Playing God (Polyphia) but on one guitar only 

100% deserved

@@MilkyPotsuCongrats!!! Will you still be making a tutorial for this in the future?

Congrats bro! job well done!

Sounds like they can't wait to hear what you do with it!

Just saw the boys video , congrats dude , you blew them hats off !

Lol facts 😂

LMAO

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

He solos Polyphia verse 💀

​@@Snowhaletheayakamain The Polyverse

Nylon strings

@@donnelleraeburn9207 just isnt nylon though is it

​@@donnelleraeburn9207 did you watch and listen to this video and still make that comment? 😂

@@donnelleraeburn9207 nylon strings doesn't sound like that

@@Nsquare_01 then he is cracked

firsy

2nd. I also subscribed.

you too!!

Here from the results video as well, hope to see you do something with polyphia. this was simply incredible

I want to see him play the guitar now haha

congratulations bro!

Well deserved man, amazing performance.

Jesus Christ loves you

To be fair to Tim, he has to play many Polyphia songs back to back live and only gets one take. Nonetheless this guy is really impressive.

I have always played 12’s on Electric - to be fair it makes the switch to Acoustic much more doable especially on this song. But this mad lad has a whole different galaxy of difficulty to play with

Also the strings of an acoustic being much harder, its also a matter of how callused your fingers are. If you are playing almost exclusively electric you wont have calluses as evolved as when you play acoustic hence when you then pick up an acoustic it hurts the fingers more quickly and your fingers wont have as much strength as an acoustic player

​@@TheGamefreakr this song is pain in electric guitar cuz of how loose strings are

It helps that it appears the action on this acoustic is ideal 🎉

For what I know that part was easy for him. What you meant maybe was the one at 2:43 - 3:04 where Tim really struggled

@@kevinbasel8401 I didn't say Tim Struggled. I said he had not thought of doing it. If you check Playing God playthrough Tim doesn't do 1:25 - 1:40 part in harmonics. The harmonics was Paolo Ganz flavor showing in this cover. Tim Henson even said it was cooler than the original.

@@jalanit Sorry miss-translate what you said. You right about it

When and where did Tim Henson said that? They were surprised of the drum solo at 2:15, Tim Henson played the same thing for 1:25-1:40 in his unplugged version lol wtf? Edit : The below comment is not directed at _wewww and NGuyEN28410, but to the other keyboard warriors. Asking a question with "lol wtf" as a confused surprise expression is considered arguing for some. At least the ones that gave me some insight taught me something, while some try to sound smart themselves. Why not attend some communication class, if you couldn't differentiate wtf is a question and argument. Did I mention the video lied? Did I say they are wrong? So proud and flexing just because you can hear some harmonics? Elitist much?

@@onedayiwillbegone2366 in "Polyphia Roasts Fan Covers" at 2:10 Tim literally says "Oh he's harmonic-ing this part? It's cooler than the original" and in Tim's unplugged version he literally doesn't use harmonics while Paolo uses harmonics lol, look at their left hand and you'll see it's clearly different.

What’s percussion

@@mudfishm2056 he means hitting the body of guitar to create a beat while playing

@@MarkusCover ty

Bruhhhhhhhhhh, honestly it's so effortless it's not fair

Way better than Tim😅✌🏻

Thank you so much!!

Yes, it WILL reach 1M

But the original song has 11M views. Lol

Give it some time bro, he only uploaded 6 days till now, I believe it definitely will over 1M in the future!!!

RU-vid be like., 50k take it or leave it

lol i thought you were gonna say its the hardest for an old guitar player hahahaha

That has nothing to do with the video..😅

I'd recommend watching some Andy McKee

@@tripcave420 I can play 3 of his tunes 😂andy doesn’t do covers he does original songs

It was so fckn clean bro

true

Love the scratches!!!

That's not even 100% anymore.

Thank you very much!

honestly percussion doesnt blow my mind as much as added bass notes in solo parts. i could imagine i makes fingering way trickier than without bass notes

@@lolwhatever7307 True tho, but when i tried adding percussions, it messes up my right hand fingering lol (prob i suck...)

Omg thank you idol cong!!

LODDSS CONG!! GAWA KA DIN COVER NITO

Invite nyu to sa payamansion tapos guitar battle sila ni angel haha

@@jeff4r533 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

Yung Napa comment at napabilib mo si cong. Panalo!!

nah he's just forcing to

That is actually tim, he is cosplaying

Best comment 🤣

@@KxiKaii bruh he's just feeling the music lmao

Kai is unable to feel the music

Thank you very much!!

idk why this feels like a back handed complement for this artist

@@Denden-mx9gl I think broken chords is playing a chord note by note rather than all at once

@@ethankim7979 what I meant was he was talking to this guy like he doesn't have that level, that's why I said it was a back handed compliment

@@Denden-mx9gl ahh isee

absolutely crystal clear.

Go check out Lucas Brar and his Polyphia Jazz cover. It’s mindblowingly harder too 🤯

The fact that Tim mentioned to Rick Beato that he is having a hard time playing Polyphia songs on acoustic because of the steel string makes this cover even more impressive. Tim signature acoustic Ibanez with Nylon strings is made for him to make it easier for him to play Polyphia songs on acoustic.

⁠@@gabrielc3303I love Lucas but I’m not sure that was harder than this 😂

polyphia guy KEKW

@@coooolibri he said guys

They saw it ! And he won a brand new guitar. Well deserved !

he won the contest, so they did

@@rebisco2002 just saw that. Well deserved!

ارتاح

i was just trying to learn the original, struggling, got bored and decided to surf youtube, ya know, maybe watch some guitarists worse then i am fail. Instead i find this masterpiece. If any body else is able to make a cover even close to this (in terms of skill level and just overall sound), i shall promptly staple my nuts to the wall

@@LokiAnderson7 bet

@@ac8785 *throws stapler out the window

Omg thank you po!!

I would give this a thumbs up. However, that would break up the 420

@@teacherchad2777 Cringe.

@@johnmartinez7440 WTF is that supposed to mean?! If you don't understand the 420, then you missed the joke! Haha Tim Henson would totally understand and agree 👍

@@teacherchad2777 Hello, I am Tim Henson and I have broken into a man's house and stolen his phone just to say that I disagree.

Yeah right, no way Jim Henson could play this on guitar.

Thank you very much!

Not just the cleanest but the best because it's fingerstyle acoustic! He's even doing the drums!

Yuichi did the cleanest. This one though is the most dynamic, best feel.

@@gordonchristophertubo3164 But Yuichi's was more of a "play over". You can see how Paolo change some things to make it fit into his playingstyle and creating a very own and unique version of it

@@enton3728 playover is not a bad thing, when viewing it in the context of covering a technically difficult song, because very few have done it well. I see what you mean though about adding a personal touch, and he gets props for it as well.

Ikr it almost sounds better than the original with those taps

So sweet

Yeah that finger percussion in there was mwahhhh so tastyyyy

I can only dream of playing this song. Hopefully, I could play it on a real guitar too.

@@hunterlawless8835 yeaaaah. And they have this smu, shit-eating grin like they were doing the world a favor by posting it up.

@@oggysoggydoggy9534 lmfaoo it's mainly just that smug look on their face whilst missing half the notes

Not quite the type of “thumb nail” comment I was expecting at first lmfao

so fucking true

he has an IU cover?? I must go see that now!

This aged well.

​@@bnzi2470 Omg I saw the video when it first came out and was so happy when I saw they featured this cover, but I never actually finished the video, so I didn't realise he had actually WON it until your comment brought me back to this video 😭 That's insane, congrats to this guy. Also cool that I found it 2 months prior haha!

Adding percussion made it extremely difficult and even more impressive than the original. From Tim Henson himself: "this is way cooler, I have to do a cover of his cover." 😁 Well deserved, bro! You should have million subscribers!

@@MissMailer Tim really said that? Wow

​@@NaisanSama yeah

He is playing 'with' god

Ascended with the fingerstyle gods

Thank you!!

I agree! though it made me feel like "Guitarist feat. Compressor". Still it fit very well, kind of polyphia-like actually.

@@skeletonrowdie1768 yep

In my ears this cover is one of the most well done but the human sounding as well. The dynamics is very audible.

@@gordonchristophertubo3164 And we need more likes ,21k likes in 2 weeks more coming

Salamat po tita!

@@PaoloGans congrats on winning the contest!

I love Kent Nishimura's arrangement of that song. It manages to incorporate just enough to add to the listening experience before it gets showboaty

when i read this comment i went straight to watch Kent Nishimura's man in the mirror and it is amazing! (and so is this cover, absolutely mind-blowing 🤯)

I'd throw in Tommy Emmanuel's Somewhere Over the Rainbow cover as well

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

It will be either “the Grammy for best live solo performance of classical/flamenco guitar” Or “the Grammy for best solo/band acoustic recording goes to” You get what I mean He will be winning awards with his playing. A virtuoso in the making, no make at the start of his long and wonderful career.
