Im a 64yr old rocker since age 8, Tim dont let this go to your head, But your guitar is only the fifth step of inavation from guitarists in my lifetime, in order, Hendrix, Jimmie Paige, David Gilmore, Shawn Phillips and you, As you can see, it has been along time since ive seen anybodys playing bring something totally new. Thank you, keep it up, be cautious of success, that and drugs have put an end to so much talent.
Tim, could you make a video about: - how you practice - the scales you use - what exactly helped you shape your unique way of playing the guitar We admire your style so much and I think everybody wants to see a little bit of the "behind the scenes" of your practicing and how you shaped the way you play
It would be nice, but I think theres no such unique thing that helped him shape his unique way of playing. There must be a lot of things, thoughts, technique exercises, psychological predisposition, etc., that made him develop his style.
@@melodica5407 You don't need to crack Reaper; they technically allow you to use it past the 60 days "evaluation" period. However, it's a good idea to purchase it to support the engineers since its a one-time charge; they aren't bleeding your bank account like Pro Tools with their annual fees for updates. P.S. It's only $225 if you're in the music business making $20k+ a year; otherwise you can just get a normal $60 license.
The new sound of Polyphia seems to be the greatest thing I will hear in this decade. Just listening to this and the teaser that Tim shared months ago get me impressed. It sounds like Prog-Flamenco. Something weird and never heard. This band is more than awesome.
I love heavy bass and hard hitting drums from hip hop but I also love melodic guitar from metal. This is an excellent fusion and looking forward to future album
Guitar: Ibanez SC500N The SC500N is an S Classic series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 1998. The SC500N is nearly unique among modern Ibanez solid body guitars in that it has nylon strings and eschews magnetic pickups for piezos; only its predecessor the J Custom SC-GUT is configured similarly.
Not going to lie, it took me a fat minute to find that guitar. When I first watched this video I instantly fell in love with the sound of the instrument, so I spent a solid 25 mins searching through old Ibanez guitar pictures just to find out it’s a guitar that is seemingly unavailable for sale! Maybe one day one will come on the market, but until then I’ll just keep re-watching this.

I love the contrast of the amazing guitar work, with the most simple beats. It is like having an amazing classically trained musician accompanied by some guy on an 80's era Casio keyboard. The intricate, meets the basic.
This is exactly the stuff I wanted to see, I sent a DM to Tim asking him about beats and production just to see if I got lucky and got some info since this is the kind of stuff I want to get into, but now I have a video 👍🤙
it's extremely rare that there's a guitarist that does something different anymore. And well you managed to, If you keep this up I got a feeling you're gonna be remembered as the Jimmy Page or Jimi Hendrix of this decade or maybe even generation. stay humble though. Please. That type of fame can fuck you up..
@@pritheebecareful6895 Charles is a damn good guitarist, but he is far from an innovator. He definitely plays some wild shit and makes a lot of weird noises, but people like Tosin and Tim are changing the entire context of the instrument.
I love the like Ennio Morricone style spanish guitar sound Tim's been rocking recently. Especially with that warble to it at 6:35. Not sure what effect that is, but I love it

Tim, I haven't played played guitar for very long but I hope that one day I can play like you. Your style is enthralling and infectious. I've never heard anyone play like you do. I love it!
Bless you jacob. I’ve never been into this type of musicianship, but Tim completely changed my outlook on music and the industry period. Tim is my fav musician of all time now. Dude is a beast and blessed at what he does.

As a music photographer i’ve been a fly on the wall on a lot of studio sessions for big and small artists. It’s sooo interesting to me how you record your guitar like how a rapper records their vocals with the punch in method. But it makes sense!
Got to love the fucking chat. Smh. nitpicking at a rough track by two professionals while they sit at home in their covid pajamas with Hentai in their other tabs.
this should be a continuation of "playing god" song, for me this riff sounds dark, it would fit a hellish kind of scenery, devastating yet there is an uncertain hope at the end for this riff

2:50 it takes longer for Tim to get the straw then to come up with a killer riff
He seems hella confused about that straw
WHY DID HE MAKE IT LOOK SO DIFFICULT LMFAO
the straw was dancing on beat
4:20 is literally the chillest i’ve ever seen him play
Yeahh, I had flied
This needs 69 likes. I'm 61

9:44 "final result" for those who come back just to listen again
I am for sure going to have their album on repeat once it's out
This is absoulte FIRE, it's been years since prog guitar has inspired me!

no doubt the future of the guitar scene. good shit
I NEED A FULL VERSION!!! BRILLIANT!
Shortest 12 mins of my life
true
Zakaria Boutarta I thought to myself how stupid, how do you not realize 12 minutes go by? Then I saw I was somehow already 6 minutes into it
we gotta finish this before you leave for tour mi boy
You better finish it y 🔥
Duuuuuuuuude I want this
Finish it and make it a proper song it’s tooo hard !!!!!!!
oh dude, it sucks having to come to youtube and going to the end of the video to listen to this masterpiece. pls do so
this aged terribly
Tim youve became of my heros since discovering you. Youre a guitar god dude
He looks like the parallel universe version of Michael Reeves
Wait
BRUH

Whatever guitar that is, it sounds absolutely amazing. The nylon strings are so spanky yet dark.

That’s some groovy shit right there, Tim’s playing is on another level
He used to have classes for violin and his dad is pretty decent at guitar so he had some guidance early on but from there he was self learning.
You're good at writing things on guitar, Tim.
that’s kind of his thing
9:45 a masterpiece.
This is the prime example of musical genius
guitar god status
2:54 tims just waiting for the straw. Hahahah
Now just imagine Eminem and Dr Dre there in the same room.....
Add Scott stortch in and let it grow...
Please put up more vids like this Tim, really interesting & fun to watch. Maybe even upload full streams, or highlights. Keep it up mang
Logic looks a lot like reaper novadays
You're right. Pretty much identical.
except for the price tag ;)
Reaper is better!
thats reaper i saw at the left top corner
Sencha Yellow it looks more like GarageBand
Oscar worthy film: “I bought Logic so I can use REAPER.”
Such a good atmosphere in this track...
man this guy is not making it difficult for me to fall in love with polyphias sound
the moment when the straw becomes the metronome
2:14 - Call Of Ktulu by Metallica
Good catch! That’s definitely the same Dmin arpeggio

Oh man. I need an entire album of this.
Polyphias last album is basically this
danonthestrings nah this is different
Did someone really say the guitar has ToO mUcH rEvErB??!!
this is way too good !!! need this to be a track on the new album

how can you record bar by bar like that on logic without having the audio tail at the end?

I need ya'll to release a finished version of this; this beat smaccs

Tim, you're the guitarist i aspire to be. I just thought i would say - Btw please come to denmark!
Waw this is so dope 🔥🔥please make it into a whole song for the album !!
Is it just me or polyphia sounds so baroque?? Reminds me of some classical pieces for classic guitar
Seen you guys live in Chicago December 1st, killed it then - killing it now. Great collab
Bless you Jacob, No song butchering intended
