Boomer bends are roughly 99% of my solos. 😭😭😭

[srogers]

It's rightful, but silly name. As an old dude, I don't take offense to it. All 3 fingers lined up on the G-string and pull that note up a full step. It brings such joy to my grandfatherly heart.

[MartaBuck]

I don't think the actual boomers are mad.

The double stop pentatonic lick he played was tastier than anything in polyphia

This man has found a new age. Somewhere between 15 and 30.

[j.snyder]

bommer bending for 40+ years ... never failed me yet

[BleachCowboy]

lmao I think that's the perfect way to describe them

[akikarvonen]

You don't boomer bend with such a correct hand position.

[quinnquitars]

The only thing missing is the les Paul

[Chalupador]

Lets be real here, we all lowkey fuck with a good boomer bend here and there

[LDReaver]

It's just a blues bend lol, calling it a boomer bend just makes it sound like it's meant to be an insult

[graciekattan]

Funny I’m no where close to being a boomer but I actually love the way those bends sound

[noblesiner]

For as talented and innovative as this guy is (and he is) He will never be as popular or sell more records then those "Old guy" boomer benders. Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Zz Top could do a concert right now in their 70's and 80's and would attract audiences 100's of thousands of times bigger than he'll ever be able to attract in spite of how talented and innovative he is.

This boomer isn't triggered. I'm delighted to see someone with Tim's abilities and style come along.

[RabidRavenTV]

Neck tattoos always make people look stiff-necked for some reason, almost like they can't bend their neck or something

[MeatCognition]

"I'm offended by the term, 'Boomer Bend.' Please stop using it."

"Okay Boomer."

[somerandomfatguy.]

I love boomer bends...they are awesome and have very amazing feels to it.

[IamCombustible]

a lot of beer guts and receding hairlines in here

[matthewtracey]

Seems legit. Sick bend with his pinky. I only play boomer bends and I can’t get my pinky to do it like that.

[whoneedsanation]

yeah people get mad about what word I use to refer to a kind of person that cuts me off in traffic, so I can empathize
