#polyphia #egodeath #reaction Let's check out Polyphia and Steve Via song Ego Death... I mean, how hard can it be?! For guitar lessons visit www.theguitarexplorium.com
Because he's playing on standar tunning with 7th, so if you try to play the song not in the standar tunning way you will not be able to play some notes he plays. He tunes down post production
All three guitarists are sitting on that throne for their respective focused parts, interestingly. Many miss that. It just seems to stick out more in Steve’s part at the end.
I keep noticing that lol! I knew Scott was also in it and nearly nobody mentions it haha. Funnily enough, I totally missed that Tim was sitting on it too... Great analogy for the song name though!
@@theguitarexplorium The song gradually builds up and gets more complicated as they go from the basement to the top of the building where Steve is waiting for them. The trumpet being at the end feels like an ode to the melody, and not the shred. The trumpet playing the melody is standing above them all (although no chair :) ).
Hello to all the Ego Death reaction stalkers out there who, like me, go from reaction to reaction just to experience this song with new people and glean new insight into this masterpiece. Yours was quite good by the way, keep up the good work.
The trumpet was at the end because Ego Death is the last track on their album and the trumpet is featured on the first track on the album as well so that it's the bookend for the entire thing.
Ah ok, really looking forward to hearing the whole thing... I'm holding back in case there are any more that require 'reactions' before I spoil it for myself!
I am convinced the album is based on a book called Trumpet. You need to check it out and a 1940's black jazz trumpet player makes 1000% sense and I love ever moment of it
I took the ending trumpet to be symbolic. They weave through different genres and different aesthetic styles throughout the song. The core idea of ego death is letting go of the illusory division between all music, a fitting theme for a song written on the back of a pop chord progression. as the sun sets, he plays the blues on trumpet. This is a reminder that, quite figuratively, "At The End Of The Day, We Are All Making The Same Thing: Music" ... at least that's my humble interpretation of what they are saying.
I love how you pointed out so much about Steve's playing. So many people think his part was overrated, but the sustain and ability of his harmonics are amazing
@@ATSinclair11 His playing is so smooth, all around Steve just lets the guitar sing, and it's amazing. To be fair he's been doing it longer than the other three (and I) have been alive so the amount of hours he's had on a guitar might be shocking (watching his Hydra video for example, a guitar is just an extension of Steve's body.) I guess if you work at it enough . . .
I like that for the first 5 minutes until 5:30 or so you thought "that dude is doing shenanigans but for sure I can figure this out" and then went to "oh my god" immediately after the intro ended :D Bro, we've all been there, we've all been there when we first listened to Polyphia :D
I like your reaction style, the pauses are fine. Always nice hearing from people who know what they're talking about since I don't understand this stuff.
You explained the changed tuning, but after that I'm still certain he has more notes available to him. And at least another three hands as well... Thanks for your perspective!
The cleanest little detail in the video is when Steve first starts playing, the song stops dead and everyone else bows their heads in respect, and they let him bring it back in his way and they just follow him till the end.
That was an amazing breakdown of the track. As someone who is very lacking in theory knowledge, it's always impressive to see someone deconstruct a song so quickly 😁 you got a new sub here!
Most people don’t know unless you have used one, but the sustain comes from a Sustainiac pickup in the neck position. It has a mode for infinite sustain. It will take that note or harmonic and sustain it indefinitely. Steve was able to shape his intro sound with it.
The first 5:40 of this reaction was wonderful (I know the rest will be wonderful, too) because I knew what was coming and you didn't. Your response to . . . whatever it is exactly that Tim does . . . was perfection.
Fun fact about the rooftop jam with Steve that another reactor picked out relating to the miming: The drummer does a bunch of these really sharp hi-hat fills on the track but doesn't actually play them on the video every time. So my guess is they had the footage but then went on and later on still changed some small things on the track during mixing, but obviously you can't just call Steve Vai and say "Hey, remember that shoot we did? Yeah that's all useless we gotta do it again" so they just rolled with it. It's close enough that you can't see it unless you're a musician and you're looking for it.
Steves part was completely chopped and changed up from what he played. He gave Tim permission to do so, but still raised an eyebrow! Its interesting to read what Steve says about this, he loves it.
In the basement, Tim Henson was sitting on the throne, on the next level Scott Le page was sitting on the throne, and then on the roof Steve Vai was on the throne. Basically at the start of each of their respective “solos”. The music video has a story to go along with title Ego Death and it’s displayed throughout both in the song structure and the history of the band.
Yeah that is true it shows history of EGO death for band's history where they started off as math rock, killed it and went on to Hip Hop infused Prog Rock with The Most Hated album, then to the new mixed genre album New Levels New Devils which killed another ego. Then the latest album released where they literally went with entire album that has songs mixed with various other genres RMTYWD as another ego death.
I love the "he's got notes I don't have, that's not fare". Welcome to my life, However it has led to some conversations with students about discipline and practice that has yielded great results and confidence in students. I may never be really able to to play this great but I can explain what he is doing. Tim is inspirational and frankly a genius but his playing is approachable by those dedicated to the work. My fingers haven't bled in twenty-five years but they are once again, stick with it my friend.
I think thats partly due to the cinematography. (Im a cinematographer) in Tim and Scotts case. The chair is there and they're sitting in it. Dope but people sit in chairs all the time. So not as interesting. In Steves case theres a parallax reveal, sort of like a marvel hero standoff scene. Which can make anything look epic. And because the chair is part of whats revealing Steve, you notice it more.
Really awesome video. I enjoyed your presentation style and insights a lot. Definitely one of the better reactions I've seen so far, and I think I've seen most of them already lol.
I wasn't feeling it the first time I heard this song, but the more I come back to it the more it grows on me. I've never really dove into Steve Vai's stuff, but I appreciate how unique his playing is. He just doesn't care.
Really enjoy your breakdowns 🔥 Tim & Scott are bringing something brand new to guitar. True innovators. Love to see the old and the new guard on the same video. Subbed ☮️
Nice video. I enjoyed that you really took your time and tried to figure out what's going on at different interesting parts. I watched a few reaction videos (and even guitar solo covers) and so far you're the only person who pointed out that Steve is using the "joint shifting" technique in the beginning of his part.
@@theguitarexplorium Joint shifting a.k.a the quickest way to get arthritis. JK tho! If I remember correctly, Steve Vai himself got a severe carpel tunneling from practicing this technique too hard.
All very talented players ... I have been a Fan of Polyphia since first hearing them ... my first thought on the way that Tim Henson composes music was that he is on a par with Miles Davis ... Hearing the music before playing it ... if J.S. Bach were alive today he would "Jam" with these guys ...
I really liked how you broke everything down and emphaised how you can still play a simpler version - I'm just learning so practicing along even with easy cords is fun :) (doubt I'll ever be able to progress from easy cords on this song anyway!)
Thank you so much for the reaction I have learnt so much from you taken many notes, and you have helped to gain an understanding of these incredibly technical and fast songs, so happy I've found you.
I always thought Tim and or Scott played with Steve at his first part. Pretty cool to know it was all him. Edit: Keep doing videos like this and you will gain a lot of subscribers I am sure, I really enjoyed it.
Youre correct that its the same chords, chord patterns, melody and basic rhythm all the way through with each guitarist playing it basically their own way. They also all sit in that chair which i think is beautiful commentary in relation to the song title
the chord pattern changes for Vai's part. Haven't seen many reactors mention that. Seems like they kinda tune out of the chord changes near the end and don't notice.
Tim used to do most everything hybrid picking, except sometimes in the studio. Best of both worlds. It improved my playing a lot. I'm not great finger style, I'm not great picking, but combining the two I could keep up with harder songs than I could before.
the intro guitar is actually nylon string and hollow. not sure if that helps understand the harmonic notes he's achieving but maybe haha these guys are amazing
11:35 had me cracking up, "You can tell a bit more with him, he's not flying about in the same way that Tim was" I'm sitting here like "Just give him a second more" and laughing
15:46 it's so funny that literally everybody who reacts to the video comments on the chair when Steve Vai sits on it, even though both Tim and Scott were using it beforehand. Maybe it's the sitter, not the chair?
It's weird isn't it! I think because I was so engrossed with watching Tim and Scotts fingers I didn't even notice the furniture - with Steve it does this big pan around it so hard not to notice.
Please do a reaction to PLAYING GOD !!!! I like your take on finding the roots and finding your own improvisation to give you the sense of playing along !!! Id love to see how you do with Nylon String Acoustic improv. ❤❤❤
Tim and Scott Both use what I (as a non guitarist) understand as a compound picking technique a lot so there are times when they are using a pick and times when they aren’t - and the pick is palmed for want of a better term. That and harmonics with very lightly fretted notes is some of the shenanigans Tim gets up to in his bit - just my wording…
When Steve is sitting in the chair, he's holding and using his whammy bar ever so slightly. That's probably why you think he was getting that note bending effect. Not really noticeable. But being a guitarist, go back and look. I'm sure you'll notice it then.
He has notes I don’t have…. That’s not fair😂😂😂 I would not even attempt to play Polyphia…. I’ve been playing guitar for over 20 years and have been playing various instruments for 45 years…. You made me laugh out loud several times 😁

Laughed out loud when you put the guitar down and said, "ok, we won't be needing that"
Pretty much figured it was game over at that point! 😂
lol I feel the same when I look at my 🎸
Same here! lol
😂
Maybe us wannabes are too floored to go on trying
"He's got notes I don't have, that's not fair."
Had me rolling.
Tim is also playing a 7 string
@@indianajones3315 It's a 6 string at first.
@@indianajones3315 The RG8527Z J.custom, that's a beautiful guitar, but way out of my price range, even if I was looking for another.
Relatable
Because he's playing on standar tunning with 7th, so if you try to play the song not in the standar tunning way you will not be able to play some notes he plays. He tunes down post production
6:19 "Yeah, okay, I don't think we'll need THAT anymore" As a guitarist I felt that.
All three guitarists are sitting on that throne for their respective focused parts, interestingly. Many miss that. It just seems to stick out more in Steve’s part at the end.
I keep noticing that lol! I knew Scott was also in it and nearly nobody mentions it haha. Funnily enough, I totally missed that Tim was sitting on it too... Great analogy for the song name though!
I also tought it as a generation stance, the younger to the oldest guitar player.
That's so crazy! I think with Scottie and Tims parts I was so involved in watching their hands I didn't even notice the furniture!
Yeah, I would have thought everyone would notice that

Lemme guess, it’s just changed to every song on the album now, taking up your whole life.
OMG, that's what I've become! 🤣
This is like my 5th reaction to this I've watched!!

This makes sense, very thoughtful finale
When they released this single, I wanted to hear more trumpet too. So, when they released the album that is what intrigued me.

the legato slides sound fretless on a fretted guitar are amazing to me
He uses a sustainer.
@@russellward4624 and it sounds amazing

Just goes to show you don't need to play fast to be a guitar god :)
The trumpet at the end almost feels like a pallet cleanse and rest in awe of what you just experienced.
I like that for the first 5 minutes until 5:30 or so you thought "that dude is doing shenanigans but for sure I can figure this out" and then went to "oh my god" immediately after the intro ended :D
Bro, we've all been there, we've all been there when we first listened to Polyphia :D
Came here for the reaction, stayed to see you play along. Nice job man!
aw thanks!
The "He's doing.. STUFF" at @5:10 pretty much sums up any Polyphia learning experience lol
I like your reaction style, the pauses are fine. Always nice hearing from people who know what they're talking about since I don't understand this stuff.
I loved the "he has notes I dont have!!!!" Lol. U have an amazing ear and understanding of your frets and board.
Cheers mate, I appreciate that 👍
Man I like this guy's video. He is so wholesome and soft spoken. Gonna watch your other videos after this.
You explained the changed tuning, but after that I'm still certain he has more notes available to him. And at least another three hands as well... Thanks for your perspective!

oh that's cool! 😎
“Oh my god that’s so difficult to play” lmao same. Steve’s part shocked me, I was in awe with how much I loved it ❤
That was an amazing breakdown of the track. As someone who is very lacking in theory knowledge, it's always impressive to see someone deconstruct a song so quickly 😁 you got a new sub here!
thank you so much!
I didn't know it until you said it, but just a touch of trumpet in the middle would have been a treat.
Most people don’t know unless you have used one, but the sustain comes from a Sustainiac pickup in the neck position. It has a mode for infinite sustain. It will take that note or harmonic and sustain it indefinitely. Steve was able to shape his intro sound with it.
Ah yes, good catch! Now you mention it, that's exactly what's going on!
you had the best breakdown on Steve's part that I've seen here! Great video!
All three guys: Tim, Scott, and Steve, were sitting in the same chair in this clip.
🤣 You're so right!... how did I miss that?!
The first 5:40 of this reaction was wonderful (I know the rest will be wonderful, too) because I knew what was coming and you didn't. Your response to . . . whatever it is exactly that Tim does . . . was perfection.
30 seconds into the song "yeah, he's gone crazy so.."
Joint shifting
His song "Candle Power" is amazing

@@titntin5178 what's the source for this? I'm actually really interested.
21:07 I love this shot so much, Steve looks like he's been in Polyphia the whole time xD fits right in
The entire song is the summoning of the trumpet

Him putting away the guitar right after the first riff is the funniest most relatable shit I've ever seen.
5:20 - "He's doing shenanigans!"
Then the reaction to the next riff haha. You're all of us dude! They pull it off live too which is crazy
I noticed that Polyphia has made all these guitar player reactors put their guitar downs every time they react to their music. Amazing.
"So this is fairly straightforward, so far. Let's hope it doesn't change so much..." Actual lol.
😂😂😂
When Steve came in it felt like Yoda had just entered the room and class was now in session.
Can tell bout 10 mins in this guy says to hell with picking this apart... imma gonna sit back and enjoy this. Good stuff!
earned a sub for your genuinely enthusiastic breakdown x
“He’s doing shenanigans” haha love it

Every guitarist hearing polyphia for the first time: 6:19
I always find it interesting how few people notice the chair when Tim and Scott are in it but will really take notice of it when Steve is revealed.

Thank you for making me appreciate Steve Vai's solo even more. It just went from "really good" to "amazing" for me.

Tim and Scott use the technique hybrid picking
If you haven´t you should definitely watch Tim´s videos on how he writes the songs
This Guy should have left his guitar on the floor the first time he put it down, and just sat, listened and learned!
wouldn't have made a very entertaining video though... and unfortunately one cannot learn guitar without trying to play one! 😏
Subbed (: I can really relate to your playing level- really feel like I could carry a conversation with you. This is exciting stuff.
