"Cobra Kai finale showcases Tim Henson's Flamenco-Laced Guitar Shred"

# Cobra Kai’s Soundtrack Gets a Guitar Upgrade with Tim Henson of Polyphia


*Cobra Kai* has brought in some talented guitarists to take its soundtrack to the next level. Charlie Robbins from Syncatto and now Tim Henson from Polyphia have each contributed killer guitar compositions influenced by flamenco, adding depth and energy to the series.

## Top Guitarists Add Their Signature Sound to Cobra Kai

In Season 6, Episode 6 of *Cobra Kai* Charlie Robbins of Syncatto delivered a flamenco-meets-classic-rock piece that perfectly complemented the episode’s action. Then, in Season 6, Episode 9, Tim Henson from Polyphia shredded through a composition titled *Furia de Panteras* with his signature Ibanez TOD10N guitar, once again infusing flamenco guitar influence into the series.

### The Meaning Behind *Furia de Panteras*

This piece’s name is tied to the fictional Spanish world-class dojo, competing in the *Sekai Taikai*, which is also the show’s international karate tournament held on the world’s largest karate stage. Henson’s composition captures the essence of this high-stakes setting with its captivating flamenco-inspired energy.

### Behind the Scenes of Cobra Kai’s Epic Soundtrack

The brilliant minds behind the show’s winning soundtrack, Leo Birenberg and Zach Robinson, collaboratively build the musical narrative, scene by scene. They have expressed their care and precision in ensuring that each note perfectly complements the on-screen visuals. They work closely with acclaimed guitarists, such as Andrew Synowiec and Myrone, to curate memorable musical moments throughout the series.

“There’s a lot of collaboration and consideration regarding which scenes will have music and the tone it should convey,” shared Birenberg.

Robinson added, “We work with amazing guitar players like Andrew Synowiec and Myrone. We’ll say, ‘You’re a master shredder. We want to hit this moment on screen with some type of arpeggio or shred lick,’ or whatever.”

### Tim Henson, the Virtuoso Behind Cobra Kai and Other Hits

This isn’t the first time Henson’s stellar guitar skills have been featured in a hit series. Earlier this year, he brought his signature sound as the guest guitar star in Netflix’s *Ultraman: Rising*. His distinctive prowess and electrifying energy continue to leave an indelible mark on the soundtrack landscape.
