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.
Tim has gone on record saying there is bossa Nova influence so you're right on the money!
I see more Flamenco 🇪🇸
Thr loungy part is a bossa nova. Beginning is very flamenco
Tim said in an interview with Tyler of MusicIsWin he was going for a Bossa Nova feel when he was on the guitar villains podcast 👌
@Dragon Ball fans can't read lol, nice try.
It's crazy to think this song was played on a Nylon string guitar like for the harmonics to ring like that is insane
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.
Definately still sounds even good on clean nylon
He got a his sponsor to make a new signature series guitar. I want one bad the Ibanez
Tim Henson Signature Nylon Guitar
Actually, it's pretty much not difficult. Also because it's amplified. I can get them on a classical guitar without amplification. It's not insane
Say hello to compressors 😂
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.
My thoughts exactly. Flamenco goes *incredibly* well with a boatload of genres. First time I heard this I immediately thought I'd love to have seen Paco de Lucía play this with them.
“Have they always had this much hair?”
My man asking the real questions 😂
What’s more impt!!!
Tim's technique is so organic with his personality he can say everything he needs to through his guitar
Animals as Leaders' "Brain Dance" needs to make its way next at some point after this. Another track from a Metal band that uses nylon guitars in a fantastic way and mixing it in with some heavy and chunky riffs
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.
Excelle recommendation
My friend’s brother knows the guys in Polyphia and I’ve only heard that they’re some of the nicest guys in the modern prog scene.
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 think that Tim was inspired in the cover of GOAT played by Robert Svärd with a flamenco style
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
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!
@@charlesmiorino I’ll have to try that out. It’s still something that plagues me is just diving in without isolating sections and really nailing them down, and their transitions.
Someone described this song to me today as "Flamenco Metal". Thought you might like that one.
i recommend a new song by the band 'Architects', called "When We Were Young". also, the band 'Silent Planet' will literally change your life if you can ever get the chance to listen. love the vids, thank you!
The opening riff reminds me of a way more complex version of Hotel California. It’s weird cuz you have a Hotel California license plate on your wall.
they just get more powerful the more hair they grow.
Great reaction! For a technical sound on the level of polyphia with more flamenco inspiration, I recommend Syncatto's Coloratura album, particularly the opening track "Coco".
You should check out “Is It Really You…”- Sleep Token and Lothe. Its a beautiful and haunting song, i know you would like it!
If polyphia need a vocalist it has to be jesus, cuz they were playing god
Swing and a miss.
best thing about the reaction is you playing along on the keys and it sounding pretty good. usually when reactors play along it sounds weird
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.
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.
"Before the headbanging starts and I see the hair start to go..." Actual lol.
I've been to your channel before while watching Lawrence videos but the Dance Gavin Dance and Polyphia ones got me to subscribe recently. Love your musical insight and just how damn much you get into the music.
This is gonna be a good one 😁
Gotta listen to more of them! Also Chon and Animals as leaders!
Chon for sure! If you like Polyphia, you'll like Chon.
"Its not gonna come overnight" tell this to danny. The guy literally got it in ONE FUCKING NIGHT, the hole song, in a fucking ukulele............
Can you make a video.. that u playing along with this song in jazz style.. it will be DOPEEE
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...
They topped GOAT, this is next level, like when the mars volta hit the scene
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
If you consider Jimi Hendrix as godlike, he wouldn't even be able to play this. So that basically vouches for the title.
Judging by your piano skills, it would be awesome if you did a reaction to the build music from sims 1. Very beautiful and nostalgic.
Whether it's on your own time or for the channel, Playing God by Paramore is worth checking out
That's Bossa Nova influence! This song tastes like brazilian harmonies and groove!
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.
Holy shit man I've been waiting for you to do this
There has never been this much hair. Clearly, this is the best we have seen of them yet!
Even if you don't do a full video reaction to them, check out Tim Henson's "meditations." He'll pick a subject, like "Quintuplet Meditation" and grind for 9 or 10 minutes just drilling the idea.
Falling in Reverse dropped a new song today: Voices in My Head! Also, a couple weeks ago, Lorna Shore dropped another single which is outstanding: Sun//Eater. You should definitely check out both when you get the chance.
Yaya Lorna n fir
Falling in Reverse is thrash
@@vladimircorvera1284 lmaoooooooooooo
Was waiting for you to do this song! Tim Henson has made me give up guitar though 😂
Don’t ever ever give up guitar!
What nah !! For me its Tim and Ichika who makes me want to surpass them in the near future
Sick.
If you dig this, react to “Thrash” by Emery. They’re a post hardcore band, but the song Thrash is something diffffffferent from them. Give it a shot.
loved the reaction. Definitely nothing wrong with stopping throughout the video, that' s part of the process. A suggestion is to rewind 5-10 seconds every time you pause so that you're not missing the transitions and any specific sections. you just have to hit the left arrow key to do it, might help
Hey DAD... Ronnie just dropped a new video today! nothing like some falling in reverse to start off the weekend
DAAAAAAAD!!!!
You forgot Johnny Depp on Bass.
I really enjoyed your piano additions. Maybe Polyphia should try a few songs with a keyboard player.
These guitarists remind me a lot of John McLaughlin, so I agree with you - this is jazz.
I think it's called hybrid picking in Arpeggios scale using jazz chords with the rudiments of triplets, quadruplets paradiddle
Bradley Cooper and an anime character
Your hair looks good today actually :)
Aw, shucks, thanks
I really hope we can get another song like playing god with all the classical, flamenco and jazz kind off stuff. I do like their pop and trap stuff but this is more my vibe.
Please, for the love of god, stop pausing the song right on the breakdown or dropbeat. Seriously, you're killing the vibe. Just listen to the song and then give a review. ffs...
Totally agree, but RUclips doesn’t let us do that. Pause or get blocked
@@MusicShed I honestly didn't know that. Sorry for being an ass...
Another album or band worth checking out is Berried Alive’s The Mix Grape. Charles Caswell is on Tim’s level of guitar talent and possibly as a composer as well, I’ll let you decide that since I’m more of a vocalist.
I don't agree. Practise, nah. If you love the instrument, you will take on the challenges anyway. And they will FUEL you! ..... Ok so that's _kinda_ practise lol, but it's _always_ something that you do with love and passion, and _never_ a chore.
classical+jazz=flamenco
yes the hair... LOL. ngl, got visually attracted to them cause of the hair. had 0 exposure to Polyphia prior this song. 🙂
Can you do a reaction video to Justin Lee Schultz - do I do ? That's the most complex arrangements on Jazz fusion song, thanks before 👍
This is gonna melt his brain
Hello ! Can you react to Tupac - Dear mama? Its a song that he made for his mother, no swearing, amazing instrumental, the lyrics almost had me in tears
You should check out the band Unprocessed, they just released a new single called “Dinner” and they’re touring with Polyphia this summer. Seeing them in August.
He reacted to the song Real awhile back
@@FluffyThieves yeah you’re right I forgot haha
Luka? Wtf?
@@Reaper7mk Živjo
@@LukaTheDon77 😵💫😵💫😵💫
acoustic alchemy vibe type of music
Please react to "Love Is The Message" by Yussef Dayes, Alfa Mist Ft Mansur Brown & Rocco Palladino (Live At Abbey Road Studios)
I grow up with musicians families around (father was a drummer, and almost every band rehearsal he had I was there when I was a kid ~4-8years~) but I dont know how to play anything (had a few, like 5, drumm classes when I was 17 ~now 26~) but people say I've a "good ear" and every fkcing time I watch a polyphia react my body shivers. lol
Maybe am I a closet musician? lol (and I really would love to learn guittar and drumms)
And about the jazz part is Bossanova a brazilian music style that have jazz influence
FINALLYYYYYY I HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE IT DROPPED FOR YOU TO REACT!!!
The musicians need to get inspiration from Allen Iverson.
Are we talking about practice?
you know this guys a jazz musician when he starts his video by naming chords right off the bat 😂
Can you please do a reaction to Plini - EVERY PIECE MATTERS!!
Can you react to Snarky puppy's song .... ' Lingus' ?
They are amazing band !
Plz for the love of god, Ronnies done it again with a fuckin' banger dude! You HAVE TO REACT TO IT! It's "Voices in my head."
Polyphia are unique and one of my faves - and I get a major "Another Star' by Stevie Wonder vibe here - ruclips.net/video/K9KKBvWTdMQ/видео.html
Mac Miller - Cinderella
You need to check it out this musical masterpiece!
5:10 didn’t they all have like a Bieber 2007 cut?
One of the best bands instrumentally.
Your hair is definitely “sound engineer “ than “jazz musician “ 😆
Never call a Em9, Gmaj7/E its just wrong
I think I dpeak for everyone when I say your hair looks great, but long hair would hit different
Few seem to mention the Spanish flamenco influence.
Turbocharged girl from Ipanema
please react to Tim Henson's Sunset with cory wong and plini
I saw them live with Dance Gavin Dance last fall, and they were absolutely amazing!
You got to react to Dancing Like Flames from Lorna Shore 😮
Lmao you're exactly correct on the hair thing. I noticed that too! Rock and roll mullet on Tim looks dope.
Some people are just impossible to listen to, torture!!!!!!! Sorry but true.
Polyphia deserves a spanish passport for this
Thank you for the good words from 7:14 on. Very inspiring
wanna hear something different hear the persona 5 ost or the cover by casey lee williams
Please listen to bad omens and starset I think you would really like them and please listen to more Ice Nine Kills
Falling in Reverse (which I just re-discovered) has dropped Voices in my Head, which is... beyond words. And since your reaction videos are my personal favorite, I would love to hear your opinion on it 💖
Anyway, another great video, keep it up!
"before the headbaginging starts" HAHAHAHHAA
Esteban has found some equals!!
bro you paused at the worst time possible the first time around.
They Channel Herman lee’s guitar skill with their hair
Please react to Drone Corpse Aviator by Archspire
He pulls off neck tattoos like none other. God damn.
Jazz influence? How do you figure?
I’m sorry I’m gonna say this but I have to
“YOU LIKE JAZZZZ” 😏😏😏
I love jazz
Great video but my man has prosopagnosia
You should react to Manchester Orchestra and the Brook and the Bluff! Both are so freaking talented!
Pity you had to pause during the best bits without returning to the beginning of those parts
Flamenco intro is it right?
Would love to see a reaction to “Valhalleluja” by Nanowar of Steel. They’re a great band and from the same label as Jinjer
where can i see YOU playin chords??
Hotel California much?
Not enough hair on this chan
7:50 in other words: Slow is smooth, smooth is fast
You shoud see the cover made by Lucas Brar!!
It's a double entendre. Its Tim Henson being A playing god, or a god of playing.
It’s Satire on humanity. They’re a Christian band remember.
