Tim needs to start a metal school 🤘🏾
Nice to see you here chris
Oh dang, even the big bro pulled up 😂
yo its chris!
Be careful Chris…… he might create ethereal beings capable of such power-
You two remind me when in an rpg you decide to take the warrior route and your friend decides to go full rogue
My tuning is the B standard. (Baritone)
I thought this was a chick 😂
wheres the anti boomer bands comment?
I’ve never thought Bout being able to sing a guitar solo, and that makes more sense than anything I’ve ever heard
The playing + the singing out of tune in Bohemian Rhapsody is so funny 🤣
never heard of him. or his band. seems like a solid player though.
homie ALWAYS looks cozy
Tim is still a weird name for a chick.
I want to see Tim Henson exclusively use a black strat 🤣
he sounds so chill but he looks so PUUUUUUUUUNK yknow
10:53 How Tim Wrote “Playing God”
What are boomer bends cartoon elevator music guy ?
That tone at the beginning… I NEED IT
i legit had to search tim henson talking to find a video of him talking
This guy looks just like his guitar.
The joke is appreciated, but as an educator, the phrase “bar” chord is offensive, because it displays a sense of ignorance that while possibly historical in its usage hurts the feelings of classical composers who believe in accurate and sophistication on word choice… 👎
He’s so funny
what was the riff he played at 4:56
Tim didn’t really explain this, just kinda demonstrated it, but with barre chords its very easy to accidentally mute the strings, especially if you’re a beginner
