    The fact that Tim mentioned to Rick Beato that he is having a hard time playing Polyphia songs on acoustic because of the steel string makes this cover even more impressive.

      I have always played 12’s on Electric - to be fair it makes the switch to Acoustic much more doable especially on this song. But this mad lad has a whole different galaxy of difficulty to play with

    • @frankthecat1671
      @frankthecat1671 Год назад +47

      Also the strings of an acoustic being much harder, its also a matter of how callused your fingers are. If you are playing almost exclusively electric you wont have calluses as evolved as when you play acoustic hence when you then pick up an acoustic it hurts the fingers more quickly and your fingers wont have as much strength as an acoustic player

    The most impressive part of this is how beautifully you arranged the slower, middle parts, and really bringing out the essential parts of every instrument, including the drums. I'd assume most people would be like "alright time to take a break and make this simple", and while the technical part is much simpler than the opening riff, the arranging you did withe percussive sounds and filling in the bass is spectacular. Amazing!

    For me this is the most impressive guitar cover of a song, tied along with Kent Nishimura's man in the mirror. Impeccable taste and technique. I can only wonder how many years of practice you must have to achieve this level of playing.

    I saw the video of Polyphia roasting the fan con covers of this song and when I saw your entry, I had to come and see the full video especially after Tim's comments and praise. An insanely fantastic cover of Playing God and on steel strings rather than nylon! Incredible. I am in awe of your skill and you absolutely deserved to win.

    This is just ridiculously good. Learning one guitar part is hard enough, but the fact you've managed to tastefully add percussion, successfully play the bass notes and capture the essence of BOTH guitar parts is just mind-blowing in every way. But it's not just that. It's the clarity of Every. Single. Note and the accuracy you play as well which is just jaw-dropping. Next level stuff man, well done.

    My guy this is awesome! Take some serious pride in a groovy and technical feat that is this dope track. Love the percussive elements, love the way you managed to weave many of the song's layered elements into a single guitar, love the techniques used. This is exactly the kind of style I love to do just way the hell better. Normally I get depressed and demotivated when seeing people be so incredible but this honestly was just too dope to not rock out to. Hard work well spent.
