Love to see an older gentleman playing a more modern take on a guitar; rather than knocking it he tries it out and adds his own little spin at the end. Bravo sir, much respect and great job.
Modern? most of Tim's playing style is pretty much just how people play classical music is not new. What Tim does, lot of classical guitarists could before him.
This guy definitely teaches guitar, you can tell by the sweater, and the sick guitar skills! I've been playing a ton of classical guitar lately and I definitely learned a thing or two about playing my nylon from watching you, excellent stuff, thank you!
@@lx4302 The TOD10n which has a low action, shorter nut and has a thinner fretboard. I have a nylon electric which is kind of similar and it’s much easier to play on that than classical. Ibanez even compared it to a classical guitar in their description.
@@aaizner847 What is your problem? I guarantee you, you are no where near as good as this man at playing, and even if you were, why are you hating on people who enjoy his music?
@@aaizner847 would u mind not responding supportive comments with ur disrespectful negativity towards this man and his craft? If what you are going to say is not going to make anything better, then just shut up. And upload a cover to prove ur opinion is valid, have a good day sir :)
It's always a sign of respect and humbleness when an older person plays music made by younger people without being condescending about it. You are awesome, my dude, keep it up!
Professional quality classical guitars like this ring like a bell. The top is much thinner than a steel string acoustic so it doesn't take as much force to make sound. Harmonics are much stronger on classical than steel string in my experience.
... Or he didn't. Looked quite effortless to me lol. Some classical pieces are harder than this so perhaps this wasn't as difficult as you'd imagine ;]
Not even close to perfect. Edit: To all the fanboys demanding that I post my own cover, as if in order to negatively judge someone's performance, you have to be better than them at that thing: Please stfu; you sound so stupid. You know that movie you think sucked? Did you make a better one? You know that president you think is a moron? Have you run a 4 year presidential term, better? If you see a baby in a tree, do you have to be a parent to know that someone fucked up? No? Then save your breath. You're not making some grand point; you just sound like you lack fundamental rational faculties. Btw, I do have original music on youtube on my music channel, but obviously none of you are going to hear it, because the last thing I need is a bunch of tween shitposting on those videos, not because they don't like them, but because they think they're making some sort of a point. Toodles :)
@@tunickam Not sure which video you were watching. He's struggling, and lagging behind on a couple of parts, so perhaps it's harder than you'd imagine. Which classical pieces are harder than this?
Damn man! That was insane! I thought I was done with hearing people play covers of this but this was so accurate to the real thing and how Tim Henson plays, this is now my favourite cover I've seen.
This played by a classically trained hand feels somehow the only appropiate way to play this on a classical guitar. Loved the little Villa-Lobos run at the and haha
I can see through the development of different types of guitar perform skills and technics from it, this sound of acoustic guitar is beautiful, great play!
I started guitar In my 20s. Didn’t become a serious student of it until about 31. Im now 35. This shows me despite my late start, guitar is something I can continue to enjoy for years to come. The goal is to be able to do that.
It’s really interesting to see how Polyphia is making instrumental music more popular! This video is doing very well on views compared to the other videos on his channel.

Polyphia would have a hard time doing that. There's a reason they add all those effects that make the sound bad.

You know a guitar riff is intense to play when you pull those slight facial expressions when it gets fast. This is a great song.
This is probably the cleanest cover out there!
When I first heard this song, my first thought was that it would sound really good as a classical guitar piece, and it DOES!
Oh man you did amazing great job and I'm glad to finally see someone playing this that is actually an adult lol
Clearly a classical guitarist! This is your forte
The "tango en skai" bit at the end was actually nice. I'd love to hear a longer version of this mixture.
That was insanely impressive. Those notes sounded so clean.
I love seeing the old masters come out to show us all that there is no ceiling.
Outstanding sir!! So wonderful to see this group of musicians bridge the gap of generations and bring us all together under the love of one thing.
Huge respect.
I came across this again, months later, and unliked so that I could like it again. Wonderful job.
Damn man! That was insane! I thought I was done with hearing people play covers of this but this was so accurate to the real thing and how Tim Henson plays, this is now my favourite cover I've seen.
So good dude!! My favorite cover so far
i have watched this video a minimum of 20 times and I still cant get enough of it, its truly amazing.
Dude just needed 38 seconds to earn every guitarist's respect
This really shows years of skill! Hoping for a full cover, if possible!
On acoustic as well, hiding absolutely nothing in distortion plus the amazing finger style. Absolutely amazing!
Sir much respect for you, it gave me goosebumps literally :)
We all are waiting for the full cover.
Please do it
Polyphia classic guitar is not something I was expecting to ever exist...Well done.
This was really good, earned a subscriber
Seeing him shake his head and just be so happy to play it is so wholesome:)
Smooth and no fancy audio production needed. Beautiful
God there are so many changes in position on this intro. Shit is crazy hard, this guy made it look smooth. Very nice job, articulated every note.
This tune sounds even better in a real classic guitar! Awesome!
on*
couldn't help but laugh at how incredibly good this is
Legendary! It always make me so happy seeing anyone over 30 (like me) playing and listening to newer music.
The way he puts his guitar away is like he's sheathing his sword. Killed it!

Incredible! Amazing!
I love seeing older people taking part in newer music, reminds me that not everyone is so close minded to exploring new music
OLD IS GOLD.....That was indeed very well played in this acoustic guitar.
Let’s all remind ourselves that there is also no compression being used to help lift the softer notes to the same level. Sheer talent!
Ur exceptionally brilliant! Lv the end flourish

No imaginé que sonaría tan bien en la guitarra clásica, enhorabuena!
Que no es lo mismo en la canción original?
Straight fire🔥
Just a classical guitarist showing us mere mortals how a guitar was meant to be played using a little tune he just heard on the radio.
He’s clearly classically trained! Honestly this piece probably is a breeze for him compared to the complex classical guitar parts he’s used to playing
legend!
