Herman's playing over Euphoria was actually so tasteful, that use of the whammy bar, sliding into harmonious chord tones, playing sweet notes under Tim's solos, and of course his own killer licks in there too, awesome vibe, very euphoric dudes.

Man oh man, Tim is so sick....the pop influenced riffs and the execution are incredible

[@MastinoNapoletano420]

I love Tim. He really embodies the Slowhand Clapton style of guitar playing and adapted it well to the metal arpeggio runs. His right-hand does a lot of work and the way it glides over the strings during the runs is poetry in motion.

[@delbomb3131]

His left hand looks like a glitch a lot of the time. The way it goes from still, to fast movement, to hard stop at a precise position is weird in a cool way

[@mngyuan]

how are clapton and tim similar? genuinely curious i would’ve never put them together, and i know clapton was called slowhand for his speed but i really never thought of him for his speed

[@draetonalimoffatt8780]

@@mngyuan I don't think he meant speed. I think he meant fluidity and articulation whilst doing what he does. Eric is well known for being precise and looking effortless. But I do agree, very strange to put these two together. Tim has stated he went through a dad rock phase and learned all the great solos and songs so it's possible at one point he was playing slow hand tunes.
