One of my good friends who I played with in my first band, is heavily influenced by Tim’s playing. I used to think Tim’s licks are pretty insane (and they are) and unplayable due to the complexity but my friend played “GOAT” on a roughly built acoustic guitar and nailed every note and harmonic. That told me two things:
1. The compositions are unique and fun to make people want to learn them
2. With enough and right practice, they ARE accessible. It’s not easy but it’s not rocket science either.
In my eyes Tim Henson is already a guitar legend, playing god will go down as one of the greatest compositions ever written on guitar, just like 70s and 80s kids all wanted to copy Eddie Van Halen’s eruption, the kids of this generation all wanna copy Tim herons playing god, you can literally ask guitar teachers and that’s one of the most requested songs to learn, he truly is a modern guitar god
I LOVE Tim Henson and the fact that you hired him!
Great!

Baby boomers got upset with that but it’s okay because…
My mind: Because they’re all gonna die out soon
I paid $330 for a Chinese made fender modern player telecaster plus, thing plays like a dream.
