YES, one of the reason why their songs sound so great is cuz of how damn solid the rhythm parts are by the drums and bass. Obviously the guitar sounds great tgt with them.
@Jason Kim quantizing is a function for equalizing midi-recorded files. but you can edit timing on live guitar audio recordings by splitting/shortening/elongating/time-stretching or just recording each section of a song over and over until its perfect. so technically you cant use a (quantize function) but guitar is easily (edited) to have the same effect quantizing would have on midi files.
@Jason Kim I can say pretty confidently that there is some timing assistance of some sort happening on most guitar recording these days, even if it's not a normal quantizing.
yeah but i think they simply might have been nervous. i'm sure its very different and a lot harder to play at namm with so many guitarists in front of you just waiting for you to make a mistake.
Joel Blido I think it’s because at NAMM they don’t get their original rigs, just something close to it. Aaron Marshall is a monster but last year him and Plini had the same issue
This song is fantastic and technically challenging But Not having the bass/drums live Whatever settings the amp was set to And some mistakes Killed the song for a lot of people I don’t think they should be hated on for it But it seems that a lot of people here in this comment section felt the need to be toxic about it
Hard to believe the majority of thumb up comments are just hurtful towards such an amazing up and coming guitarist and band. Such a small minority of guitarists could even play a Polyphia intro, let alone whole piece, then LIVE! The drummer is so solid too! Why do so many partake in and promote tasteless hate?
Kinda sad the Bassist is never at any of these events with them. He's pretty damn talented too. Ive noticed they do some of the bass parts too but it just sounds shit with guitar.
I think hearing the mistakes and idiosyncrasies in live performances are part of what makes it good. It makes it more human, and I don't want to go to a live show and hear a 1-to-1 copy of the original recording. I appreciate every time they screw up, because it's part of the experience of watching them do it live right in front of you.
Man these polyphia haters never sleep. These dudes play guitar pretty good and made an album with a new different sound like they usually do. AlL tHeY dO iS pLaY nOtEs FaSt and arpEggIos haRmoNics aNd .Yes they are playing guitars... and they clearly are more talented than the average player. Its like people know that they are so good that they have to call them out when they miss one fucking note. I dont think they are the best but get your head out of your ass and remember its music not a fucking competition. Enjoy it. Also this is namm who really cares about a namm performance filmed on a phone.
I never understood how someone can have the temerity say "when you can play like (whomever) I'll take your comment seriously" but that same person, who has probably never picked up an instrument, considers themselves qualified to say (whomever) is the GOAT! o.0
@@chrisbauman2562 yeah man I've checked your channel and you're not up to these guys level. I don't think any of their stuff is basic to you and it is certainly not to me. Be humble please.
@@thomasxda5497 hahahahaha they aren't even playing anything in any musical sense, idgaf how many followers you have, if you suck,ya suck. I dont even care no one even knows who this shit band is, and if it wasnt for jason Richardsons solo they wouldn't even be looked at. And ya my taste in music is way different than theirs, i bet their idols are players I've never heard of before in my life and it shows in this trash, i literally put on my guitar and just played what they're playing,its just harmonics and a small sweeping run with a fuckin E minor
Tim actually mentions that he struggles to hit that harmonic in a 'How to play GOAT' video. This actually makes me feel much better when I manage to hit the notes when playing it.
Put your phone down an just enjoy the jam, i don’t know why people think they can’t just keep the experience to there self and enjoy it as something only you got to witness with your eyes an ears but that’s just me
I was phenomenal when I was a kid but there was no exposure through Internet back then The band I was in fizzled out on my girlfriend got pregnant andyou had to work really hard to get recognition and then I slept on it for many years not practicing keeping my chops up, continuing to get better with practice practice practice lost all my musician friendsOver the years after my son was born and my skills deterioratedAlcoholism and poor life choices didn’t help in this day and ageYou don’t need The planets to align quite as much as you did in that era late 90s early 2000s in order to get exposure now if you put up a couple really good videos and stay connected with musicians and have skill and continuously work on your craft you’re odds are much higher of actually having music be something that you can Keep doing without getting the “you’re wasting your time “ speech from everyone family friends etc. i’m only now at 38 just getting back to it and I wish I didn’t lose all that time But I have been putting in my 1 to 3 hours a day and watching some really helpful videos on RUclips that I wish I had when I was younger and things are looking pretty good edit: stay off the booze kids!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers!!
Dude, just the contrast of Tim’s physical playing and the sound that his guitar makes is enough to confuse ppl, but on top of that he’s probably best described as “cute” in the mating world…. with neck tattoos 😂🤘🏽 then of course the heavy hitters: being good at what u do & gaining visible recognition from society for that ……clearly a recipe for some potent Haterade!
The polyphia and chon signature models are all premiums actually. I imagine all of those guys probably also own other prestige if not j custom models too though.
Don't know if I've heard a half decent live rendition of any of their songs. I feel like they're more of a studio band. Also, that necc tattoo look weird af.
I think Tim transposes and a program spits out tabs and he’ll just play it on guitar , it’s honestly like a jumble of notes transposed in key of course , Sounds Good But a little gimmicky , Just a tad. ,great songs and catchy beats , Definitely different
They are fucking sick live. Look at any of tim's vids when he's doing a playthrough. I saw them a couple days ago for the 3rd time. Nearly flawless show. This song in particular is wack without the full drum and bass.
I am a guitarist. I’m in to it pretty heavily. I confess I can’t do this style or at least have never tried but I just can’t get into it. I want to like it but I can’t.
Fun fact: they actually buy 2 pair of matching dress. Thn they use them by spliting. Tims top and jesus’s payjama actually a set. They just split them up
I think they are the ones that will give guitar playing a slow and painful death... They have undeniable abilities but where is the soul? How do people relate to it? How is it timeless? Unique, yes. Unforgetable, No.

The asian lady to the left is unintentionally matchin Tim. haha wtf
At least you have a local Chinese buffet
Now I realize that it's the drums and bass that really counts in this album
They definitely sound best as a full band. Because all their stuff fits together like puzzle pieces.
Caleb Howard Thus is the beauty of progressive music🤘🏼
@@Mr.JaysBigAdventure this is the beauty of Music with a capital M
Well considering this song has a bass solo, it definitely sounds weird not hearing it. Also they played it pretty sloppy here.

Glad to see Tim make mistakes on that opening riff, it’s so damn hard for me to play with no mistakes haha!
Josh Petit this is nothing new for them. Not a very tight band live.
I think they spend more time writing than practicing or something.
I don't think they can play any of their songs without fucking them up
Its called Quantize....and they use it in the studio A LOT!!!
@Jason Kim quantizing is a function for equalizing midi-recorded files. but you can edit timing on live guitar audio recordings by splitting/shortening/elongating/time-stretching or just recording each section of a song over and over until its perfect.

I see
Gomez interesting
Polymer
They’re missing “Phi” & ”A”
Tim's Proud Mom with the phone on left ;) Even Wore matching clothes for his special day!
Scott looks like he just learned this song and dressed himself that day.
Thanks so much for this I missed it by 5 min. :(
I’ve seen Polyphia live before and it was awesome. This however, sounds like they haven’t practiced in weeks!
yeah but i think they simply might have been nervous. i'm sure its very different and a lot harder to play at namm with so many guitarists in front of you just waiting for you to make a mistake.

I thought it was pretty good I’ve seen them suck way worse
Garrettt hm, I never thought about if they were playing with their own gear or not. That would definitely mess me up too!
without concert background noise or drums, mistakes are easier to hear that's all.
2:45 tim had an eargasm
This song is fantastic and technically challenging
But
Not having the bass/drums live

And some mistakes
Killed the song for a lot of people

is amazing when musicians can perform and sound amazing with any instrument and in any place or set up
Technique- 8/10
How it sounds- 2/10
Exactly!!!
Very studio heavy on the effects of their guitars in the official version.
Or maybe it’s the guys non professional audio recording camera. No never mind that’s not it. 😂😂
Romeo Rivera I record in the same studio that these guys do and they literally use the driest guitar tone you could possibly use.
The guitars sound great. Maybe you're talking about the microphone?
They are so synchronized... it’s beautiful
I sure know now which tattoo not to get, but on the positive side, Tim's guitar might be the coolest new Ibanez
2:38 the "biddle-uh-doo biddle-uh-doo wah-whah whah-wahp" is so perty
I like how there’s just one guy in a beanie jamming to the song
Its actually crazy to see how much better theyve both gotten in the last 5 years, wish I was practicing as hard haha
the guy in the hat behind be like: am gonna learn the magic riff from its source lol
I can feel the studio force...
Fricking sheesh! Pretty awesome watching the mechanistic right-hand synchronization between the two. Almost mezmorizing!

This a perfect display of talent without soul
Tim was making love to that guitar!
Polyphia is straight gimmicky after awhile, sexy harmonics and justin timberlake high notes. Chord chord slippery slide arpeggio *Harmonic* repeat.
Their songs gets old pretty quick. They are insanely talented, but there is a reason I have never put any of their tracks on repeat ever.
Almost every song on their newest album sounds a like. It becomes boring quick so to say.
Yeah it gets old after a bit. I thought most hated was much better than their latest
Their riffs are creative as fuck, that's pretty much undeniable
Måsstaden Agree on that. But however it becomes repetitive as hell.
I am a guitarist. I’m in to it pretty heavily. I confess I can’t do this style or at least have never tried but I just can’t get into it. I want to like it but I can’t.
Good for you my friend. Don't get caught up in the polyphia hype. This is weather channel music.
