Definitely listen to more from them. Their probably most popular song is G.O.A.T., another absolute bangers are for example O.D., 40oz, The Worst, Goose etc. Basically everything from them is an extremely technical yet very melodic and catchy masterpiece. They're also about to drop a new album very soon so there's a lot to be looking forward to.
Welcome to the Polyphia hole my friend. All 4 of them are straight up legends at their instruments. GOAT was my first introduction to them and i fell in love immediately
One you won’t hear many request is “look but don’t touch”. Funny thing is, it’s probably one of the best to react to! The video makes the reactions so much better.
The thing is, this is their first release in like 3 years, and they were already god-tier musicians even then. They have somehow gotten like CLEARLY better over the last few years somehow. If you have never played guitar before and started playing tomorrow, practicing 2-3 hours a day every single day, I bet it would take you like 5 years before you would be able to play this song. Being able to play pinch harmonics at all is a fairly advanced guitar technique, and these guys do them at light speed in the middle of runs that are already ridiculously difficult. Hybrid picking by itself is a very advanced technique, and these guys just do it like it's nothing. I'm over here playing smoke on the water and these guys are using techniques I can't even pronounce, let alone play.
@@PalmelaHanderson pinch harmonics are a picking hand technique, natural harmonics are a fretting hand technique. Pinch harmonics are way harder than natural harmonics, especially to get them clean and consistent. Pinch harmonics only really sound like they should when there is enough distortion. They are the squeals you hear in metal and so on. Natural harmonics are done by just touching (not fretting) a string on the 4th 5th 7th 12th and higher frets. Pinch harmonics are done by picking in a way which makes your thumb slightly touch the string. Hope you know the difference now.
Check out GOAT, Goose,OD, and 40 oz, and their entire New Levels, New Devils album. The song Playing God was inspired by the fans covering GOAT on acoustic. Tim Hensen (the guy with the neck tat) was so inspired by them he decided to make a song with the guitarists Tim and Scott Lepage playing on nylon strings called Playing God. Their songs in general are inspired by a variety of genres GOAT in particular was inspired by a Jaden Smith song. Probably the most technical and as you said talented musicians out their right now. It’s not just Tim (he is the most active on social media) but Scott Lepage, Clay Aeschlimann on drums, and Cloy Gober on bass are all technical monsters and true masters at their craft. Enjoy
Yeah if you're just doing a reaction then G.O.A.T is the go to, another fun one to react to is Look But Don't Touch. Other songs that I have on repeat are Goose, The Worst, Loud, Yas, 40oz, O.D., Crosty and So Strange. That's a lot but they're just that good.
Been waiting for you to find these guys! My new "get shit done" music! These guys are so good, and even though they are playing hard, the music is soft and relaxing yet motivating. As always, keep it up Richo!
They’re playing the vocals on the guitar. For instance the beginning guitar solo when the beat drops in God ,is not a guitar solo! It’s simulating a🔥azz rapper coming out hard AF and dropping the first verse,slaying everyone! Their music is based on musicians writing ,composing and mixing all genres of music. Creating all the bass parts,vocal structures,guitar harmony’s ,hip hop rap and R&B vocals ,then playing them all at once, together on just a guitar done by one person ,or in this case ,individually buy each of the two guitar players. Polyphia simply mixes all genres of music ,their rock and rap harmonies and their vocal lyrics ,then all written,composed and played on a single guitar ,wether they’re live or in studio! It’s one man doing what a 5 piece band can barely all do together and it’s Ultra impressive to say least. Unequivocally this is next level complicated music with more emotion and structure than some give them credit for! The bottom line is It’s not just music but artistic writing and musical brilliance at some of it’s absolute finest and most genius! As a professional studio musician ,Drummer and lead guitarist I can say I both hear and feel the absolute magnificence of Polyphia! -Crisis
So if you would like to hear where this all started and where there influence for this came from (IMHO), check out Paco De Lucia and Al Di Meola, 'Mediterranean Sundance". You can hear the grandfather to this new song.
If I am not mistaken I believe this genre is called Math Rock. You should check out G.O.A.T , really good song, also the acoustic versions they have on their channel of Playing God is insane as well if you want to see unedited play they have a few from different members playing their parts.
nope. What Tim writes is sortof hiphop synth pop etc and transposes it to guitar . He explains it better. Theyre all absolutely BRILLIANT musicians. He's a genius
I think of it this way ... While most artists write a song specifically with someone in mind using words to communicate their story, I feel like Polyphia are writing music that transcends barriers. Language, race, and culture are irrelevant to the humanity of the emotional response. This music allows each individual who hears it, the freedom to evoke a story that is uniquely personal, and yet undeniably universal. THAT IS POWERFUL STUFF !!! Potentially 'godlike'. This is the exact kind of thing we need to raise the consciousness of all humanity. Just thinking on paper here ... 💖💖💖 ... LOL ... The true test of what makes a song great, is the length of time it lives in your head after it's over ... WELL ... this song has taken up permanent residency. EVEN my regular earworms are feeling crowded out ... LOL ... Check out Tim Henson's "UNPLUGGED VERSION" ... the 'Playing God' play-through is even more impressive without all the flashy, cinematic distractions. That's what I think. Also Check out their song called G.O.A.T. from their last album. Welcome to the Polyphia Rabbit hole !!! Everything they do is different and ridiculously good. There's too many songs to mention. Happy Hunting.
Love your reactions man. Genuine and hilarious. You're right on the money about these guys being legends, and what's more, they're this good, if not BETTER live. If you can even believe that. I had no idea who they were and watched them open for BTBAM a few years ago and was absolutely FLOORED. Here's a few more tunes of there's worth checking out. (oldest to newest) Champagne w/ Nick Johnston (2014) th-cam.com/video/tv7Hyz4hqm0/w-d-xo.html Light (2016) th-cam.com/video/_x5_9SD0SqM/w-d-xo.html Icronic (2017) th-cam.com/video/SxGMtAKz0w4/w-d-xo.html G.O.A.T. (2018) - As everyone else here has mentioned lol th-cam.com/video/9_gkpYORQLU/w-d-xo.html
Please check out their song "Nasty". G.O.A.T IS a great song, but it's like telling someone to listen to "Freak on a Leash" if they never heard Korn, or "Enter Sandman" if they never heard Metalica. So please go off the grain and check it out. Most of the people requesting G.O.A.T and OD, I suspect are the same kind of people that would yell out 'Play Free Bird!" at every live show they've ever been to, and at least once a week visit a guitar shop,. Specifically so they can play "Stairway to Heaven" loud and incorrectly.
Great content! G.O.A.T. Is the first song I heard of theirs and is one you have to react to! I went back and looked up all their music and they are all bangers! Very technical and just amazing to listen to.
highly recommend going to the start. the song Transcend. and try work ya way up. my top picks though. Transcend. Aviator. champagne. 40oz. James Franco. GOAT. Goose. Lit. Look but don't touch. YAS. thats just to name a few.
There are more and more people adopting the hybrid picking and gaining a ton of speed on the patterns. Mateus Asato (TH-cam?Instagram), Tim Henson (Polyphia), Scott LePage (Polyphia), Charles Caswell (TH-cam/Berried Alive), Ichika Nito (TH-cam) All of these players would give you days of mind blowing content to consume and analyze. If you're keen, here are 3 videos with amazing skill I think you would enjoy immensely: /watch?v=Z1mqNKKJ12U /watch?v=8NjBJJdYz2g /watch?v=VFEZOjtrwls
You are so funny dude. What a legend. This song is the hardest I have ever tried to learn but thanks to Music Jesus we have songs and bands like this one to keep us motivated to become better and better.
I have a request.. Check out the indianfolkmetal band Dymbur, the song Child Abuse.. Would love to see you react to these guys & the topics they write about
jow this is pretty good.. but i cant belivee people are so blown away by the guitar.. if you ever heard gypsies play guitar youll know whatsup.. check out rosenberg trio...
Definitely listen to more from them. Their probably most popular song is G.O.A.T., another absolute bangers are for example O.D., 40oz, The Worst, Goose etc. Basically everything from them is an extremely technical yet very melodic and catchy masterpiece. They're also about to drop a new album very soon so there's a lot to be looking forward to.
The worst is my favourite hands down. Makes me pull screwface every. single. time.
And Drown!
Yes EVERY song is great 👍 please MORE REACTIONS on polyphia!! Subbed 😊
Tim has some really cool solo pieces on his channel too. Like Blood Moon or Quintuplet Meditation for example :)
Neurotica is genius. Also.. like you said.. fucking everything
I FEEL LIKE JESUS WROTE THIS!
Welcome to the Polyphia hole my friend. All 4 of them are straight up legends at their instruments. GOAT was my first introduction to them and i fell in love immediately
Dude I love your reactions.
"What genre do you call this...everything?"
"What genre do you even call this?! Everything?!" - Perfect response. xD
You should watch Tim Henson do this song unplugged. It's wild.
One you won’t hear many request is “look but don’t touch”. Funny thing is, it’s probably one of the best to react to! The video makes the reactions so much better.
Nah... Goat.
@@montreauxs GOAT is good but look but don’t touch is funny.
Polyphia G.O.A.T, 40 Oz, Yas, Nightmare, O.D theres so many to check out from them, highly recommended
Wait until you hear them playing the unplugged verisons, of the song, its mind blowing, (Tim Henson - Guitar, Scottie - Guitar and Clay - Drums).
tim hensons reaction video to polyphia fan covers is pretty good. there are some incredible musicians in the world
Absolutely incredible band! This is my fave track of theirs 🔥🖤
I am from Detroit and I’ve seen Polyphia twice and they are amazing
The thing is, this is their first release in like 3 years, and they were already god-tier musicians even then. They have somehow gotten like CLEARLY better over the last few years somehow.

they are not pinch harmonics, they are natural harmonics.
@@aironasvitkauskinis7893 Ah thanks for the correction. I can't do either of them, so I'm not even entirely sure what the difference is.
@@PalmelaHanderson pinch harmonics are a picking hand technique, natural harmonics are a fretting hand technique.

More than 5 years bro.
@@robj144 probably not, assuming the person practices correctly and everyday. I'd even bet someone could play it at 4 years with some nuances.
I'm heading over to.the States to see four shows on their upcoming tour! Cannot wait.
you gotta hear tim hensons blood moon video! time henson was the middle guy in the video. some of the best guitar i’ve ever heard.
Check out GOAT, Goose,OD, and 40 oz, and their entire New Levels, New Devils album. The song Playing God was inspired by the fans covering GOAT on acoustic.

Broo..... now that was somethin else!
holy crap!!!! flamnco taste with alternate picking, but watch him drop the base line while running his riff is beyond sic!!!!!
Some must watches are G.O.A.T, Goose, OD, Yas, and pretty much their entire New Levels New Devils and The Most Hated albums. They are truly amazing.
Hopefully a long series of polyphia discovery for you (and us!)
Great reaction brother.... amazing band
"What genre do u even call this? Everything!?" LMAO this is exactly what i felt.
Yeah if you're just doing a reaction then G.O.A.T is the go to, another fun one to react to is Look But Don't Touch. Other songs that I have on repeat are Goose, The Worst, Loud, Yas, 40oz, O.D., Crosty and So Strange. That's a lot but they're just that good.
That was a fantastic reaction bud, great stuff.
Nightmare is one of my fav songs by them.
Dude 🤣 this reaction is the best
I felt that "Whoa" moment in my soul at 0:56
Welcome to Polyphia
It's just a normal reaction, like everyone else.
@@OriginalPuro Lol who tf asked you? 😂
priceless reaction on the drop
Man i am 10 sec into the vid, but i gonna need to drop that like just for the really nice mustache.
Polyphia keeps bringing the heat
Love the reactions keep up the good work...40oz by polyphia..
You pretty much are now required to react to G.O.A.T.
hahahaha great video man love the energy
great reaction. much appreciated
Dream theater can cover any thing recorded. These guys are another level.
"look but dont touch" is a great listen!
“Polyphia”, comes from the word, “Polyphony”, meaning:” Music whose texture is defined by the interweaving melodic lines...
"i feel like jesus wrote this" xDDDDD
Genre is pure Fusion.
2:04 suddenly Persona xD
"I feel jesus wrote this" got me
Been waiting for you to find these guys! My new "get shit done" music! These guys are so good, and even though they are playing hard, the music is soft and relaxing yet motivating.
As always, keep it up Richo!
Great Aussie reaction!!!
“What genre do you even call this? Everything??”
First time watching your stuff. I'm a subscriber great content! Carry on.....
They’re playing the vocals on the guitar.
For instance the beginning guitar solo when the beat drops in God ,is not a guitar solo!

As a professional studio musician ,Drummer and lead guitarist I can say I both hear and feel the absolute magnificence of Polyphia!
-Crisis
Welcome to progressive math rock with flamenco, and jazz, and bosanova all mixed in for fun with a hip hop inspired beat
My faves in no particular order
Playing God
G.O.A.T.
Od
Goose
My favorite band ever. The four best musicians on the planet
So good fam!
3:01 there's this madman called Danny yau who covered the whole song in one day and he played a part of it with a Ukulele too.
Danny is insane. Part of this song was leaked a couple years back but the fact that he did that is nuts
You need to check out Polyphia - Nasty feat Jason Richardson (old Born of Osiris guitarist)
So if you would like to hear where this all started and where there influence for this came from (IMHO), check out Paco De Lucia and Al Di Meola, 'Mediterranean Sundance". You can hear the grandfather to this new song.
Damn. The lead looks like the ADJUDICATOR from John Wick
🤯
Fusion is the genre.
I know everyone says "GOAT," and I love GOAT, but I'd recommend "Yas"
“I feel like Jesus wrote this” 😂😂 you’re awesome
Progressive flamenco
BEST FCKING REACTION TO POLYPHIA'S PLAYING GOD NGL. "IS THERE ANY HUMAN BEINGS CAN COVER THIS? I FEEL LIKE JESUS WROTE THIS" I DIED.🤣
If I am not mistaken I believe this genre is called Math Rock. You should check out G.O.A.T , really good song, also the acoustic versions they have on their channel of Playing God is insane as well if you want to see unedited play they have a few from different members playing their parts.
nope. What Tim writes is sortof hiphop synth pop etc and transposes it to guitar . He explains it better. Theyre all absolutely BRILLIANT musicians. He's a genius
Can anyone in the world cover this?...... I feel like Jesus wrote this! That line just got you a thumbs up and a new sub!
GOAT is a must
Lmao! “I feel like Jesus wrote this!” Subbed for that comment
G.O.A.T is probably by far their most popular when it comes to reaction channels, but my personal favourite of theirs is O.D.
Tim Henson does a play-through of this song. It’s amazing. Also G.O.A.T is mind blowing.
This is fantastic...DIVE IN MY MUSTACHIOED INTERNET FRIEND! 😁
Such a banger

I feel like the only band that can even get close to that would be august burns red
"I feel like Jesus wrote this" is the best quote of all time 😂😂
Goat !

They're playing flamenco and bossa nova.
i love you richo
Love you too
Genre? At this point I think Tim Henson (the guitarist with the spiky black hair and the composer of all their songs) is a genre all to himself.
Great content! G.O.A.T. Is the first song I heard of theirs and is one you have to react to! I went back and looked up all their music and they are all bangers! Very technical and just amazing to listen to.

all agree ^^
sounds like you need to react to GOAT next!
songs to react: G.O.A.T. , O.D. , 40oz , Goose , The worst , Nasty , Yas , Crush , Champagne.
Difficulty : 'max level on guitar hero'
You should try OD, it’s my favorite of theirs. G.O.A.T. is also very popular!
There are more and more people adopting the hybrid picking and gaining a ton of speed on the patterns.
Mateus Asato (TH-cam?Instagram), Tim Henson (Polyphia), Scott LePage (Polyphia), Charles Caswell (TH-cam/Berried Alive), Ichika Nito (TH-cam)
All of these players would give you days of mind blowing content to consume and analyze.

I have a request.. Check out the indianfolkmetal band Dymbur, the song Child Abuse.. Would love to see you react to these guys & the topics they write about
nice reaction, plz reaction a more of the polyphia
please react to “Marcin & Ichika Nito - Acoustic vs Electric” THAT SHIT’S CRAZYYYYY TOO!
You should listen to G.O.A.T. and some of their other songs.
Please watch the unplugged guitar version on Tim Henson's page. It will blow your mind 😂
This is no song, this is a music piece. I like to describe them as a 4 piece guitar centered orchestra. Like a micro TSO. (Trans Siberian Orchestra)
jow this is pretty good.. but i cant belivee people are so blown away by the guitar..
if you ever heard gypsies play guitar youll know whatsup.. check out rosenberg trio...
Check out Tim Henson guitar playtrough bro.
G.O.A.T. is a MUST check out
genre is polyphiacore i think
React G.O.A.T., Aviator, Nightmare, Goose, The Worst, and Finale!! They are all bangers!!
g.o.a.t. is pretty decent, has a nice bass part in it
LOL @ Jesus wrote this !!!! so GOOD !
DID JESUS WRITE THIS IM DEAD 😂😂😂😂
40oz, G.O.A.T., O.D., Crosty
