Love how Tim whips the 8 string out of his inventory at 0:40
I think it was on his back
@@dazeValit was a joke friend haha
woosh lol @@dazeVal
had to get the big backpack upgrade to make it fit the inventory
@@a11pu1poj nah he keeps it in his heavy weapon slot
Stop practicing or you’re gonna get better.
Really is amazing seeing top-tier guitarists do stuff like this. Way back in the day, you'd never, ever see anything even close to this, or if you did, it was being sold on a direct-to-VHS deal. And here's Tim (and the rest of Polyphia), doing it all for free multiple times a year.
So true. I can remember some older generations of guitarists literally turning their backs to the audience so they wouldn’t over reveal the secret sauce. We’ve come full circle.
Not free if RUclips is paying him
@@phokyew699 free to the viewers
@@phokyew699 RUclips doesn't pay too much, this is basically an ad for the live show, etc. Super appreciated by the guitar community tho, always nice to see practice pay off
@@phokyew699 even then they charge for tabs and profiles
scot now has light saber fingers
he's getting even stronger than before
Good thing there's a pov of this so I can know how it feels to practice for once lmao
@@y_r_m_pI still have the passion to play every every single day of my life and just get lost in the music... but I'm with you on the kids and career. Still have the hope for some day getting back at it.
@@y_r_m_p do you use traditional amps? If so, it sounds like you need an amp modeler or sim and dedicated free time after the kids are in bed. That's what helped me get more time in, I sold all my amps and went digital and haven't looked back since
@@mattschmitt9924Get a cheap guitar if you don't have it already and put it in the place in the house you're in the most.
Pick it up every day. doesn't matter if you play, if you have it in your hands you'll naturally want to start doing stuff.
Never let life get in the way of things you enjoy, it takes up only 10 minutes to do some fun stuff but a lifetime of waiting around and regretting things
@@AmericanNationalist852 Been playing for 20+ years now, can play some polyphia songs, an amp modeler has definitely helped make practicing easier, but when i was younger I used to have no responsibilities and minimal hobbies. Now being 29 with other hobbies and a career etc, it has definitely limited my time to practice. I'm lucky to get an hour a day to practice nowadays.
Sadly, I can relate 😅
For all of you that want to replay a specific song:
Chimera: 0:05 - 3:55
So Strange: 4:02 - 7:02
Culture Shock: 7:03 - End
love u dude
i wish chimera had an instrumental version on apple music, sadge
@dABiGfATLol it's got to be floating around somewhere since it is on the limited edition versions of the album.
@@micahmontgomery4840 yea just not on apple music and i cbf to dig and upload it oldskool style 😂 truly 2023 problems
@@dABiGfATLolimport the mp3 file onto it
This angle makes the picking techniques much more visible than the usual straighton covered by back of hand. Cool.
along with the fingerings below
helps that Tim's trying not to bob his head as much lol
Finally a “so strange” play through!!😮💨
RIGHT?? Ive waited for it so much, ive actually done a cover on yt but i swear it was the most painful thing to find the right fingerings lol
yea but he skipped like 2 minutes of it :(
Dream come true ❤
@@bareitititeprobably because it’s mostly just a loop
I always wondered if Cuco played some guitar in the song but I don’t think he’s ever played something this complicated
These riffs are so badass when you hear them, then when you see it being playing from POV it becomes 10x more badass
@@wizzykin I'm sure you make better rifts bro! xD
I love how cozy, clean and accessible his studio is. EVERYTHING is just right there, ready to be used, nothing is at all difficult to access & not a speck of dust. What a DREAM.
Lost my shit when bro pulled the 8 string from behind him like a damn Katana. Love it.
Saw and met you in Toronto on Saturday. It was unreal!! my son's first big concert!. DOMi and JD Beck were a special treat! Thank you for bringing him that experience.
SAw them in toronto as well. Amazing show aside from some guy who was coked out of his mind routinely pushing people to get to the middle.
I was there too! Hands down the best show I've seen. It was an amazing experience to be able to meet the band.
I was there too!
I was at the Chicago show 2 days before and it was amazing! Best concert I've been to in years.
me too. my first concert. i saved up for it
So many aspiring guitarists complain about metronome practice, so it is great to see a top-tier musician use it for practice all the way through!
Metronome practice in a musical context helps a ton. I personally find metronome practice in general to be oddly satisfying lol feels good hearing yourself play in time to the click.
I’m really not sure why some don’t like it, I find it a great way to measure how in time I am and gives me a pulse to work with for the song I’m practicing
i'm practice with drums. With metronome i have troubles..
they are ,and many other bands use this on live performances, it is constant in their InEar monitors and keeps them inSync
@@luxuryhades1001 I'd try to keep at it with a metronome but muchhhh more slowly than you think. It screwed me really badly when I started using one even with a violin but it gets much better over time and nothing beats something that's actually consistent 99.99% of the time compared to our brains which may not be as consistent. But again, very slow practice (not too slow but definitely no where at tempo that you think you'll be playing at) is always a good start!
How hard was it to abstain from the neck thrusts? 😂. Always love watching you play. Inspires me to practice harder! Thanks for all the amazing cuts you guys have given us over the years.
he actually did some at 5:41
@@giulianogotodemello9823 that he did, but faaaar less snappy than usual - clicking on your timestamp that's exactly where I could tell Tim was fighting the urge 😭
So amazing a small creator such as Tim is so talented, hope he gets recognised by Polyphia ❤
Small creator lol
whoosh
What’s the bros height matter sheesh
@@ookie007😂
So funny
So he DOES still practice some of their other Renaissance tracks. That's awesome.
alot of my favs came from renaissance so im glad
You should really watch them live. Cause they do shit from all of the albums. Even the most hated ep
@@pixelgamer5614they play more TMH songs live than any other albums (exept RTYWD because it's the last album)
@@pixelgamer5614I have seen them live. Unfortunately they only really played Euphoria and Nightmare (love these songs all the same, but they're pretty much the only tracks off that album that are played live anymore) so maybe unlucky for me setlist wise. Would've loved to hear songs like Ivory, Culture Shock or Paradise.
That said, I do wanna see them again so maybe that will be the one for me haha.
@@Luje_YT2020same here. That record for me is like the perfect middle ground of modern Polyphia vibes and sounds.
R&B and hip-hop influences in some places, melodic Vai era virtuosic playing (and whammy flutters up the wazoo to boot haha) and great grooves. a bit of thumping (bittersweet), etc . All their stuff is great of course but there's just something about that album in particular that just hits right the entire way through for me.
I really can't say enough good things about Renaissance as a whole.
Never expected a So Strange and Culture Shock playthrough🥶
I love the POV it's a great way (for beginners like me) to notice some details most would think to obvious to mention, for example how much your thumb moves around to reach certain chords/notes
Amazing. On a second note. This is exactly how all guitar lessons should be filmed. In a pov style like this. So much easier to see what is actually going on. Props.
was having the same thought, because otherwise I don't always play the right fret!
I’ve wondered about your practice regiment for a long time. This is great to see, Tim!
xlpsw
More guitarists need to upload POV views of their playthroughs. So clear to see your picking technique! Thanks!
Sweeett!!! I love to see how is your actual practice! It helps a lot! Thanks Timmy!
this is what lays on the other side of simple shred, when you've achieved true finger independence and all notes are at your beck and call... just sublime.
Tim’s muting technique with his left hand is interesting. He seems to extend his middle and ring finger way past the low E/off the fretboard to mute the strings. Especially during the So Strange play through…no wonder his playing is so clean. Right hand technique is really precise and optimal like classical guitar players.
Thanks, Tim for this video. I learned a few things.
Is so strange that second song? I'm taking their music in one song at a time every few weeks just to process everything. That second song sounds great
@@monkee2193yes so strange is the second song
likely mutes that way due to 8-string muscle memory carrying over.
@@cerpin_text agreed
His economy of motion and finger movement independence are awesome. It's like he plays some things with his pinky that others would play with other fingers so he can mute with the other fingers.
Good to know he also uses a pick for the chimera intro. I've always felt like i was playing a mediocre version of it because the master himself didn't use a pick
Great one, need more of these practice POVs. Just feels amazing to watch these.
Saw you guys live this past saturday. You were amazing (as per usual). Hope you're all getting enough rest on the tour!
Tim granting us mere mortals his POV so we can see the madness for ourselves
Yet I guarantee he still played it all with his eyes closed
All 3 of these sound so good live!
What's the second song? sounds great
so strange
@@monkee2193
We’d need the other dudes in the band to be playing along with him to consider it live
@@lt_johnmcclane they are playing these songs in their current setlist on tour :o
I discovered and checked you out because of ''So Strange'' - feels great seeing your POV playing it through
+++
It great to see the precision going on with both hands here…the Travis style picking mixed with the pick, everything so precise. Truly amazing. I love what you’re doing. Thanks for sharing.
Love these POV’s Tim! Sick AF 🎸🤘🔥🔥🔥
So strange is such an epic track. To watch this was so inspiring, looks way more real from a guitarist’s perspective and I personally would appreciate seeing more like this whenever you have time. Thanks for sharing
fine ig it’s time to get started on todays 40 hours
with the power of ling ling
@@JustKelseyand red bull
It's not fair that they get 40 hours for every 24.
When you two hand tap, it counts double.
Chimera will always be my second favourite rtywd song, right before All Falls Apart
Not even a serious guitarist, but I absolutely love seeing these videos. Always a treat getting to witness the boys in Polyphia show us behind the scenes of their craft.
This is so cool! I can't even imagine what it would look like doing this in a concert setting. Amazing skills Tim. Thanks for letting me watch you.
I love especially the jazzy part in the middle. His hands are changing positions so fast it looks instantaneous.
There is no jazzy part
Absolutely remarkable, I will be watching this many more times, thanks for posting this! Beautiful playing and beautiful music!!
The headbopping at 0:22 is perfect
Tim, my man! I am taking my mom to your show tomorrow! I am a fellow guitar player and my mom has become a bigger fan than myself since I learned how to play G.O.A.T.
If you can give a shout out to Lucie and say her son loves her... that would be out of this world.
If not, it's all good brother, I've spent 10$ on W6RST things.. can't wait to see your show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤙
Thats so sweet! But he is really busy and probably wont have time to read all the comments on every video :/ Still, I wish for him to see this and have fun at the show!!!! Your mom sounds really cool its so cool that she likes polyphia, cheers!🤙
Just got back from the show.
They weren't mic'd! No shout outs :( but show was amazing and it was a lifetime experience to see these guys live and up close.
Only crowd interaction was Scott getting everyone to chant the main riff to Champagne. (Awesome performance on that track!)
Clay A looks like a beast in person.. Way bigger than he seems in videos.
Clay G teased us with only the intro to Crush... Damn you.
Scott was doing a bit then someone yelled "Fuck you Scott!"... and Scott couldn't hold in his chuckle.. it was hilarious.
Tim honestly seemed to be having the best time up there on stage.. rockin' and bobbin' away. Really liked how he played his part of the intro to GOAT when he and Scott are doing that call and response after the opening riff.
So stoked we got 40oz, Goose and So Strange on the setlist!
I am happy to see Polyphia get the traction that they've seen over recent years.. The line up started almost 3 hours before doors opened Come back anytime!
@@jerrynightshade Thank you!!! I figured as much but I thought there was no harm in trying.. I really hope he sees it as well, maybe I'll get like a personal message... fingers crossed! My mom is my biggest fan and I'm not ashamed to say she's pretty cool!
Take care ☺
@@doom1509I am really glad you enjoyed the show! I have a question, I've heard they have a new intro to a concert (New version od Loud) and they made it more djent-ish, how did it sound live? I wish I could see them live, but they never come to my country, one day...😔
@@jerrynightshadeThey opened with it. I uploaded it for you, friend 😁
I wanted to cry when you guys played Culture Shock live! Glad you're bringing out some of the classics!
Awesome point of view. Always feels good to hear you play Mr Henson! Greetings from Montreal!
Nice! I really appreciate this, love the POV…thank you for sharing.🙏
this how guitar videos should be recorded.. absolutely amazing as always Tim, KILLER!!
Thank you for sharing your art Mr. Henson. ❤
thanks Tim I really needed this!
This is a really interesting window into just a little bit about what it takes for a truly gifted musician to put in the work to develop their talent. Absolutely incredible.
i was gonna practice today but now it feels like i already did. Thanks Tim!
whaaaat the fuck i just saw something incredible
also, laser hands!!
Absolute king. Love the perspective. Gratitude
Saw you in Houston a few weeks ago. AWESOME SHOW !
Seeing those from a pov makes me appreciate his technique and the cleanness of his playing even more. Damn….
They are so tight, the band's click track keeps them in synch but the amount of practice needed to execute at this level, is something most of us will not understand.
@@mablesfatalfable6021yeah but that guy understands because he’s really smart
Thank you for this Tim! I will be sure to mix some of these exercises into my routine 😄
Very cool video. Can't wait to see you guys tomorrow in Montréal!
THBB10 will always be the most beautiful guitar ever made!
debatable
Thbb10 was the first one, a strat with the black and gold modelled like a gibson Black beauty, that acoustic is the tod10 i think. And either way, your opinion is wrong the explorer and mockingbird are both standard issue and, imo, prettier guitars
@@jaymate4556nah, he's perfectly correct. A black telecaster looks better than the two guitars you listed. Nothing makes me sicker than a blond tele though.
The Synystergates guitr ist the best.. the new one 😅
@@jaymate4556 if you want a beautiful guitar go look at vai's signature guitars, honestly the PIA3761, the JEMs look great as well.
That 8 is sooo fucken sick; I hope somehow it becomes a production model or at least the pickups 🙏🏼 Can’t wait to meet you Thursday in NYC dude!!(Wish I could’ve gotten into the Q&A too but I prob have too many questions 😭😂) 🤘🏼
lovely playing dude, that's generous to show us that angle to study your technique a bit. thanks dude
7:03 that one was my favourite out of the whole video, but damn, i havent watched you play in a hot minute. Insanely good as always
More than anything else, I appreciate how this shows that skill is the result of lots of practice.
Man this POV really shows off how masterclass that right hand is
You guys are fucking amazing live! The royal oaks concert was killer!
That's so sick. Great job as always. 👌
I really like how you play and Polyphia ❤
You never fail to amaze us... Dope.. 🔥🔥🔥
Just saw you on Thursday in Chicago, you were all amazing!!
Nice. I'm seeing you guys on Saturday Night at the Fillmore in MD. Looking forward to it!
bro is so talented I can't not appreciate the hell out of all this content
Seeing that there’s minor deviance from the metronome from time to time reminds me that you’re human and is encouraging, actually. Thanks for keeping it real dude.
Sick playing as always dude!🎸🤘🔥
Man these hybrid finger picking and sweeps ,licks you name it, are fire, you give us a lot, somebody watch this and practice for 2 weeks and youll get it, don't understimate yourself. Tim is an exemple of devotion to his craft, how passionate are you reading this, your only limit is you. Peace Tim thanks a lot of all your amazing music with or without your band. 🙏
Glad you filmed this Tim.This is the closest i can get to playing a polyphia song
Always a good day when Tim posts 😌
So excited to see you guys in Boston in Wednesday
Love the so strange playthrough! One of my favorites during the polyphia concert in Vancouver even though I didn't know the song at the time
i can now finally learn so strange lol, such an underrated track, those melodies are so pretty ❤
he has a full lesson with the channel membership:)
I wish i could do that but i got like no disposable money to my name thx to college life lol, but if I remember correctly its pretty cheap right? like a few bucks or somn@@smshck
It always makes me feel jealous when I see pro players playing barre chords so professionally! Great tunes or music!
Im watching thinking this cant believe I’m gonna see you play live tomorrow night. Cant fucking wait !!!!
That little exitting bit at the end of the first song here is just incredible! Sounds so errie yet Renaissance one can say.
Really cool to see how you navigate the fretboard. Definitely helping me see new phrases and licks to try!
Also going from the nylon string to the 8 string so seamlessly was incredible to watch! ❤️🔥🙏
It has to be in the top 5 of most difficult sets of all time no matter what songs y'all go up with 😅 legends! I love everything y'all do keep up the amazing work!
Awesome! Way to do it! And by the way, as a guitar player myself I can confrim that this POV is the greatest way to immerse other beginners into fretboard awareness. Amazing note choise, technique and overall playability.
THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MINNESOTA TIM!! The only thing about the show I was disappointed in was there wasn’t enough hype in the crowd! Every song got me bobbing my head and rocking out. I hope every show left on your tour is just as awesome. Go see these guys live if you can people!!!!
POV practice is super cool but im much more interested in your writing process. I would love to see a full series of videos documenting just one song taken from concept to complete studio recording.
He has a few you can check out. Maybe not all the way to studio but at least from initial idea to shaping of the main riffs.
Yes
Sick dude. Cheers from San Diego!
Yo Tim... Nice pedi ! You two continue to amaze me with your work ethic. Well done gentleman.
You should sell an album of you and the band just jamming out, practicing, behind the scenes stuff. I know I would love it, I bet other people would too.
Animal esse som!
The way this was shot was amazing! And you already know what two songs will be asked for next just like this lol!
so cool!!! that videos so meditative! please do it more often!)
Tim , I have to say man , I think you and the band , are stellar. Whats more amazing is this sorta style is your wheelhouse , and the complexity of the arrangements just are so unique. You sort of play a guitar with a finger style that is almost identical to a slap and pop bassist , and it makes the notes when in unison with the bass , its like an extra enhancement to an already almost unbelievable arrangement. Its has a similar play style to what I know as banjo but with some strong popping and thumping. Very unique sound. Its inspiring to see your creativity. Obviously this is banjo on cocaine however , the range you have on a 8 string , and even the six string is so overwhelmingly unique. Love it man , keep those vibes coming. You got some serious chops. Your bassist and drummer have the same amount of skill , both of them are on fire. I bet even Steve Vai watches what you three have done and is like , wow lol.
surely you know they have a steve vai feature
@@0din673 I know they have had him in one video but lets be honest , vai has his flavor and its unique and very good , but what these guys are doing , at the age they are , is way more complex that anything vai was doing at that same stage. Nothing against Vai , hes a god in his own right on the guitar but the complexity of the arrangements is what makes this next level. Dropping harmonics like EVH but at stellar accuracy and speed without missing anything. The alternate picking /sweep picking , thats something , expected. The way its incorporated between the harmonics and the accuracy of all notes , is not.
Saw them live in Toronto at History on Saturday. Smoked a fatty before they came out and was almost overwhelmed by the surrealness of it all. I wanna say not only was the playing just as amazing as you'd expect it to be but the sound design and production of the lights and stage set up was seamless between songs and really added to the atmosphere of the show. Definitely one for the books.
Seen you guys in Milwaukee it was absolutely magical!!!! 😍😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🎸🎸🤘🤘
Nice!, I need to make a POV of watching the practice and shaking my head to the beat 😁
So Strange! Underrated track
Like the greats have always been saying, stop worrying so much about gear! Tone comes from the fuzzy slippers.
Tasteful main riff. I dig it all. Great work guys
One of the best days of my life was watching you guys playing in Denver last month.
