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
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
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
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. That doesn't stop me from playing or make me quit guitar. It inspires me. Be inspired, my friend.
ok thanks for the civilised answer, the only thing that i am getting inspired for, is to not rage at random youtube comments. the info you gave would be very useful in the case that I didn't know about them so i appreciate that. i know that what he is supposedly doing is possible. but if you think that 5 tries to find 1 note and after that nailing a series of 5 notes , first try, no mistakes, is coherent, then we don't have much else to say. btw just think that unrealistic depictions of talent may discourage beginners or make them chase something that doesn't exist
Or music theory, pattern recognition, if any of these people played jazz they would realize polyphia is easy with the exception if speed and technique change
@@snickers6125 not true, if he had the ability to learn a song by ear then he would have the musical ability to back it up, so him messing up just shows he's inexperienced and wouldn't have been able to just learn it by ear
legit i know there are jazz musicians that can pull this shit but we all know this is some random joe who's really bad at making it look like he's some genius lmao
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.
bro is definitely not playing the way tim henson plays it, you picked out the root notes and matched the sound!! great stuff dude and don’t listen to the other people that obviously don’t play
Almost 25 years experience and 15 teaching, he did not learn this in 60 seconds. He’s had constant criticism for his misleading videos like this. All he has to do is live stream and take requests, but he won’t. The reason, because he can’t actually do this.
@@ElevnSense just cause you can't do it doesn't mean no one can, I can do similar things, when you play jazz for a long time finding notes instantly becomes 2nd nature cause you know what every note is and sounds like. Same with chords and rythems, polyphia isn't even that hard, just technique switching, remember just cause you do something for a long time means nothing, there's always a 12 year old that will destroy us, let it humble us
@@snickers6125 first, I can absolutely play polyphia songs, B if you’re gullible enough to believe he took 1 min of time to learn this, I have a bridge to sell you. Again after over 25 years of playing and 15 of teaching, it’s very easy to tell he absolutely did not learn this in 60 seconds.
@@snickers6125 the fact that youre gullible enough to believe it tells me a lot about you. i can play it, its full cap that he learned it as quick as he did. you know what would have made it believable? No edits, but of course youre not very observant so i dont expect you to see that either, on top of most likely having very little guiatr experience
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
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.
I didn't learn this song by ear but I can say I read it straight off the tabs on songster. Took me about a day to get it down. Playing it perfect is another thing.i don't think this is cap. Because first off. He's not playing it note for note. Infact. His version of the riff is harder!!!
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
Honestly if you’ve been playing guitar long enough picking up on this can come pretty naturally. If you understand the scales, the natural harmonic placements on the fretboard and if you’ve already previously learned other polyphia riffs that are similar, it could come quite quickly. But it does seem as if he’s heard the song before just maybe hasn’t sat down and actually learned it
@@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.
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.
are all of these guys crazy!?? Arpeggios and harmonics are easy to find and he has an experience of 20 years so its plausible for him to learn the rythmic sequences and play them by hearing.
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.
I've been transcibing very hard music for 20 years, including Guthrie Govan tunes, and this is absolutely possible. The hard part is learning a song 100% correctly (correct slides, vibrato, etc.). Jamming to a tune is easier.
It’s very evident that this video is real, and as someone who has seen the official tab I can tell you that he is using very different chord shapes to play the same arpeggios, so he definitely didn’t look up the tabs beforehand
Blows my mind that people think this isn't possible. I learned the whole main riff, transcribed by ear, in 30 minutes (had a spare 30 minute block in my teaching schedule). Mind you, it took about 2 weeks of practicing it to actually play clean at full speed. But learning this little snippet in 60 seconds is for sure possible. Like he even played it wrong, the first chord has a very obvious minor 3rd (G note) in it, but he opts to use the root note. This song is not hard to transcribe, it is very simple harmonically, but it is a BITCH to play.
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
I am learning to play this song, and I think this is completely genuine. He has guitar experience and quickly figured that the scale of the song was E minor, any intermediate guitarist knows where the harmonics of E minor scale are so it didn't take much time for him to figure it out. I'd say he has heard this song before, but he definitely played this for the first time by ear.
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
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
I know it seems fake, but although he might have looked at quickly before, getting where he got is very plausible using solely relative pitch, which is what I think he did.
Okay for those saying it's fake: he played it wrong. It sounds okay, but as a guitar player I can tell that this is genuine. Let this man be, his paperwork is good
dude your so talented it's obvious that you tried to get the piece at ear cause the song don't goes like that and in the intro you don't reach 14f so lol I trust you man
Why are y'all even hating? Even if he faked learning it he STILL KNOWS HOW TO PLAY A HARD SONG LIKE THAT so it still means he has a great amount of skill.
60 seconds by ear and he kicked the shit out of most guitarists. Even Tim wrote playing god over the course of a year and not all the parts were written by polyphia (solos and ending part by Wes H I believe) but this guy caught the essence in 60 seconds.
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... "
Why do people think this is fake? There are people with perfect pitch that can do this easily, and tbf if it is real that’s super impressive, even though he never got the end product 60 seconds to come up with that is high level
yall are crazy, if youve seen real skilled musicians/guitarists you'd be stunned at how insane they are at playing something they hear for the first time.
You have a very impressive ear hate the ppl say this is fake cuz even if it is it’s still perceived as real by a lot of people and will inspire ppl to be great musicians. Thank you!

But it does seem as if he’s heard the song before just maybe hasn’t sat down and actually learned it
as a guitarist this seems pretty legit he did improvise pretty closely, and the notes are not exactly the ones in the original
Can you please play, just the two of us by Bill Withers??
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
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.
are all of these guys crazy!?? Arpeggios and harmonics are easy to find and he has an experience of 20 years so its plausible for him to learn the rythmic sequences and play them by hearing.
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
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
@@lucastudor5536 playing guitar for 22 years... so fake
@@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.
Exactly…to even make a video like this shows his arrogance and need for validation.
I've been transcibing very hard music for 20 years, including Guthrie Govan tunes, and this is absolutely possible.
The hard part is learning a song 100% correctly (correct slides, vibrato, etc.). Jamming to a tune is easier.
For 60 seconds this is insane
Woulda been cooler if you just called it a cover
People think just cause they suck everyone has to…
@@Gabriel-jg5wh no one said anything about being bad, but everyone is on his case for lying.
@@mimix3555 he could reasonably be not lying. youtube commenters just have a room temperature iq.
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.
It’s very evident that this video is real, and as someone who has seen the official tab I can tell you that he is using very different chord shapes to play the same arpeggios, so he definitely didn’t look up the tabs beforehand
Blows my mind that people think this isn't possible. I learned the whole main riff, transcribed by ear, in 30 minutes (had a spare 30 minute block in my teaching schedule). Mind you, it took about 2 weeks of practicing it to actually play clean at full speed. But learning this little snippet in 60 seconds is for sure possible. Like he even played it wrong, the first chord has a very obvious minor 3rd (G note) in it, but he opts to use the root note. This song is not hard to transcribe, it is very simple harmonically, but it is a BITCH to play.
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
That he plays well, he does it, but I don't know how realistic it is that he learns like this in 2 attempts.
Damn that’s talent bro, your good!!
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
Ik he's been practicing this for entire week no cap 😂
No
ur just bad ar guitar man 💀
I am learning to play this song, and I think this is completely genuine. He has guitar experience and quickly figured that the scale of the song was E minor, any intermediate guitarist knows where the harmonics of E minor scale are so it didn't take much time for him to figure it out. I'd say he has heard this song before, but he definitely played this for the first time by ear.
You did good bro !
🤣 oki.. u dont fool me🤐
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
Honestly mate take your time u have a gift
Your are doing amazing
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.
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.
I know it seems fake, but although he might have looked at quickly before, getting where he got is very plausible using solely relative pitch, which is what I think he did.
Bro woke up and said
“I wanna seem cool but without the effort”
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
How fake do you want your riff video...?
This human: Yes
How ignorant do you want your comment?
Jano: yes
Music is like a Skyscraper. Hard to build but easy to demolish! Hard to create but easy to deconstruct.
Okay for those saying it's fake: he played it wrong. It sounds okay, but as a guitar player I can tell that this is genuine. Let this man be, his paperwork is good
60 seconds ? I actually learnt it before hearing it
dude already knew how to play it lmao
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
dude your so talented it's obvious that you tried to get the piece at ear cause the song don't goes like that and in the intro you don't reach 14f so lol I trust you man
Great!!
mfs don’t realise how relative pitch works. this is actually pretty impressive
Why are y'all even hating? Even if he faked learning it he STILL KNOWS HOW TO PLAY A HARD SONG LIKE THAT so it still means he has a great amount of skill.
you got it good job !
Fu@k the haters and glad to finally see this dude getting the recognition he deserves
Ur faster than the creator of that guitar solo, unbelievable 👏
Man bro looks like David Beckham
60 seconds by ear and he kicked the shit out of most guitarists. Even Tim wrote playing god over the course of a year and not all the parts were written by polyphia (solos and ending part by Wes H I believe) but this guy caught the essence in 60 seconds.
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...
"
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
Why do people think this is fake? There are people with perfect pitch that can do this easily, and tbf if it is real that’s super impressive, even though he never got the end product 60 seconds to come up with that is high level
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
I expected Sweet Child O' Mine intro at the end
yall are crazy, if youve seen real skilled musicians/guitarists you'd be stunned at how insane they are at playing something they hear for the first time.
Learning Quantum mechanics in one day : F=ma
I’m over here still learning stairway to heaven after a year
You have a very impressive ear hate the ppl say this is fake cuz even if it is it’s still perceived as real by a lot of people and will inspire ppl to be great musicians. Thank you!
You believe everything that people feed you, right?
Everyone is saying that this is fake. As a guitarist of 17 years, I don't think it is.
