Theres a point in guitar where you reach the technical ceiling and just have to keep exploring and being creative. You will then realize that there was no ceiling at all to begin with, it's a dark room never been visited before and that's why this band is so good. A mesh from metal, rock, trap, pop, hiphop influences. If this genre was known 50 years ago, it wouldn't be as interesting today. But the band gave birth to a new level of originality and creativity. Kudos to Tim, Scott, Clay, and Clay!

Everyone's sense of music is built upon the foundations of what they've heard before, and then they may or may not choose to iterate upon that with their own sound, and they certainly have a signature style, a sound that is distinctly them. It's fine if it's not to your taste, but calling it "unfortunate" or basic is rather disingenuous.

I’m an amateur guitarist and half the time I still mute on the most basic chord transitions. It’s always seriously impressive to see how versatile a guitar can be between virtuosos.

If I could play like this I’d literally never stop. I keep imagining the things I could accomplish musically with Tim’s skill set under my fingers. But good god what a mountain to climb. I love the guitar so much.

I mean technique + catchy + beautiful, memorable guitar lines. I think before the end of his career, he’s easily going to be one of the most insane guitar players to ever live, and will be put in compilations of the best guitarists ever, up with people like Vai and Satch and the like.

I remember someone mentioned in a playthrough video of Tim that the song he was playing was inspired by paco de lucia, and I discovered flamenco. I can now play the melody of malaguena on my ukulele albeit it is now clean, I can play it that you recognize it is that.
