Here's a break down on Tim Henson's picking technique!

I hope you find it helpful!
He uses the bridge as a brace as well. But honestly in the end he's just better than all of us.
Very good video man! Thank you
One thing you forgot to mention. As an avid Tim Henson fan and a previous member of his channel he states a lot in his tutorials for the speedy runs in his playing God tutorial. He utilizes hammer ons from nowhere with the left hand instead of the awkward string skipping and hand positioning you speak of.
I think Tosin Abasi does that too, he calls it something, but the name escapes me right now.

This video is so well made dude
Thanks Dante, I really appreciate that.
extremely helpful, thank you sir
thank you!
Fun fact - that riff Tim is playing was written by Wes Hauch
I thought that was just the animal crossing section
another argument that tim cant even write a simple riff
Great 👍👍
Thanks
One little thing regarding economy picking: I think learning relatively good alternate picking while moving between strings before approaching economy picking is important for rhythm. I'm self taught and immediately figured out matching my motion with the next string - going down with the pick so I have another downpicking motion when going to the string below(essentially economy picking) - was the most logical approach for economy of movement. However that lead to me actually playing said notes earlier than they should be in the rhythm of the lick since the economy of movement was faster than my economy picking technique. Not a big deal or anything one couldn't quickly correct with a metronome and practice, but it took me a while to figure out that that's the reason I can't keep time properly in certain scenarios.

this is fate!!! im practicing playing god and cant get the fast part after the intro down😂
🤣 good luck!
Kinda funny you missed the thumb position. Those are pretty different and allow for more dexterity
THANKS I NEEDED THIS
The solo is the only part that I need to master, everything else is done 🎉
Great, I'm happy its helpful 😀 Good luck with learning the rest of it, let me know when you've done it. Would love to hear it.
Amazing breakdown of tims playing
Thanks, I appreciate it.
I feel vindicated after playing with my wrist and thumb like this and hearing how wrong i was from people who don't play as well as tim does.
Great to hear!
I Think Django Reinhardt does this so does alot of mandolinist
cool, thats interesting, I'll check that out.
It feels really weird to have tim soloed out for picking fast? Maybe I've missed some stuff he plays, but on the clips here, and on what I have seen, his mojo is on counter intuitive lines, use of open strings and harmonics, tapping... And a miriad of stylistic and technical choices. But not picking speed?
He may very well be able to pick fast, but he isn't in this video, and he usually doesn't. Why study him when wanting to pick fast?
This video would fly over James Hetfield's heas 😂
Guys, don’t get me wrong - Tim’s playing IS very difficult to match and it takes years to get to that level
But he really doesn’t pick that fast… anymore. As a teenager, he did. Crazy fast.
Now? Very difficult (because of a lot of techniques and odd positions used) but technically upper-middle speed.
Playing God doesn’t exceed 16th notes at 137bpm. Fast?? Not really…
Jason Richardsons’s Aviator solo is full of TRIPLET 16th notes at 150bpm. That’s speed picking.
By the way, as an ex economy picker, please don’t tell people that strict alternate picking is a ‘problem’ or prevents people from playing at certain speeds. Petrucci is a strict alt picker regardless of pattern - so is Anton Oparin.
Yes, economy picking makes more sense on paper, but in reality, it involves your wrist moving at inconsistent speeds.
His thumb is moving which also can slow you down….
Because he practiced, duh.
Because from mother womb he already have a guita😂
That's...fast?...
