We’re diving in on Polyphia’s guitar tone from the song G.O.A.T. This is definitely one of the hardest riffs I’ve ever had to learn (and it’s still not 100% there). A like for the months of effort would be greatly appreciated!

How can you teach a guitar tone if you don't say what amp, settings and pedals to use?
Wow! This sounds mean when slowed down a bit???? Good job

Chat gpt answer for ableton stock plugins:
Achieving the exact guitar tone of a song can be quite involved, but I can give you a starting point. Tim Henson's tone on "GOAT" by Polyphia is characterized by a clean and compressed sound with some reverb, delay, and a bit of modulation to add dimension. Here's a basic guide on how you can approximate that tone using Ableton and a Fender Stratocaster:
Interface and Clean Tone:
First, ensure that you're connecting your Stratocaster to your computer through a good quality audio interface. Set your Strat's pickup selector to the position that gives you the sound closest to "GOAT" to start with.
In Ableton, create a new audio track and arm it for recording.
Audio Effects Rack:
On the audio track, insert an Audio Effects Rack. This will allow you to chain multiple effects and tweak them simultaneously.
Compressor:
Insert a compressor at the beginning of your chain. Set a relatively fast attack and a medium release. This will help in evening out the dynamics.
Adjust the threshold to achieve a moderate amount of gain reduction, maybe around -3dB to -5dB.
EQ Eight:
Use Ableton's EQ Eight to shape the tone. Cut some of the very low frequencies (below 80Hz) and boost a bit in the high mids for clarity.
Amp and Cabinet:
If you have Ableton Live Suite, you can use the built-in Amp and Cabinet effects. Choose a clean amp setting. Adjust the gain so you have a pristine, clean sound.
Pair it with the Cabinet effect, selecting a cabinet that complements the tone you're going for.
Reverb:
Insert a reverb after the Cabinet effect. Choose a Hall or Room algorithm, depending on your preference. Adjust the decay time to be relatively short, and reduce the wet signal so that the reverb is subtle but noticeable.
Delay:
Add a simple delay after the reverb. Set the feedback to a moderate amount and adjust the delay time to taste. Again, make sure the wet signal is set so that the delay adds dimension without being overpowering.
Chorus (Optional):
If you feel the sound is still lacking some of the spatial character of the original, try adding a subtle chorus effect to the chain. This will add some modulation and depth to the sound.
Tuning:
Ensure your guitar is well-tuned. It might be a simple point, but tuning plays a crucial role in achieving the desired sound.
Playing Technique:
Tim Henson has a specific playing style, incorporating elements of slap, fingerstyle, and hybrid picking. Pay attention to how you pick or pluck the strings.
Remember, while the above can get you close, the exact tone also depends on the specific gear used, the recording environment, post-production, and mastering. This guide should give you a starting point. Adjust and tweak the settings to your preference and environment until you're satisfied.
sounds just like strat
Watch the intro in 1.25 playback speed and it's the speed of the actual song ????
When Tim Henson demonstrates how to play GOAT it sounds like he has way more bass, and a lot less overdrive, in his tone.

Will it work on a tele
Wtf do you mean "even with" a strat? They use single coil pickups ????
Thanks so very much for all the useful info and especially for the profile! It's all extremely appreciated! Subscribed!
bravo luca
love that tone boss!
Lol even with a strat??? They have single coils all over their sound, what do you think the talman essentially is in Yas
I see you were charging your apple watch during this video. I have the same tan line and indent on my wrist lol
The Boss gt-1doed a great job of the tone, compressor and chorus with some reverb and it’s perfect
You didn't mention what kind of overdrive should we use, but I'm guessing either a Klon Centaur's (copy) type of circuit, or maybe a Boss Blues Driver (copy) type of circuit.
If you have a double humbucker guitar, you can still use the "Peter Green's wiring trick", by just unscrewing, and re-screwing your neck pickup in the opposite direction (with the magnetic poles reversed), so, when you switch use the middle position in your toggle, it will sound out of phase.
2:23 Oh that's why. I was turning up the gain on my amp and it still sounded like crap lol
CHEAP* for a similar polyopia tone I use a compressor to a klon clone high output low drive and mid presence into a chorus with low depth into a sonicake cry baby with high presence and low sensitivity (for some slow filtering and getting a smooooooth tone) then into a slight hall verb! Been my tone for months and also reminds me of intervals.
Thanks
