#Polyphia #PlayingGod
Props to Polyphia for making such playable songs for beginners to practice with.
Ikr, not even a single sweat smh
general grievous couldn't even play this shit lol
Been playing for 2 years. I Would need a year to learn the first 8 bars, if I’m lucky 😅
For the Bass parts you must mean :D
learned this in a minute no sweat
Tim Henson is the most realistic portrayal of an anime character playing guitar I’ve ever seen
you just copypasted a comment from ITOguitarbatch, didn't you?
Hey! Did you know God is three in one!? The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit! Bless them! Jesus died for our sins, rose from the dead, and gives salvation to everyone who believes in him and follows his commandants! Have a blessed day, everyone! ❤
Have you never heard of Ichika Nito?
@@blabivix look at seiji igusa, hes sexy af and amazing at his style
I only looked at the comments to see if anyone had said this
I was hesitating between learning to play guitar, bass or drums..I was searching music video to help me taking a decision..finally Polyphia made me play flute
Underrated comment
@@dakusch don't know 'bout that, i personally would have gone full triangle comitment, you never know what next level could be on any instrument it seems!
😂
One time, at band camp…..
Tambourine
this band feels like a secret boss after the final boss that you're not high enough level for
the impossible to beat ones
No it feels like anime ps1 game main menu music
That's like Malenia
polyphia songs literally _are_ the malenia of guitar songs
through the fire and flames after devil went down to georgia be like
Tim Henson's journey to becoming a Kingdom Hearts character has progressed faster than I had anticipated.
I want to low-key become a Kingdom Hearts character after reading this too
I think Tim's look goes deeper than trying to become a lving, guitar-wielding Sora. But it is a journey. Hope he reaches his end of the rainbow.
Mr. Burns: ...Excellent..
hahahahaha same here hahahahaha
Our lesbian has been enlightened
Thank you polyphia for making easy songs to play for guitar beginners
Easy.. just according to guitar gods.
@@maxenloteyrosarcasm
I agree... We all appreciate new easy songs to learn to WoW our ladies
HA!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To see Timothée Chalamet, Captain jack Sparrow, jesus and santa claus play together is the wildest thing i have ever witnessed
This would be a good movie..
I love how much this song pretty abruptly changes between "I am a sad and cruel lonely Texan frontiersman" to the hardest The Weather Channel background music 😂
Look , i could make like 5 different genre songs out of this one like rn
Oh man, I love the weather channel part of the song, so cerebrally pleasing.
@@GanymedeJupiterJazz Beat for best Hip Hop song ever
That bit reminds me so much of the chocobo theme song lol
Never seen nylon stringed guitars go so hard
Have you heard romance d'amor
Search for Yngwie Malmsteen acoustic guitar solo
@@DioHenda romance damour is for kids listen to gran jota, capricho arabe or caprice 24 by way lee or maybe something by villa-lobos
@@maxzapom I was kinda joking because it's like the most famous classical guitar piece but thanks for the suggestion. Will search it later
My dude, nylon stringed guitars go way harder than this
Just bought my guitar last night. This song truly sets realistic expectations of what I want to learn first.
Aaaaarrggghhh paiiiinnn the sarcasm...
Absolutely, there's a kid named Marcin who plays realistically also. And if you end up mastering all that material there's a guy named Tommy Emmanuel.... possibly even more realistic starting material than this band. I started looking into playing Classical Gas and realized I'd have a better chance performing brain surgery with a plastic butter knife.
Hm playing for about 3 months now. My teacher transcribes songs and I learn them. Considering to suggest this. Let's see if he is capable to create an easy to learn version of this. :D
I would suggest to learn smells like teen spirit first then you’re good to go to cover this
Remember when I listened to Bream and thought that I might be able to play this in 3 years or so. A year later, when I got quite some better, I realized how good he was, so I thought 5 years. And a little later: never :-)
Polyphia has a keen talent on making riffs/patterns that are super energetic / frenetic sounding, but then when you combine everything together it becomes super chill.
Nice summary. Agreed.
Quite possibly the best three minutes 23 seconds ever spent listening to something. 62 years old and I am **obsessed** with the profound beauty of this piece, probably the best thing ever my 13 yr old grandson has turned me onto (thus far). Can't wait to see them live one day (many have said Polyphia live is absolutely the Real Deal. I believe it!)
You are correct sir. They are absolutely The Real Deal. I haven't been so excited to see a guitarist (Tim Henson) play live in front of me since having Eddie Van Halen blow me away in the 10th row at the US Festival in '83. The whole band will just knock you out live.
@@traviesoarcefan3063 Please don't compare Tim with EVH; they are as far apart, skill-wise, as the East is from the West. EVH was a virtuoso musician and guitarist that influenced countless guitarists and single-handedly, changed rock music. Tim just practices, a LOT, but has NO musical ability, whatsoever. If you want to hear a guy practicing, Tim is your guy.
@ezze7540 Sorry but you didn't read my comment correctly. I didn't compare anybody to anybody. What I was talking about was my personal enjoyment level at their live performances, nothing else. So relax, Eddie, Ace Frehley and Steve Jones will always be my heroes in this order. Three very different people and players. Long live Rock n Roll, be it dead or alive!!!
@@traviesoarcefan3063 Thanks for clarifying. Very rarely does a musician make a lasting cultural impact. As far as I am aware (for guitar) there was only Django Reinhardt, Lester William Polsfus, Jimi Hendrix, and Eddie Van Halen. Sure, it's debatable as to who plays better but, overall, the above guitarists were so novel and brought so much to the art of guitar, they left a lasting and indelible influence on the art-form. Tim Henson is just one of thousands of novelty acts.
Hands down my all time favourite flamenco-trap-jazz song
you deserve a medal 😂
I even dare to say it's the only one of this style you've ever heard.
YES
also, don't forget about the bossa nova at 1:40
@@JoaoOliveira-qb6vm Doesn't make OP's statement any less true lol
Their lead vocalist is insane
Yeah, his ultrasonic voice is soo soothing
They have lyrics for this song on their Spotify so I thought there was an error lol
Has a real unique voice, doesn’t he?
What vocal?!?!?
If their are lyrics then that means they are waiting for someone who thinks they can handle the task and post a cover with their vocals and I guess if they like it they'll hit you up from what if seen soo far they enjoy when people do that
I love how they handle their guitars. So delicately and chilled.
6 months ago I played this song for my grandma on guitar. I failed numerous times because I didn't practice enough. Two weeks later she died. However before she died she made me promise her that I would learn how to play it correctly. Six months later and I now can. I love you grandma rip. Edit: thank all of you for the support it really does mean a lot to me.
RIP Stay strong, man
@@mc_nitzan thanks that really means a lot
@@spicybarf Of course
Rip your grandma. She's proud of ya for continuing your playing, I'm sure of it
rip ur a legend
It's interesting because they look like they're going to shred some death metal or something and it's the most chill music ever.
Maybe 30 seconds of this song is "chill".
@BluebellBeatnick- Acoustic Alchemy did it 35 years ago. It’s boring. It has no surprises.
They ain’t plugged in. It’s a studio recording.
@@Bob-jl2oe Judging by your comment history on this channel your ego must be shattered over the fact that you'll never achieve what these guys have. Practice more Bob :)
@@Bob-jl2oe true that. the sound is a little overproduced in the studio as well. would be nice to actually hear the drums and guitars without it being cleaned up so much. you can really tell with the drums. it's bad when compared to the version with less editing: kzhead.info/sun/ZqiYgMyvb5uYbIE/bejne.html - "Polyphia - Playing God (Drum Playthrough)" played by the drummer for Polyphia. Seems like a band that weebs or edgy teens would like a lot though.
There are songs that make me say, "ok, I'm not a great guitarist". But this... makes me say "I'm not even that great at listening to music". Been on repeat for days, still can't get enough.
I really like Russel Lissack as a guitarist
Funniest comment
That's the spirit being able to feel thaht is somehting imagine imagining all of this beautiful chaos I mean thx to full me with this beautiful madness
I've been listening to this song since its release and I listen at least 3 times a day. There are a lot of days where it is probably 7-8 times.

Me too! As someone who has sang on stage before, I can confirm that this song is EXTREMELY hard. Especially when it's the part that goes ". "!
Polyphia really went and dropped one of the hardest jams of all time, and simultaneously the chillest soundtrack for a Super Mario game.
The second half reminded me of Gran Turismo menus. But yeah, I head a bit of Mario kart in the chill second half.
Wait this is for a super mario game???

Says who 👀
Woah marcin 🎸
We need a collab, Marcin. Pretty please. 😁
says the acoustic guitar god himself
Their drummer is fucking incredible. Those fills are insane
slowly the percussion has become my favorite part of this band. But really, many of the instruments are percussive in nature in these songs, not only the drums. im stoned
Hes gotta love it too having what is essentially a solo to play
It's aquaman what did you expect.
@@GonzoDonzo exactly, it's what a drummer thinks about doing when they think about sitting at the throne.
At the end of Tim's "Making of..." kzhead.info/sun/lpmScdKHaKNpfmg/bejne.html video he says... "...The Clays, who have the very difficult job of translating beats into playable bass and drum parts." This is one of those cases where the music is made electronically first, and THEN they have to figure out how to actually play it with physical instruments and human hands. As a side note, the clip of Tim playing a section after explaining his difficulty in "figuring out how to even play it", is the most effort I've seen him put into playing. I mean; he is incredibly gifted. I understand that he often just makes it LOOK effortless. He is always doing work. But it looks like even HE struggles a bit on this part.
Not gonna lie, the song is easy to learn if you know basics of the guitar, I learned this song in about 2 hours, And then I woke up.
lol
lmaooo
I love when you find those bands that play exactly how you feel
holy moly, what a comment! 100% agree

This is a perfect morning time jam to get your vibes right for the day. This song is like ice cream, you can’t frown or be unhappy while enjoying it.
I mean some people who are lactose intolerant frown after but ik what you mean!
If you can detect any emotion in this "jam" you must have different emotions than most humans. I heard a lot of ego stroking in various keys.
The guitarists get most of the attention but the drummer is also incredible.
The way the drummer and bassist were so in sync is what really had me hooked
Each member of the band is incredible

@@gorsedhI believe they’re referring to the fact that the guitarists get a lot of the attention if I’m correct however I may not be
@@donuttttttt Maybe i guess but still i find it so hard to understand why one should make such comments. Polyphia but also other bands like animals as leaders) comment sections get spammed with "omg x is so underrated". The big point of these bands is that they are perfectly well crafted and oiled machines in which each component brings something to the table and everybody who has been listening to music for more than one day can hear the styles and the inputs of each great musician. I do not understand why you cannot give praise to one of them without belittleling the other ones. I do not like this approach, what should i infer from a "drummer is underrated" comment, that the bassist and the guitarist are ass?
@@gorsedh You make some great points, and after looking at some other videos I think the drummer of this band is actually rated very well, I've seen many comments praising him
@@donuttttttt thanks dude :)
It's amazing how the guitars make them sing.
As much as I like their mastery over their respective instruments, I also love the Jazz style music, you never know where the music will flow, and you will end up feeling pleasantly surprised 🌈✨👑
Thank you Polyphia for making songs that is easy to learn for a guitar aspirant like me
bro 💀
Yes i truly find this band one that makes beginner guitarists friendly songs
Me too! I do it ev'ry morning 10 min before i get up.
So easy for bass players💀
Once I've mastered all of polyphia's songs I think I'll be ready to try and play those incredibly difficult Nirvana riffs
Polyphia bass player deserves hella credit. He sets the songs off and gives them a pop or even hip hop feel with how basic and tight he keeps the bass line. I feel like if he shredded too hard they would sound like just another prog band
*THIS*
Which, inevitably creates an even more prog feel to their music. The concepts of prog are taken much further with polyphia, yet still remain. Beautiful stuff.
It's the drummer who sets everything up. The drummer is literally controling every single change in rythm and synchronizing everything.
Yeah it's really interesting cause it would also work with a complex high brow approach. But this heavy pocket approach is such a vibe and makes it all feel contemporary.
Yall need to stop with this. Each and every single one of the band members deserves equal credit. It's not a band without teamwork.
I am typing an essay and this song increased my efficiency, just from my fingers trying to keep up with the beat. I'm in love. Thank you Polyphia!
This is the best song I’ve ever heard . This is like a living breathing sophisticated painting . Idk how they came up with this but this amazing yo 😂😂😂
I honestly thought I would never be able to play this on guitar 🎸... And here we are, 2 months later, I was right!
Lol
*2 DECADES later
inspirational
you really are an inspiration keep up the good work
It's fun seeing people using borderline exactly the same comment as someone else from a different video. On Polyphia's G.O.A.T. music video, a comment by Moktan Karan from a year ago. "I honestly thought I would never be able to play this on guitar 🎸. And here we are, 2 years later, I was right"
How they pan the tracks is amazing. Gives me pleasant chills
That little switch up there at 1:11 drives me crazy. It’s so good.
Yeah that pause is 🤌

Clay has such a killer presence with that bass. Very unique, incredible vibe like dude’s in his own world on stage.
its incredible because he has such a goofy personality in their content outside of music, then he picks up the bass, enters the zone and becomes an entirely different person
i met him one night just happened to pass him as he was hopping off the tour bus, they were playing in Trees in Deep Ellum and had no idea lol
He doesn't overplay either. His parts are very tasteful and he fills out the sound perfectly.

Do not forget the visuals!
zack cervini!
@An Elephant i agree
Agreed man! It’s not easy to get Trap beats and Flamenco to fit and sit nicely together. Lots of stuff going on in this track. It’s amazing.
This bands skill is immaculate
I’m here after the Rick Beato’s interview of Dirty Loops! How could I missed this so long? This is amazing!
Can we talk about how the video puts the icing on the cake, making this a masterpiece? The comfortable body language of them jamming in the godly mansion with no focus on anything but the feeling in the room is transcending. I’m no musician, I’m a videographer, but I know this is the same feeling you get when everything goes right as music is being played in the room
_"Can we talk about how the video puts the icing on the cake, making this a masterpiece?"_ In principle, sure, I'd love to, but I got a lump in my throat and the talking part is a bit hard. Can we just agree that you talk and I nod? ;) You're doing a great job :) Okay, forget it I'll talk. Yes, exactly. And I'm not a videographer but a musician and physics enthusiast and I love to dance and when I look at a video like this one I can't help but see all of it come together. To me it's all music, the visuals, the passion, the location, the angles, the clothing changes and choices. This is what my mind does when I sit in the sun and see a butterfly hopping from flower to flower, so I might be a bit weird, but really, rhythm is everywhere, from the light waves to the neutrons and the moving air and everything is music in that sense and we all dance to the tunes of the universe.
Yea I’m over here drumming and like whoa that drop in the film after his epic fill on the toms was 1 hell of a lick! Seen them twice in venues they don’t move a lot and now tickets are like $$ but still worth it
Yes music satisfies a language most didn’t know how to speak! However all the senses play into our experiences and memories are tied to that so that’s why these things make us have frisson. I think visually the videographers knew how to clip their music well to fit their following and also how to portray maybe time signatures or dynamic ques to music vs Visual cues 🎉 I was missing the instrumental genres in main stream but now this is pop??
I liked the video till the end. The close up of the painting was bleh. Meaning no disrespect with these words, just my observation.
@@barbarawedan6068 the painting push in did seem a bit off to me

Inspiration for practice guitar ❎ Inspiration for quit playing guitar ✅
The first listen, you hear the guitars. The second listen, you trully notice the drums.
This is gonna sound weird, but I think the drummer is what actually ties this band together to sound as good as they are. I mean, yes of course, the guitarists are mad talented, but the drummer is the legit glue.
So true, the layers - the planning that must have gone into this - the synergy and attention to detai, the bass! the drummer! Who was the architect? It has the feeling of the full Team and there is power in that - regardless of who defined or created the initial riffs
@@jjnix2 It does not sound weird at all tbh, any musician knows that no matter how talented you are the beat is the main soul of the song. The tighter your drummer plays, the tighter the band sounds. And Clay is always spot on, he's so good that even non-musicians highlight the drums constantly.
As a drummer... I... I don't even know what happened. My god.
I rly love Tim as guitar player however I noticed those sick drums first right after he started playing
The drummer is in line with some of the best prog drummers ever. Super clean and technical
🤨lets see him drill some fuck im dead, or decomposing serenity.
Absolutely🎉
They should get rid of the bassist though. Incorporate Charles Berthoud or someone alike. Pick on a bass? C'mon.
Just saw them preform, his stamina on stage was absolutely mind blowing. The whole group put on a serious performance
@@jaumeprimerelhipsterWhat's wrong with the pick on a bass? It's like using fingers or pick or hybrid on guitar. It's not right or wrong just different technique. At least to me
I am not a musician other than the music in my hands when I paint. I open new neural pathways in my mind painting to Polyphia. All timelines, all genres, those structures in my mind all get stretched and let go, opening up new possibilities. Thank you. I am what is visually considered an old woman and no I am not presently high.
This song is literally Art. It’s like an expensive luxurious painting came to life
The best part about polyphia is their lack of concern for "convention." They take the best parts of some aspects of genres (like the trap bass and percussion) and fuse it with very technical guitar, and then mix in break downs and smooth bridge transitions. Tim is a genius, Scottie is a genius. These guys have a distinct sound that no one else quite has. Love this band from the moment I heard the first song.
you literally just described a stylized math rock song, the genre already exists
@@yomomomom4495 yes but I think what he meant is very few people can actually execute it in a way that is consumable for the average joe
I heard a touch of flamenco or smth at the beginning, threw me off but it's cool
@@dafiarsya lol wut they were literally just being I am very smart throwing in words that make him look like he knows what he’s talking about but is just trying to show off. He said nothing about other people or enjoyment for others
what
So yea, this is today's "Guitar Trio" vibe with prog/trap/drum crrazyness that is going to send Polyphia into a whole new world and fanbasae is what I think!
Do a reaction to this song please
This is our story and we're sticking to it, aloha!
EY ALRIGHT
Not to mention the Jazz vocabulary being used; this is going to be absolutely fantastic!
Geebs!!!!
There's so much attention payed to Henson, but the real brilliance in this song are the drums!
My man introed Polyphia to me and oh such gems can’t be missed out, eargasmic each time each tracks, lovin’ it!
One of my favorite parts of any Polyphia video is that everyone looks so incredibly happy to be playing music that they love. Everyone's skill is god-tier, but the passion really makes it.
This is simply outstanding, but the more I listen to your songs, the more my guitar playing sounds like a fucking Kazoo
The teaser seemed easy, and then Scott start fucking flexing on all of us, time to learn an impossible riff again
I feel ya man! 😂
@Skou Lou Boy you gotta be brave to share this under a Polyphia song 💀
FR, I have donated all of my guitars to science and weep at the thought of ever picking up another one ever again.
Yup... this is called 'The Polyphia Effect' and effects over 90% of their listeners... it's both a blessing & a curse.
came for ther guitar, stayed for the drums! these guys are insane hah!
Can't stop coming back to this masterpiece.
Enjoyed recording the whistle for this! Absolutely amazing song, Tim and team! 🙌🏼
You were awesome!
You still on fiver recording whistles?
You're THE REAL MVP
@@quiettraveller3287 Yep!
Good job dude!
Tim is truly a visionary. To go from making The Muppets to this... mind-blowing.
Looks like I'm only the eighth boomer to get this joke.
Bro! Nice one!
Lol
Jim and Tim are both visionaries in their chosen field.
@@patricklow5652 can you explain the joke to a mere zoomer that I am?
