POV Playing God Unplugged 

I was thinking this same thing haha

So true lmao

Poor dude probably had a vein or two popping on his forehead halfway through X)

it's a good thing the winner of their guitar didn't do this challenge

this is what i thought the moment i saw the pov cam but u can see that he still shook his head a few times

😂😂😂 fuckin same

real (real)

ahahaha exactly

this is the realest real of real

Facts!

Can confirm.

His style matches his playing. Metal but also very sweet.

dudes fucking majestic and comfortable

fr

This comment is legendary! Lmfao!!!

Fave comment lmao

names would be, bender, harmonic, and kord

i hate you

Too much gay to have triplets.

That's probably the stabilizer doing stabilizer things.

Yeah he started at one point and then was like wait no I can't ahahaj

haha yea saw it at one point in the beginning but then he stopped

I was thinking this as soon as I clicked the video lol. Well spotted that he isn't just eyes closed scanning the wall that doesn't exist.

1:05 hahaha

You think Tim pays for his guitars? 😂

@@Le5Pau1 At the least the first one hahahahahah

He just has better notes.

Only six strings?

hahaha!that's good point!

Exactly what I thought

He's already playing in a band named "Polyphia"

He knows, it’s a joke

@@anonymous_kid6854 wow! as if i didnt notice

@@anonymous_kid6854 r/whoosh

Mirror neurons my man. Look it up

It’s probably because this is the way you view a guitar every time you play so anything you learn is done from this view.

Right? Like it's still hard but now it doesn't seem impossible

@@tshafeyeah, from that angle you can actually comprehend what he’s doing and the methods he’s using

yeah you get a clear view of those mighty fine toes

At least you don't play like me😂😂😭

to be god** at guitar in first person

real POV would just be eyes closed bopping head around

Same

Yep the infamous Polyphia glitch effect

let's be honest it's impossible to play this without bobbing your head (once you have finally managed to learn it)

Me watching this, in front of the same desk, with the same keyboard/trackpad combo, and a guitar stand to my left. Uncanny.

It makes me feel I suck at guitar 🫣

When i watch this video it feels like I’m inside of Tim Henson himself 🤯🤯

Yes it I’m left handed soo at the same time no

Best wishes to you! 🫶

It's a bit of a flex, but it's also true. I'm working on the GOAT riff, and it has that gradual escalation of difficulty that makes for a really good etude.

I got a question. Did you learn any other tutorials or methods before trying this out? if i were to say my level im pretty intermediate, struggle a bit with barre chords on acoustic and no nothing of scales on the fretboard besides pentatonic (a bit). should i know more or it doesnt matter. what was your routine before this?

@@BeatsShay I bet you can try to learn it, I learned the main riff on my accoustic guitar (folk) while being intermediate too, and, actually, the first comment is right, my guitar playing really evolved since I learned this riff (I also learned GOAT, The Worst, the feat with No Trust, and lalala, again just the main riff)

@@BeatsShay I'd recommend learning hybrid picking. A lot of their riffs use this technique and it is something I wished i started practicing sooner. I'm actually in the process of relearning how to pick because a lot of their songs were impossible with the way I had originally played

The sound of Playing God was very fresh. I was surprised Polyphia did something like this. Then they became my favorite band

Totally

Plus you get to see his painted toenails 😂

I dont even play the guitar but that part is just insane. My fav part of the song

It's honestly the trickiest part to play, i've spent more time refining that riff than the rest of the song

@@txuan4043 my second fav part, i like the first solo part best, then the ender

Tim himself called that part "A big bitch to try to figure out how to play it" in numerous videos

his hand freakin gets possessed by a spider at that part, it's insane

I believe for everyone to be able playing this songs, all you need is self discipline and focus on your purpose

You're right

@@Laura.Cynthia Can you?

@@justcallmemoses no Sir 🙏🏻😅

me too-- you can tell that he was mostly trying not to move his head too much, but he couldn't help himself haha. i can't either.

You sound like a bot

Haha yee! 😅

Same bud

It's the exact guitar he uses on album for this song.

​@@mike6515I think it's unplugged no?

@@ruffuls4212that’s literally what it says in the title 😂

@@thestoebz oh shit it right my bad 😂😂

@@ruffuls4212 it’s all good bro lol

Yeah hybrid picking is a massive part of his technique. It's actually not too difficult to learn but it's crazy useful for people who prefer to use picks. I never could switch between pick and finger reliably without dropping the pick or holding it weird etc. and having a huge delay when switching. Hybrid picking solves that perfectly.

@@Xtrendence I need to try this out then.

@@papercoolcat he dos it through the entire song btw

Same here, I can't even begin to describe why either. It's literal perfection to me.

Definitely! Kinda mindblown tbh lol. Such an easy fix for a problem i think many guitar players have with watching guitar lessons hehe.

@@menamgamg Yeah I've seen Ichika Nito do the same thing a few months ago, with a camera on his head. Very good idea especially for tutorial type videos.

@@usuallyclueless4477 These guys are taking it to the next level and i love it ;D I've been playing for 15 years and always learned a lot from watching RU-vid and i can't remember ever seeing a video like this.

Do you think more the 1k?

considering he plays this song quite a few times a week on tour, I really dont think he's having to do a bunch of takes in a studio haha. It's not like this is some kid on the internet trying to play the song. Hes a pro, this is probably a single take.

@@justcallmemoses definitely

He’s been playing 20 years lol makes sense fr

@@tylerparkermusic There I was feeling bad for Tim being a guitar god and 2 years younger than me. I've been playing for about 14 years

0:34 he kinda missed the rhythm right here

@@prasanna5954 God stuff, don't worry about it

You never fast even compare to ukelel player. Stay hidden

Yes

@@christiantaylor1495 Yes

Hey, how's it going? Is there any progress?

ur rad broo

Please upload short video about your progress sir

Same

it's never too late

@@abruoon yea ik, just wish I got into it when I was younger so I could be further ahead than I am now

@@Ghostynovus If you practice well you'll leave many of the early starters in your wake in a year or 3.

@@Ghostynovus I agree with Mark here! Just keep practicing with fun! ^^ I play for 13 years now but switched styles a lot and never had a practice routine besides learning some songs. I always feel embarrased when people ask me for how long I play guitar because I could be way better (secure/ efficient/ fretboard-knowledge/etc.) :D Good luck on your journey!

You read my mind in way I didn't think about

Very true. I was waiting for someone to mention the painted toenails

I bet it’s just for sh*ts and giggles with the open toe slippers. 😅

Was looking for this comment 😂😂. He’s such a cutie. I love him ❤

​@@iitstre_4550 ur gay

​@@nougatsoup queer

😂

What we really needed

Nah, his pedicure and fluffy slippers are even more impressive and confusing at the same time.

Your right

yes - Imagine going back to 1978 and getting a GoPro view from EVH playing Eruption - So much to learn, and so awesome to share all of the secrets with the next generation of players who will blow the next generation of our little minds wide open!!! Thanks for this - - - and would also love to see similar from Tim's other Polyphia brethren - - - you guys are all amazing musicians each in your own way - - many minds are out there waiting to be blown. Thank you!
