  • These guys are only this good and sound like they are literally born with legendary talent. But no, they got this good from just practicing their asses off since they were little kids, tim and scott kids when they were little played instruments at very young age. I think Clay bass also played it for long time too since he was little. Clay bass started on guitar first then learned bass guitar after for polyphia. I think Clay drummer was only one who didn't stared drumming since he was little. I'm not too sure on it but he did say he was drummer in marching band when he was in high school though, so hes at least teenager started out drumming.

    Honestly playing since they were 5 years old and practicing so much, they got at least 100,000+ hours of practice, thats around 11+ years of playtime total and they are all 30-35 age so def checks out with amount of practicing hours.

  • I watched a Tim Henson interview where he says that he writes all his music on the keyboard and then just transfers it over to guitar.

  • 'You're only as good as your drummer'…
    Ringo is the happiest he's ever been right now.

  • Can confirm, at a live show they still sound on par. They delivered a sonically perfect virtuosic performance of every song I wanted to hear.

  • Really great reaction, I was glad you saw the live version after wondering if they could play it. Obviously these years later you'll probably know the virtuoso that Tim and Scott have become and their immaculate playing and new styles, especially with Tims multi right hand picks(I'm not a musician you'll know what I mean)
    Its going to be interesting to see how it affects music, because right now social media is abuzz with attempts to play like Tim lol, that has a huge effect on how music is shaped for the coming generation of new players

  • I just don't know how Tim Henson got THAT good THAT young. And how his style is THAT original. It really seems inhuman.

  • Tim said that he does, in fact, compose and plan on a computer first, and then learns how to play the composition afterward. Amazing!

  • Playing to a click is fucking awesome, it lets you play around with your phrasing and just groove AROUND the click and if everyone knows what they're doing its the best shit ever. I play drums and guitar, 30 years experience, I love the click.

    People (dumb ones) think its like the same as quantizing or some shit, its not even remotely similar.

  • The scene you kept repeating that needed a slow down, his hands looks so robotic!

  • I think the live sounds good, but the recording is better. Now that you bring it up, it does sound artificial and impossibly synced…the timing is too perfect. That said I watched some of Tim’s videos and he is clearly a great guitar player and is absolutely is able to play live though will admit he plays slightly differently as some parts are too difficult. Either way, great band and so refreshing to my ears.

  • Polyhpia is basically studio production type music (trap and things like that, mixed with the highest expression of math rock, then you add a bunch of classical and flamenco stylings, get your blues and jazz chords in there, and then throw in a bunch of rock and metal playing experience on top of it. They dont really even have a genre at this point. ive never heard anything that sounds like polyphia before. I cant describe it with any other term than just "Good Music." Its well written, understandable even if you dont understand music theory, and it still has that unapologetic f u attitude from rock, but its just lower case, and in cursive.

    I just spent about five hours learning like the first 20 bars of playing god. its so hard to wrap your head around some of what he does. its just combinations of things ive never done before. Im honestly terrified to try the tapping stuff he's written.

  • Clay’s bass tone is what made me fall in love with the band most of all!

  • Your videos are very engaging. This was a really good piece to dissect.
    G.O.A.T. sounds like the soundtrack to my dark dreams. Kind of like the movies The Cell or Dreamscape.

    I'm kind of surprised you haven't done a video on PLINI. the instrumentals Manmade Cities and Every Piece Matters are ones I would recommend.

    Also, on the other end of the musical guitar spectrum I would point you to Ottmar Liebert and Luna Negra.

    Cheers, from Las Vegas.

    God never created
    Aam and" Steve "
    The problem lies
    In the three
    Sin
    Is a terrible thing
    But I'm not saying
    I'm better than " him "
    All have sinned
    And needed grace
    Whether it was for" him "
    When he was created Eve
    My sin isn't or wasn't
    Less of a disgrace
    But I found my JESUS
    Many years ago
    As LORD and SAVIOUR
    With GOD'S grace
    Now I pray
    For all the " Steve's " out there
    There is a place
    Called Calvary
    Everyone must repent
    Whether good or bad
    I will judge you Steve
    But righteously
    According to His will
    In the Holy Book
    Called the Bible
    As I will judge my sin accordingly
    The fact of the matter
    We all have sinned
    And are in need of a Redeemer
    And needed God's grace
    Which was provided in Jesus Christ
    Hell is real
    For those who don't know
    Repentance
    Part of saving grace
    Praising God
    All my life
    Thank you Jesus
    For your precious blood
    And the Holy Spirit
    Convicting me
    So "Steve "
    Weren't you created by God
    As Eve?
