i was gonna practice today but now it feels like i already did. Thanks Tim!

lowkey insanely insightful, super helpful to see where you put your fretting hand's thumb while youre playing, you should make more of these

For a beginner like me, seeing someone as Tim playing this close, I can see so many things to learn like finger positioning, how he holds the pick and moves , where he rests his hand...No need to say that performance was on top as always. Thank you for this Tim

I wanted to cry when you guys played Culture Shock live! Glad you're bringing out some of the classics!

this how guitar videos should be recorded.. absolutely amazing as always Tim, KILLER!!

Awesome point of view. Always feels good to hear you play Mr Henson! Greetings from Montreal!

More than anything else, I appreciate how this shows that skill is the result of lots of practice.

Seeing those from a pov makes me appreciate his technique and the cleanness of his playing even more. Damn….

Saw you guys live this past saturday. You were amazing (as per usual). Hope you're all getting enough rest on the tour!

lovely playing dude, that's generous to show us that angle to study your technique a bit. thanks dude

THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MINNESOTA TIM!! The only thing about the show I was disappointed in was there wasn’t enough hype in the crowd! Every song got me bobbing my head and rocking out. I hope every show left on your tour is just as awesome. Go see these guys live if you can people!!!!

Thank you for sharing your art Mr. Henson. ❤

That 8 is sooo fucken sick; I hope somehow it becomes a production model or at least the pickups 🙏🏼 Can’t wait to meet you Thursday in NYC dude!!(Wish I could’ve gotten into the Q&A too but I prob have too many questions 😭😂) 🤘🏼

Man these hybrid finger picking and sweeps ,licks you name it, are fire, you give us a lot, somebody watch this and practice for 2 weeks and youll get it, don't understimate yourself. Tim is an exemple of devotion to his craft, how passionate are you reading this, your only limit is you. Peace Tim thanks a lot of all your amazing music with or without your band. 🙏

Nice! I really appreciate this, love the POV…thank you for sharing.🙏

Man this POV really shows off how masterclass that right hand is

Really cool to see how you navigate the fretboard. Definitely helping me see new phrases and licks to try! Also going from the nylon string to the 8 string so seamlessly was incredible to watch! ❤️🔥🙏

7:03 that one was my favourite out of the whole video, but damn, i havent watched you play in a hot minute. Insanely good as always

Thank you for this Tim! I will be sure to mix some of these exercises into my routine 😄

Seeing that there’s minor deviance from the metronome from time to time reminds me that you’re human and is encouraging, actually. Thanks for keeping it real dude.

Tim’s muting technique with his left hand is interesting. He seems to extend his middle and ring finger way past the low E/off the fretboard to mute the strings. Especially during the So Strange play through…no wonder his playing is so clean. Right hand technique is really precise and optimal like classical guitar players. Thanks, Tim for this video. I learned a few things.

Awesome! Way to do it! And by the way, as a guitar player myself I can confrim that this POV is the greatest way to immerse other beginners into fretboard awareness. Amazing note choise, technique and overall playability.

Tim , I have to say man , I think you and the band , are stellar. Whats more amazing is this sorta style is your wheelhouse , and the complexity of the arrangements just are so unique. You sort of play a guitar with a finger style that is almost identical to a slap and pop bassist , and it makes the notes when in unison with the bass , its like an extra enhancement to an already almost unbelievable arrangement. Its has a similar play style to what I know as banjo but with some strong popping and thumping. Very unique sound. Its inspiring to see your creativity. Obviously this is banjo on cocaine however , the range you have on a 8 string , and even the six string is so overwhelmingly unique. Love it man , keep those vibes coming. You got some serious chops. Your bassist and drummer have the same amount of skill , both of them are on fire. I bet even Steve Vai watches what you three have done and is like , wow lol.

Dropping harmonics like EVH but at stellar accuracy and speed without missing anything. The alternate picking /sweep picking , thats something , expected. The way its incorporated between the harmonics and the accuracy of all notes , is not.
