GOAT Polyphia Flamenco guitar

- I rarely play anything other than my own music. This video however, is a result of a discussion I had with my son Liam (who is a huge Polyphia fan), about whether it would even be possible to play GOAT on a nylon guitar? I had to try..! Should anyone be interested, there´s a tutorial out now as well!

absolutely incredible
u damn right goat
Wow, we found the video at the same time.
69 likes perfection
real
the madlad replied to everyone except for Tim
I'm speechless... The original song blew my mind, this cover blew what left...
Thanks a lot man🙏🙏
And your name blew what was left
i feel you
hehe i feel you bro
I would like but it's 777 ツ
its actually crazy cool how the flamenco style lends itself to this. i would have never imagined
Thanks man!🙏
I love it! He showcasing how rich, versatile, and adaptable the flamenco guitar is!
I've always thought the song sounds very "Latin"
Plenty of metal musicians have dabbled in classical guitar
@@phillipedwardness9591 that’s not classical
0:29 Tim taps those notes , you put your pinky to work reaching the octave . 1st finger three strings and 7 frets from the forth finger at that moment ...amazing
Thanks man and yes that’s correct! Tapping them on this type of guitar just doesn’t sound great.
yeah tapping doesn't sound very good on acoustic and classical (nylon) guitars
@robertsvard8254 it's funny how much more difficult everything is on a classical guitar
Iam a 1 year begginer and iam very happy I started my journey on an unplayable classical
I tried an electric and it felt sooo easy to play
@@ibrahimismail5625 They can be difficult . When I started playing back in middle school (2004) I had a steel acoustic and a nylon string . The steel strings are great for building finger dexterity and the classical forces you to play clean or it will sound bad. All of which will make playing the smaller thinner electric necks a lotttt easier .Keep at it . Playing was and still is my therapy .
@@toxictator4561 it really is
I don't know what I would have done if it wasn't for this 20 year old guitsr I found
Probably gone insane
0:37 only guy to play the fast part of the chorus flawlessly. sounds even cleaner than the original even. nuts
Thank you very much Stuart🙏
Only us scrubs need tutorials 😭
These guys are friggin savants lol
yeah because it's sped up.
Anyone mediocre player can play polyphia very very slowly and then speed the footage.
@@joannot6706 Lol. It’s not sped up man😃. Why do people think that this is somehow impossible to play? I’ve played guitar for 40 years and 90% of this piece really isn’t very difficult at all:)
0:20 is better
What a beast. Played using fingerstyle, all the harmonics, bass solo and to perfection. Love the bits with the flamenco techniques. Favorite Cover.
Wow! Thank you very much Ahmed! :)
Nice
Agree
Indeed, the best cover of this song. I discovered this track through this amazing video and to me I like it better than the original. I may be a bit biased but nothing compares to some good fingerstyle guitar.
A monster
I grew up with Robert. There was always pure talent, then came hard work and epic life experience. The mix is just incredible.
Thank you very much Martin! So nice to see you here on YT! Let’s have that coffee soon!🙏😝
@@robertsvard8254aww
I love this because much of Tim’s music is about flexing and I think that translates so well to Flamenco. Bravo!
Thank you very much Lincoln🙏😃
Such an underrated opinion.
Flamenco is all flex !
Words can't describe how good you are. Not just in playing but how you literally reproduced every single bit of the song BY YOURSELF, and adding your own twist to it. Even the small parts are reproduced with 100000% accuracy. Damn.
Thank you very much!! Your comment really made my day!
That's exactly how I feel and everytime I listen to this song it gives me goosebumps. I absolutely love this rendition it's a straight mind blowing display of talent.
This guy is genuinely one of the best guitarists I've ever seen. Criminally low view count.
Thank you very much Jean Luc for your kind words!
totally agree
@@Maximator019 Thanks a lot🙏🙏🙏😃
Robert Svärd you are incredible!
@@vincentyou266 Thanks a lot Vincent🙏🙏😃
I think this very video is the reason why Tim used nylon strings for his new song “Playing God”
So dope seeing this
Thanks man! Haha yeah, who knows??!🙏😆
Omg man you just made a waaay more difficult version of an already nearly impossible song to play by using a classical guitar, you have all my respect its amazing and beautiful !
Thank you very much for your kind words Etienne🙏😃
Please excuse me while I pick my jaw up off the floor.
That was incredible
Haha thank you very much Kevin🙏🙏🙏😃
DUDE THIS IS AMAZING!!! well done
Thank you very much!!🙏
@@robertsvard8254 TABS
@@Shacharath Haven’t got any unfortunately, but I intend to post a tutorial as soon as I have the time.
@@robertsvard8254 thank you very much bro
The tabs are the same as the original. The only thing he changed was the picking pattern. Not to downplay the genius of this cover. Those runs are super difficult to play clean, and he did it masterfully on low tension strings. Most people forget how hard it is to vibrato on nylon.
Not enough people are talking about Scottie's part. The part at 1:07 was *chef's kiss*
Thanks man🙏🙏
I can't say that I've listened to Polyphia and still this is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard on guitar
Wow…Thank you very much for your kind words Joaquin🙏😃
1:07 instant sub... so clean
Thanks man! Appreciate it. :)
@@robertsvard8254 Yeah that was insane. Never seen anything like that before. Earned another sub just from that alone!
Youre a legend
“The precision of a machine but a human playing the guitar”, my mind cannot comprehend such godly sight. 😵😵😵
Thanks man🙏😃
I urgently need a 10 hour version. I can't stop putting it on replay.
Wow! Thanks man, so glad you like it 🙏😃
if you right click the setting icon on a youtube video you can select the option to loop the video forever
How can the cover be better than the original, and we're talking about polyphia?!!
Incredible work sir.
Thank you very much! I’m so glad you like it 🙏😃
This even sounds more badass than the original to be brutally honest! Sounds as if Javier Reyes and Tim Henson made a baby.
Wow... thank you very much Papa, so glad you like it🙏🙏🙏😃
@@MultiWolfstorm Bruh.
What a marriage…assuming there was one 😂
I'm clicking random vids about this song.. halfway through, I scroll down to see how many millions of views this video has.. wtf.
I know it's still a new vid, but this is an incredible cover. This needs many many more views.
Thank you very much! I’m so glad you like it! Hopefully people will slowly discover it!
@@robertsvard8254 yh i hope youtube algorithm will start recommending ur vid
@@improvingguitarist1595 Thanks man! Let’s hope so!!😃🙏🙏
@@robertsvard8254 Just got recommended it so it could easy be getting recommended about now. Crazy cover dude, such clean playing.
@@ChrisTF Thank you very much Chris🙏 Seems like the algorithm must have kicked in!:)
Pretty sure tim started to get interested in nylon stuff thanks to this cover man!
Thanks Leo! :) Who knows…maybe..:)
THIS is this is the guy I want to see cover Playing God!
Thanks Izzy! It’s in the pipe🙏😃
My guitar looked at me in disgust and told me: "Go back to your bronze lobbies in Apex scrub"😭😭
Hahahahahahaaaaaaa!! I´m sure it didnt!!
saame haha
Haha 😂😂😂
You should look at those Bronze Apex lobbies and go back to guitar ;)
Mine was like "Don't ever touch me again you weak fuck"
1 minute in, then I remembered to breathe again. Subscribed.
Wow. Thank you very much! Appreciate the support🙏🙏🙏
Not only was it amazing how you nailed the harmonics with that technique, but the flamenco twist you gave it was absolutely insane ❣️ This is such a fantastic ode to both prog rock and classical music. Not to mention, getting ready to go out tonight whilst listening to this was a whole mood!
Thank you very much🙏 I’m so glad you like it!!
It's hard to find covers that can truly compete with their original counterparts. This is incredible.
Thank you very much Daniel🙏😃
It's nice to see someone actually have the balls to cover the full song and not just the intro
Thanks a lot Casey! :)
Your version makes the real version look like a cover
😂😃Thank you very much🙏🙏😃
I was thinking the same thing, like polyphia made a sweet cover of an amazing flamenco style song. But thats polyphia for you lol
This is better than than the original imo. By far.
Your technique is so RIDICULOUSLY clean. Probably the best I've seen the fast part played in a cover!
Thank you very much Jeremy🙏. I’m so glad you like it!
I had previously written a longer comment but my computer crashed before I could post it. I think it was just as overwhelmed as I was and simply had to shut down in a moment of silence, in order to properly compute and comprehend what just came through its speakers.
I've watched this several times now, back to back and I find myself discovering new things that I didn't see before, because 0f my sheer amazement. All of the different cultural and stylistic embellishments that you've seamlessly included into your version are incredible, and I can only wonder how many others you considered, but chose not to add. Sometimes the scraps on the 'editing floor' are just as amazing as the end result.
As a new subscriber to this channel I know what I'll be binging on this weekend, and I look forward to discovering everything else this amazing musician has given birth to, and sharing with every musician I know. I just wish that Flamenco guitar players were more acknowledged and appreciated here in the United States, but as we all know, the majority of amazingly skilled musicians get the least attention in this culture of 'dumbing down' musical audiences by overwhelming the music industry with the most simplified and talentless 'artists' in the entire history of music.
There is something to be said for the artist(s) who can get the point across to their audience with the fewest notes, and,,, the artists who have the ability to play the most notes, are never the most entertaining to listen to, but there is a very high point of the 'happy medium' where a musician has found a way to blend that high skill level into music that is very easy to listen to, as well as being very interesting and entertaining at the same time.
This is exactly the kind of high level playing that fits the bill. You've taken a composition that sounds a soundtrack to a scary movie about spiders and other creepy insects crawling over their horrified victims, and turned it into more of a softer, more beautifully melodic version that doesn't give me negative chills down my spine when I listen to it.
Don't misunderstand.... I fully appreciate Tim Henson's original composition and talent, but he was obviously going for a certain sound, which he pulled off to perfection, and I think that in the right context of a horror movie or something similar it could have profound effect on the audience, just like in my quiet setting, in the middle of the night, your version had a profound calm-amazement effect on me.
I can only wonder what dynamics a little 'scratchpad', thumping, and subtle beatbox as percussion, would add to your version, but I also know the insane amount of practice it would require to perform it, much less taking the time to figuring out the arrangement, and to do all of that with someone else's original composition.
Maybe G.O.A.T. is actually worthy of someone taking the time to elevate it even higher than you have here. The possibilities are endless with such amazingly skilled artists as yourself, who make this stuff look easy.
But I think I'd rather see a video tutorial/explanation of how YOU take a simple seed of a melody, and turn it into your own masterpiece, and the steps, and considerations that you include, as well as the ones you toss aside while forming and composing an original piece. I think it would be very entertaining, as well as informative and inspiring to upcoming artists who have trouble building the foundation and structure of a good composition, before embellishing it with all of the licks and tricks they want to 'flex' as Tim says, and Flamenco is just the right style of guitar playing to show the world how to 'flex' like a true master.
Robert, you don't look old enough to have a son who is also old enough to have an intelligent conversation about Polyphia and/or the complexities of amazingly skilled guitar players like yourself and Tim Henson, but I guess these 'child prodigies' are getting younger and younger as time passes. PEACE
Wow…I don’t know where to start Michael…thank you very much for leaving your very interesting insights here. I’m in Granada right now recording my new album, but will revisit your post and answer you properly asap. Thank you once again!
That's impressive. Best GOAT cover so far on RUclips!
Wow...! Thank you very much João🙏🙏😃
I totally agree.
How is this cover not yet reach AT LEAST one million views is beyond me.
Damn Amazing cover! Wish I could liked it more than once.
Thank you very much🙏. The views are steadily increasing thanks to people like yourself and is much appreciated🙏🙏😃
The run up totally clean blew me away. Everyone plays the last half partially muted. Just beautifully played.
Thank you very much Dennis🙏😃
Beautiful playing - an absolute masterpiece in my book.
Thank you very much🙏😃
Holy shit that sweep part is so clean. The whole thing is. Sick playing man
Thank you very much🙏🙏🙏
Yeah, that last part is pretty great.
seriously, as a long time polyphia fan this here just blows my mind beyond explanation. Absolutely fantastic!
Thamk you very much!!! :)
Ive listened on repeat for months now and I cant get enough… absolutely astonishing, thank you for posting this 🙏
Thank you very much, so glad you like it 🙏😃
0:29 nice whammy bar on acoustic
That was the backing track lmao
I really hope Tim sees this one day. Hands down best cover of GOAT I've seen
Thanks Ian! He has and he definately likes it! He commented here a little further down:)
@@robertsvard8254 I saw his comment. Congrats!
This might be the best cover of any song I've have of ever heard. Your flamenco style infused version stands toe to toe with the original piece, absolutely magnificent.
Wow..! Thank you very much Colin. Your comment really made my day! Thank you🙏🙏🙏😃
We should pitch in and buy him shoes. This man deserves it
I like how he hits you with that eq right I
At the beginning. Like we're gonna need a bigger boat
The cleanliness of the fast part is astounding
Thank you very much🙏
this deserve so much more views, this is the best acoustic GOAT cover i've ever seen
Thank you very much! I’m so glad you like it🙏
i totally agree bro i never thought i could see a better version of GOAT
@@symondealmeida9454 🙏🙏🙏😃
Its prolly gonna blow up soon
@@armorgiraffe Thanks man! Maybe...that’d be cool!
one Fascinating thing about this arrangement is that you can play it from every second of the video and it will sound concise
I love that this includes a little bit of the same post effects. Very tasteful.
Thank you very much Logan! So glad you like it🙏😃
I can't believe some people had the nerve to dislike this
People that would walk into a bar and youd say ok that's a night I'm going home. Clearly no understanding about musicality and refined guitar practice the crispness in the rasguado takes years
I love your username so much!
Some people just have fat thumbs.
Maybe because they smashed their guitars after hearing this...
@@duzoid It happens. 😆
Those 46 dislikes are from Davie504 because he knows he can't beat this guy
Hahahahahaa!!!!
the attack on the strings tho 🤤🤤🤤
Just had to let you know I've been coming back to this for years. I recently spent some time in Spain studying Flamenco, which was partially influenced by some of the incredible crossovers I've seen with the style. I hear Tim was also inspired by your cover which must be an honor.
Aside from this being the best cover of this song. You did all the parts AND you actually played the whole song. Instead of just the intro, like everyone else on YT
Thank you very much! 🙏Yes I wanted to do the whole thing mainly to do Tim and his piece justice. While the main theme or riff is very cool, musically I think some of the other parts are more interesting.
As a guitar player. This is the most amazing thing i ever seen in my intire life
Wow. Thanks Thiago🙏🙏🙏
The flamenco variation is stunning
Thank you very much Louis🙏 So glad you like it.
I love the plucking sounds of the harmonics
Thank you very much🙏😃
He comes out of nowhere and drops this huge bomb like it's nothing! AMAZING work! His son must be so proud.
Thanks Nayah🙏
God dang! That sweep at 0:20 is even cleaner than the original, what a talent, superb work mate!
Thanks man:)
AND THE BASS SOLO! YOU ARE A LEGEND!
Haha thanks man! I did what I could on the bass🙏😆😆
@@robertsvard8254 you're a great bassist!
This guy knows his shit, beyond impressed. The amount of time put into practicing must be truly nutty 👏🏼
Thanks a lot Ian! And you are absolutely right- many hours of practice every day for many years. 🙏😃
This video proves that classical training and classical talent can accomplish anything.
Thank you very much! I think that having a good solid foundation to stand on, in terms of technique and “musical know how”,certainly helps you tackle any type of music that presents challenges.
I almost came when he played Scott's part. Mind-blowing.
😂🙏🙏🙏
This is one of the coolest covers I've ever seen. Fantastic work and raw talent.
For some reason I'm not at all surprised a flamenco player could play this👐🏾
Thanks Dylan! So glad you like it!😃🙏
This may be the best cover of the song I've heard so far. I don't know if it's because of the sound of the nylon strings or because of the incredible flamenco strumming but it just sounds insanely good. Well done man, you deserve way more recognition.
Thank you very much. I’m so glad you like it🙏
As a guitarist, GOAT by Polyphia amazed me and I was inspired to learn it. However, as primarily a classical and fingerstyle guitarist, your cover blew my mind. I’m even more pumped to try learning your cover!
Thank you very much man! I’m so glad you like it! Posted a tutorial a while ago of this version that might be helpful😃
I'd be interested to know what this would sound like with entirely acoustic backing, like having either an upright bass, or an acoustic bass. Fantastic cover all around, truly!
And now Polyphia made a flamenco and jazz inspired song "Playing God". Music is so amazing.
I actually gained more affection with the song after hearing this cover. This is amazing!
Thank you very much🙏 So glad you like it!
Definitely not an easy task playing the full goddamn song on a classical guitar! Love how clean that last part sounds!
Thank you very much🙏 So glad you like it!
The final, is magic 3:06. Great, very great...
Some flamenco technics and here you go
Man when he hit the flamenco shit at 1:07 my jaw legit dropped open. I'm no stranger to this style of right hand but it makes chord progression incredible.
Amazing cover. Well done, much less forgiveness on an acoustic than distorted electric, and probably even less on a nylon string vs. steel. I also love your liberties with the strumming rhythm.
Thank you very much for your comment! Like you said, I’ve also played it on electric and switching to nylon feels like playing a different instrument altogether. I added those strums to make that section a little more interesting, as musically nothing much happens there.😃
i think this video will make every stranger visit ur channel
I once played a Maiden song (Different World) on my flamenco and I hurt my fingers like hell. I couldn't possibly try a Polyphia on this one. Kudos to you sir!
😆, thank you very much🙏😃
Man... I've been playing guitar for 15 years, but only really *studied* the first five because of life stuff.. But this really wants me to go back to properly studying. Amazing arrangement, congrats.
Thank you very much Victor. That makes me genuinely happy to hear🙏🙏🙏😃
I was playing guitar for 15 years, but this inspired me to learn again
Great! Hearing that makes me genuinely happy! :)
Right hand technique is flawless. Great playing - nice to see technique and musicality co-existing.
Thank you very much Malcolm 🙏😃
This composition was probably the inspiration behind. PLAYING GOD.
😆😆🙏🙏
You nailed it!!!
Just a few days ago I was discussing with a friend of mine how nearly impossible it is to play some electric guitar pieces on a classic.
You blew my mind.
Thank you very much🙏! Indeed, some are worse than others though. This one is doable even though some parts are a bit tricky😃
Damn , ive been playing for nearly 40 years and this is the best I've heard... ever! So much talent. Where does someone go from here?!
Thank you very much Deon🙏
well, actual flamenco : )
Gotta thank this man because I think he was a major influence on Tim for his new song Playing God.......
God bless.
You know he's a dedicated guitarist when he grows out his thumbnail to use as a pick. Love this Flamenco twist on this epic song.
Thank you very much Jonathan! I’m so glad you like it🙏😃
As a guitarist I feel inspired and vindicated that my time focusing on this style of guitar is absolutely worth it!
Absolutely right Michael, and thank you very much🙏
Well if this is the result of you "trying" i think its safe to say that your SIR is flexing hard on us. Mad respect btw.
Thank you very much🙏Haha no flexing intended😃 Just wanted to prove to my son that nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it!
@@robertsvard8254 your son don't deserve to have an amazing dad like you dude, lol just kidding
Killing play by the way, props
@@rioerlangga9881 Hahaha! Thanks a lot man🙏🙏 Appreciate it🙏😃😃
Amazing
Thank you very much🙏😃
Ive been listening to this piece 4 straight times and I cant seem to stop....lol
Thank you very much! I’m so glad you like!🙏😃
Dude that fast arpeggio the third time through the riff was SOO clean. Nice job
Thank you very much Jacob🙏🙏🙏
I just want you to know I've been listening to this cover every single day on repeat for like a week straight. This is easily the most accurate cover of the song I've heard on youtube, not only that but you've really made it your own with the Flamenco style. The quality of the video is also phenomenal along with the editing. If you continue producing videos like these I have no doubt that your channel will become huge! :) Keep it up
Wow..! Thank you very much! Your comment made me very happy! Didn´t spend a lot of time on the video production, but I´m really glad you like it! Thanks once again, appreciate the support!
i love this too but it isnt really the most accurate. He added his own flare which is great but not accurate lol
@@xnafu Thanks man! You’re absolutely right😃. I allowed myself to take some liberties in an attempt to make some parts slightly more interesting on nylon.
@@robertsvard8254 oh this is nylon? whats the difference between linen and nylon
very cool. I liked that Tim commented as well.
Coming here back after Playing God was released. Can't shake off the idea that you turned Tim's head with this cover :)
Thank you very much Tomas. Not so sure but if that is the case, it would be very flattering 🙏😃
I can't imagine how hard it must be to play this with perfection just like you did, and adding your own style into the song, its simply amazing, congrats!!
Thank you very much Henrique! Not trying to flex here at all, but most of it is not THAT difficult. There are some sections that you instinctively feel are composed for electric guitar and pose some challenges, but none you can´t overcome:)
I struggle enough to comprehend the original song. This is on another level even beyond that. My mind is blown.
Thank you very much! I’m so glad you like it!🙏🙏🙏
Seriously though, I like this more than the original. Great job, excellent cover
Thank you very much man🙏
so i never commented on this vid but i come back to this cover every now and then and still as astonished as i pick up more little details of your playstyle. Props to you man, glad that the view counts are much higher now :)
Thank you very much for your kind words Farid🙏😃
CLEANSEST RUN I'VE EVER FUCKING HEARD AND IT'S ON A CLASSICAL GUITAR
Thank you very much Jack!🙏🙏🙏
Absolutely beautiful rendition. I've started teaching myself guitar and it's nice to see what the ceiling of talent looks like!
Thank you very much Connor🙏
And at 1:07 this cover became more than just a cover.
It became its own beast. And what a mighty beast it is >:D
Thank you very much man🙏
you aren't necessarily wrong.. but its a flamenco guitarist/guitar..
wouldn't really be flamenco without a little flamenco strumming..
Como guitarrista que toca la guitarra flamenca, me he sorprendido muchisimo por que ni yo sabia que este tipo de riffs diseñados para guitarra electrica se podrian hacer en la guitarra flamenca. Estoy a la espectativa de un "breakdown" sobre este increible video!!
Muchas gracias🙏 Me alegro que te guste!
