was, in my opinion, far and away the best one. I can't stop re-listening to it. The fact that his part stands out so much in a vid with so many amazing musicians is a testament to not only his talent but how original his style is. Saw Polyphia in Montreal last month, what a great show!
Let's be honest, it's not your first time here
And I bet it's not going to be the last :^ )
Yeah
It's my first time here and also definitely my last time. Not saying I dislike this, rather that I do like this, but I don't see myself re-watching a video like this again,
@@Gold0rion Pretentious opinion that nobody asked for
@@Gold0rion Your comment is a waste of youtube server data.
@@Gold0rion nice essay bro but it was just a comment, don't take it to hard
This is just so unique, creative and beautiful.
Almost a year that I watch it every night.
This is my bedtime story.
You kinda sound like polyphia
actually he is ? ?? is it suppose to be sarcastic or something?
@@authoraven dude this is an obvious joke)
Oh sorry I didn't know Tim Henson is a Polyphia member😂
Crimson Virtuoso oh you legit didn’t know lmao
@@astromiles no that reply was sarcastic as well... i think? how detect sarcasm on internet i am not know
Someone please make a 12 hour loop of this. This touched my soul so deeply. Thank you for making this.
The type of guitar playing is the vibe we never knew we needed
This particular part from this particular shred is the most bespoke shredding that still completely melts faces... Like my face was melted, but at a nice soulful black tie event. This track was how I discovered polyphia and completely altered my understanding of how a guitar could be used to make music...
In a world.... Where guitar virtuosos surface every 5 seconds... A dude with a penchant for musicality leveled the playing field with some gorgeously melodic trip-hop shredzy-malone phrasing... Music would never be the same...
Ugh, so freaking tasteful. This is the difference between a great guitarist and a brilliant guitarist, he shows virtuosity while rremaining super tasteful, most of the other shredders can’t do it. Generational talent, I wonder where his journey will go
Not tasteful in the least
@@jellyrollmorton2051 Time for you and AfterEight to share your conceptions of "tasteful".
I wonder which will have the RIGHT definition;)
@@WeTubule this is one of many examples of "tasteful" I can give. th-cam.com/video/ggJCrl9oEgQ/w-d-xo.html
@@jellyrollmorton2051 Great to hear. Composition and arraignment aside I hear a few remarkable things about his performance. But i don't know what in particular you mean by "tasteful".
@@WeTubule tasteful means he knows he's great. He's not trying to shred people's faces off to prove it, just playing the music he loves.
I listened to that collab cause I like Davie but this kid stood out above everybody to me. I think I’m a new fan.
Calvin Crisp actually that kid Tim is one year older than Davie 😂😂😂
Bro. Exactly what happened to me lol. Didn’t even think twice about listening to it until I saw Davie on the thumbnail so I checked it out
AAn BBe that’s my bad. I wrote that comment and posted it as soon as I heard it. I didn’t do my research. You have to admit he looks pretty young. Anyway, I really like how he plays the guitar. Haha.
This is really the best piece of music I’ve heard in m whole life.
When my Guitar teacher showed this to me 3-4 Years ago i instantly knew, this guy is the #1.
There is no one like him. He is the Jimmy Hendrix of our time
There has been music like his since at least 1993. Just listen to the song Textures by Cynic
Yo opino lo mismo.
@@stipeplazonic8108 Just to be fair, I looked that up. I see what you mean in terms of the melodic style mixed with metal... Though I can't agree that they're on the same level as Polyphia. The way Tim weaves his melodies across the guitar neck is more technical and virtuousic than both guys from that other band combined... Even trying to put aside any bias because I genuinely liked the song quite a bit! I just don't think you can say the guy in that band is at Hendrix's level of innovation, Tim kind of is.
I sold my electric guitar last year, now I'm here with my acoustic. Managed to learn G.O.A.T, The Worst and Goose Riff. But this is a fucking monster.
I'm gonna get this, no matter how long it takes
post a video when you do, that would be sick
@@MaydupNem I did post a short of the first half, took me ages to get that sweep picking part :P cheers!
You have a lotta time to waste bro 😂
Best solo in the whole collab
Digo lo mismo, tbn kiko L
Exactly.
Well, if you’re talking about actual technical soloing... NOBODY shredded as excellently as Stephen Taranto. Not even Jason Richardson. Stephen has an unmatched flow of ideas where every note is seamlessly connected back-to-back. Easily the best technique and most imaginative technical passages. I did like Tim’s solo, though.
This was a collab which featured a lot of variety that was exciting to witness, but if the standard is the usual technical display of prowess, then Stephen is undeniably the winner. For me, the proof is not only in Stephen’s superior tone to similar shredders like Richardson. It’s how difficult it is to seamlessly connect various areas of the neck and play passages that keep the listener guessing. He demonstrated the best technique and creativity within the shred paradigm.
@@SurfingSerpent Calm down, dude. Aren't you tired of copying and pasting the same reply on every comment you don't agree with?
Shoulda had tim start then the do then jared
Anyone else can't stop playing it back ?
Me
ur not alone bro
Yessssssssz
Dude I’ve been playing it back for the past 4 weeks hah
I CAAAANNNTTTTT...!!! 🤣🤣
I can’t stop listening. It’s the third day in a row.
Fourth...
Well... I’m not even counting anymore. I’ve accepted I’ll watch this until I hate it and it won’t happen.
@@dm5802 I felt this way for so many songs by polyphia, but now I've listened to much and I've gained a tolerance. I need something stronger to get that eargasmic feeling again.
@@NahImBats lmao yeah i go through favorite songs sooo fast because i loop them like 24/7. Now I stop myself from overplaying them but this one's so goooood i can't stop myself
Just to make sure you are still listening
0:33 onwards invokes strong nostalgia I cannot explain it
it's because it also plays in the background starting from 0:17
Your style is truly your own. A signature TH sound. Seriously the best out there!
Tim this was the best solo of all the 2019 shred collab. Your playing is simply amazing! I did not know of you prior to the collab. You have a new fan! And so does Polyphia!
this is where I discovered Tim, out of the whole collab it was apparent this was the best part, i had to see more. Man was I not ready. Greatest guitarist of our generation. My ears are blessed to live in the era of Tim. i'm not even a guitarist but i could listen to this man all day. Doesn't take much to see and hear his talent. sorry if this sounds too fanboy-ish but i love this man.
This is so beautiful. I'm at loss for words. And he hands down destroyed everyone in that shred collab no doubt in that
That changed the entire mood of the collab and I love you for it
This is what happens when Jimi Hendrix and a robot have a baby, taught it some classical riffs, forced it to listen to Funk for a month, then fed it some LSD and turned on a video recorder.
Back when this was release in the shred collab, I was about to sell my old guitar and just give up cause I grew bored of blues and classic shred. Then I heard this. Since then, I bought a new guitar and learned so much. So thank you. I hope the new album does the same to many more people
First time seeing Tim Henson, found through Jared Dines collab. Absolutely fantastic guitar work and clean techniques - love the sweeping combined with the alternate finger picking. Really enjoyed the blend of scale sweeping, alternate picking, and the beat change - gave it a classical/metal/hip-hop vibe. Talented guy right here, looking forward to seeing more of your work
you should check his band, Polyphia. Their EP "The Most Hated" and their latest album is "New Levels New Devils"
F*ck, i have hears this over 30 times and I still get the same freaking chills... it's ridiculously good
This was indeed the "Whoa, hold up now" moment in the collab... Got me right in the feels. Excellent work!
seriously one of the most creative artists alive right now. there is nothing quite like tim's playing
We need a longer version of this.
Specifically one that just repeats for 6 hours
damn, you really remind me of a guy named Tim henson.
damn, yeah, they have so much incommon
Yeah bro this guy and Tim Henson should collab some time
@@crowwithinternetservice yoo true
surely the most unique guitar part I've heard in a long while
this was my introduction to you and polyphia. Still gives me chills
I cant get enough of this solo, currently learning it and jesus it's harder than it looks and I'm not even at the sweeping tapping part
Completely agree. It's harder than it looks, and I have learned just like 7 seconds at a very slow speed.
Everything he plays is 100% juicy lick with taste if it makes sense
Makes complete sense
*Sexy*
Kudos to the guitarists in that vid, but a lot of it was sort of generic shred. Hadn't even heard of Polyphia but when this solo came up it really caught my attention and I had to look it up.
Jordan Pool generic maybe if you’re Tosin Abasi but cleaner and more original than most guitarists in metal or blues
I was the exact same way. Came across them in September and goat ended up being my most played song on spotify last year
Same, I watched that video for Ichika Nito and left wanting to know more about Tim Henson and just fell into the huge rabbit hole that is Polyphia.
This song/riff has inspired in so many ways. I’ve been playing for 15 years and the technically of Tim’s playing is honestly hard for me to comprehend. A true modern guitar hero
Wow bro, I love your solo, everyone was playing as fast as they can and using tapping most of the time, and suddenly u appeared with that beat and a great flow in the guitar
the best music i have heard on a guitar ....its been ages that i havent heard in ages
There's not much more humbling than thinking you know even one god damn thing about playing guitar and then seeing this
Still one of the most epic Tim Henson moments after all these years. Pulling this gem on a shred collaboration is what sets him apart from other ultra technical players, this guy is a real artist.
WE REALLY WANT A FULL SONG FROM THIS MASTERPICE. You are a legend man🔥❤️
when god says u have 50 seconds to live
We needed you in 2022...
this video unironically changed my life
Same
Please make a full song of this
You've inspired me to use more hybrid picking and evolve my playing. I've been stagnant for a while and I appreciate the motivation my guy. Happy holidays
0:04 you don't know how many times I rewatched this
pls help me i cant stop my self from tapping the replay button
Me too. I've been listening to this for 2 hrs now
and it always plays in my mind 😂
can u make this one a longer version so i dont have to clicked the repeat button every 49 sec.
Right click on the video and click "Loop"
Or make a playlist with just this In and put repeat on the playlist if you're using a phone
Frfr
He's abso-fucking-lutely great, but many people don't realize that the backtrack of the riff plays a massive impacts for the riff to be this cool. But eventually to be able to compose something like that is so out of this world
Adding the polyphia touch to the shred Collab... Awesome! Simply awesome!
Can’t stop watching this. It’s been on repeat for almost an hour now... quite possibly the most interesting piece of music I’ve ever heard. Otherworldly to say the least
so much better than all the other shredders doing the same thing and just making nonsense noise, this is beautiful
