i saw a video a while back where Polyphia’s drummer’s earpiece died or something so one of the techs laid on the ground on his stomach and smacked the beat on the drummer’s calf like a weird ass metronome. he pulled it off like nothing even happened
@@neonice6137 I know the difficult but if u create a music and don't know how to play it correctly is a bit shame for me. I'v already learn playing god in 3 days practicing 15 min but on classic guitar,just bought a guitar some days ago,I'm just waiting to arrive to show my progress.

This crowd is literally daft! I'd be so pissed if I went to go see a show to watch them play and have the crowd yelling the whole time. I didn't even hear the opening because there was so loud and annoying
@@zootsoot2006 Man I agree so much. I am just in limbo between awe of their skill and how empty and shallow the music feels to me.

Y’all figured the live shit out! This is clean as fuck. The treble in the classical helps it stick out and not be too muddy in a live setting. Sounded super fucking good.

The way your head basically glitches as you hit the fast part 😬🤯🤤 I've looped this 6 times now. Nothing like watching you guys live ❤ your talent makes me so happy and inspired.
First time I ever saw them was in Pitt back in 2017 and Tim could absolute play the songs live, but you could tell it was a struggle and it sounded nowhere near as good as the albums. Every year since when I’ve gone to see them it’s been better than before. It’s so crazy seeing this video now in 2023 and seeing how far you guys have come and how hard you guys have all clearly practiced and gotten into your groove. I fucking love to see it. Rock on dudes.
Isnt fucked up that a band can have such perfect talent, personality, AND looks? . Im legit jelous. 😂😂. I really really enjoy these dudes. I apptthe true talent they bring to music in days where mainstream music is very boring to someone like me. Thank u guys so much polyphia... for making such amazingly talented music popular. It NEEDS too happen.
The fact he can look away from his fretboard for even 1 second lol, pretty impressive. I’m not a big fan of Polyphia, but it’s really amazing seeing this, I haven’t seen this kind of innovation since the 80’s in instrumental music.
once youre that good that you can play this live in full tempo and without cuts, you dont even need to look at the fret board its all basically fully memorized in your body by now.
Damn that sound engineer needs a raise. I can only imagine how hard it is to get a nylon string semi-acoustic guitar to sound like this AND cut through the hard rockin sound. 11/10 band
Seeing this specific show live was just insane. You truly can't even process what they do with a guitar. Ugh, a wonderful night while they were here in Memphis
@@mapowey pretty much this. no one ever gets anywhere without grinding. there might be something obscure like talent involved, but its an unknown variable. for example: if i ever did anything quite as often and persistant as playing overwatch, i would then instead be as good in that skill instead than in overwatch. and in overwatch im high masters.
They were amazing live. I had vip tickets and hearing them do a fun Q&A they are also so down to earth. Also not only do they play supernaturally great, they also seamlessly play in unison, without even looking at each other. It was mind blowing.
Last night’s show at The Factory in Deep Ellum was fantastic. You guys exceeded my expectations, and I’m grateful for it. Thank you for making good on your promise to reschedule.
ayyyy you guys are killing it! can not wait for this gig next month, i’m like dodging unofficial tour footage/footage not released by the band by y’all AND periphery from the algo like it’s movie spoilers out here 🥲
I can't think of a better example of Polyphia being "music for musicians" when the crowd is chanting "hey!" on beats 2 and 4, and they're NOT rushing and totally in the pocket.
This is a clean tone too, a lot of players hide behind distortion and affects to hide the mistakes, which makes it even more impressive that he played this perfectly, clean. Of course, I'm not a guitarist I'm a keys player mainly, but I do know some things.

why wouldnt they 🤣 ur gonna know ur rhythm and music theory , even just a little, when u listen to polyphia. compared to just going to a pop concert

Of course his technique is so mixed up more like a caged system of how he applies what on what.

Saw him live in Orlando a couple days ago and the live playing was incredible
Saw him last Saturday was amazing
saw him late March in St. Pete 😁😁 they're incredible & their vibes are immaculate
Wait wtf
How did i miss it😭
seeing that live was insain. i love learning yalls songs and play style, it's really my favorite way to make a guitar sound.
Saw them live a few years ago in Tucson. Was the best show I've been too. Their performance and audio was as perfect as the album itself. Unreal.
Just got home from watching you guys in Manchester. Absolutely incredible performance. Please come back again.
LOVE THIS! Thank you for reintroducing the guitar and instrumental music too
Love they’re getting the recognition they deserve. Saw them during the chon brothers tour, and couldn’t fathom why they weren’t the headliner.
they are all just amazing artists.. Tim is crazy how his brain cycles through all these patterns.. he is something special
I was at that concert and it was great I loved it. Keep going polyphia all of your songs are great
WAOO. This lady has skills !!! what she does with her guitar is intense

It was so fun seeing it! They killed it in Memphis. Missed a few notes on the Playing God section, but to be expected. It was a unique experience.
Holy shit this is the indy concert. This was probably the most fun ive ever had at a show. Their opener was sick af too.
I was sooo glad I was at this concert last night Come back to Memphis 😭😭

Saw them last year, and seeing them again tonight. They always kill it!
Emang gila nih Tim Henson, udeh ganteng, cool, calm, bebatik, jago pula gitarnya..
I helped setup their show at Marathon Music Works in Nashville and they were so solid and really chill guys!
This guy just killed it by playing only on the Acoustic Guitar, He just made history in the guitar world.
Just saw them live a couple days ago at the NorVa in Norfolk. Great experience
