Love to see an older gentleman playing a more modern take on a guitar; rather than knocking it he tries it out and adds his own little spin at the end. Bravo sir, much respect and great job.
Modern? most of Tim's playing style is pretty much just how people play classical music is not new. What Tim does, lot of classical guitarists could before him.
@@AlexandrBorschchev The TOD10n which has a low action, shorter nut and has a thinner fretboard. I have a nylon electric which is kind of similar and it’s much easier to play on that than classical. Ibanez even compared it to a classical guitar in their description.
Professional quality classical guitars like this ring like a bell. The top is much thinner than a steel string acoustic so it doesn't take as much force to make sound. Harmonics are much stronger on classical than steel string in my experience.
I am in a state of shock. I didn't recognise you at first but you were actually my guitar teacher in high school! Edit: answering some common questions in the replies. Venue: Local high school, Scotland, every Saturday 2010?-2013 (he wasn't my first teacher) Songs I learned: Classical gas, take 5, peppermint rag, vivaldi concerto for guitar, under the bridge to name a few. Fun fact: When he taught me how to play harmonics, he'd play them with his nose to demonstrate how delicately you had to press on the frets.
@@isaakrhynes976 It is up to you to be good. THERE IS UNLIMITED videos and information about guitar and guitar playing. I mean you can UA-cam and cover and learn it. Also get tabs.

This guy definitely teaches guitar, you can tell by the sweater, and the sick guitar skills! I've been playing a ton of classical guitar lately and I definitely learned a thing or two about playing my nylon from watching you, excellent stuff, thank you!
@@aaizner847 What is your problem? I guarantee you, you are no where near as good as this man at playing, and even if you were, why are you hating on people who enjoy his music?
@@aaizner847 would u mind not responding supportive comments with ur disrespectful negativity towards this man and his craft? If what you are going to say is not going to make anything better, then just shut up. And upload a cover to prove ur opinion is valid, have a good day sir :)
It's always a sign of respect and humbleness when an older person plays music made by younger people without being condescending about it. You are awesome, my dude, keep it up!
... Or he didn't. Looked quite effortless to me lol. Some classical pieces are harder than this so perhaps this wasn't as difficult as you'd imagine ;]
Not even close to perfect.

If you see a baby in a tree, do you have to be a parent to know that someone fucked up? No? Then save your breath. You're not making some grand point; you just sound like you lack fundamental rational faculties. Btw, I do have original music on youtube on my music channel, but obviously none of you are going to hear it, because the last thing I need is a bunch of tween shitposting on those videos, not because they don't like them, but because they think they're making some sort of a point. Toodles :)
@@tunickam Not sure which video you were watching. He's struggling, and lagging behind on a couple of parts, so perhaps it's harder than you'd imagine. Which classical pieces are harder than this?
Damn man! That was insane! I thought I was done with hearing people play covers of this but this was so accurate to the real thing and how Tim Henson plays, this is now my favourite cover I've seen.
This played by a classically trained hand feels somehow the only appropiate way to play this on a classical guitar. Loved the little Villa-Lobos run at the and haha
It’s really interesting to see how Polyphia is making instrumental music more popular! This video is doing very well on views compared to the other videos on his channel.
ive seen alot of older guitarists demonize tim and say he has no feel and isnt good seeing an older gentleman with a classical background cover his song makes me happy
I started guitar In my 20s. Didn’t become a serious student of it until about 31. Im now 35. This shows me despite my late start, guitar is something I can continue to enjoy for years to come. The goal is to be able to do that.
The fact that he played on an actual classical guitar, rather than the low-action nylon string guitar that Ibanez made specifically to make it play more easily like a regular electric guitar
My friend gets taught by this guy to this day, Ive seen him many times (I get lessons right next to Mr Hallam for viola every saturday). Had no idea he was so popular on UA-cam!
I can see through the development of different types of guitar perform skills and technics from it, this sound of acoustic guitar is beautiful, great play!

Henson stands on the shoulders of guys like this

This was really good, earned a subscriber
When I first heard this song, my first thought was that it would sound really good as a classical guitar piece, and it DOES!
That was insanely impressive. Those notes sounded so clean.
This really shows years of skill! Hoping for a full cover, if possible!
Clearly a classical guitarist! This is your forte
Seeing him shake his head and just be so happy to play it is so wholesome:)
Dude just needed 38 seconds to earn every guitarist's respect
Let’s all remind ourselves that there is also no compression being used to help lift the softer notes to the same level. Sheer talent!
This played by a classically trained hand feels somehow the only appropiate way to play this on a classical guitar. Loved the little Villa-Lobos run at the and haha
On acoustic as well, hiding absolutely nothing in distortion plus the amazing finger style. Absolutely amazing!
One of the best covers I've seen. So clean and precise. Awesome lick at the end too
One of the best covers I’ve seen on UA-cam.
Smooth and no fancy audio production needed. Beautiful
This was truly amazing! What a great cover!!
Sir much respect for you, it gave me goosebumps literally :)
We all are waiting for the full cover.
Please do it
God there are so many changes in position on this intro. Shit is crazy hard, this guy made it look smooth. Very nice job, articulated every note.
This is probably the cleanest cover out there!
Tim Henson vs Your average classical guitarist a battle of the century
The shred in this man has waited his whole life for something like polyphia. Love it
Man you nailed it! That was clean af
"I ain't moved my fingers that fast since mine and your grandmas honeymoon." He says, taking a sip of his coffee and smiling smugly at his grandkids.
GREAT INFLUENCE IN OUR BAND
Impressive playing that on an actual classical guitar, with the usually wider nut and higher action
who let grandpa cook 🔥🔥
This tune sounds even better in a real classic guitar! Awesome!

Dude i think your intonation and delivery were both perfect! That sounded better in my ears than the studio version.
That’s probably the best classical guitar cover I heard of this song
Huge respect.
You know this song is good when the older musicians are whipping out the classical and sheet for the intro
From one classically-trained guitarist to another (if you weren't, then that's insane), BRAVISSIMO!!!
absolutely incredible
please do more songs!!!!!!

Legendary! It always make me so happy seeing anyone over 30 (like me) playing and listening to newer music.

glad to see Tim's still got it
I came across this again, months later, and unliked so that I could like it again. Wonderful job.
