Thank you I love y'all
Thank you everyone for watching!
Also, « time to master » means the time of practice from the memorizing to the recording.
I made this video before album 4 which is coming soon and I can't wait!
I bought all the tabs and backing tracks I could on Polyphia's official website. polyphia.com/
Here is their RUclips channel: @Polyphia @TimHensonW6RST
Yes I need a new camera but I get 0$ from these videos sooo..
I also played death note in standard 7 because I hate down tuning my Floyd rose.
That video was extremely challenging to make and took around 7 months of practice.
All the riffs are playthroughs of my audio recordings to make sure my audio quality is as high as possible.

Also, I really like that you showed mistakes. Makes it feel more raw and human haha. keep in mind that Tim doesn't even play these riffs perfect live. Youre a really talented guitarist to even be able to hit 90% of the notes
Yeah right, tim is so amazing and I love him and his music so much but i’m trying to show to the world that no one is perfect and some of these riffs are almost impossible to play perfectly. I don’t have any shame in making some normal mistakes and I want to show to the world that it’s normal!
Tim is probably in my top 3 favorite guitarists for that reason too, I like that he doesn’t care about making some mistakes because it’s normal, that guy is a legend✌️
@@hubertdrapeau him and ichika into are the best
@@ZA-di2pb You forgot about Manuel Gardner Fernandes))))
@@hubertdrapeau Yeah I really feel you are human like me. not a god level ,I felt that I’m sucker at guitar while watching them hahaha
"It's a repeating pattern so you get used to it quickly"
Time to master: 20h
Ahahahahah yeah, it felt fast to me
20 hours isn't much. That's actually impressive!
This kid clearly doesnt know what hes sayin
@@boxexaswtfpunk Hey stop hating, you said it yourself he's a kid and already outplays most of us
@@loupcordeille-bougault3474 He replied to the creator of this comment thread, not the creator of the video. He’s not hating
Guitarists are truly masochist. The fact that we would spend so many hours to learn just 10 seconds of music, yet for us is the most satisfying feeling
Yeah right, I’m like sitting for hours practicing a single lick
Summed it up perfectly
I alway chill on youtube or watch anime while practicing
Violinists are truly masochist...
Tried playing my first Polyphia riff (40 Oz) for 2 weeks to master it. After that, GOAT was easy, but that was so masochist
You say as a metal guitarist you’re not used to playing Tim’s stuff, but I think that probably applies to 99% of guitarists even if they’re good. That being said you went far beyond the average guitarist
Thanks man that’s really appreciated✌️
Haha! I’m the 1%. I’ve only been playing guitar for almost 3.5 years now and I started right out with this weird guitar music but I tell you what I’ve gotten so freaking good because I started out with it. I love this before he started playing and I slowly got really good at this kind of music
@@baberhamlinkon9738 I started out with Megadeth and Metallica rhythm (I'd like to think I'm a pretty solid rhythm player for that kind of stuff) but this stuff is so foreign to me so I'm a bit nervous lol. Can't wait to get a strat so I can get back to trying this and some Chon stuff 🙏🏽
@@AlmostLakai94 same. Started with Metallica black album and then got dropped into the first 4 megadeth albums. Exodus, Testament, slayer, etc. And none of it prepares you for this. To be honest it's easier to learn some Jimi hendrix songs. Which is a good start to getting these chord then riff runs down. I'm a huge children of bodom fan and playing some of this polyphia feels like a "Children of Hendrix" style.
i used to play classical guitar and it help a lot with his hybrid pick. but their song still pretty hard ngl
I actually got accepted to uni by plaing "The worst" and wrote my own solo after the main riffs, good shit
Keep it up dude!
Yo i’m so happy for you man good job✌️✌️
Epic
Post it on your channel, I beg you!
What? This is a thing?
@banana it was the University of Westminster, and tbh I dropped out and going somewhere else rn lol
When I first learned GOAT, it was like hell. Now that I‘ve learned (and also failed at) some other Polyphia/Tim stuff, I‘ve gotta say that GOAT is actually not that hard compared to most of the other stuff
I would agree. I’ve learned most of the riffs played in this video. GOAT is the only one I can play cleanly most the time. (Cleanly meaning 95% of the notes) And saucy for some reason. I’ve practiced the Jared Dines riff more than any by far and it is insane.
I tried to learn GOAT for the first time and I get desperate. After that i learned 40 oz, after mastering it, learning the main riff of GOAT was so easy, now i'm learning Goose and is so easy and fun to play
True playing god is harder
Yeah same goat got me into electric guitar (previously acoustic player). Was hard for a bit then I tried polyphias other stuff and gotta say it's way easier than some of their other stuff
Can relate
Seeing you play these makes me realize how batshit insane it is that Tim and Scott write this shit and then go "oh cool, no problem we can just play this live every night"....
Yeah man I just can’t comprehend ahahahah
I think that it's kind of easy for the composers to memorise their ownpieces, here it's the same thing like with poems: it's insanely hard for a student to learn a poem by heart and perform it with a proper intonation, whilst the artist has all this stuff in his brain already when he tells his poems, it's like walking through the maze you composed yourself xD

Some girl: Haha, nerds? they can’t do anything impressive

How did you know I was a nerd?
@@hubertdrapeau dude, u literally played 10 polyphia riffs on guitar, which i was only able to play in OSU!
Worst comment of 2021
@@tjgadner8896 very self-critical of you
@@owley eh?
Why am I not surprised the most difficult riff here was played by Ichika?
It isn’t actually close to the hardest riff trust me, not even top ten. It’s just a bit tough for him since he’s a more metal guitar and that genre is exactly the opposite
Coming soon, 10 hardest Jason Richardson's riffs ?
😂
If this one took 7 months to make, that one would take 6 years?😂 You guys are trying to kill me or what?🥲
Possibly a video like that destroy youtube
Let him sleep for 2 months... After these crazy 7 months practicing he exhausted... Let him take some rests... Afterthat he will think about that...
@@bodhisattwachanda3436 Me sleep? I'm already preparing another video lol
@@hubertdrapeau This is why I said "You are the Man"... I'm now getting inspiration by seeing your dedication... Bt bro... Take care of your health also... Health comes first always...
Crazy how background really affects how difficult some songs are for us. I come from a more classical/fingerstyle background of playing guitar, and this list was almost completely reversed for me. Death Note especially was considerably easier for me to learn as it just felt naturally comfortable, but most of the songs in the first half of this list seem like they would be a nightmare for me to even start. Great video!
Thanks man! That’s so interesting to see how people are different✌️
"Techniques: math rock, actually" that made me laugh.
Ahahahah😂
As I already mentioned, you're an example! Hats off to you for all the time and effort you put into this video!🤘😁
Thanks a lot✌️✌️✌️
That was the most challenging video I ever attempted to make and even if the riffs are not perfect, it’s human to do mistakes and I’m really happy with it. Also, with the « time to master » thing. What I wanted to mean is « time to learn the riff properly enough to record it » and the first word that came to my mind was « master ». My main language is french so sometimes I have a hard time expressing myself in english✌️.
Thanks for supporting me guys and don't forget to like and subscribe!
Animals as leaders or Jason Richardson would be lit
MY dude, you killed it! I am super happy to see Ichika's riff here too. I feel like Death Note is the most underrated track on the New Levels New Devils album.
@@uk5679 yeah right!
Want a harder challenge. Top 10 hardest berried alive riffs.
You did a pretty good job tho, no worries 👌
Rhythm 9/10
Clean play 10/10
Smooth finger 10/10
Time to practice 10/10
Tone 3/10
I’m 100% with you on the tone and I would give myself maybe 7 on the rest✌️ I just don’t really know how to make a good clean sound tbh, can you help me?
@@hubertdrapeau lmao i didnt know man cuz i'm a classical guitarist. Btw i like your vid about you playing bloody hard riff etc, its entertaining watching some dude learning some hard shit to play and actually manage to play it
@@1ust367 ho thanks man✌️ it’s just that making a good tone is so much harder than it seems. Sometimes it seems to be good but it’s actually not, sometimes it feels bad but it’s actually good, anyway ahahah
@@hubertdrapeau yo I'd love to help if you're still interested
Yeah man that would be great
this video slapped bro. love your content! keep it up
Thanks for watching my video dude that’s appreciated!✌️
That was crazy. These impossible and hardest riffs videos are simply amazing. I love how you put the "time to master" on each one.
What about an Hardest CHON riffs video?
Greetings from Brasil.
I could definitely take a look at this✌️ Thanks mate that’s appreciated
Thanks man i was feeling a little discouraged after trying to increase my speed on the 40 oz intro for so long i guess its nice having someone acknowledge its hard good job sticking with it
After 10 months of playing guitar and learning GOAT and 40oz, I'm glad that I wasn't alone in getting every harmonic clear in GOAT and 40oz's sweep picking part(which he recorded doing alternate picking?!). Super useful to know your take on them relative to his other pieces, thanks for the inspo!
Bro I know that now it may seem like it's not worth it for 13k subs, but when someone is as talented as you and so young, there's just no way ur not gonna blow up sometime soon
Thanks man that’s really appreciated✌️
These are some insane riffs, and some of my favorites, we'll done bro, keep jammin'
This is really good man, and totally agree with you on the worst. Easy to learn the notes but takes a lot of practice to play at full speed.
Yeah right, thanks man✌️
so awesome! thanks so much for posting, i'm getting into learning a couple polyphia songs to better grasp certain techniques and this was a great map for what to expect/which songs to tackle.
Wow man, nice craftsmanship! 100% spot on with the shed collab being the best lick in the arsenal. You killed it! Cheers
Fucking amazing, dude. I think Polyphia has improved more than any other band (that I care about) in the past decade.
Yeah right, they are amazing writers, I don’t think any other band will be able to write creative stuff like that.
@@Bacardi_shake Ill take a look at this man thanks!!
Super dope !! I can't wait to see your attempt at the new album riffs
fire video, every aspect of it is great
You are incredible, This is an insane video. You're actually taking the steps many guitarists dream of. You and I both have a ton of respect for Tim, but jesus this reveals some of the insanity he has. You've worked your ass off and it shows. Thank you for making this video. Hopefully one day Tim may carry us all with his ascendant form to the next heightening.
Yo thanks man that’s really appreciated✌️ I hope one day I will create stuff people will listen to like tin does✌️
Insane Imma go practice now!
Ahah that’s the secret man!
The longer this video goes on the more I find myself backing up to listen again. What a beast, man.
Yo thanks man that’s really appreciated✌️
Dude you’re an amazing guitarist. It blows my mind how much time and effort you put into this video. I can’t believe that this music isn’t even your core style. You, my friend are one talented musician. Awesome playing Hubert.
Cheers Paul
Thank you so much dude that’s really appreciated! Like anything, it’s all about keeping the focus and the dedication✌️
he is not an amazing guitarist dude ahhaahahhaahahah
UNREAL my guy
*Your tone is cleaner than my room*
It could definitely be better🤷♂️
hahshah finally the video I was waiting for the third part g
I will start to work on it now! Polyphia is so amazing though, they deserved a video for themselves.
Love that you put the time to master in it. I've been learning some shit and I'm on like hour 20 and I feel like other learn it so much faster.
Good job on The Worst. The intro riff is really hard to get down smooth, I've been playing it as a warm-up riff for years and it still doesn't sound like Tim Henson. The other solo riff in the song is pretty hard, too. Haven't practiced that one nearly as much.
this was simply AWESOME!! 🔥
Thanks✌️✌️
if you really want to suffer, in the recording of 40oz Tim alternate picks that part you sweep. tbh I dont blame you I cant even wrap my head around doing that
What?!?!?!

@@arijitmazumdar5740 this guy is a monster, I don’t even see how it’s possible, I just tried it lol
Since I've seen the video I haven't seen anyone else alt pick that part. And she sits there leaned back just jamming it out.
just pure greatness. Perfect man, keep on!
Thanks man✌️
Keep making shredding video man
Love your tecnique
Not gonna lie, Tim makes it all look so easy and you killed this. These are insane riffs, keep it up man. Kudos sincerely.
The thing that amazes me is that people actually create this stuff. Especially with these riffs in particular, how is one even able to say “yeah, that’s possible”?
Liked the bonus track, nice touch and of course I’m always here for GOAT. 😂. Great job!
Really nice playing! Your techniques were super well rounded. :)
Thanks a lot✌️
Soooo insane ! You're amazing, like all your videos ! Kiss from France 😘
Thanks a lot🤙
You are a crazy player and I'm happy to have found your channel.
I’m happy you’re there my hommie welcome🤙
Your videos are so sick, keep up the awesome content my man !!!
Thanks a lot!!!
Amazing job as always. You inspire me a lot. I am still not at the level to even try learning their riffs but i'll get there some day
For sure you will man there is no doubt!✌️
@@hubertdrapeau thank you! I'll keep practicing!
Awesome stuff man!
I am here still trying to master the OD riff after like a year hahaha it is freaking hard
Yeah it’s freaking hard, it was a nightmare to memorize lol
Dude!! This is amazing!! You're rare talented guitarrist here in RUclips!! Congrats!!!
Thanks man that’s really appreciated!
Hell yeah man it's awesome to see another one of these videos from you, it's funny because I started learning some of these riffs because of you playing them and now I'm almost at your level on the ones I learned and it's still funny to me that you find saucy so hard compared to some others when the worst for me is OD
Yeah right, for me playing fast is not a problem, what I find hard is stretchy chords and harmonics mixed with everything✌️
You killled this shit bro. Never seen anything like this even attempted before tims stuff is just so different than anything else
You’re already obviously skilled but I feel like a year from now, you’ll be able to play stuff like this perfectly. So much practice time! Well done
Yeah right! I hope so ahahah
love the raw playing, it really shows the difficulty of these riffs when someone so clearly insane on the guitar still doesn't make it look easy
Thanks man yeah I wanted it to be as raw as possible
Good shit Hubert, very dedicated!
Thanks!! A little bit too much I think ahahah
Bro, Ive been working my way through all my fav polyphia riffs, youre an inspiration. So far James Franco has been the hardest, with richardsons solo in nasty right behind it
Thanks man! I didn’t even know james franco and the nasty solo is also crazy! I played aviator in the past
You're nuts god dayum
Incredible job
I had a feeling the bonus riff was going to be the shred collab one. God it's so infectious.
It’s just too good😂
Amazing bro 👏
Thanks man✌️
Very nice bro, keep it up
Thanks man🥸
My guy, this is nuts. The hybrid picking is something I cannot get my head round AT ALL, like the tapping is about all I can muster. Fantastic job dude.
Thanks man and don’t worry, you will get it✌️
@@hubertdrapeau I'll certainly try, ngl after watching this video I watched a bunch of your stuff and now my guitar has materialised in my hands even though it's nearly 4am. You are an absolutely insane guitarist, I eagerly await what's to come from your channel; do you have a Patreon yet perchance? Also, just read that your first language is French, so to that I say "Tu es un putain de musicien incroyable!"
@@valiantdiesel1332 you can come on instagram, we can chat there my dude
You got yourself a new subscriber! Love Polyphia great work! My fav song of theirs is Champagne!
Nice to see you again 👌
Thanks for being there man that’s appreciated!
Woah man, these all are epic 😍😍😍 well played sir!
Thanks sir✌️
I can see the sense of relief you get when you finish a riff and cant wait to hit that record button to stop recording. We’ve all been there haha. Awesome playing man!
Yeah right ahahahah thanks man✌️
Bro respect to your dedication
Thanks man✌️
What I love about this is although it’s not perfect it’s damn good enough that you can post these and be like yeah I did that I really took the time and learned it of course cleaning it up is the goal and making them sound “perfect” but I think it embodies playing and learning something difficult really well, extremely well done hope to play all of these myself so far I can only do the worst, goat and saucy. O.D is next keep up the good work man
Yeah right thanks man!✌️ I don’t understand how I can possibly play then better than that though, they are so difficult ahah..
Bruh this is so good!! You need to make an updated video again
Yeah, that's really what I needed.
I’m happy to hear that man✌️
The hardest thing I see people having problems with in youtube is playing with a metronome. This in the other hand was very good and accurate
now we need a CHON version of this vid, nice one man, you are one of the goats out there
Thanks man but i’m not, I’m actually just a cover guy and i’m not even near their talent😂
This is the kind of flex I want in my life
give this man a contact list and he will play it
was is that supposed to mean? ahahahah
@@hubertdrapeau like the phone numbers idk what its called im not so fluent in english
Awesome skills !!
loved it 》D
Thanks man✌️
Well done my dude! Keep playing
Damn I knew you'll do this vid but holy I'm still shocked
Mad respect 🙏
Ahah how did you know? Thanks✌️
That was awesome!
Thanks dude✌️
This motivates me. Showing your human side that it takes time to master those riff. Awesome content man even though I think I wouldn't be able to master those riffs even with that span of time. HAHA
Hahah! It’s all about dedication
the thing bout the worst is so true, i learned it really fast, but to get it perfect on camera, it's hard as fuck to not make a single mistake especially the harmonics
Yeah right
Great video! Your playing is really really solid, the only thing that I would say needs work is the tone. Tim has a plug-in out, which admitaddly wasn't out when you recorded this, but it contains most of the tones him and Scott use.
Yeah I thought about making the whole video over when it came out but, it took so much effort that I just dealt with it ahah
Great 💙🙌🏼 long way to go. 🥂👍🏼
this is awesome dude
Thanks man🐙
its a nice change of pace seeing someone be honest about how long it takes them to learn a hook from a song or a riff; i feel like a lot of people on youtube are keen to say that they knocked out O.Ds main riff in 30 minutes or learnt the sweeps in 40oz in an hour, its discouraging to hear that for an intermediate player.
Yeah right, I wanna show to people that it’s hard for everyone! Jason Richardson inspired me a lot for that, he says himself that he literally practice licks for weeks to get them right✌️
@@hubertdrapeau gotta lot of respect for you man! much love
vraiment incroyable ! je crois pas que tu as fait dix riffs de polyphia dans une video. DIX !! je crois pas. bien joué !!
Merci beaucoup elizabeth!! C’était vraiment beaucoup de travail🥲
I’ve waited a year for this video
Same here😂
this was amazing, great playing, all those hours and it def shined, that 40 oz was the truth.
Yeah right, 40oz is a monster
@@hubertdrapeau give me twice the time to figure it out, i might give you less than half the part haha
Nan you will probably play it better than me ahah, my take was kind of garbage but thats the best I could do😂
You know a guitarist is good, when his tone is ok. 5/10 Tone and 10/10 dedication to clean chops.
The king is backkkkkk
✌️
Keep hustling🔥🙏
Thanks oli on se voit au bike en fin de semaine!!!
@@hubertdrapeau yessss el hub!!
You are the definition of a boy who practiced 1000 kicks at the same time instead of practicing one kick 1000 times
As I wrote to you on IG, this is insane.
Thanks again my dude
Respect.
Insane bro🧗
thanks for the tabs in slow playing
nice, something to start playing my electric
Loved it! I really wanna see jason Richardson next!!
I’m working on part.3 right now!
Damn bro... This motivated me to practice more
I’m happy to hear that man✌️
It would’ve been cool to see some of their older stuff too, but overall great video my guy
XD i found myself learning most (and only) riffs that u showcased in this video. Even when you specifically learned some parts of saucy and goose but not the whole thing :’)
You have good taste !
You should try the riff he created with NoTust, or the part he played in Jason’s Upside down
