I think the most interesting part of this for me was getting to see Tim's thumb placement. Something we so rarely get to see on any guitar videos, but is so important.

I'm an old assed guy who loves metalcore and thrash, but nothing makes me happier than having a band like Polyphia to excite me to here something new, fresh, outside the box, and simply entertaining to listen to as a guitarist.

Tim Henson nails it with classical guitar. His finger skills are spot-on. The musical piece has a ton of details; it's really fascinating, like a work of art. I'm tackling it step by step. It's a fun process but also a pretty intense training journey.

2:42 is the coldest riff Tim has written IMO

02:43 is where the madness really begins. watching the usual angle it looks hard, but looking from this angle it looks near impossible at that speed, my fingers were already feeling like spaghetti knotts

This really helps me in learning the song perfecting the syncopation on the faster bits. Almost there! Those last few runs are insane with the hammer ons and pull offs are insane. Your playing is so clean, props to you man, such an inspiration

Tim is really leading the way with guitarists being accessible to fans in a way I've never seen before.

Yeah hybrid picking is a massive part of his technique. It's actually not too difficult to learn but it's crazy useful for people who prefer to use picks.

the speed is crazy, awesome insight into what its like to play this as you :)

That’s pretty cool. When learning a song by watching we have to translate the horizontal positions when looking at the fret board of the player. In this case we get an aerial view, how we naturally see out hands when playing. More intuitive It would be cool if more guitar vids/tutorials did this. Learning the bossa nova section currently, and will see if this makes a difference in terms of learning more efficiently.

I'm mainly a metal guitarist, and not that good but love writing stuff and challenging myself. Sat down this morning and decided to buy the tabs from them and try learning the intro. This is so fucking hard. I can barely get the first 4 bars right at a slow pace. Thanks for this video Tim, it's super helpful to see your hybrid picking.
