Tim needs to start a metal school 🤘🏾
Isekai anime's main character taught u how to play guitar, be proud.
we love tim getting recognition he deserves <3
Fantastic infromative video. Tim is very well spoken, I appreciate how he broke down every term, I learned a lot
I didn't imagine myself sitting through a whole video about how to play different sounds on the guitar, but Tim Henson is very good at teaching, and he's also a very interesting person just to listen to. And I've heard a few of his songs and his guitar is amazing!
Even metalheads can't deny John Mayer is a genius.
Y’all should get Thomas Pridgen to do one of these for drums!
This is the first time I heard him talking 😅
Tim Henson? More like Tim Handsome
Lmao can i have your guitar please ?
Just joking i know i aint getting it 😅
I have been enjoying New Levels/New Devils the last few years and never would have guessed this is the cat playing on it.
wow my toan is improving ten fold
Whats the riff a 4:40 plezse?
BRO IS A PAPICHULO
He has that "Rodney Mullen" Vibe, if you know what i mean. Obviously very talented but humble enough to answer very basic questions without any attitude. Good stuff and thank you for your time and insights.
Literally a few million guitarists you could have chosen over this idiot
I am impressed…
Great explanation of Playing God, now I can go write something just as good! thanks tim
No matter how good you are at something there will always be an asian better than you.
If this guy is LGBT I'm done 😴😴
Did he just say that John Mayer’s neon doesn’t sound that difficult?? 😂😂😂
I wanna be Tim's frienss he seems so chill.
never expected him to have such a baby face omg
Asking Tim Henson why barre chords are hard is like asking Albert Einstein why A squared plus B squared equals C squared
We need drum support
He played the "boomer bend" I just started dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dude is just as intelligent as he seems.
Anyone know where he got his shirt? It’s so sick
Can't believe this the same dude who did the muppets
It would have helped if you turned off the distortion for the explainers
Didn't expect him to sound like Ben Shapiro
3:04 “wings for Marie” anyone?
Was he just gonna djent “Domination” by pantera for a second?
whats the name of the song he's playing at 4:40 ? i cant find it anywhere and its bugging me ^^
10:41
For a person who doesn't know how to play guitar or any instruments, this is really fun and interesting to watch. Thanks, Tim and WIRED!
i know nothing about guitar playing (even if i enjoy watching people play guitars) and as shallow as this sound, i only clicked because he's pretty and a guitarist but wow he truly blows me away with how amazing he is. i never heard polyphia or tim henson before, but this gets me to try and listen to them
good to see the boy getting recognition
i dont even play guitar i just watched this vid cuz he's so pretty wtf ?
There's no such thing as a good guitar tone, only good tone for a specific context. Even recordings of unplugged electric guitars can sound amazing in the right context.
I recommend Basic Music Theory should be learned if you want to understand basic terminology in music production.
Everyone acts like he is really good at guitar. If I had his skill and talent I could play just as well
Tim being the coolest most genuine god my dude
I was subscribed to Wired magazine, because it has great content on technology, science, business and society. However, their YouTube channel is just celebrities. Losers
Moar Tim please
