Polyphia’s lead guitarist Tim Henson, is one of my favorite progressive metal guitarists. His signature guitar is Ibanez THBB10.
He’s extremely creative and talent, and his peculiarity is that he can very easily create astounding riffs. For example check out this video.
His signature technique is hybrid picking, and it’s thanks to him that I started learning it and to play the guitar. The first piece I studied was G.O.A.T., one of his masterpieces.
There are many other pieces I like, for example I recommend O.D., The Worst and Death Note.
I also particularly appreciate his solo work, for example his part from Jared Dines’ Biggest Shred Collab of 2019.
That’s out of this world. Also, he has recently improved his thumping skills, producing another masterpiece.
