A verbal is a word formed from a verb but functioning as a different part of speech. "Tying his shoe" is a participle phrase. In fact, it is present participle phrase, as it is created from the form of a verb used with the verb to be as an auxiliary verb (progressive tense).

You can tell this by asking the following question: How did Garrett prevent the embarrassing fall? Tying his shoe.
