Man picked out the bass notes, and found a very common chord progression. He knows his scales, chords and arpeggios. He's got a decent ear and good guitar knowledge. Anyone who thinks this is fake is obviously wrong. Ive also learnt how to play this song, and he is playing it completely differently, barely similar. There are a couple points that i can point out which prove it being genuine. One of which is that he couldnt guess the use of open strings and just used the ones in the chord shape. Proof he is using his knowledge and hasn't learnt it before. Good job man 👍
I've been playing guitar for 5 months now and now I can definitely play a newly listened song on the first 2 strings. Earlier I used to think that it's impossible but it ain't. I know after a year I will be able to do it with chords and all the fingers. I'm self taught so this is gonna be a bit difficult for me.
Well considering he didnt learn this in 60 seconds, I think learning the song in 20 minutes is impossible. Even the best of the best guitar players cant just learn as complex of a song as this in such short time.
I’m an educated guitarist and pretty good learning songs by ear too, but the fishy thing here is that he is acting like he has never heard the song. Memorizing in seconds in this context melodies so particular and fast with different techniques and harmonics is other thing. He is good but not that good. He could do a real time videos for this and could be much more fun. He practiced it before at least for 10-15 mins and probably heard it before couple of times at least
Guys as a guitarist... this is perfectly possible, there are multiple ways to play the same thing, using the chord shape at the right place and simple hear and play. Ofcourse, it comes with experience... It's complicated to grasp for beginners but not that hard.... completely true
It would be one thing if he played note for note, position for position, but he didn’t. He was able to hear and outline a i-VI-V progression using completely different chord positions and licks than Tim. Coming from a guitarist this seems completely genuine for a first listen, good understanding of song structure 🤘
Exactly brooo i don’t know if this video is legit but is definitely possible. If you are experienced guitarist you can do it. The really difficult part is doing it note for note and with the same positions as tim. The way he played it its not as tim does it so it seems legit to pick the first part as he did it if you have good ears and know your way around the fret board.
@@jayvee4321he literaly got the fret wrong, on the original riff he plays the tenth, while he is playing the seventh. Tim plays open E and 10th on the A string, so no, he got it wrong.
@@jayvee4321 They don't use crazy fret positions. They are heavily music theory based but chords are just notes played together to create harmony. When you've been playing for a while it gets easier to pick on the seperate notes to create harmonies. I still think this video is fake, but it is still definitely possible.
The thing that bothers me is that he "knows polyphia" but doesnt hasnt heard his song before, unless hes only heard of goat or hasnt kept up to any guitar on the internet at all since this album dropped, the likelihood of him never having heard playing god is insanely low
It's duable, just suspicious the way he does it. Let me explain, I've got a friend who can do it, of course not in 60 seconds, you give him a couple of minutes of listening (usualy 2 or 3 ) and he can replicate a very similar sound. The thing i noticed on this guy is that when he listens for the first time, he picks some chords that sound nothing like in the song, and then moves on with no correction, when he starts the song all over, the intro is now similar to the song. Like it was trained, kinda sus bro, my opinion. My friend corrected himself, he needs to hear the good note then moves on.
It’s very plausible for him to have learned what he learned in 60 seconds. Lots of arpeggios and harmonics make it clear where to play them. With the right ears and understanding of fretboard you can figure out those positions quickly enough to sound the way he did.
so you believe that this guy tries 5 notes to find the root of the first chord but nails a riff 'he just heard' immediately. this is bad acting. and people like you make him want to post more while others quit guitar based on a lie
@@mikeoxlong6129 someone sounds butthurt. I've seen you commenting in these videos, trying to do justice for this guy. it's obvious that your knowledge of guitar and music is poor
@@mudababy7896 Yes. He tries 5 notes because he doesn't have perfect pitch, but he has great relative pitch. Once he has grounded him self in some sort of tonic or root note, he can quite easily find the other notes based on relative pitch. He can hear and find other scale degrees and chords based on the key he hears. And he's probably had a lot of training/experience in listening to music and internalizing it quickly so that he can create short term memory of it, sing it, and make sense of the notes. It's called transcribing/dictation. He can keep posting more, and others can just not watch his videos. I play guitar too, and many other guitarists are better than me.

someone really said it would take 30 min learning that. lets assume its fake but it would NOT take 30 min to learn what he played jeez. just tell me that youve never played guitar before bruh instead of making up random stuff.
to all the beginners, sure some people have the talent of playing by ear, but there is a small chance you could learn a complex song like this by ear in 60 seconds unless you have played for a while and know the riff don’t give up keep working hard!!! ♥️💙
Well its nit just by ear, 80% of this is theory, pattern recognition and how sounds relate to the instrument, high level of music understanding yes, but if you think logically about it anyone can learn to do this with a few years of practice and studying
So you can post the same comment? Lol I've been playing guitar 15 years and I've met plenty of people who are better than me. This isn't wildly impressive.
@@rockyevans1584 actually on the contrary, you can’t see how he would do this because you HAVEN’T been playing so long, or at all for that matter. If you know how a guitar works, and moreover how music works, you would know exactly what you were watching him do in the video. He found the root, felt some of the rest of the scale and from there he knows he’s in the right place, it’s just about hitting the right notes which is the easy part.
He hasnt practiced it. Anyone who knows how to play the song, knows he hasnt read the tabs. And anyone who knows how to play guitar by ear knows this is possible.
Lol so many people calling this fake but it’s really not hard he just has a good ear. This song at the very start uses something called harmonics which is something you only get on the 5th 7th and 12th fret and it’s pretty easy to tell which one they’re using. As you can see at the beginning he walked up chromatically to find the key and beyond that it’s just fills and licks between every bit which are easy to hear just by knowing your scales and being an experienced guitarist. People keep saying “just knows where to put his fingers” no crap bruh you’d think you’d be able having years of practice on the instrument
And you do?? 😂 I've been a musician for 12 years playing guitar piano oud and bass and this is fake as fuck And he played 0 notes correctly minus the 3 natural harmonics
Didn’t really play it right and no one believes anyone could ever play this song correctly after hearing it after 60 seconds anyway. He makes these and tricks people into believing he’s actually learning the song in these videos. He seems like a good guitarist and he may have learnt the songs by ear but that’s not what he’s doing in these videos.
Everyone hating must be trolling it's obvious this is his first time trying to play by ear, every chord progression is wrong but it's an excellent first attempt, future The Dooo right here
You should probably not say anything negative about someone unless you actually know. See him play for real quick at least once and you would know that he is like a virtuoso. He is a master at guitar.
@@bepohal 22 years my ass, if you really play guitar for years you would know that this is not fake. I guess everyone now can become a "decade proffesional guitarist" 😂, you are showing your insecurities.
Brother, love the playing but you know you can’t figure something out like that in 60 seconds. Polyphia involves complex hybrid picking layered with harmonics, it takes time to work all that out.
This song actually isn’t that hard. All it is, is just a little bit of music theory and knowing your fretboard (which if you’ve been playing for more than 5 years you most likely know which frets/notes work together
he doesnt play the full song for a reason, my guy. its just finding the tones, figuring out the first few chords, arpeggios and patterns. jfc, comments sections on youtube are a dead end of thought
Anything Polyphia is incredibly difficult if you’re a beginner and then again it’s difficult even with experience he did the best he could in 60 seconds especially learning from ear but he tried yes he failed but he tried and did the best he could if you don’t play you have no say but if you have played then you’d understand that just like me or him you’d probably fail too
while its defs possible to learn songs by ear like this, the thing that puts me off if you're that good at guitar you would have heard playing god before. This dude does the same thing for so many classic songs that EVERY guitar player knows. So acting like he's never heard them seems disingenuous.
Seems real to me and idkw ppl saying it's fake when this is 100% possible by ALOT of guitar players who actually train their ear and understand how to play by ear.
A real guitarist: it’s perfectly doable if you are an experienced guitarist Some random kids who want to be humorous: We should give him the Oscar award for his acting😅😅
The fact people automatically think this is fake just shows how overrated polyphia is. Don't get me wrong, I like some of their tunes. But they're just people who play music. With ear training and learning your fretboard this becomes much easier. I constantly doubt my own music ability and guitar skill, but this comment section has been the most unintentional ego boost I've ever received. Could I do this as fast as this guy? Hell no. But I've progressed enough to know this is very possible, and even this is miles away from the ceiling. The longer you play, the more stuff just clicks. Just keep playing
@@Jesusismysaviour. you dont understand the definition of talent then, just cause you know a bunch of songs (cause you put in the time) doesn't mean you're predisposed to learning an instrument.
Every none dedicated musician doesn’t seem to understand.. But the dedicated ones do.. There’s a very good chance this is real. He uses something called relative pitch. I’m 18 and I’ve been using it to figure out songs almost first try with knowing the key of the song. Relative pitch is where if you know one note.. let’s say C, and you hear another note, you can know what note that is or what notes those are just because you know the “root” note. Everything else with that song just has to do with theory knowledge, rhythm and time signatures, and technique. So don’t hate on him too fast! He’s clearly really good even if it was fake, but there’s a lot of evidence pointing to it not being fake.
Yes Theyll do anything for publicity stuff. Either good publicity or bad, still publicity. And this one is clearly faking it. The act like "its my first time... "
It is not only possible but far more common than you think for a highly experienced musician to be able to identify patterns in a piece of music well enough to play 4 seconds of a complicated riff half right after only 55 seconds of practice. MAYBE he's lying and he practiced this, but that would be sad because this is not that big of a flex. I personally know 3-5 people who could also do this.
I don't know this man or his capabilities however learning approximately 3 chords, arpeggiating them, and playing some harmonics is exactly what my guitar teacher does all the time when I show him new music to study. Certainly was in the realm of what he could do however I do understand why some people disagree . It's like accusing him of being on steroids and he's natty.
Its def not fake. This is very doable. Do I think this was done in only one take though? Probably not. But even if we assume he did 5-10 takes, that is still extremely impressive and realistic for a seasoned veteran.
I doubt it’s fake, he’s not playing it right. He’s just playing his version of how he heard it. There’s a lot of complex underlying notes that he couldn’t play, that’s why his version sounds different
As a musician I know this is doable. Get this part of the song in just a minute is totally possible and more common than you think. But this guy is capping so hard is impossible not to notice. First of all unless he has perfect pitch ( he obviously doesn’t) you would need to play at least 1 wrong note on the fretboard to compare it with the first note of the song, and then start getting the other notes with the relative pitch (identifying intervals between notes), and even like that you would be messing up one or two notes, unless you are extremely lucky ig, but nah this guy is just a joke
@@brickfather2222 i cant tell if youre stupid or what. tell me you have never picked a guitar in you LIFE without telling me LMAO. he was simply finding the first note he could hear. you can literally hear the key when you hear one note in context to the song. cmon like if you know what a key is im sure you know that what he did was literally what you do.
it may be fake but as far as i know this piece is more about the speed and coordination and not THAT hard. The chords and arpeggios aren't complicated. If you dominate velocity and harmonics, i think you can do it without any complications
people calling this fake, but this kind of pitch accuracy and aural skills is kind of in the business. Ive seen more impressive stuff. Like there was a guy in one of my classes who could get an entire 16 measures in 2 listens with rythmic and pitch accuracy. So people say this is fake to them, but idk man in my world this is average.
Learning music by ear and not by sight is a skill that takes years, but can be done. I’ve been learning songs this way for a decade now, I can’t do it in 60 seconds, but I’ll get the same in less than 5min.
@@chrisaaron7755 Dude, but just the way he found the harmonics... That first part just sounded suspicious for a lot. I have absolute pitch (I can identify the tone of a song just from hearing for it), but to find the exact notes in the exact sequence in a suppost single take video, while starting from the wrong scale (he played like if the song was in G major, since it is E minor harmonic i suppose)... all these points together just doesn't seem right to me
All the people in here saying its fake never touched a guitar, or they arent good at it.. Its not hard to do what he did.. He just put a lot of time in the guitar.. If you do so, its easy to find chords and tones by hearing a song.. he didnt get the right picking and chord positions wich makes me think its even more real.. The way he found out the harmonics that fast is also understandeble cuz thats pretty easy too.. so i bet its real.. (excuse me for bad spelling or grammar, im german)
To all those saying it’s fake, you all should check out another RUclips guitarist called Sungha Jung. He can easily arrange complete songs and he grasped the intro in around 2mins only. People don’t realise that ear training can easily make you a fucking legend but you need to put in the time and effort.
Alright, as fake as this seems, it’s not completely unrealistic. I have decent relative pitch and can find my way around the fretboard somewhat similarly, like it’s not some crazy impossible thing like everyone is making it out to be. With that being said, this video definitely seems fake lol
Ya no way man. I mean your getting down a lot of harmonics in that song and I have been playing 25 years Now and couldn’t nail those harmonics that fast. Hell john Mayer wouldn’t mail them that fast. I know you know how to play guitar well but you pretending to do it all by ear that fast and I am referring to mostly speed not the ear but that fast I’m just not buying it.
ok, i can see why everyone thinks he's lying. what he did id REALLY hard, but im.gonna assume he's been playing a very long time. ive been playing 6 years and i can relatively find where notes are, not as fast as this guy ofc, but i can see it being possible
I've been playing guitar like almost 15 years.. I've been doing a lot of street or cafe performance but I don't believe this is real, but I don't say it's fake thou, it's just my opinion
If you're not a guitarist you shouldn't be commenting that he doesn't have a good ear, you probably have no idea how hard or easy it is to pick it out by ear in under 60 seconds. He hasn't had time to try either, but just played it (he missed some flageolets in the end part, the rest is actually pretty close). And he also played at a speed very close to the original and even someone with perfect hearing usually cannot play what they hear, for the first time within 60 seconds, at the original speed.
I know before actually listening to rest of your video that you already know the song and have probably practiced a lot of it before. I know it because your acting is probably just as bad as mine.

someone really said it would take 30 min learning that. lets assume its fake but it would NOT take 30 min to learn what he played jeez. just tell me that youve never played guitar before bruh instead of making up random stuff.
to all the beginners, sure some people have the talent of playing by ear, but there is a small chance you could learn a complex song like this by ear in 60 seconds unless you have played for a while and know the riff don’t give up keep working hard!!! ♥️💙
Well its nit just by ear, 80% of this is theory, pattern recognition and how sounds relate to the instrument, high level of music understanding yes, but if you think logically about it anyone can learn to do this with a few years of practice and studying
Guitarist with a few years in their belt can catch up the pattern. Not note by note but similar

Theory and skill look impossible to people who never practice either.
Maybe you should do a song you haven't already learned off camera instead of pretending it's your first time hearing it?
So you can post the same comment? Lol I've been playing guitar 15 years and I've met plenty of people who are better than me. This isn't wildly impressive.
@@julydays4194 i mean his reaction was fake as fuck lmao.
@@julydays4194 no one called it impressive, it's just fake. Dudes not learning on the spot, I'm sure you can see that if you've been playing so long
@@rockyevans1584 actually on the contrary, you can’t see how he would do this because you HAVEN’T been playing so long, or at all for that matter. If you know how a guitar works, and moreover how music works, you would know exactly what you were watching him do in the video. He found the root, felt some of the rest of the scale and from there he knows he’s in the right place, it’s just about hitting the right notes which is the easy part.
@@mikeoxlong6129 doesn't even sound like it sticks in one key to me. I thought they were playing the changes. I could be wrong though.

Woulda been cooler if you just called it a cover

@@Gabriel-jg5wh no one said anything about being bad, but everyone is on his case for lying.

Yeah this comment section has no clue😂
Keep hating on the internet, you fools😂😂
Bro can you do Smoke on the water in 60 seconds🤫
He hasnt practiced it. Anyone who knows how to play the song, knows he hasnt read the tabs. And anyone who knows how to play guitar by ear knows this is possible.
real
Mann, honestly
People are actually unable to comprehend the possibility that someone can be that good, YOU are absolute amazing 🔥🔥
He practices it before he records the video. Not hard to see that. He's a loser.
with enough practice you can have ears like this
Lol so many people calling this fake but it’s really not hard he just has a good ear. This song at the very start uses something called harmonics which is something you only get on the 5th 7th and 12th fret and it’s pretty easy to tell which one they’re using. As you can see at the beginning he walked up chromatically to find the key and beyond that it’s just fills and licks between every bit which are easy to hear just by knowing your scales and being an experienced guitarist. People keep saying “just knows where to put his fingers” no crap bruh you’d think you’d be able having years of practice on the instrument
too fake
Bro how do you practice your relative pitch?
Just sit with your guitar and try to figure out songs... it will come up naturally after some time doing that
Ppl who say this guy is capping don't know what it's like to actually be good at an instrument lmao
And you do?? 😂 I've been a musician for 12 years playing guitar piano oud and bass and this is fake as fuck
And he played 0 notes correctly minus the 3 natural harmonics
Bruh these ppl who doesn’t know music in the comment section are so cringe 😭
As a jazz head he's good but I do similar things when learning songs, comment section is full of beginners
Good ear man! My guess on that first note is the key of e... Am I right?
Going to check your other vids out, now! Thanks for the post!
Didn’t really play it right and no one believes anyone could ever play this song correctly after hearing it after 60 seconds anyway. He makes these and tricks people into believing he’s actually learning the song in these videos. He seems like a good guitarist and he may have learnt the songs by ear but that’s not what he’s doing in these videos.
Everyone hating must be trolling it's obvious this is his first time trying to play by ear, every chord progression is wrong but it's an excellent first attempt, future The Dooo right here
all these people think its fake when he is playing it wrong which is fine that hes wrong but its clear that its real
They prolly haven’t even touched a guitar before.
@@Gabriel-jg5wh people who think he's fake are either jealous or ignorant
Bro stooooppp 🥱😴 you didn’t play SHIT by ear. Not even people with actual genuine PERFECT pitch (not just relative) could do that. Super corny bruh
Bro, why don't you play twinkle twinkle so that maybe the infants will fall for your bs acting?
Dude been practicing this since it came out and still can’t play it
You should probably not say anything negative about someone unless you actually know. See him play for real quick at least once and you would know that he is like a virtuoso. He is a master at guitar.
@@lucastudor5536 thank you

Lol your not fooling anyone
Can you learn Campanela of Lizst in 60sec pls
(really easy)
Polyphia is a piece of crap but this guy is pretty good actually. 60s and 70% of the track covered!!!
Brother, love the playing but you know you can’t figure something out like that in 60 seconds.
Polyphia involves complex hybrid picking layered with harmonics, it takes time to work all that out.
This song actually isn’t that hard. All it is, is just a little bit of music theory and knowing your fretboard (which if you’ve been playing for more than 5 years you most likely know which frets/notes work together
@@twowheelguitarist Lmao. Tim himself said that it's extremely hard. What are you talking about?
he doesnt play the full song for a reason, my guy. its just finding the tones, figuring out the first few chords, arpeggios and patterns. jfc, comments sections on youtube are a dead end of thought
@@twowheelguitarist Show us how you play it then. Spoiler for the audience: he can't.
Fake garbo
Ik he's been practicing this for entire week no cap 😂
No
ur just bad ar guitar man 💀
Anything Polyphia is incredibly difficult if you’re a beginner and then again it’s difficult even with experience he did the best he could in 60 seconds especially learning from ear but he tried yes he failed but he tried and did the best he could if you don’t play you have no say but if you have played then you’d understand that just like me or him you’d probably fail too
How fake do you want your riff video...?
This human: Yes
How ignorant do you want your comment?
Jano: yes
while its defs possible to learn songs by ear like this, the thing that puts me off if you're that good at guitar you would have heard playing god before. This dude does the same thing for so many classic songs that EVERY guitar player knows. So acting like he's never heard them seems disingenuous.
I never played guitar but i will try to learn it in 60 seconds!
Seems real to me and idkw ppl saying it's fake when this is 100% possible by ALOT of guitar players who actually train their ear and understand how to play by ear.
He did a boomer bend at the end ...no
A real guitarist: it’s perfectly doable if you are an experienced guitarist
Some random kids who want to be humorous: We should give him the Oscar award for his acting😅😅
I don't care if he looked it up or not, it's impressive as fuck.
The fact people automatically think this is fake just shows how overrated polyphia is. Don't get me wrong, I like some of their tunes. But they're just people who play music. With ear training and learning your fretboard this becomes much easier. I constantly doubt my own music ability and guitar skill, but this comment section has been the most unintentional ego boost I've ever received. Could I do this as fast as this guy? Hell no. But I've progressed enough to know this is very possible, and even this is miles away from the ceiling. The longer you play, the more stuff just clicks. Just keep playing
Bro you’re talented asf
He knew the song from before. Never trust tiktokers
@@user-by4lf2uk3n even though he still talented he knows lots of songs
@@Jesusismysaviour. you dont understand the definition of talent then, just cause you know a bunch of songs (cause you put in the time) doesn't mean you're predisposed to learning an instrument.
@@no-ld3hz you most be slow talent is dedication
Not everybody is capable of spending hour to new song with different chords
Every none dedicated musician doesn’t seem to understand..
But the dedicated ones do..
There’s a very good chance this is real.
He uses something called relative pitch. I’m 18 and I’ve been using it to figure out songs almost first try with knowing the key of the song.
Relative pitch is where if you know one note.. let’s say C, and you hear another note, you can know what note that is or what notes those are just because you know the “root” note.
Everything else with that song just has to do with theory knowledge, rhythm and time signatures, and technique.
So don’t hate on him too fast! He’s clearly really good even if it was fake, but there’s a lot of evidence pointing to it not being fake.
Bro i think these shit , they must have learned a lil before the video. I don't trust but iits cool. I don't believe they learned it in 60sec.
Cause none of them actually learn it in the video. They learn it before hand and then make a video faking learning it
Yes
Theyll do anything for publicity stuff. Either good publicity or bad, still publicity.
And this one is clearly faking it. The act like "its my first time...
"
It is not only possible but far more common than you think for a highly experienced musician to be able to identify patterns in a piece of music well enough to play 4 seconds of a complicated riff half right after only 55 seconds of practice.
MAYBE he's lying and he practiced this, but that would be sad because this is not that big of a flex. I personally know 3-5 people who could also do this.
Damn, crazy good ear you got man!
Took me like 8 hours to learn the main riff 😂😂
He probably spent a week learning this and then filmed the video lol pretty obvious
@@JTheraos I mean he's playing it wrong. Like completely different thanit is actually played. So I'm pretty sure he didn't practice it for a week.
Dude: finds key center by ear and uses knowledge of functional harmony to ballpark the rest
Everybody in the comments: this isn’t humanly possible
I don't know this man or his capabilities however learning approximately 3 chords, arpeggiating them, and playing some harmonics is exactly what my guitar teacher does all the time when I show him new music to study. Certainly was in the realm of what he could do however I do understand why some people disagree . It's like accusing him of being on steroids and he's natty.
Daaang bro… in 60 seconds you learned more than I would in like 5 hours
Its def not fake. This is very doable. Do I think this was done in only one take though? Probably not. But even if we assume he did 5-10 takes, that is still extremely impressive and realistic for a seasoned veteran.
Bro practiced 60 hours to sound like 60 seconds and said “i can work with this”
bro knows nothing abt guitar and relative pitch😂
its called relative pitch actually stupid
I doubt it’s fake, he’s not playing it right. He’s just playing his version of how he heard it. There’s a lot of complex underlying notes that he couldn’t play, that’s why his version sounds different
You are amazing dude!!!!
as a guitarist this is perfectly possible I’m not saying that this isn't faked, because it 100% could be
As a musician I know this is doable. Get this part of the song in just a minute is totally possible and more common than you think. But this guy is capping so hard is impossible not to notice. First of all unless he has perfect pitch ( he obviously doesn’t) you would need to play at least 1 wrong note on the fretboard to compare it with the first note of the song, and then start getting the other notes with the relative pitch (identifying intervals between notes), and even like that you would be messing up one or two notes, unless you are extremely lucky ig, but nah this guy is just a joke
he played a bunch of wrong notes to find the key at the start? and then made little mistakes? He was not sus at all lmao
@@brickfather2222 i cant tell if youre stupid or what. tell me you have never picked a guitar in you LIFE without telling me LMAO. he was simply finding the first note he could hear. you can literally hear the key when you hear one note in context to the song. cmon like if you know what a key is im sure you know that what he did was literally what you do.
it may be fake but as far as i know this piece is more about the speed and coordination and not THAT hard. The chords and arpeggios aren't complicated. If you dominate velocity and harmonics, i think you can do it without any complications
people calling this fake, but this kind of pitch accuracy and aural skills is kind of in the business. Ive seen more impressive stuff. Like there was a guy in one of my classes who could get an entire 16 measures in 2 listens with rythmic and pitch accuracy.
So people say this is fake to them, but idk man in my world this is average.
Everyone thinking it’s fake has never touched a guitar in their life
I agree
😂
It is fake. Bruh
I have and this is fake. Show us how you do this, we'll see.
Title: “Learn playing God in 60 seconds”
Video: (learns first 3 seconds of the song)
He didn't even tried to look which scale was it lol
What?
@@MaxMeinz to look at what scale tim henson was primarily using in the song
Learning music by ear and not by sight is a skill that takes years, but can be done. I’ve been learning songs this way for a decade now, I can’t do it in 60 seconds, but I’ll get the same in less than 5min.
@@chrisaaron7755 Dude, but just the way he found the harmonics... That first part just sounded suspicious for a lot. I have absolute pitch (I can identify the tone of a song just from hearing for it), but to find the exact notes in the exact sequence in a suppost single take video, while starting from the wrong scale (he played like if the song was in G major, since it is E minor harmonic i suppose)... all these points together just doesn't seem right to me
@@Johnuao I can even do that on 60 seconds🤣 no cap and I've been ear playing since I was 16, this can achieve by hardwork and days practice.
All the people in here saying its fake never touched a guitar, or they arent good at it.. Its not hard to do what he did.. He just put a lot of time in the guitar.. If you do so, its easy to find chords and tones by hearing a song.. he didnt get the right picking and chord positions wich makes me think its even more real.. The way he found out the harmonics that fast is also understandeble cuz thats pretty easy too.. so i bet its real.. (excuse me for bad spelling or grammar, im german)
Why yall hating. It’s actually very possible. Especially with a lot of open strings and harmonics. Dude knows his frets and notes. Good job
The way he figured out that last slide lick was suspiciously quick
@@connertherocker9769ever heard of scales?
You can't be that gullible, right? Everything about this screams fake.
To all those saying it’s fake, you all should check out another RUclips guitarist called Sungha Jung. He can easily arrange complete songs and he grasped the intro in around 2mins only. People don’t realise that ear training can easily make you a fucking legend but you need to put in the time and effort.
🤣 oki.. u dont fool me🤐
Alright, as fake as this seems, it’s not completely unrealistic. I have decent relative pitch and can find my way around the fretboard somewhat similarly, like it’s not some crazy impossible thing like everyone is making it out to be. With that being said, this video definitely seems fake lol
Fu@k the haters and glad to finally see this dude getting the recognition he deserves
Ya no way man. I mean your getting down a lot of harmonics in that song and I have been playing 25 years
Now and couldn’t nail those harmonics that fast. Hell john Mayer wouldn’t mail them that fast. I know you know how to play guitar well but you pretending to do it all by ear that fast and I am referring to mostly speed not the ear but that fast I’m just not buying it.
mfs don’t realise how relative pitch works. this is actually pretty impressive
ok, i can see why everyone thinks he's lying. what he did id REALLY hard, but im.gonna assume he's been playing a very long time. ive been playing 6 years and i can relatively find where notes are, not as fast as this guy ofc, but i can see it being possible
60 seconds ? I actually learnt it before hearing it
I practiced and learned this for awhile now but lets post a video pretending its my first time ever trying! Woah im blown away! lol
5 bucks says he knew it already... the sweep picking took me over 30 minutes to get
Maybe you suck? Not saying he didn’t fake it…just saying that however long it took you means nothing for anyone else…
You don’t need to for the intro tho
Idk that's about as far as I would get in 60 seconds, polyphia is hard but there's many things guitarists learn that are million times harder
There is no sweep picking in the intro lmao, you’re playing it wrong
@@BrightonGordoni am not going to finger pick that would suckkk
I learned the song before it even came out... He's clearly faking it... Its super easy to play...
HOLY BRO THIS ENTIRE RIFF TOOK ME A WEEK. I mean ofc there are some mistakes in terms of notes but it sounded very close regardless gg
I've been playing guitar like almost 15 years.. I've been doing a lot of street or cafe performance but I don't believe this is real, but I don't say it's fake thou, it's just my opinion
Look for Sungha Jung learning Playing God live on stream for the first time
I think he was reading the tab or sheet music at the same time, but either way it’s still absolutely insane to be able to get it that quickly
If you're not a guitarist you shouldn't be commenting that he doesn't have a good ear, you probably have no idea how hard or easy it is to pick it out by ear in under 60 seconds. He hasn't had time to try either, but just played it (he missed some flageolets in the end part, the rest is actually pretty close). And he also played at a speed very close to the original and even someone with perfect hearing usually cannot play what they hear, for the first time within 60 seconds, at the original speed.
Ur faster than the creator of that guitar solo, unbelievable 👏
dude already knew how to play it lmao
I know before actually listening to rest of your video that you already know the song and have probably practiced a lot of it before. I know it because your acting is probably just as bad as mine.
