[@Jack_Plisken]

I love this resurgence in guitar centric music but most importantly, HOW its coming back. You and many other are leading the way by going against what my generation was taught not to do... It hits back on your "Boomer bends" phrase that I heard you say on an interview with Rick Beato. When I first started playing in the 90's, I would 'attempt' to play a style similar to yours...High tempo with minimal breaks/rests. I was told by many older players: "You're doing too much" or "It sounds cool, but there is no soul to it... Try this *Insert Boomer Bends / hands me an SRV CD*". Although there is a point to letting notes simmer a bit (i.e. David Gilmour), there are many reasons why you do not have to (i.e. Tim Henson). I believe this 'Boomer Principal' was justified as those who were playing fast in the 80's and 90's, were primarily playing neo-classical, murdering the harmonic minors scales, while alienating themselves from the average listener. Your playing is really translated to the average listener via the rhythms and accompaniment of the band, incorporating modern beats/rhythm with your fast style of playing. Well done!

[@JimmyFeelsIt]

I feel like a few decades ago "playing for the song" mainly translated to not playing many notes but in my opinion Tim is playing to for the song on an incredible level but... yeah, he's definitely not playing few notes. The idea of an instrument being used wrong in a song when it's doing "a lot" is something I don't understand. Yes, taking a break can be very effective but, to my ear, Tim's playing gives me the feeling of there being breaks without him missing to fill a beat with incredible notes. In general, saying that one specific way is "correct" in music is... weird to me... We can clearly see that countless ways of making music lead to an enjoyable result but some just won't understand that feel matters in art and not necessarily theory or facts.

[@hazardeur]

who the hell gives a fuck what anybody says. if you want the note to be long, let it be just that. people these days overthink way too much and also follow all these stupid trends which is a big reason why so much stuff sounds the same. get your own rules, own presets, own style. everythig else is pointless anyway

Now We definitely need a guitar lesson on this song

[@foxxely372]

i love when tim makes loops cuz it saves me from hitting replay so much

[@priddycrankyyankeeamyniemi8957]

Too true and relatable. You should loop your stuff on piano too, it's always pretty to listen to.

[@MeAmSmack]

Love this and love that you looped it. Some of my favorite riffs (mine or covers) I’ll play for minutes and minutes. When it’s right, you just feel it. The acoustic works super well for this, but any chance you could hit us with an 8 minute electric version as well?

[@DenHenson]

Two things I’ve always wanted: 1. For this riff to last forever (shame it has such short time in The Worst) 2. An acoustic version. Big Yay

[@WoWLoLSC2Whatev]

can we possibly get a tutorial or an acoustic version of this tab? This looks so damn fun to just whip out and play and with enough practice it could be super sick

[@moufuzz2759]

It's the same just play it with an acoustic

[@8iyht]

@@moufuzz2759 except there's a point where you do a 555 harmonic instead of a higher fret.

[@moufuzz2759]

@@8iyht wait. I'm sorry what's a 555 harmonic?

[@moufuzz2759]

@@8iyht oh waiiiittt like the frets 555?

[@8iyht]

Instead of the 15 16 16 on the E B G, he uses natural 555 harmonics.

[@JohnDickson-ki3qr]

Thanks man, this made practicing this riff loads easier, without having to restart the song repeatedly.

[@daraghhayes3592]

Tim so talented he can play guitar left and right handed

Henson I have no idea if you'll ever actually see this but I can't believe your legendary genius guitar skills! You have my utmost respect. I listen to Polyphia's albums and your singles on repeat like i'm back in school buying singles from HMV again xD I lost touch with guitar over the years but your newstyle ways are totally bringing my love for guitar back! Keep up the amazing work!! All of you - the whole band is a perfect mix. Looking forward to your new album! I already know it's gonna be a storm!!

[@POPSKI-82]

You know... if you play this at 0.25 speed.... what he is doing is actually even more incredible! The bends, left hand twangs and catches, harmonics... he is playing in so many ways.... it is truly incredible. Truly incredible.

Wow, Hendrix changed the game in the 60s, Van Halen in the 80s and now Henson in the 20s- absolutely incredible playing shown here, as always from Tim Henson, meticulous and awesome, articulate and rad!

[@Endo-uu8mo]

no its only a mix he does guitarplayers teach that at school some spanish fleas too so when hes so good wheres his Million records he sells with his Hippster band damn i see street players they did exactly the same thing but the doesnt sit on a couch and looks like a 8 yrs old child

But...where ?? I can't seem to find it !

[@choosechancemobiledetailin9587]

Indeed a guitar it is. That one looks like it has some character and been a few places. Love hearing you jam the acoustic. You are truly a guitar master and one of the best from this generation definitely the most technical. Your technicalites blow my away the suttle nuances ghost notes taps bro you blow me away. You are truly blessed.

[@johnsonsjams3439]

I’m just happy I’ve found Polyphia while I’m still fairly young and my brain can still pick up things really quick. Been playing for 15-20 years (idrk) and picked up this riff in a couple days. Honestly think learning their stuff if helping me become more creative and out of the box

[@luxro]

Listening to this in 0.75x, 1x and 1.25x speed, are three VASTLY different experiences. Highly recommend it.

[@Yell0w_Fell0w]

Watching his hands play this is probably the most peaceful, relaxing, amazing and smooth thing I’ve seen

[@nathankirch8679]

Loop is from “The Worst” for anyone who did not already know.

[@nickcage3703]

Ive watched this 100 times and still can't figure out where half those heavenly percussive noises are coming from

[@LjuboLukic]

He’s using a pickup - the guitar is wired into an amp or his computer :)

[@nicopaar4974]

This song is my morning alarm since half a year and it gets me up immediately. Half sleeping I take my guitar and play along and every second I become more awake and energetic. Half a year ago I couldn't imagine to play something like this but now... You can do and learn anything if you really concentrate on it and love the shit out of it. Thank you.

[@noobwaffle8874]

Where did u find the tabs?
