    I like the switch to nylon strings. It’s a really cool sound. Tim cracks me up. A lot of guitarists add a lot of flare with their facial expressions and body especially when playing something complicated or even groovy. Tim is quite and let’s the music shine in the spot light and have its moment. You know when he is feeling it when you see his head and neck start moving. I know he is not showy because it’s all about the music but it’s nice seeing he is into it even if it’s just a little bit.
