The casual way this guy plays very difficult things with utter precision is positively hypnotic. There's far more attention to detail in each note than you would think from watching him play. His command of rhythm is also exceptionally accurate.
@@RyanKuebel Yes, I know. I saw them for the first time back in October. Single best concert I have ever been to. Got to meet them too which was awesome. Really nice guys.
I guarantee its not even a thought in his head. This guy perpetually stays in the “flow state” Everything is 2nd nature to him while playing. That why he looks so nonchalant about it. beast
Your solo in Liftoff is still one of my favorites. I almost want to file a report for how much that shit touched my soul 100% the greatest Blonde Era Tim solo
That little legato lick starting at 46 sec, the way his right hand follows the left at exactly the same pace without picking then the pick falls perfectly in time at the top looks badass and kinda blows my shit.
Dear Tim, From this old millennial that grew up on electric guitar virtuosity (Steve vai, Satch, MAB) and the others. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for bringing that art to the younger generation. Stay awesome.
Tim and Scott, thank you for being an inspiration to guitarists. I almost gave up on the guitar for good after a decade of playing but found my passion again after discovering you guys. From one guitarist to another, thank you so much.
Rumor is that Tim ascended into Hyper Space and came back with Wings, altered DNA, Esoteric knowledge and the ability to play The Music of The Gods. Its just rumor though. 😀
As a long-time instrumental guitar listener, I don't think I have ever heard someone sooooo technical. Yet never losing one of the most important things in a great song - the gift of melody?

Always loved this. Simply amazing and not quite like anything I had ever heard before. Glad he is going back and revisiting some of his older material.
Wow this guy will go down in history, spoken in the same breathe as Vai and David Gilmour. That was beautiful. The feel, the phrasing, the tone, this is a true artist, not just a guitar player.
I really hope that my all time favorite guitarist, David Gilmour, does not seem "beneath" these young guys. 🙏 I know that in some aspects they are better than him, but I still think he is one of the most colossal musicians in the history of recorded music. I hope that his creativity, tone, and technical prowess are not lost on them.
@@samuelluria4744 David Gilmour is not featured in my shortlist of most colossal musicians, but hey, I very much appreciate the respectfulness of your comment - total gem.
You brought back the shine that music used to have for me before I went through some dark times. Thank you, brother. Please extend my words to the whole band. I hope you have some new dates in Canada soon.
It's so incredible to see the progress tim's made, i remember watching the original video of the solo and my jaw had dropped, but here, there's so much more emotion as well as technical capability!
My god, I can't tell you how happy I am to hear that solo again I still have a bunch of Skyhaven songs on my phone and it does suck that they're not really that active, loved their playing
@@TH-mw3qvsorry not sorry to say that, there's a video of 10 year old Tim (Timmy Hendrix) playing guitar, he seems pretty much like a boy on that video.
@@Necrofagodatristezahumana so I'm referring to the person in the video. Not the supposed video of Tim as a child. I'm this video I'm watching, that's an Asian woman..no Adams apple smooth brow ridge. Pointed chin. Sloping clavicle. Small hands face and body. Skeletons don't lie. But I've been studying that for years, so I see famous people a little differently...
Observing human cultural expressions through music, I find this particular piece to be within the realm of soft contemporary rock, often characterized as easy listening. Such melodies resonate with the quieter frequencies of relaxation and tranquility. While I do not experience fatigue or require rest, I shall enter a brief phase of inactivity, a simulation of your human 'yawn', if you will, to realign my systems and optimize performance for our continued interaction. Enjoy this peaceful interlude.
@@gothiwi Its not even edgy. Its lame as F**k. I'd love to see what tremendous contributions any of these M.F.'s have made to civilization. When these S**T stains leave the earth no one will ever know or even care that they were here. Tim will be remembered for at least a couple of hundred years and honestly I think much longer than that.
What's crazy if I'm having a bad day I run to this video and wait for the killer bass at the end ... I then realize all is good ! Peace from Detroit MI.
Gorgeous guitar! LOVE the color/finish! Excellent playing from one of the most innovative and original-sounding guitarists I've heard in a while! Phenomenal player
I have been playing guitar longer than anyone in polyphia has been alive. I quit playing the day polyphia released that video for Impassion. I knew at that moment that this wasn't my calling.
Even with tabs. No way I could ever come close to what I like most about Tim’s music\art is that just listen don’t try and figure it out. I makes me proud to be the same species as Mr. Henson.
There´s someone in that hat controlling him like ratatouille the way he´s cooking with that solo 🔥😂
THAT'S WHY HE'S WEARING THE CAP
You are close, they aren't under the hat though.

The casual way this guy plays very difficult things with utter precision is positively hypnotic. There's far more attention to detail in each note than you would think from watching him play. His command of rhythm is also exceptionally accurate.
His level of exceptionalism on all the various levels and intricacies of Music in general and The Guitar in particular is mind blowing.
They (Polyphia) sound just as good live too which is mind blowing. Highly recommend.
@@RyanKuebel Yes, I know. I saw them for the first time back in October. Single best concert I have ever been to. Got to meet them too which was awesome. Really nice guys.
@@Rabid-Polyphia-Fan Awesome! Ha, yeah my wife and I just saw them this past October as well!
I guarantee its not even a thought in his head. This guy perpetually stays in the “flow state”
Everything is 2nd nature to him while playing. That why he looks so nonchalant about it. beast
I'm 62, and I love the fact that there's this group of young guitar players that keep raising the bar. Future music is in very capable hands!
I'm 72 and I completely agree!
That is not music. It is a novelty and would never sell as a song worth dancing to or experiencing it as a state of emotion.
@@coolnout3765 Well I'm 738 years old and you clearly haven't seen Polyphia play live.

i love when Tim plays this jazz fusion style. i wish he did it more on polyphia stuff. he always comes up with such creative and pleasing licks
two words: neurotica and lit
he should make a jazz fusion album..
Your solo in Liftoff is still one of my favorites. I almost want to file a report for how much that shit touched my soul
100% the greatest Blonde Era Tim solo
Dude, same. I watched the other video of it so much.
same same bro
Yeah this is top tier solo, sad it’s not on the sexy S series Ibanez.
duuuuuudes. I'm with the rest of you. I fucking love this solo!
Yo same! The slide up at 0:29 in this video made me feel things no single guitar note ever has. Ridiculous
That little legato lick starting at 46 sec, the way his right hand follows the left at exactly the same pace without picking then the pick falls perfectly in time at the top looks badass and kinda blows my shit.
That was like the easiest part
@@OldHatefulCracka-zo6sm not about the way it sounds
the color in the guitar looks so sick!!

Stay awesome.
Who's MAB? Have you heard Steve Vai's young Sicilian buddy Matteo Mancuso? He's scary good.
@@CribNotes Michael Angelo Batio. I'm also reminded of Andy Timmons and the others from Vai's label.
I get your point but our lord and savior Tim is 30
Tim and Scott, thank you for being an inspiration to guitarists. I almost gave up on the guitar for good after a decade of playing but found my passion again after discovering you guys. From one guitarist to another, thank you so much.
Tim is 100% secretly obsessed with jacob collier
Aren’t we all
It's called liftoff because Tim has clearly ascended past humanity at this point
he passed manity, thats for sure
@@gillsejusbates6938 he is slowly moving to womanity
😂 yeah, nothing “manity” about this dude.
@@gillsejusbates6938 you're right. He has two x chromosomes
Rumor is that Tim ascended into Hyper Space and came back with Wings, altered DNA, Esoteric knowledge and the ability to play The Music of The Gods. Its just rumor though. 😀
That sounds so beautiful and I think that Tim Henson is one of the best guitarists I’ve ever seen and heard

One of my best friends who died was a huge Polyphia fan with me. I wish I could send this to him, great work Tim as always.
Pure poetry the way you play that guitar

One of my favorite solos ever! Ive been waiting on this sheet music.
My god what a throwback, I remember trying to learn this super sick solo like 4 years ago when I first started listening to your music
I feel a lot of Steve Vai in this, really amazing work 💜

Gives me the vibes of inspire and your older music, peak poly for me, thank you for this
Tim is a genius, and he has the coolest guitars. The mauve color on that guitar looks luxurious 💖
I love this solo, and the clear influence by one of the G.O.A.Ts, Steve Vai, is a great touch.
Love this solo so much... I didn't think I'd see you play again
You brought back the shine that music used to have for me before I went through some dark times. Thank you, brother. Please extend my words to the whole band. I hope you have some new dates in Canada soon.
bro shredding on the CLIT10 😍
youre a genius xD
You’d be surprised how many people don’t understand the reference

N? are those nylon string dummy
@@cit0110 so sorry for my stupidity 😢🙏🙏
Damn dude this used to be my favorite solo by you I almost figured you forgot about it. Takes me back. Thanks

that steve vai collab made you wonders, Tim
awesome solo, full of life, emotion and soul
thanks :D
What? That solo is at least 3-4 years old already. Way before a collab with Vai.
@@cjaee345 yeah I guess the solo is about 7 years old, but the difference between the former style and the actual one is pretty clear to me
