Hi Sophie, I'm 30 years old, I started learning learning electric guitar a month ago. You are one of a few guitarists that have inspired me to learn. Keep posting videos like this because it really helps keep my inspired.
been playing for around a year..and im still not able to shred or do any of the cool stuff those iconic rock-stars can. but thats completely okay. mostly because theyve been playing longer..but the one thing us guitarists have in common is we all were on kind of the same page at the beginning. beginning was the most boring part of guitar for me, sitting there trying to play a specific chord progression and i just couldnt, but the more you practice the better you become and remember to go slow and dont try to push yourself like i did. check out Marty Music, been a fan of his for AWHILE he's taught me to play guitar, he has beginner lessions and has alot of song lessons that really go in-depth, and the most important part he breaks it down for beginners and goes slow, its very intuitive. good luck on your journey, and one more thing; if you ever feel like not playing listen to a song you enjoy, have the guitar in your lap and just start playing random stuff. that always gets me in the mood. cheers
@@guitarplayer1495 Guitarist of seven years here. Shred is under my belt now but i will say i didn’t progress for a solid 3 years. I lost interest and didn’t really practice for 3 years and i definitely could be so much better if i found something interesting to learn. stick to it and keep watching these great videos.
@@lucanealon1305 will do man, my dad has been playing since he was 15, and hes now 44? hes not the best teacher but hes definitely gotten me into it and showed me a few songs. to be exact i learned welcome home (sanitarium) by metallica from him, and he had a creed tab book i plan on looking at. not the best at tabs but that doesnt stop me from learning. i picked up a new guitar, a jackson to be specific. love this thing man my first very own guitar. i was using his old charvel, that thing was awesome. slowly getting better gear, and slowly getting better as a guitarist.
@@lucanealon1305 definitely, he's pretty proud at the fact I picked it up in a few weeks. i think I'm pretty much self taught, only asking him a few questions about pinch harmonics and other basic stuff. and using RUclips/reading chord books. like I said my dad isn't a good teacher at all lmao so it was pretty hard for him to point out my mistakes. but watching other people playing I tried imitating their style and its definitely lead me in the right direction. right now I'm not really sure what to do..I plan on being a metal guitarist, covering death metal, thrash and black. feels like I just need to learn to play the songs.
😂👍 You captured the struggle of every guitarist. We spend weeks, months, years to get something just right then in 3 months forget the whole song....lol Great Job. LOVE your cat 🐈
@Michelle Misanthrope its not. I'd partially agree that Sophie may already understand the riffs a bit because she listens to this music, but don't forget she's also been playing for a long time and can pick up how to play something without too much difficulty.
This video honestly is a sign to show that it's ok to mess up and that we all do it, no matter how long we've been playing. It gives that relatability for all players even if they've been playing for a long time. I feel like this is fun to watch in that sense, along with just watching you play in general. Keep up the great work Sophie! Merry Christmas! 🎄👏💙
Oh dude even the Polyphia bros will mess this material up after writing it and practicing 1000s of times. So if you’re learning it, mistakes are inevitable. It’s totally fine. As long as you keep going until mistakes become rare!
Honestly it's wonderful to see even the master class guitarists like you struggle through learning something new - makes these harder pieces feel more approachable and that we aren't failures as humans for not nailing it on the first or thirtieth try lol
Hi Sophie I loved the video and would love to see more like it. It shows how real you are and that we all sometimes struggle to get certain guitar parts down perfectly. Again my wife and I love your channel keep up the amazing videos.
Tim is great but unfortunately Scottie Le Page is overlooked often enough. Clay Gober is a monster on bass and the other Clay is super phenomenal on drums. Their previous drummer Brandon is amazing too. Everything about Polyphia past and present is amazing.
I'm glad Scottie showed up for the shred collab instead of Tim this time. I still was sad there was no Tim part, but Scottie deserves more cred than he gets and everyone seems to focus on praising Tim for the guitar. The Clays are also champs too of course, a total powerhouse of a band
Awesome vídeo, loved how you approached using the metronome to polish because how you got obssessed with the timing. It help me understands how to use it on my own learning sessions. Keep up and thanks a lot for it!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video! I love seeing other musicians and artists practice. Your experience was exactly how my first Polyphia song was. Haha it took me longer but great vid!
Keep it rolling! I am learning 50 songs for the new band and this is my process too. Until I have the muscle memory, it’s a real struggle to get to the song tempo. What I do is play the sections that are currently at 1/2 tempo every morning first thing after my warmup routine. Cheers!
Hey Sophie ! This video super inspired me to try it myself . I’ve just gone and attempted it on my channel and it’s fair to say you definitely done a much better job than me 😂 . It’s definitely a tough one . Going to play around with it through out the week and get a part 2 up when I can !
There’s millions of guitar players out there but only a small percentage with natural instinct. You Have it in droves!! Being able to emote through playing is something you do very well. It’s easily identifiable in your original stuff. I’ve been fortunate growing up hearing “Rubina” from Satriani or “As Time Slips By” from Vinnie Moore and those songs plotted the course on where I wanted to be as a guitar player. You are doing exactly what you are supposed to be doing and I thank you for sharing that with all of us. Keep on kick’n ass girl!! 😊
They have their tabs available on their website to buy, so you can support them next time if you plan on torturing yourself again or learning the rest of Goose haha. Wayy better than my attempt at learning it 👍👍 2 thumbs up
Great video! Please make more like these. Your covers are great but videos like this--that put your process and personality on display--are more interesting.
I would absolutely love if you made this into a full series. With Polyphia riffs primarily. They are some of the most interesting and obviously hard riffs to play. And great job btw:))
Honestly, this is impressive. Like taking in all of that music while trying to play along with it. I have to sit down and learn a few bars at a time of any song, and one like this I believe I'd have to sit down and go bar by bar. My brain just can't store tons of information at the same time quickly idk. Anyways, huge props to you and anyone else who can learn like this!
Not at all boring! Humble and informative. Not sure I dig the original piece of music but clearly it's a challenging fretboard exercise. It will be interesting to see if its melodic limits prove to be worthy of your time and efforts to push forward with the full muscle memory of your hands. 🤔. (i.e. So many songs, so little time).
Spent yesterday learning the intro riff to goat and the worst. The most demeaning part is getting right up to the end of the riff and your brain gets excited cause you have it and of course that's when you fuck up
Nice one, nice original vid idea. Go for a Allan Holdsworth song. Might be very tricky the finger stretching. Londoner accent? Send cheers to the World's end pub in Camden If. Nice nites over there lol
They’re playing the vocals on the guitar. For instance the beginning guitar solo after the intro in Playing God is not a guitar solo! It’s simulating a🔥azz rapper coming out hard AF and dropping the first verse! Their music is based on musicians writing ,composing and mixing all genres of music. Creating all the bass parts,vocal structures,guitar harmony’s ,hip hop rap and R&B vocals ,then playing them all at once, together on just a guitar done by one person ,or in this case ,individually buy each of the two guitar players. Polyphia simply mixes all genres of music ,their rock and rap harmonies and their vocal lyrics ,then all written,composed and played on a single guitar ,wether they’re live or in studio! It’s one man doing what a 5 piece band can barely all do together and it’s Ultra impressive to say least. Unequivocally this is next level complicated music with more emotion and structure than some give them credit for! The bottom line is It’s not just music but artistic writing and musical brilliance at some of it’s absolute finest and most genius! As a professional studio musician ,Drummer and lead guitarist I can say I both hear and feel the absolute magnificence of Polyphia! -Crisis
There's no much of that trial and error stuff that goes into learning things on guitar. It's refreshing to see a good player go through the process, rather than just see you kill it later
Learning goose made me good asf at hybrid picking, pain the the fucking ass though to learn how to do the technique and then the song. But much very goody practiceeeyyyy.
such a great song, their songs seem so easy 20 secs into learning FUCK, I think we got the same chair, soft weave ? I know this for youtube but, you should learn it till you master it /cant mess up not till you finally get it right but it was fun :)
This could be an editing illusion, but it seems like you're advancing bpm a bit too quickly. 2-5 bpm jumps so you can barely tell the difference will help solidify your muscle memory.
its interesting and motivating to see how even really good guitarists need a bunch of tries to learn something. sometimes(always) i feel like anti-talent because it takes me a while to pick up new stuff, this vid is a good reminder that even really good and advanced guitar players need some time to learn new song let alone beginner like myself
because shes a rock player and that pedophilya shit is a mix abput worse Stairway riff only speed up and some Indy shit,its not Music its disharmonic complicated thats all
A must watch video for all cover band singers who don't play guitar but suggest a set of new songs every week in rehearsal because the last songs we spent hours learning the week before were not to their liking lol
After watching your polished shorts it’s cool to see you fumbling through the struggles it takes to make good sound…very honest for an performer of your caliber… play on…
tabs never worked for me and this shows exactly why. I can't read phrasing. It's always been easier for me to look at the fret board while they're playing it or just learning it by ear. It's just easier to get the feel right.
I'm not at all at the level to play this, but after watching your video; I feel like trying to learn this song!! Thanks for the video, it's inspiring🙃 Does anybody know how you get that amazing tone tho??
Its nice to see you are human and get as tangled learning stuff as we do. Sometimes I watch videos and think 'why can't I just pick this up' we don't get to see this from anyone else. 😎
If theres any polyphia song you want to learn, i do have tabs i can send to ya. Ive been trying to learn tims cover of lalala by bbno$ and man, its fun
Mad respect, anyone who decides to tackle any of Tim's fuckery that he calls guitar playing is a winner in my book.
Been playing for 6 months, and after a week of practice I can play around 30 seconds of the worst by polyphia. It indeed is a huge mindfuck
@@sunshot2827 keep practicing bro 😎
@@sunshot2827 the fact that you can do that only after 6 months is pretty damn good
@@sunshot2827 Been playing for about 8 months and the fact you can do that alone is impressive, I’ve been learning the intro riff to ego death and that alone is killing me lol

Definitely make this a full series!
Question is, which song should I learn next!?
@@SophieBurrell Attempting to learn G.O.A.T. is basically a right of passage for Polyphia fans, I think that has to be up next 😅
@@trailblazer225 if she’s already tackling this goat will be a breeze it’s actually one of their easiest songs. Try O.D or Bad.
Honestly it's wonderful to see even the master class guitarists like you struggle through learning something new - makes these harder pieces feel more approachable and that we aren't failures as humans for not nailing it on the first or thirtieth try lol

Great to see how difficult it is to learn new tunes sophie i admire your skill🎸💖
Tim is great but unfortunately Scottie Le Page is overlooked often enough. Clay Gober is a monster on bass and the other Clay is super phenomenal on drums. Their previous drummer Brandon is amazing too. Everything about Polyphia past and present is amazing.
I'm glad Scottie showed up for the shred collab instead of Tim this time. I still was sad there was no Tim part, but Scottie deserves more cred than he gets and everyone seems to focus on praising Tim for the guitar. The Clays are also champs too of course, a total powerhouse of a band
@The Bozos it is by faaar the hardest part of the song to learn lol
Scottie has such a smooth feel and his chops are amazing. Definitely an integral part of both Polyphia and this shred collaboration!
Im glad some people appreciate Scottie's parts. Tim has the mainstream fame but Scottie at least has a cult following
Awesome vídeo, loved how you approached using the metronome to polish because how you got obssessed with the timing. It help me understands how to use it on my own learning sessions. Keep up and thanks a lot for it!
Yes, Soph. More of this sort of thing please!!
Always been a fan of the candid “real time/real life” moments. Really enjoyed it!

I love it I’ve been playing for 46 years it would take me around a week to be able to play that up to speed you rock girl
It was so great, this wasn’t easy, but you did it!

Great video! Please make more like these. Your covers are great but videos like this--that put your process and personality on display--are more interesting.

Any chance of covering some Randy Rhoads?
Yes please make a series of these videos learning new material, thanks.
That was great Sophie, awesome video 😀🤘🎵🔥🔥🔥
Hell yes make the series, watching a pro player learn/play a difficult song is great content.
Way to tackle the piece, Sophie!!! Excellent ear!!!!
How long was this practice sesh in real time?
That was great fun Sophie and really interesting. Arrrrrrh 😂😂. 2 hours 👏👏 Total respect brilliant 👍💯🤠😎
More polyphia learning process vids. Maybe even a tutorial on one of their songs
It was good to watch you progress through this piece.
I totally enjoyed it.
Thanks 👍
I think your awesome. I love your Tremonti stuff
There's no much of that trial and error stuff that goes into learning things on guitar. It's refreshing to see a good player go through the process, rather than just see you kill it later
'I dont like this tone" had me dying
I looked at the thumbnail & thought 'Ah, a British guitar player', then I had to stop & think about why I knew that...
It was the radiator.
Soloing with chords and sweep picking harmonics is difficult but not impossible!
Nice Job! I can do the intro of Grey Goose and that's it.
If at first you don't succeed... ... .. yada yada . Well done Sophie, love Bella too x

Thanks Sofie keep rocking
muscle memory, dedication and natural skill, are what makes a good guitarist a great one ;)
I really liked this video and would love to see more, my recomendation would be the bridge to Libra by Intervals.
enjoyd this toooo much. the cat stole the show a few times too ^_^

Eye brow game is strong 👌🏻

This riff took me an entire weekend before I could nail it.
Your Aamzing Sophie! We should collab! 🔥🤘
