i was about to comment this very same thing. im not normally someone who has patience. but fuck trying to just learn off the video of tim or ichika or marcin playing. that shit is too fast, too complex, and the augmentations and inversions are too foreign when your already jumping a damn octave every 5 bars or so. Alot of people dont talk about this. but his muscle memory is insane. he knows where every part of the fret board is without looking.

It genuinely disturbs me how effortless Tim makes this look. The amount of work this must take to perfect is wild to me.

Honestly Tim's comments on this video about how to properly fingerpick erased 4 years of bad habits of mine and immediately made me click and improve my technique. This guy is not just a skilled guitarist, he knows how to teach stuff. Then I threw my guitar away in frustration with cramps in my thumb trying to thump. I'm glad Nik is here to make me feel a bit better. Thanks Nik :D.

I know you meme it up for entertainment, but it's pretty encouraging to see someone as good as you also struggle with new techniques. Speaking of - if you need more video ideas: I for one would definitely have good use of a Nik Nocturnal series of videos about how to do those fun metal things that some of us never learned to do. Sweep and chug tutorials when?

I'm a total stranger to fingerpicking, idk if that's just standard practice, but it's funny how the letters that Tim uses for the fingers don't correspond to their English names, but actually fit their French names (and I'm assuming it works for other Latin languages too). Like P = pouce (thumb) and A = annulaire (ring finger).

I suppose they come from Spanish since classical guitar technique was mostly developed here, but I'm confused about the middle finger being an M. Yes, it can be called "dedo medio" I guess, but the normal terminology is "dedo corazón" (heart finger), so a C would make more sense

Dude, your videos are always amazing. Really love your channel! Keep it up

it’s VERY encouraging how even Tim Henson (for emphasis, TIN HENSON) says it’s very difficult

It's just reassuring to see even Nik do something that makes him feel like a new guitarist, makes me feel like even I can learn this shit lmao

Dude, thanks for taking us along that adventure to share in the knowledge. Respect. 👊

Finally, virgin mathematics rock

omg this is giving me flashbacks to learning the classical guitar. God Bless you Nick it's such a P-A-I-N!!!!!

Learnt that etude and practised that technique a couple days ago aswell and your suffering made me feel better. Thanks :)

The editing notes are making me laugh so hard. Great job making the learning of this fun.

dude you're the best haha. i love that you're not afraid to be humble and laugh at yourself. keep doing the great work!

Once you get used to it this technique is actually not too difficult (as used in this video). It feels great too. I’ve started using it to practice a sweep / finger picking combo that I see Manuel Gardner Fernandez using and it feels godly. Tim is such a boss for taking the time to give tutorials like this

this channel is absolute metal and guitar gold :p love Nik

Tim Henson x Nik always makes my day brighter

Im glad nik is back with the guitar content.

I've been working on learning this for a few days now, and it's like the 4th thumping video I've watched. Just getting used to the finesse that's necessary took me longer than I would like to admit. I'm just starting to get decent at it. Still nowhere near Tim, but his video was the most helpful in teaching me the technique. It really does take a LOT of practice to get it. I'm usually a quick study, but I've been learning this technique for like 2 weeks, and I'm just now starting to feel confident with it. It's so so fun, once you get the hang of it.

Nik learns how to use his PP

What a time to be the part of the guitar world \m/ love this campaign where Tim teaches different people.

This was hilarious!!!!! My man…keep pushing

Tim's tone is soo good...

Tim is a monster on the guitar, its crazy

Great video!! You’re amazing 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Hey Nik, of course I literally just found this video. I don't play guitar at all but to watch you suffer through that lesson was both funny but frustrating even for me! Tim definitely has a style all his own.

keep going, great video

One of the funniest videos I've watched by you nik

“I’ll get right on it Tim” made me die 🤣

We want weekly updates for this :)

Watching you struggle with someone else's lessons is me struggling with your lessons. Love the content.

I’m glad to see Nik be so clumpsy with it like i am with every freaking thing i learn on the guitar haha

Super nice to see you try this! As a classical guitarist I am way better at fingerpicking than at playing with a pick, and I can't stop myself from pointing out that you could try to pick more from the fingers and less from the hand as a whole. I see your hand make a little jump every time you pluck the i-m-a fingers, and you should aim for a steady hand that does not or barely move. This will make it easier to play with as little tension as possible, as well as more economical. so you can speed it up better. =) In the meantime, I will just struggle like hell to learn how to sweep, and get encouragement from your cover videos!

🤣 thank you for being real with the struggle of all Tim's techniques

2:55 exactly what i feel trying to do this shit

Seeing the guy who covers entire songs in less than a day struggling that much learning a new technic kinda relieves my soul Luv u Nik

When he said "just give me the tabs bro" so seriously and deadpan I felt that

It's like learning guitar for the first time. I have so little control over my thumb I feel like I'm Dj Khaled playing guitar.

The ripple effect of you laughing at PP which made me laugh at you laughing at PP, made me laugh more

The fact that he can do this at all and didn't give up immediately is impressive.

I'm grabbin my guitar and jumpin along for the ride

Mate, your videos just make me bloody laugh. Every time. 👏

see a teacher like nick suffer to try to do it. says how amazing Tim is.

Nik is goated for patience and emphasis ❤️

This is honestly inspiring me to learn how to play the guitar, maybe one day💔

6:50 hahahahaha the way Tim is looking at you is priceless.

Awesome content! Fingerstyle perspective: try keeping the RH pinky off the guitar. Also try preparing the ima fingers before you pluck so you don't have to think about it.

Nik, from personal experience, you'll never stop learning. You're an excellent guitarist/musician so never give up

5:44 a tip don’t reposition your hand while finger picking it’ll become harder to pick the correct string 😅

Thats where i recognize, playing guitar 3 years in music school was important. Learned from the bottom with aucustic on nylon.

Nick I believe by next video you can have this mastered

It actually makes me feel better to see Nik struggling to learn something makes me feel less like the utter fail I am 😂

This was entertaining, good post.

Broooo, nice you checked this percussive fingerstyle out..... its so different from normal playing, i can completely feel with you.

I needed this lmao

Drop OMEGALUL breakdowns lmaooo

Already resting the other fingers is a great tip to increase speed. Now i can practice those crazy ichika ghost notes

Every time Nick’s tryin to do something “WTAH THE FUK?”

Nik demonstrates the frustration every guitar player experiences to a tee 😂🤘🏼😎

Could replace with slap on the downstream and a slap release on the upstroke(similar technique) then pop with the index mid and ring for a mo funky approach.

Little tip for your thumb technique, your picking motion kind of moves away from the guitar as you downstroke, try keeping your thumb as absolutely relaxed as possible and bring it through the string with force from your wrist, this way when it lands on the next string it’s immediately in position for the upstroke

I picked up Tim from a Chicken Express back in the day. Very chill guy and open minded.
