    The Latin vibe I get from this song is sooo strong like an almost Bossa Nova-esque style and then the infusion of the Jazz chords in the bridge was so tasteful. Polyphia are honestly the complete package with so much variety to their sound. Genuinely unbelievable talent.

    • @metalarms98
      @metalarms98 2 года назад +44

      The piezo pickups on their nylons are doing some of the heavy lifting, they are also likely using compression to help bring out the harmonics.
      But most importantly, they have solid technique.

    As a Spaniard I would be remiss not to point out the incredible Flamenco influences this song has. It's like they took a little bit of a lot of genres and made it entirely theirs.
    Polyphia are on a level of their own and their craftsmanship and writing are really something else.

    • @hedlund
      @hedlund 2 года назад +11

    • @Todesnuss
      @Todesnuss Год назад +1

      Tim from Polyphia actually got some chops directly from AALs Tosin Abasi. Wouldn't surprise me if they also inspired them to develop those jazz influences. Pretty sure Tim was listening to animals long before Tosin taught him the thump.

    i could be wrong but i believe the initial inspiration behind this song came from Tim watching others cover his songs, he was absolutely blown away by the acoustic cover of nightmare by Evgen Tsibulin.

    I’m pretty much self taught in guitar. I’ll be honest, I wish I’d had someone like you tell me just to take it slow and get good with repetition and then clock up the speed.
    Learning hybrid picking has been SO much easier just taking it slow and not trying to dive in at 120 bpm :P

    • @charlesmiorino
      @charlesmiorino 2 года назад +3

      One thing that helped me learn tough passages, was to start at the normal speed (with a met), and then slow the met down a couple clicks every time that you play through the passage. Then, after you've gone down to a ridiculously slow tempo, bump it back up to the starting speed! It's a bit counter-intuitive, but it's a really helpful way to practice!

    • @moviebad109
      @moviebad109 Год назад +2

    This is a breath of fresh air to those of us who appreciate virtuosic music. I grew up on Rush, Yes, and ELP, etc., so this level of musicianship is what I look for when I seek out new groups to listen to.

      Yup, this is the first time since bands like Yes that someone has pushed the boundaries while still being very easy to listen to. I'm only speaking for myself here but this is thrilling to see what I admired 50 years ago being pushed to another level of virtuosity.

  • @lyconxero457
    @lyconxero457 2 года назад +7

    As far as their hair goes, most of the videos you've likely seen are from 3-4 years ago so they've had plenty of time plus a pandemic to grow out their hair. Tim Henson in particular has a large plethora of tattoos now that many people who only saw their previous videos thought appeared out of nowhere even though if you followed him you'd see that they, like their hair, was a steady progression over time.

  • @willhart4762
    @willhart4762 2 года назад +5

    Yes, their technical command is excellent and their musicianship is top level. But, playing god, suggests something far more, new, breakthrough, something we haven't heard before. Like Jimi Hendrix coming onto the scene and revolutionizing the guitar and rock. I don't hear that I hear that, stripped down I hear Flamenco and Brazilian jazz...

    • @mosiharamirez6406
      @mosiharamirez6406 2 года назад

      You said yourself, Jimmy did revolution the guitar and rock, which, stripped down was just rock, what changed it was the techniques, the style and the way he used them to flavor and spice something that was there already. Same can be said about polyphia, yes obviously anyone with a sense of music diversity can tell what style of music they are being inspired by, but the way they play it, the way they mix it with completely different genres and, sounds and techniques, just makes it as fresh as it can get.
      They also don't just do it with their guitars, which we all know they are at the top (with some others) on raising the game for others, in showing what else can be done and pushing the guitar, as an instrument to its limits. Their percussion game is also on another level. The way that and the bass are used to a lot of times implement a mix of rap/trap beats to their tunes is truly something new, especially when they do it with genres no one ever thought to add that kind of stuff to. They combine so many techniques, so many rhythms, so much stuff a lot of times in one single piece, it's crazy. I'm sure Jimmy would have been so filled with joy to see what these guys are doing and how much more effort they are putting into growing and evolving the way one can play the guitar. that goes for every other guitarist that is on this level.
      At the end, I feel most new, fresh stuff perhaps... It's just a combination of many things that already existed but used in a completely new and unpredicted way. thus, something new is born. Just a different perspective

  • @hamsicle
    @hamsicle Год назад +1

    As a violinist, I'll just comment on the technique part. If you really want to become better at this kind of stuff, it's much better use of time to practice arpeggios rather than scales. Scales are great, and they help but if you can play arpeggios in every key, you will be better than 80% of musicians out there. The rest is learning how to apply it to the music you're playing. It improves all aspects of your playing including sight reading. You start to see the shapes and patterns in the music and can more easily play what you know.
    Learn your arpeggios in all keys as well as the inversions and you'll be golden my dudes.
