Nik secretly preparing to do a How To Polyphia video
If he actually did tho..
Maybe it could also be animals as leader?
Well it's not a secret anymore now. 😅
Hol up
In 30 seconds 😂
"just give me the tabs bro" most relatable sentence ever
said like a true metal guitarist
Ugh so true xD
I tried to learn the fast picking on playing god and I had no luck lol
i was about to comment this very same thing. im not normally someone who has patience. but fuck trying to just learn off the video of tim or ichika or marcin playing. that shit is too fast, too complex, and the augmentations and inversions are too foreign when your already jumping a damn octave every 5 bars or so. Alot of people dont talk about this. but his muscle memory is insane. he knows where every part of the fret board is without looking.
It genuinely disturbs me how effortless Tim makes this look. The amount of work this must take to perfect is wild to me.
I genuinely think you shouldn't be so easily genuinely disturbed.
@@radoslav2913 Geniunely WAH AH AH AH instead
I genuinely think you should just do this thing called practice
@@cweasegaming2692 I (genuinely) don’t have the finger length or dexterity for any level of practice to make a difference. 4 strings is the limit and I don’t need that in my life.

"We're too fast with the PP" should NOT have made me laugh as hard as it did
Tell me about it! 😂😂
As *hard*
3:51
Holy shit Nick I can't tell you how nice it is to have some fucking solidarity on this, I spent like 2 days trying to pick this up and to watch you suffer through the exact same emotions is pure fucking catharsis. You'll get it bud, just keep at it lmao. Tim's right in that once you can kinda sorta begin to do it you just kinda repeat it until your fingers bleed and it sorta kinda (not really) begins to feel natural.
@@spite_beeekilled3643 alright guitar police calm down, it's a metaphor for doing something a lot
what u have to bleed???
@@Dhieen gojira
I can do thump on bass but it feels so uncomfortable on guitar
@@Dhieen my guess is the "pp" mentioned in the video.
Tim is a very good teacher. He breaks things down in a constructive way. I hope he does more technique vids in his downtime
He probably has a director/instructor/coach for his video. I highly doubt he took the time to set this up and record it by himself.
@@ChrisTopherBunnell @Christopher Strong well that's where you're wrong. Tim's JOB is to literally write music in that exact chair for the majority of his time.... pretty sure he can pick up a few teaching skills since he's already mastered the guitar. But a bold assumption from you nonetheless
I vaguely remember he said he used to give guitar lessons actually, which is like a go-to source of income for a skilled musician when they aren't famous enough (yet) to rely on their own music to make money
@@WishMount I am wrong? were you there? do you know Tim Henson personally? Do you know his manager or agents? At the age of 29, his net worth is $48Million. If I was worth Fifty Million Dollars, I think I would have crews and assistants.
@@WishMount You should take a college class in Television/Video Field Production, so you can learn that a room like that is not a simple setup and takes time to arrange, time that he should be spending on his intense production and touring schedule. He didn't make $50M by wasting his time making free promotional videos by himself on CZcams, at least not since he reached his current level of success..
As an old guy who doesn't use a pick but is envious of your shredding, I have to say I enjoyed this video immensely.
As a guy who uses a pick. I have to say I feel the pain in this video
Sometimes I forget Nik is an actual guitarist and it startles me how good he is
No one is forgetting he’s an actual guitarist. Can we please stop with this?
18 YEARS
@@Vynextus jokes on you I have the memory of a snail
Nik plays guitar?
@@Drewthemagnificent not what he said, but what every top comment says where nik is seen with a guitar
tim henson taught me how to quit guitar
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The number 1 prevention method to pick up a guitar for current generations 😅
true
😂😂😂😂
“That’s too fast with the PP here.”
😂😂😂😂😂
Honestly Tim's comments on this video about how to properly fingerpick erased 4 years of bad habits of mine and immediately made me click and improve my technique. This guy is not just a skilled guitarist, he knows how to teach stuff.
Then I threw my guitar away in frustration with cramps in my thumb trying to thump. I'm glad Nik is here to make me feel a bit better. Thanks Nik :D.
I know you meme it up for entertainment, but it's pretty encouraging to see someone as good as you also struggle with new techniques.
Speaking of - if you need more video ideas: I for one would definitely have good use of a Nik Nocturnal series of videos about how to do those fun metal things that some of us never learned to do. Sweep and chug tutorials when?
Figure it out yet?
Tim's guitar sounds soo good!
Insane amounts of compression
@@s.e.n3264 Sounds good, regardless. There are no rules for using guitar effects to achieve your desired tone. Whether it's modulation, distortion, compression, etc. In this case, compression helps with percussive rhythm playing. In other cases, you wouldn't use that much compression.
Have you heard the Chon bubble dream audio tree live video?
@@s.e.n3264 anything wrong with that?
Coz Ibanez always crafted better Guitars.
Its amazing seeing the one who I've been learning guitar from learning from someone else, Guitar is neat.
And now you're learning from someone learning from someone else.
Very neat.
I'm a total stranger to fingerpicking, idk if that's just standard practice, but it's funny how the letters that Tim uses for the fingers don't correspond to their English names, but actually fit their French names (and I'm assuming it works for other Latin languages too). Like P = pouce (thumb) and A = annulaire (ring finger).
Pulgar y anular in Spanish
polegar e anelar in Brazilian Spanish
@@GabrielSilva-mz4pf Romance Languages ftw boiii
I suppose they come from Spanish since classical guitar technique was mostly developed here, but I'm confused about the middle finger being an M. Yes, it can be called "dedo medio" I guess, but the normal terminology is "dedo corazón" (heart finger), so a C would make more sense
they probably come from Italian, like most western music names.
After the video I realized I'll never be able to fingerpick or thump.
Lol well tell your girlfriend she needs to teach you
@@pandulce4447 nah no female has given me a chance in over a decade. I gave up on that part of life a long time ago. And guitar.
hey bro it's ok, at least you can use your right hand for other things
@@lucashouse9117 Sorry bro unironically :( I know this feel
But it leaves you to become the happiest version of yourself no distractions at least.
@@goldengrill769 I don't think happy is in the cards for me. Crohn's disease has wrecked my life. It's ok though.
"Woah woah we're too fast with the PP"
I choked on my drink laughing
That's such a nice video, i have the exact same experience, trying to learn this song from Tim's tutorial
Had to laugh a lot here, it looks so easy but it's so horrible hard haha
Been loving the more guitar focused content keep it up nik love from the Netherlands.
Watching Nik learn complicated guitar stuff is like watching myself learn how to do the most simple of tasks
I’m glad I’m not the only one that still laughs at PP. I still laugh when I see PP when playing Pokémon lol
Nik doesn't have enough PP for this guitar skill
this video is so hilarious! Nik's transparency and poking fun at himself are so well done! I hope you know you are actually a great guitarist bro!
I love watching your videos Nick! Always makes me smile!
"we are too fast with the PP here" that's what she said
it’s VERY encouraging how even Tim Henson (for emphasis, TIN HENSON) says it’s very difficult
LOVE this video so much - Nik's entire processing of Tim's tutorial is so unapologetically authentic of what I'm sure is every guitarist looking at someone trying to teach them something. [definitely me!] "just give me the tab's bro" 👀😁
Tim Henson taught me to how to dougie
Seeing the guy who covers entire songs in less than a day struggling that much learning a new technic kinda relieves my soul
Luv u Nik
Finally, virgin mathematics rock
Once you get used to it this technique is actually not too difficult (as used in this video). It feels great too. I’ve started using it to practice a sweep / finger picking combo that I see Manuel Gardner Fernandez using and it feels godly. Tim is such a boss for taking the time to give tutorials like this
omg this is giving me flashbacks to learning the classical guitar. God Bless you Nick it's such a P-A-I-N!!!!!
Dude, thanks for taking us along that adventure to share in the knowledge. Respect. 👊
Genuinely excited to see you get better at this
I've been working on learning this for a few days now, and it's like the 4th thumping video I've watched. Just getting used to the finesse that's necessary took me longer than I would like to admit. I'm just starting to get decent at it. Still nowhere near Tim, but his video was the most helpful in teaching me the technique. It really does take a LOT of practice to get it. I'm usually a quick study, but I've been learning this technique for like 2 weeks, and I'm just now starting to feel confident with it. It's so so fun, once you get the hang of it.
It's just reassuring to see even Nik do something that makes him feel like a new guitarist, makes me feel like even I can learn this shit lmao
Learnt that etude and practised that technique a couple days ago aswell and your suffering made me feel better. Thanks :)
Dude, your videos are always amazing. Really love your channel! Keep it up
dude you're the best haha. i love that you're not afraid to be humble and laugh at yourself. keep doing the great work!
Hey Nik, of course I literally just found this video. I don't play guitar at all but to watch you suffer through that lesson was both funny but frustrating even for me! Tim definitely has a style all his own.
Tim is like surprisingly good at giving instructions. It's kind of insane.
Tim Henson x Nik always makes my day brighter
Im glad nik is back with the guitar content.
great video as always nick.
i am wanted for arson in 37 countries
Gotta get that number up my man
Why don’t you make it 38?
rookie numbers
this channel is absolute metal and guitar gold :p love Nik
"whoa that's too fast with the pp"
that's what she said.
The editing notes are making me laugh so hard. Great job making the learning of this fun.
What a time to be the part of the guitar world \m/ love this campaign where Tim teaches different people.
Nik your videos have been top notch lately, keep it up please
Super nice to see you try this! As a classical guitarist I am way better at fingerpicking than at playing with a pick, and I can't stop myself from pointing out that you could try to pick more from the fingers and less from the hand as a whole. I see your hand make a little jump every time you pluck the i-m-a fingers, and you should aim for a steady hand that does not or barely move. This will make it easier to play with as little tension as possible, as well as more economical. so you can speed it up better. =)
In the meantime, I will just struggle like hell to learn how to sweep, and get encouragement from your cover videos!
Tim's tone is soo good...
Nik, from personal experience, you'll never stop learning. You're an excellent guitarist/musician so never give up
Tim is a monster on the guitar, its crazy
The fact that he can do this at all and didn't give up immediately is impressive.
Lol, great video. I'm here looking at the callous on my thumb, realizing I've a mirrored experience. For me, it's been the fancy pick techniques that I've slacked on. I used to lose my picks all the time, so I developed my finger picking. I should probably load up a sweep picking video now.
Awesome content! Fingerstyle perspective: try keeping the RH pinky off the guitar. Also try preparing the ima fingers before you pluck so you don't have to think about it.
One of the funniest videos I've watched by you nik
Broooo, nice you checked this percussive fingerstyle out..... its so different from normal playing, i can completely feel with you.
When he said "just give me the tabs bro" so seriously and deadpan I felt that
Watching you struggle with someone else's lessons is me struggling with your lessons. Love the content.
This was hilarious!!!!! My man…keep pushing
🤣 thank you for being real with the struggle of all Tim's techniques
2:55 exactly what i feel trying to do this shit
The of the legend pick and thumbs around.
Loved the duo pic with Tosin Abasi
This is honestly inspiring me to learn how to play the guitar, maybe one day💔
When I was in Middle School and learning Guitar my Teacher taught us both finger picking and with the picks so when I learned that many people don't play or know that way I was so confused because I figured both methods were always taught. Of course that was so many years ago and I haven't played guitar in probably about 13 years or so I doubt I still could do it.
Anyway I love this video it's fun to see a Guitar God like Nik try and learn something new.
It's like learning guitar for the first time. I have so little control over my thumb I feel like I'm Dj Khaled playing guitar.
Little tip for your thumb technique, your picking motion kind of moves away from the guitar as you downstroke, try keeping your thumb as absolutely relaxed as possible and bring it through the string with force from your wrist, this way when it lands on the next string it’s immediately in position for the upstroke
Defiantly a harder technique to learn. A few things I can recommend is buy the guitar messenger Tosin thump course, it’s amazing. Second, there’s a really good tutorial I found by ando San that breaks down the movement almost perfectly and that started me off so well with the technique. Also I noticed that you’re doing more of a slapping motion on the string instead of going through it like a pick, you are gonna want to get a little nail in there as well just to add more attack to the string. I enjoyed watching this, please do more.
This was incredibly entertaining thank you 😂
Nik is goated for patience and emphasis ❤️
Hey Nick, thanks for the video
Thats where i recognize, playing guitar 3 years in music school was important. Learned from the bottom with aucustic on nylon.
Great video!! You’re amazing 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
keep going, great video
This hurts to watch! It’s someone who’s already really skilled (Nik) struggling to learn something new from someone who is even more skilled (Tim) and I’m sitting here not even remotely as good as either lol.
Good job! I’m used to fingerpicking, but not the thump. I’ll have to get skilled up with this video too!
Tim has the nicest guitars I’ve ever seen
NICE 1 BRUH! I ENJOY WATCHING YOU PRACTISING THE TIM HENSON SIGNATURE STYLE! GOODJOB SIR
As someone in the very early beginning of learning guitar, it was honestly reassuring to see you struggle to learn a new thing. A nice reminder that we all suck when we first try something.
I like to play with my fingers because I'm trying to play solo and sing, makes it easier for me to put emphasis on the bass when needed when strumming chords, makes it sound more dynamic and easier to throw some single note shenanigans on the middle. But I can't metal so for me the stuff like sweep picking or playing fast is like "that is not possible, must be sped up".
There's so much to learn about playing guitar it's overwhelming sometimes, also it's pretty cool to know that there's always more stuff to learn no matter how long you train!
If you want to get deep into the thump technique listen to brazillian guitarist(acoustic) post baden powel, such as raphael rabello and yamandu costa, the sound is very much part of modern samba and brazillian guitar since baden made it popular about 50 years ago
Could replace with slap on the downstream and a slap release on the upstroke(similar technique) then pop with the index mid and ring for a mo funky approach.
see a teacher like nick suffer to try to do it. says how amazing Tim is.
You surprisingly did really good
It's fun to see someone who is good at guitar be confused and bewildered by guitar instructions from some one better at guitar than them the same way i am when i watch a basic ass guitar instruction tutorial as a beginner/novice. I can relate to all of it haha
this actually helped incurraging me to get back into learning how to play guitar. thank you :p
Mate, your videos just make me bloody laugh. Every time. 👏
wow how did you make a video explaining all the frustrations of practising
Already resting the other fingers is a great tip to increase speed. Now i can practice those crazy ichika ghost notes
It actually makes me feel better to see Nik struggling to learn something makes me feel less like the utter fail I am 😂
Try lightly “hooking” every finger besides thumb, under each corresponding string adding slight tension as if there’s a rubber band on your thumb pulling your other fingers. Once the thumb hits its 2nd note, imagine the rubber band slowly snapping and each finger pulls its corresponding string in order
We want weekly updates for this :)
5:44 a tip don’t reposition your hand while finger picking it’ll become harder to pick the correct string 😅
I love you man, your PP laughter. 😂
seeing good guitarists struggling to learn something on guitar is very encouraging to me, makes me feel like i'm not the only one having trouble learning to play
Everyone has a comfort zone. Its rare you see someone outside of that on youtube. Im sure Tim has one too…
I’m glad to see Nik be so clumpsy with it like i am with every freaking thing i learn on the guitar haha
Nick I believe by next video you can have this mastered
Drop OMEGALUL breakdowns lmaooo
lolo fun
a good sense of motion to apply to your thumb when thumping is you are sort of slivering your thumb, resting it on the next string and then reversing the movment avoiding to touch your nail with the string because it gives off another sound :D
this technique originates from bass playing! thank mr wooten for that
I picked up Tim from a Chicken Express back in the day. Very chill guy and open minded.
I tried to learn how to thump a couple months ago and gave up because it was just too difficult lmao. Glad to know that even with 18 years of playing experience, Nik is going through the same thing. I guess I'll have to try again.
