[@pocketdialmusic]

I never noticed until trying to learn any polyphia riffs but the use of hybrid picking is so amazing, so vital to that polyphia sound

[@stefanmccabe4705]

Everytime I try to learn a Polyphia riff, I suddenly realize how easy they make everything seem 🤣

[@dokebi999]

Oliver Thomas i learned to play bubble dream using hybrid picking a year ago, it kinda killed the dynamics specially on the 2nd riff 😂

[@klamin_original]

May be the case because of Tim‘s classical music education he had as a child

[@rowenh8982]

Hybrid picking but also secret harmonics that you barely hear but are hidden everywhere.

[@soumavbose8780]

Same here, man. Even I tried learning hybrid picking after watch Tim, and somehow soloing feels different and a bit easier now. Polyphia is kinda one of the main reason I stopped playing rhythm (*cough *cough power chords) and started learning solos, riffs and other good techniques.

[@dynomantar9733]

Thank you Tim, you made me a better guitar player, seriously. .Hybrid picking .Taps .Tap slides .Harmonics All techniques I never practiced before polyphia changed my life

"I can play A LOT of songs on guitar." "All the way through?" "What am I, a fuckin' iPod?"

[@clyski]

he's got a unique masterful guitar playing along with him, and a lot of young cats alike are looking up to him. At the same time Tim realizes this fact that's why he's got a lot of play through or tutorials for his tracks so younger guitar players can be encouraged to play these tasty riffs. Or have a guitar as part of their lifestyle. Guitar has been dying in the past few years with the lofi rnb hip hop wave coming in, and I admire folks like Tim sharing his immense talent through ways like these.
