And hearing, "Playing God" for the first time literally made me listen to all of their published music over the course of a day and a half. I've been humming, singing in my head, etc. Shit is fucking gas, thanks Tim, Scott, Clay and Clay. You guys slap harder than a vengeful ex lover.

What really hooked me on this track is the way the riffs almost come across with the cadence of vocals. I can imagine lyrics to the pitch and pace of the guitar work so easily.

I know that this is out of left field, but just keep this in the back of your mind since I know there are going to be people that say that Tim's guitar playing abilities are so intimidating that it makes you want to stop, or what have you. Guitarists of varying experience levels, Tim more than likely did several takes to get this absolutely perfect. Tim here is absolutely an amazing guitarist, without a doubt. I will not deny that he has prowess... But! Please don't put yourselves down because you saw his best take. We need to remember that no guitarist gets everything right the first time. It takes a pretty decent amount of time to be able to get the right take. Whether it be you, me, Tim, Guthrie Govan, or whomever. No one is perfect the first time. You'll get there, just keep practicing and playing and having fun. This isn't a competition. Music isn't a competition. You're awesome. Just keep playing.

Playing God aside, this song is actually pretty cool acoustic. This makes me think that a separate acoustic EP or maybe a deluxe edition album with acoustic versions of the songs would be really cool to have. Plus, I really want to see how Scottie would re-do his solo in this song for an acoustic studio version.

The panning of the bass at around 0:56, was a really nice touch. I like that.

Definitely trying to see them live with her as a surprise present next time they come by nj/ny

This guy is gonna be the hardest stuff for decades. This bring back the days whenever guitar wanted to learn dave matthews. Love it bro!!

Amazing playing as usual. It is a joy to watch and listen to Tim's compositions. His precision and skill is off the charts. His playing also has a lot of expression. Outstanding performance.

I like how at 0:49 he plays the solo with higher notes but then transitions farther up the neck to get a deeper and different sound, it sounds amazing. That’s what’s sick about this song is that Tim and Scott at times play the same thing but at different parts of the neck which makes learning this fun. Legends. Also…thanks for putting both parts side by side on the TAB…amazing

Wow, just wow. Hearing the timbres you coax out of an acoustic is impressive. Your harmonic composition and technique are so dynamic it almost sounds like you're changing instruments. Really really nice.

loooove the sounds :) hearing the unplugged versions is awesome

I love the sound of his guitar. I mean I’m sure it wouldn’t sound like that if I was playing it but it compliments his style very well.

Those unplugged playthroughs are the best kinds of flex.

I’ve been waiting to see that guitar again and this beautiful piece of a person😭

Lovin’ the melodies! They remind me at times of runs that would fit in RnB tunes. Big fan. Mad skills 🙏🏽

Unrelated, that room is aesthetic af 😭🖤🖤

Im a piano player and prefer in general this instrument more, but the diversity and creativity you are able to express with the guitar brings me to want to learn it. just impressive how ease you make it look. Incredible precision.

Holy moly this is on another universe level, I been playing over 30 years and when I watch Tim play I just put my guitar down and listen, he’s unbelievable!!!

This is probably my 10th time listening since release. Just the vibes. Guitar work is so fresh

Tim bro you’ve had a mad rockstar glow up lately good job man

One of very favorite parts of this awesome song is in the "outro",(at 2:32) if that's even the term. If you listen to the album version of this song, it is easy to initially miss how all those light, glittery notes supporting those last few measures are anything but an afterthought. The melody in these last few measures (?) is actually quite simple, but when you see him playing it here acoustically, you can begin to appreciate EVERYTHING (!) else he is doing aside from just strumming the melody!! It's unprecedented. (Please forgive my semi-ignorance of correct musical terms - but you get the idea)

I'm back! Lol. And drunk too!! I just wanted to thank Tim for taking the time to make this video. I watch this one most frequently and I love the way the song sounds and feels with that guitar. It's just a great feeling. Cheers! 🍺

With all the effects and hype stripped back it becomes even more amazing

He did NOT look happy after that lol

I never get tired watching this

I love the pick drop at the end. Bravo Tim. Bravo.

tims picking hand is what really amazes me in all these videos. zero tension and such smooth optimized motions

It sounds amazing unplugged, my brain cant process those fast complex riffs lmao

I hope you know just how amazing you are. I imagine when you’re at the top it’s hard to realize it. You’re perfect. You’re an inspiration to so many. Thank you.

You're so talented bro, you're the Goat in my opinion man, tons of respect

The lyrics on this one really stand out as he in a glitchingly beautiful manner sings through that guitar. Feels like an ear massage.

I don't even play guitar no more... How much colorful can you be in a single song!!!!!! What a tube!!!!!!!🤯

Love the new stuff Tim🔥🔥🔥❤️‍🔥

Amazing , I really love the unplugged version and also like the way he ends it by putting down the pick and staring at the pc
