    That s incredible... all youtubers trying hard to simply replicate Polyphia´s riffs and you deconstruct and reharmornize the whole song as if nothing...and in an acoustic guitar! (indeed lots of work behind scenes, but the result is great) clearly classical, jazz and flamenco years of training pays off when showing such high level of virtuosity and makes the hardest things look so easy... also great to have you back making great videos, this one is from now on one of my favorites...

      @bigf0ot25 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +39

      Classical guitarists have always been more technically proficient at the instrument than electric guitarists as electric guitar as electric guitar music is typically arranged with accompanying instruments in mind where as classical guitar approaches piano in the sense that classical guitar usually has no accompaniment, relying on the guitarist to cover all of harmony, percussion and bass. Different skill sets so you cant really compare the two and both fill different niches of phonic production and possibility but at least as far as technical ability (which as an aside is the single most useless metric for music as art is supposed to be concerned with a conversation with the observer, not a lecture on how good the artist is), classical guitar wins every time

    • @mrtoast244
      @mrtoast244 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

      @@bigf0ot25 yea, Tim Henson is classically trained and used to play in a youth orchestra, but, his style grew (after learning to play rock/metal) to include the rest of the band (who are also really talented) so it's a given that solo Guitarists who are used to playing solo are more proficient on their own. As a whole though playing as a band lets you elevate your music as it's less restrictive with the amount of options you have. Though, it does restrict you in a different way, because you have to balance all the instruments, but it's easier when you have multiple experts in those instruments to help you.

      do they? it's already jazzy, in fact the original tune has like 2/3rds jazz, if anything feels a bit like yacht jazz, or jazz/flamenco for being like that - idk, i feel like this guts the song of a lot of the grove, which idk i'm finding myself more and more confronted with jazz being like rhythmically pretty bland, cool chords tho :)

    Such an outstanding rendition of an already outstanding song!! Once the jazz made itself present, it brought back whisps of forgotten memories of guitarist Andrew White's 'Peppino Noire' and 'Spanish Gentleman", and even a little bit of 'Minor Swing' from the Chocolat movie (orig. Django Reinhardt, updated interpretation by Rachel Portman for the film) all from quite a few years ago at this point, but wrapped all together with your skill it sounded incredible and a lovely unique take on the song! Well done!

      Augmented can work using it as a Dominant chord function back to the tonic most of the time. So like a sub-dominant chord. Generally speaking ofcourse.
