I'm an old hippie into classic rock so i don't get it, but i'm blown away mannn. love it!! This kid is incredibly marketable even without the guitar- best guitar playing i eva seen mannn!!
if you're an old hippie did you ever hear of Tommy Emmanuel, that is real skilled guitarist he can play anything and everything, even stringed instruments he's never played before, that is genius. Classical Gas [Mason Williams] | Tommy Emmanuel. and this is on an acoustic guitar he's mostly given up electric, probably fed up after a lifetime of studio work.
When I was about 14, my Dad took me to see Return to Forever. We have a distraught relationship due to his alcoholism, but your guys’ music brings a tear to my eye remembering one of the few good times we had together. I can’t overstate how big of a deal it is that fusion is still alive and well. Thank you Polyphia and Tim for helping us see some light in the darkness.
The rule is that we develop our style and then try to perfect it. Yes! Tim is a virtuoso's virtuoso, but what really makes him even greater is that he found his own original sound.
…and it’s incredible how versatile the instrument becomes with the additional strings. You’re able to have a hybrid bass/guitar sound mixed with overlapping techniques from both.
Tosin Abasi was one of the first to popularize it over a decade ago, now it's the norm. It became a trend just like the thin body nylons are trending due to playing god.
@@stringbreaker87 Do you think it's really a norm now? I love 8 string guitars but i've only seen a few people willing to get one when they're looking for a new guitar
@@-PlayingGoD- any really, check out Wave of Babies, CAFO, The Woven Web, The Glass Bridge, Tooth and Claw, Kascade, Red Miso... Just pretty much anything...
It's really cool to see this song played in this fashion. This also solidifies just how the much bass is doing in this track which really makes me want a Clay Gober bass play-through if he hasn't done so already.
I agree with you, thanks for saying this. More bass is awesome, especially when you’ve got the duo thumping on 8-strings while Clay is still holding down the low end. I love bass.
I grew up listening to jazz cause my dad loved it. I eventually got into metal and this is a great combination of both. I am looking forward to showing this to my dad i know he will enjoy this. Fantastic music. Edit: This must feel so good to play, i can see it and feel it, fuck yeah.
@@TheMessage25 have you seen Anomalies’s video from 2 years ago showing off this song solo? Crazy how it’s exactly the same and no one ever knew it was going to be a Polyphia song
Ethan- This beautiful song does the same thing to me also. It brings me into a place of sheer joy! Not many songs have that effect. This one is really Special! 🎸🎼🎶✴️
This is one of my favorite songs for sure. And seeing the couch version was even cooler lol. A *cheers* to some of the most fun and coolest guitar playing to watch and listen to ever! 🍺
@@nunyabeezwax7417 he looks like someone who puts a lot of effort into waving the 'im different, i want everyone to know' flag rather than just getting on with it. I know plenty of artists who got some tats because they paint amazing things and they wanted to wear some of their art say, and i know artists who wear jeans and t shirts. His playing is amazing and i cant play like that, but at the same time i dont know if i would want to. If i quit my job with the goal of becoming an amazing player and spent every waking moment practicing to replicate that style... personally no thanks. No real groove, nothing that tugs at your insides and makes you purse your lips and involuntarily go 'oh yeah!' and bob your head. It sounds like microchips. Only my opinion of course. Im still glad he's successful. And im only mid 30s. not wishing for elvis to come back.
Reminds me of a throwback to 8bit Nintendo music, in the best way possible. Tim can play melodies on guitar that used to only be possible by a midi player reading notes arranged by a crazy Japanese composer. It reminds me when Tim said something like he doesn't even love guitar as much as he loves creating music and the guitar is his best vehicle for it
I went back to see his older videos and I found one with him as a kid. It’s insane to see how much he’s grown both musically and style-wise lol. Those tattoos and fashion really added to his musical skill and make him really unique and cool
Funky slaps and pops, jazzy runs, ethereal harmonics, and slick melodic transitions come together for an awesome track! Incredible playthrough as always Tim.
I'm absolutely astonished by the creativity of your music. I've struggled for years to become 1/4 the player you have become. It keeps me inspired to learn and play more. Thank you
This video really solidified the name of the song for me. The audacity Tim has to just hit us with this the way he does... the song just has the perfect amount of sass to really draw the message home.
When listening to Anomalie's beat before the guitar was added, it's almost impossible to imagine more being added to it, yet you did it again here masterfully. No one else could have done it justice like this. Both versions are incredible on their own, but together... wow. my favorite riffs you write are the ones that mesh perfectly with the vocals; like ABC, Positions, or this (the keys feel like vocals to me) . This is my favorite song for sure. Shit SLAPS so hard.
Tim looks like he's been pulled straight out of death note. Or maybe from an MCR concert crowd. Or both lol. Phenomenal playing as always, my jaw punctually drops whenever he uploads
The only song I've actually looked up to see if it was legit. I'm nearly certain other parts were quantized on the track, but being able to play something live with zero cuts like this is still next level incredible.
Tim, Your music has helped me in so many ways. You have no idea. I discovered Polyphia in 2016 when you released Nightmare - since then you have been my favorite band and YOU my favorite guitarist. I still remember the first time I heard Blood Moon - this takes me back to that time. I might not become a guitarist in a band - or a bassist for that matter. But what you do, and your sound inspire me to do greater things. Thank you for being my inspiration.
Amazing doesn't even begin to describe what we just watched and heard. I'm still going to say the most impressive (bewildering) part to me is how relaxed Tim is. It's almost as if isn't even paying attention to what he is playing like he is thinking of something else entirely yet not a missed note or a single flaw . This just shows that Tim is truly a next level, incarnation if you will, of guitar virtuoso's. I'm going to listen again now, thanks for the upload Tim.
That is called being in "the zone" or, more scientifically, a "flow state." He is, in fact not really paying attention to nor thinking about what he's playing at all. He has excelled to a point where he only needs to rely on muscle memory. This is the mark of mastery. I first noticed it was a thing when I realized I was completely zoned out, my eyes not even in focus while playing DDR and Guitar Hero, I was hardly even looking at the notes yet I was hitting them all. Best of all it is a form of meditation/mindfulness practice, and it feels incredible. But yeah, Tim has truly mastered the art, and every song he writes. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!!
He said in an interview that he can't think about what he's playing, because if he thinks then he'll mess up. This describes a true refinement of his craft along with an ability to enter and maintain a flow state
How many times do you think he's played it / how many hours has he spent relentlessly drilling every single note? Regardless of how much talent the individual has, it takes an insanely massive amount of work and practise, sustained over many many years, to achieve this "magic". :)
Give Tim more strings? You've just unlocked his next phase... YOU FOOLS! Tim, from when you guys released Finale until now, you've just been power levelling my dude. This was amazing to say the least
I love these videos showing you play these songs. To, us fans, who have heard these songs repeditavely, it's a really cool experience watching your "Guitar hero" playing it. ❤
Stoke levels are high, dude! Vibes are cruisin' like a lowrider on Ocean Park Boulevard. Imagine the socalsun's warm on your skin, and the Pacific breeze whispers sweet nothings in your ear. Throw on some Wayfarers, crank up the Beach Boys, and Tim Henson let the good times roll. It's a SoCal state of mind, and it feels like endless summer.
I dunno if this was intentional but I love how percussive this song sounds, everything from the guitars and bass sound more percussive than any other polyphia song imo, and it kinda feels like the drums are the highlight
One thing i absolutely love about this playthrough is it pulls your guitar out of the mix so it seems to isolate every part a little more and it exposes just how well you guys craft your tones for the bigger picture. In the original recording everything sounds so unified and blended it gives the impression like one mind is controlling everything
Tim si sveglia la mattina, fa colazione, accende il computer, prende una chitarra con tante corde e registra qualcosa 😅…grande 🎸🔥🤟🏻…saluti dall’Italia 🇮🇹
