The Making Of Playing God 

Im constantly whistling that part

Yess i wish i could whistle just so that i can whistle that part. Super catchy melody

YO HE ISNT EVEN A PROFFESIONAL HES JUST SOME GUY WITH FIVERR

@@bohdigage2251 a professional is just someone who gets paid for their profession so technically he's a professional

I kind of wish it was on the guitar at the same time so I could learn and play that cool melody

Great job!

That was literally the high point of the song, you were perfect! Also when he took off the autotune in this video I was shocked because it was perfectly in-tune anyway, awesome job

@@velcro4836 Thanks! Yeah it's easy to whistle while chilling but considerably harder to 'record' a whistle in the mic since the mic (even with the pop filter) picks up a lot of air especially during highs and lows when you're trying to get it perfect. The fact that Tim chose my whistle is enough to tell me I was good enough. Fun fact: I once recorded an easier whistle (which came out perfect!) for a buyer who rejected the delivery because he thought it was not a natural human whistle and more like a pipe/flute 😂

Your whistling is fantastic. Great contribution to an amazing song.

GET THIS MAN SOME RECOGNITION!

That's a French horn😊

@@christiantaylor1495 … I don’t think you know what a synthesizer is

@@basebonkah8418that’s how u know the synth is good

Until you get sued... Always have Attorneys on DECK!

Alot of these creeps will sit and wait for you to blow up... even years, and then they drop that lawsuit on you for GRIP!

Getting a license to use a bit of music from a game (or even another artist for that matter) isn’t extremely hard for anyone. Just gotta buy it lol

Yeah, and de does it the right way - you can hear forty odd years of rock guitarists in his playing, but without plagiarism. Lovely stuff.

I agree. Not a huge market for widdly wank plingy plank playing.

honestly though. If whistling becomes a trend in music, this guy's set with his talent and connections

you mean Him Tenson

@@jakebakker7812 6:03 sashteneja "It took me about 5 hours", so he's getting $6/hour to whistle.

Yes, he's very lucky that he was paid $32 to contribute an important part of the main song of the new album of a famous band comprised of multi-millionaires in their 20s.

@@Kazzimirski what is this comment. the 32$ was set by the whistler, so he did it for 32$. its that simple

Hey King u forgot the James Bond

serious lack of K.K. Slider on this list...

Forgot johan Lenox

Not to forget Zyzz for all the flexes

u also forgot animal crossing

I think it was just the old model and musicians with weak egos who kept this sort of thing a dirty little secret. I’ve heard in particular of cases of session musicians being hired to come up with ideas for all sorts of massive bands and then obviously the bands themselves then go on to take all the credit. Polyphia is doing an amazing thing of opening up these sorts of processes.

I actually liked this aspect of him. That is a sign of respecting the effort other people have done in making this great song. This gesture itself made me like the band more in general. :)

@@ashleygreenaway6312 Its art in general... Art is sharing ideas and working to develope those ideas into something more than they were originally. Its when the mainstream music industry wants to act like they aren't ghost-writing and forging careers for people who otherwise have NO creative value in society.... Thats when people call it out.

He is a producer besides guitar player

I love how honest Tim is about everyone who participated.

all this production and effects and tricks, but they still manage to find a way to do it live as well. i mean its nuts that tim writes this stuff on the computer with effects and THEN learns how to play it on guitar. hes great

@@MellowJelly yeah man, i mean its like doing a bunch of complicated calculations in a calculator, obtain the answer, AND THEN doing on paper just because you're a badass mf

What daw is he using???

@@jioll1835 ableton live

But if " the amount of different artists that participated on this music alone " were to be applied to pop stars everyone would label them as " untalented and unoriginal "

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lVVf-X1Q2Qw.htmlsi=PWJGms8898mgFc5F Its remarkable to me how so many people have no idea that Tim is just bringing classical guitar into pop music. Hes doing nothing innovative. His guitar playstyle has been around for hundreds of years. It just never entered mainstream music.

How’s it a joke if he actually did it

@@TheGreenpig1 its just a very unexpected thing to learn and makes for a fun "do you know----" story to tell others, making it a nice joke to go with other templates.

Funniest joke I’ve heard in years.

@@whit3teajia901 How's it a joke though? What's the punchline?

@@AmySkribble The punchline is: “you see this absolutely amazing piece of music with tens of millions of listens with masterful production by the professionals of the professionals? Guess what, *one of the most iconic sections of such a profoundly thoughtful piece is mixed from a 32 dollar fiverr whistle* ” It’s the contrast between the unexpected creative-playfulness behind the curtains and the top quality of the song that makes it funny, considering how many thoughts were put into the song, no one would really expect parts of it to come from something so informal. Anyways that’s where I think the humor lies :D

Agreed.

game changer

That muted guitar/ arpeggio trick is amazingly helpful. He is a damn good producer

Yeah except for the fact that it was said by Tim of all people. Who called every guitarist but the ones in his band and Steve Vai dogshit.

So true, so inspiring! Love the Playing God Video, cool to see behind the scenes. Pure creativity

they are also both geniuses, though one is extremely psychopatchic and one is extremely cool

they both sound similar too lol

@@jjschneider8566 both half aisan

Because they are artists, not youtubers.

THIS COMMENT LIKE.. BLEW MY MIND. THEY REALLY ARE SIMILAR WTF? HALF ASIAN, GENIUSES IN THEIR FIELDS, DONT FORGET TO MENTION THEIR VOICES??

It breaks non. Dubstep producers like Chime, Au5, Kompany, and Virtual Riot show how they made tracks all the time.😊

@@christiantaylor1495 And they truly create some amazing tracks with the DAWs they use. Another EDM group that does this is Barely Alive, and man, they can create some massively disgusting sounds from Ableton. I always envision like MechaGodzilla destroying a city or fighting a Jaeger with that as the background music. Pretty damn awesome.

@@tripled4me Code Pandorum: just released a course showing how he made the Lovecraftian Horrors album

didn't thought of finding you here! awesome work :))

"this is basically a free masterclass", you are right. I can sense that Tim Henson is a very kind and honest person by default.

Timmy Hendrix is my new name for him

Timmy Hendrix. Fuck Yeah.

Don't forget the software, that's the most important part.

@@HashiAkitaPuppy It's certainly AN important part, but the output is nothing without the input :)

I had no idea his name was Timmy Hendrix, now it all makes sense.

SUPERFACTS.... Tim will go far!

this song always gives me nintendo/final fantasy vibes

what's the name of the section? is it from animal crossing?

@@is_lactose_tolerant That style of music is called Bossa Nova

@@SonGoku5363 Tim's hair gives me Final Fantasy vibes :D

Apparently, K.K. Slider walked so Tim Henson could run 😂

Love seeing my favorite fitness channel being a fan of my favorite guitarist!

Didn't know you were a fan man ! That's crazy!!!!!!! @Eugene

Uncle I knew you played the guitar but I didn't know that our tastes overlapped so much- polyphia, him, fitness... Haha!

Hiya Coach :)

wat

Totally agree. This part always gives me chills!

seriously like wtf

Isn't that common sense by now?

Well, I guess these things are only natural, and I didn't even have to watch the vid to know Tim is influenced by others, he frequently mentions he has drilled a lot of stuff before, from Hendrix to classical music. Anyway, almost nobody seems to have the "balls" to ask these questions, so that we know a bit more about Tim: Here are my questions I would love to see answered: 1. Is Polyphia now almost entirely playing songs where every single 16-th note is hit by default as a total must, and as many 32-ths and sometimes even 64-ths are cramed into one beat as possible - to just flex on purpose? 2. Is it because they try to differentiate themselves from others, knowing a few, if any, would be able to repeat the same thing after them? Is it because they perceive this day and age being fast, and it is just a response to that? Or is it because they just want to be super-shredders? 3. Don't they think after one or two more albums with playing this super-fast, the continuous note hitting without any air and space will just become too much of an overkill - and get too boring? 4. Don't they plan to record at least ONE song with a bit more "space" in it? I mean, I know I am Gen X and this are new gen gentlemen, but still - here's a concert take by Henson (recorded when he was even years younger) - and played a beutiful solo with MUCH MORE SPACE in-between notes, and more headroom, than the super-tight, super compressed, super crammed style he prefers to play now (my generation would call this old Henson's solo FUSION btw.): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FyGYqc_N-js.html 5. It seems that people are just afraid to ask Tim what many would like to know, I believe. I don't want to get offensive in any way, but I have to ask this - why does Tim like so many feminine elements around him, starting with his clothing, through pink amp sims, to his hair style? Is it because his mother has had a great influence on him? My first thought was Tim is one of those guys who use female or even plural pronouns - but no, he seems to identify himself purely as male. So, WHAT is the influence behind this feminine styling of his? And, what does his girlfriend say about it? I am literally curious to know the answers. Thx

You are correct.

Future of guitar playing as we know it

Agreed

Shokran, jason richardson, pretty similar.

amen brother

Please God 🙏 please let there be a full version of this song

Right? You're basically transposing what the computer program created onto guitar but at a ridiculous speed. He could have just let the computer fill that in, but to see he took the time to transpose it on guitar shows his dedication.

Must be sad being u
