      I dunno but I think Tim was classically trained in piano and probably translated that knowldge to guitar? I'm not 100% sure on this but he knows his theory VERY WELL so that part just comes natural. No way to do it without years of just practise and messing around learning stuff

      Yeah, these videos are definitely awesome. Not only do they pique the interests of those who just like their music (but hadn't really cared much for the production and composition side of things), but also the people who produce songs themselves who'd really like an ounce of directly inspiration from someone who makes music they really really enjoy. A lot of moments where as a producer or as a composer, you'd go "Huh, I should probably use that".

    A couple of months ago I started reading Berserk Manga and by that time I recently discovered Polyphia. So I picked the music of New Levels New Devils to be the soundtrack of my reading and now watching this video I see Henson in a Berserk theme hoddie. To my this music is deeply intertwined with Berserk and the history of the manga. F*ckin Love Polyphia

    • @TheNkrieg

      Hey Raul, Polyphia also covered a track named "Inferno" by Japan's 9MM Parabellum Bullet that was the intro song to the Berserk series rebirth in 2016. So there's that connection too. Check it at the link below if you haven't ever heard it.

    This kind of insight is so valuable; I'm learning as a musician, and so often I'm mystified by certain songs - G.O.A.T. definitely one of them - because I'm like... they legit just sat there with their guitar and came up with such an incredible piece of music from nothing? So seeing the building blocks to the finished product with such transparency is so helpful, as well as showing a direct example of influence from 4:07 on. This is the kind of music lesson a mind like mine really needed.

    A lot of this just makes sense.
    creating different melodies on an instrument playing over some of your favorite tunes allows you to just free form and come up with things you otherwise never would have thought of just by using a blank canvas/riff.
