"That looks so difficult on Violin"
boy it's not like it's easy on guitar
Honestly
Nah it is u just have to be Tim
you sure about that? i've been playing guitar for about 8yrs give or take, an def not 24/7. and i can play a few of thier songs. alot of it is hammer ons, hammer offs, and pinch harmonics. can literally do it one handed really if you practiced 20 or 30 hrs trying to do so. i'd say give things another try and maybe go with G.O.A.T. or Euphoria since those are far easier than alot of thier other tracks.
@@shawnmunck7412 lmao the only song that uses pinch harmonics is Nasty, and pretty sure its Jason Richardson doing em. Also, Don't forget hybrid-picking, sweep-picking and tapping either.
@@NoahWoodworth actually tim does pinch harmonics in G.O.A.T. for his licks. but yes, sweep picking, alternate picking, etc. are all good to learn as well. been writing instrumental music on guitar for almost a decade now but i am always looking to find new techniques to learn and pick up on. just like Tim said in an interview once(prob more than once lol) that most people dont care about the music side of making music nowadays. its all about money. for me, i dont make shit off of it. i write music just for the sake of writing music. the way it should be if you ask me. hbu? you sound well versed in music theory. how long you been playing for and what instrument do you focus on?
"they're just having full-on Polyphia concerts without us" lol
Of all the comments Tim made, this one made me laugh so hard I snorted.
@@isaacjeanneret3533 hahaha, same man. That one and....Thats a fucking.....interresting sound
@@isaacjeanneret3533 I liked, “my brain is full of fuck” 🤣
That shït has me tight ngl
*Tim contacts lawyer*
When Tim says “what!? How are you playing that?” Or “what the fuck was that?” It feels like he may finally understand how we feel watching him
😅😅
Hahaha... 👏👏👏😂
I love how Tim makes music that makes ppl go "WTF???"
and when others play his music on things other than a guitar he goes "WTF?!?!??!"
That ukelele guy deserves recognition
It's good to see musicians fully appreciate each other.
This proves the average Polyphia fans are beautiful Asian virtuosos.
Can confirm.. except I'm no virtuoso lmao
remove the beautiful and virtuoso and you’ll get me
Yeah I'm nepali but virtuous seriously
@@suhudude can relate
Tbh, only someone of Asian decent can play an instrument like that
person: shreds ukulele
tim: tHeM sPoNgEbOb ShEetS ThO
yo Arthur...date release of season 3?
Ukulele 🤙
I'm happy with the knowledge he probably used the same instrument to play spongebob songs and polyphia songs. That makes me really happy.
@@derricka9249 dunno mayn hinawa took my sword away ;-;
Yo he was literally mentioned by name atleast 2, maybe 3 times in the video and you call him "person" lmao
Tim Henson.
One of the humblest musicians in the world.
No matter how great you are, realize the greatness in others.
Yeah !!
Same thought! He is so sweet! Encouraging others like this!
I guarantee you that harmonica guy probably never had an issue making his Nintendo 64 games work.
bruh. kids nowadays wont understand the struggle. *fist bump
it took me a second but i'm glad i got the reference lol
Extremely underrated comment
😂😂😂
Tim reacting to the dude in the ukulele is essentially any normal person watching Tim play guitar
Exactly. Imagine being great enough to blow Tim's mind...
This is the comment I came here for. Now I guess he, in some respects, knows how it feels.
Lmfao I thought the same thing
LMFAOO so true
Damn that guy was just so much more skilled and better than Tim. Amazing
I just learned that it is possible to shred on a harmonica.
John Popper yo!
Blues traveler ???
Maybe i will try breakdown on it
@@andrewmccarthy3445 Exactly. Blues Traveler totally shreds the harmonica.
Bahahahahaaha right😂 ain’t no damn prison blues
"Good lord. They're just having full on Polyphia concerts without us." Haha. It's something else to watch Tim react to these covers. And so humble. A legend.
“With such ease” he says. He’s obviously never seen how casually he himself plays guitar like we haven’t seen since Hendrix was alive.
@@hendix2200 Not techique or style wise no, but he is showing ways to play guitar that is more or less new to most people.
How to impress people: just be Polyphia
How to impress Tim of Polyphia: use fewer strings
@kyfii_ That joke was epic
@@pureventrue2357 6 strings bass = Not EPIC.....
piano doesn't stand a chance
Or no strings (harmonica dude)
@@turken14 sadly :(
Tim’s reaction to ukelele polyphia is like anyones reaction to the normal version of the song when they hear it for the first time, so funny to see him suprised
This is so accurate
I was getting ready to same the same thing. I listen to tim and im saying what the fuck was that?...rewind. wtf?? Lol
He might give Tim some lessons 😅
Danny yau also the man that play guutar on 3:38
Hello guardian
I like that he picked covers not to trash them, but to honestly appreciate their skill.
Sierra Hull (woman on the mandolin) is a Grammy nominated blue grass artist and a damn good guitarist herself.
I thought that looked like her. I’ve mostly seen her play mandolin. She is Berklee trained.
I saw her in Pittsburgh with Cory Wong, incredible stuff
tim watching us: what the fuccc
us watching tim: what the fuccc
finally a taste of his own medicine :p
Seeing him do it live is an even bugger what the fuccc
my brain is full of fucc
it's a fuccc circle
“What?!” From Tim Henson is the biggest compliment ever
I’m so honoured to be in you video
Dude I'm afraid to see what you can do on a guitar.
My guy
@@BrandonArd91 If you're so interested, go watch his vids!
The cover of his part from the shred collab actually broke my brain as a guitarist that's confident in his ability to play most of their discography. The arrangement is insane. I admire the amount of hard work you put into all of your arrangements man!
Hey man, great work. Also, what the fuck ?
Incredible!!
The great Tomo....
Just when i thought Polyphia’s music couldn’t get any better i realize that their music is made to be rearranged with other instruments and it still sounds insane. Perfectly in place everywhere except maybe country music
Dont come for my country music lol
Someone is going to come in with a banjo rendition of Playing God and is going to blow your mind now.
@@Noobzlikeu i really want this to happen ngl
@@harugabriell7140 So do I. Or even better yet, a shamisen rendition.
Champagne could go country easily if you slowed it down, used twangy guitars and a slow galloping "clippety cloppety" feel
Imagine polyphia live playin with an orchestra 😯 might be dope
might be?? That would be amazing.
@@zachhamilton456 true haha
yoooooo wtf that would be amazing i would go to great lengths to see that live
"POLYPHIA liva at Royal albert hall" lets do it
Thats some frank zappa shit
Tim in this video:
What the fuck
Holy shit
That was nuts
This is sick as fuck
lmaooo
I wrote this? haha
@KucingPutih912 how is it toxic?
Basically he gets to experience the way that the rest of the world feels while watching him.
Finally Tim understands what it’s like for us mere mortals to watch him play
The diversity of instruments here is just amazing. I'm half expecting some backwoods Appalachian band to come out and just murder "Ego Death" with a stovepipe, a mouth harp and a washboard.
Imagine spending a month perfecting a polyphia song just to be outshined by the fkn harmonica
Relatable
As the saying goes.. there's always an Asian that's better than you lmao
I relate
a month? hah...hahahah... noob... I mastered one in 4 months. bigger number = more skill amirite?
@@Anesth3s1A ......
Actually G.O.A.T. on the violin sounds like some sort of a classical masterpiece
Absolutely, Polyphia will be lumped in with beethoven in the long run
Sort of Romanticism may I say
MAYBE BUT I HOPE IT DOESNT GET SACRILIGEOUS
@@jmee.mp3 iNtErEsTiNg
Most def! Check out the symphony in Oregon performing Kanye’s “All of the Lights”. Mind blowing
“They’re just having full on polyphia concerts without us” that shit cracked me up!
Tim, this is the impact you've had on your craft. You've raised the bar. Can't imagine what's next.
Tim mentally calculating his royalties watching harmonica guy being a rockstar
yea shit, he's definitely owed some money off that if he wants to chase it
I love that he doesn’t seem upset or anything
@@bbqseitan7106 well that's what music is supposed to be, "free". It's cool to do a cover and give proper recognition to it's original composer. (As well as with any other kind of art).
@@monroebarzol6152 this is why I’ll never give up music. I just can’t get enough of how wholesome it can be🙏
@@currentlyvibing9916 Well many musicians tend to be a bit assholes but yeah, it's a really beautiful art.
I never realized how good polyphia songs would sound on violin
That's what happens when you make melodically intricate music.
Innit
Its trash joe venuti was a much better violinist
Tim is actually a composer man, he really does write some of the catchiest hooks
Danny on the Ukulele absolutely fucks it up ( in the best way)! How's it even possible to replicate these songs on 4 strings?! What a legend!
absolutely nuts. wow!
The man himself has entered the chat!
Aquele cara do ukulele não é desse mundo!
@Mateus Asato
Dude, you have a great profile pic. You should try a career on stage. A guitar maybe?
woah another god has appeared
Oi Mateus
"And she's alternate picking it 'like you're supposed to' cuz that's how I recorded it but I don't play it live" AHHH I'M DEAD
I don't get this, wouldn't that make it easier, to alternate pick? What does Tom do love instead, sweep pick? I guess his comment makes sense to me then. I don't know much about guitars, but I looked up alternate picking.
@@oicfas4523 Sweep picking it is so much easier, but still hard af
AHHH shut up
Does no one recognize that that's Sierra Hull??
That isn't just a "fan cover" that's another artist cover.
She's an awesome bluegrass mandolin player.
She makes that look easy because it is to her.
@@oicfas4523 not necessarily. Alternate picking a run that goes through multiple strings can get tricky. Because you may end up going opposite motion depending on the run.
Like if you’re in a note on string 3, you’re picking “up” for the next note, but it’s in string 4 (down) the motion of your picking technique is taking you AWAY from where you want to be for the next note in the run.
It’s why a lot of guitarists use what’s called economy picking. Basically picking with the thought in your mind of where you need to be next. You “economize” your motions so they’re more efficient.
But, your pick direction DOES have subtle tonal differences to the trained ear. Which is why he likely recorded it that way. Playing it live is just another beast entirely. You need to be like surgically precise to pull off an alternate picking run across multiple strings. Or write it in a way that compensates your motions by going “up” or “down” a string depending on where your current pick direction is.
“How are we getting these sounds out of this thing?” My thoughts exactly.
It’s cool to see him be amazed with someone’s skill like the rest of us. He’s just a regular guy who makes and enjoys music.
dude: plays entire polyphia song on a harmonica
me: blows one balloon n almost passes out
Underrated comment.
Fr same 😂
Keep in mind that harmonica playing involves both inhaling and exhaling. You are basically just breathing in rhythm.
@@JeremyWWWWW That, and there's a technique called circular breathing or something like that, that could maybe work. I think Kenny G iirc had/has a world record for longest note held on sax at like 40 minutes using that technique.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_breathing
Legit I have to take MANY breaths in before the balloon is fully blown😅
2:36 "Theres no frets on this shit" dude there ain't even a fret BOARD on that thing.
it literally looked like she's playin on thin air.... not even thin.
yea the erhu is pretty nuts
What gauge are those strings?
@@emiromiranda1214 I think the lightest gauge string of the two is a .010, you can get them made out of silk apparently too o.O
@@rowanb4395 my guy there are 7 gauge strings
You can see his humbleness in how excited and impressed he is by these covers. And I think it's the humbleness that enables him to be as good as he is. People who always already think they are amazing and above everyone else in the world don't improve quickly and get stuck. A humble man has no ceiling.
Sierra Hull is an amazing mandolinist, octave mandolinist and guitarist. She's obviously branching out from her Bluegrass roots. Justin Moses, her husband is equally incredible on the countless instruments he plays.
"I don't play it live though..." Is literally the compliment to anyone who can play it at all.
He sweeps it live.
I'm a guitarist and somewhat of a pianist, but the violin and other stringed/bow ones always break my brain, they're so freaking awesome.
it has no frets! like my guitar have frets and I can't hit the right notes half the time!
Yeah man, they are so op!!!
Violinists are monsters to be able to play such complex arrangements in that awkward position as well as with no frets
Although in turn ive met several violinists who rely on their teacher to tune their violin
I play the cello 😀
You forgot to add Wah enthusiast
I finally crawled out from wherever and discovered Polyphia...I'm astounded! And this video is astounding....(literally can't put into words how much I love all of "this", & all you wonderful and amazing musicians!!!! 💯...thank you for sharing 💚
Love how humble this guy is. I don't know where I've been but I literally just heard of these guys last week. My bro texted me one of their videos and I've been hooked ever since. Such an amazing group of talent
“Bro look at those spongebob sheets tho” I fucking cried lmao
Bro same 🤣
man :*plays violin majestically
tim : "bruh look at these spongebob sheets"
@@ezekiel5482 ukulele?
You know that guy sent the video and was like "oh shit i hope he doesn't notice the spongebob sheets"
@@ezekiel5482 *plays anything else who don't look like a yukukele lol.
this man is basically michael reeves with music knowledge instead of coding
This comment is so underrated
THIS IS SO FUCKING ACCURATE ITS SCARY 😂😂😂
that's racist and I like it.
and less crazy, i think
This is so accurate that it’s not even funny
I really love the appreciation and humility you have for these covers. We need more of that attitude in the world. Artists appreciating other artists. Respect.
Tim, I think it's awesome to see an artist appreciate fans that are doing covers of their work, and not hitting them with copyright strikes. Music should always be a celebration of talent, and there are always going to be artists we all look up to and influenced by. I would think the music industry would be happy if we as creators did covers and gave credit to the original artists, buy the song from the artist to help them in their career, push awareness of artists/bands, and push sales! Love your work! ✌️
This video should actually be titled "Tim Henson reacting the same way every other guitar player reacts when they hear Tim Henson for the first time" ft. Violins n shit
This would be an accurate title lol
It's really funny to see Tim's head explode about how fckn cool these guys play. Like he forgot who created these songs and he's just in awe now. haha
Haha, ikr i think he's happy to see how many people did covers of his tracks, and on different instruments. I know i'd have a blast watching my own songs being covered by others
Hahaha right?
bro im 30 seconds in, and you rewinding the chick with the violin, is how i feel watching YOU hahaha got me crackin tf up
Thank you for bringing all the amazing musicians to us all!
“That Jackie Chan meme where he’s like ‘My brain is full of fuck.’”

No matter how good you are... You can always go on youtube to crush your self-esteem
It can literally crushed anything like my guitar and make a hole on my walls.
My dad used to tell me. How much do you really want to be the best? Every time you lay that les Paul down, there is someone somewhere that’s still playing and getting better.
I pretty much lock myself in my bedroom for two years straight after that. Except for school and sleep I was playing.
Surfing with the alien was my first tab book. Still have that sucker around here somewhere.
@@ItsMeBarnaby "...If they can do it so can you..." Only to a point.
There is only so much mental-yoga you can do to avoid feeling bad about your own progress when you run into videos of 8-year-olds playing ThroughTheFireAndFlames, YYZ, or Drum-Machine-Perfect covers of BFG Division.
Some people are just going to learn things faster/easier. Some people will never be able to flex their hands in certain ways.
The trick is to enjoy what you are doing, and be okay with other people being better.
LOVE Tim reacting to fan covers! This is so 360 degrees great from the creativeness and discovery of the fan covers and Tim's reaction. Amazing!
It was wonderful to see you react to all of the different renditions with awe and appreciation! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥
"That looks so difficult on the violin" - As if it wasn't already hard enough on guitar...
exactly what i thought lmao
I gave up on learning his piece on the shred collab after the diminished nonsense
Fr
im honored fr im cryin. everyone so talented !!
Nice work, sounded so good👌
you killed it !!!
Tim didn't mention it but I will. Your Polyphia hoodie is amazing to :))
you fucking killed it so well deserved
great work!
Woh... The talent cant be described in words... Much love to all these talented musicians!. And TY Polyphia for providing the inspiration for these covers. Much love to all in the comments as well. Keep on rockin!!
Danny's been impressing polyphia for years and he still appears in their reactions, truly a one in a kind.
"No matter how good you are... There will always be an Asian kid better than you at it"

Truth
Tim is half asian too 😆
ROFLMBFAO!

He's half asian tho
"Oh that's fucked, look at the accuracy she has there's no frets on this shit" 2:33
Tim, i love that you compliment your fans on covers! Epic!
Yo, love how honest you are, and the enjoyment you show watching them play.
He's impressed with their skills, but he forgets that he does the same.
True and of course he created it.
He's impressed because they can do it with different instruments
mandolin girl should be jailed for having that amount of chill while alternate picking a polyphia song
Check her out! She’s Sierra Hull and she’s a monster player
@@grantolson7200 oh ik ive seen her stuff around I just couldn't think of the name off the top of my head
she's one of the best around on mando...great guitar player too...I'm sure she can play this on guitar
Bluegrass Player are all super good....
Mandolins used to be a popular, respectable instrument
Wow! Fantastic musicians and a fantastic human being reviewing them ❤️ So cool to be this stoked over people covering your music. You’re a good dude, Tim! 🙏
Violins always give me chills and that first cover was all the tingles I’ve ever needed!
“It looks like a ladle or something...for soup” 😂
the girl with the violin playing so difficult songs with such a ease, she's not even showing a once of struggle danm
I guess you get to that point after thousands of hours playing the instrument
Absolutely a pleasure to see the pure look of enjoyment and respect you have for these musicians. Damn dude. This vid made my day.
Keep Kicking ass Tim!
The violin is so powerful and articulate with transitions between notes. No frets, just talent. It has to be so difficult. Much respect to you and your fans ;)
8:22 if even Tim is confused, imagine us
Your profile pic says it all😭💀
watching Tim freak out to these is like watching a regular person react to his music
Amazing that you have inspired musicians all over the world, to take the time and effort to do justice to your amazing compositions. Cheers!!
It’s always refreshing to see an artist sayin “hell yeah” to someone doing his covers.. keep it up Tim! You’re awesome bud!
"Bro how the f**k are you gonna do that on four strings?"
**the two people that played songs on just one string had left the chat**
Some things that had to have to make an polyphia cover:
- have 10 fingers or more
- have an instrument
- be alive
- be asian
* non arthritic working fingers
It does seem to be mostly asians for some reasons but yea
Sierra Hull isn't Asian she play's Bluegrass.
I dont even have the first thing 😭😭😭
@@alielmiedany3611 don't feel bad, I don't either, hell, I don't even have 2 arms that work! Half of me is in pieces in the sand in Iraq, but I'm still trying to play!
I have never heard these instruments sound so good. These players are amazing. Tim your expression when watching Danny is priceless.
What a wonderful compliment of your work and composition. Love how music moves across the planet as a common language that can be interpreted, adapted, arranged in unexpected ways. Very cool.
Alright. Nobody's going to talk about that intro beat? Alternative GOAT? that sounds dope as sh*t
HOLY FUCK THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED
Ayoo wtf that’s sick
Is there a full version of that version of GOAT?
Is there a full version of that version of GOAT?
What’s the version called?

It's really cool you do this stuff and interact with fan content of you and Polyphia's work!
This just showed me the world is packed with some awesome people with skills. I loved this. Ty
Polyphia riffs are so advanced 90% of all covers are by asian people lol
All of them were absolutely amazing
Well Tim is half Asian so he can harness that power as well
Not because they have asian face that they are... welcome in 2022...

Your fans are as diversified as your music! Thanks for sharing! Love your reactions!
Tim, loved this. You are so good, and humble. The Lady playing the soup ladle. LMFAO ! yet your reactions and appreciation to their covers. Well done on your part. Would love to see more. I grew up with Hendrix as my Idol, you have quickly become the new "Jimi" in my book. So thankful the Guitar and people who have dedicated their life to playing instruments carry the torch.
"They're having full on Polyphia concerts without us, crAAAAAazy"
I LOST IT
Tims eyes are just everywhere even noticing them Spongebob sheets
Those spongebob sheets are on a whole other level man. This was an impressive vid from everyone
Absolute proof that amazing musicianship and song writing ability transcends all instruments and can work with whatever you have. Amazing work to everyone in this video, especially Tim for creating such wonderful music and arrangements
That beat boxer, harmonica, and guitarist with the skateboarder behind was such a vibe.
Love you, Tim :) Thanks for including me! Everyone in the video was phenomenal 😍💜🎶
This was the most lovely reaction video. Appreciation for your fans, boosting the videos and platforms of the people you featured, it was all so nice.
He seems very genuine and humble. Much respect for this musician.
