@@anthonygunnip8779 i think it was maded specially for tim henson, he said in one video that this guitar was a commercial flaw in the 90's and they would never put it back to market, but polyphia sent the demo of "Playing God" to ibanez and asked them to create a new version of it, so his guitar was probably one of the first and customized the way he wanted. Playing God was one of their best songs and revived this guitar that literally nobody wanted in the 90's.
I love that the sound isnt overprocessed, you can hear every noise of the finger movements and accoustic imperfections. Makes me trust the skill of the playing a lot more when its obvious its a live take.
This looks like the beginning of a long career. You are insane at guitar and it is great you're getting deserved attention. The production is so good ! can't wait for it to get even better
@@russeljamescanonio snbe mupa ung iba sabay sa uso pero ito grabe isipin mo polyphia nayan tapos sya pa nanalo don sa contest ng polyphia at sya nakakuha nung signature guitar ni tim henson sobra saludo 🙇
I am at a loss of words. This has to be one of the most technically outstanding (and visually impressive) covers I've ever seen in my entire life. Like, saying you did a wonderful job wouldn't even begin to do it justice. Hats off, man, you're an integral part of this fanbase's history at this point
I was actually contemplating about the sound because it's not that good when you hear it with good speakers, BUT appreciating that every sound that you do on the steel acoustic guitar. Marvelous. Thumbs up to PINOY! LET'S GO!
Yeah, i agree with you. i love this guy's content but let's be real. This one is... ugh... i don't know, man, It's all over the place. No hate, just we're all human after all.
You know what’s funny is that as I listened, I remember thinking “this doesn’t sound all THAT great” lol. But in my head, I was comparing this singular guy to the entirety of Polyphia and their highly-produced track, and then I realized just how good this guy is that my brain was subconsciously doing that.
There is this limitation to the sound that acoustic guitars (and the electrics) can produce; surely this is already the best-sounding cover it possibly is, without any multi-tracks involved in the sense that there is only one recording of each type of guitars involved in this cover
Holy crap that was amazing. Nice use of different guitars, they all fit where they need to be. Only thing missing was a whammy bar! Execution was flawless and cinematography was also great
@@sudhramjutun5694 people like you can’t even play hot cross buns on anything with strings and comment shit like this. The pure joy and vibe in his playing resonates very well but you wouldn’t recognize that either because the only form of joy you know is when your mother dropped you down the stairs and she smiled.
i think tim needs to send you another guitar man. this is by far some of the very best instrumentation i have seen. i love your fingerwork, and the dedication to keep the nails perfect. keep that 4000 cloth and polish handy brother.
11/10 You're a S++ tier guitarist! transposing notes, playing this song in 6 strings and converting parts into fingerstyle is alot of work and dedication.
Awesome work. Sounds amazing, and the way you constantly swapped the guitars kept the song sounding like a conversation between them which I loved about the original. Kinda feel like the TOD10 almost let you down a little at the second section, it works with the main riff but I reckon the steel strings are nicer on this particular song - it was great to see it again though! Congrats on the fantastic cover
cmon man, youre the first one to make it for ego death by polyphia! Cant wait for you amongst Ichika Nito, Manuel Gardner Fernandez, and also Polyphia themselves!
The fact that you made this sound excellent as 1 musician is incredible. Definitely wont say better than the original, but being so close vs 5 of the best living players is outstanding.
I love that he's using the guitar he won in Polyphia's cover contest.
I’m wondering if his is a prototype since the headstock is black, mine is brown. I know he won it from them so maybe a first batch thing
@@demo308 Wasn't it Tim's personal guitar? Pretty sure that it was mentioned in the video, but they might've just sent out a special one for him, idk

@orly. Yeah he's said a couple times that his version was different from the production models
What I came here to see. Amazing
I love that the sound isnt overprocessed, you can hear every noise of the finger movements and accoustic imperfections. Makes me trust the skill of the playing a lot more when its obvious its a live take.
well... 3 live takes
He is good at fingering
@@mrmother473thats actually impressive af. Only 3 takes to finish the whole song without any major mistakes.
Polyphia needs to get you as a feature on the next album
For real
Fuck yeah. Come on boys! Make it happen! @polyphia
Agreed
Talent!
yeah fr
The fact that he played this on 6 strings when most of it is played on 7 strings is impressive
1 less string = 1/7 easier
I could magine him playing Marcin's acoustic songs
@@poadudenah bro, that's not how it works
7 string just has an added lower string so its not really any different other than shifting those notes.
What's impressive is his playing.
Thank you master skywalker
This sounds so unique yet so close to the original, I have never loved a cover remake of a song as much as I love this.
BRO HE KILLED THE STEVE VAI SOLO OH MY GOOOOOOD
This looks like the beginning of a long career. You are insane at guitar and it is great you're getting deserved attention. The production is so good ! can't wait for it to get even better
AYO HES USING AN ELECTRIC GUITAR and bro nailed it without a whammy bar
My fave part at 4:15 after that eek eek sound, the acoustic backing up steve vai solo is so sick! Love the tone on that part
this is actually amazing. Ur transcribing skills are insanely great. I'm glad they sent you the TOD10, cuz like damn you actually deserve it.
Seriously. It went to immediate good use!
4:15 bro did the eeek eeek without a whammy bar, that's insane
bc the sound isn’t actually the whammy steve vai just did it for effects on the video 😂
Yeah you like push the tip of your pick into the string it’s weird
Not that crazy literally just picking the string and playing a dotted 16th note and muting it
I think this is the 50th time ive listened to it. Love it, the tone, editing, playing, all great.
Galing. Pinakadabest fingerstyle guitarist ng philippines
true
tru apaka overrated nung iba
@@russeljamescanonio snbe mupa ung iba sabay sa uso pero ito grabe isipin mo polyphia nayan tapos sya pa nanalo don sa contest ng polyphia at sya nakakuha nung signature guitar ni tim henson sobra saludo 🙇
The way you added that electric to Steve’s solo😫
My favorite song in their album, covered by my favorite acoustic guitar fingerstylist. Sometimes life gives so much I should be grateful.
The electric guitar at 3:50 was so clean, Well done!
Love to see that competition prize guitar getting some use. Paolo really earned it and now he's just going the extra mile with it.
The fact he’s playin polyphia on polyphias guitar is jus incredible
You have got to be one of the most competent guitarists that I've seen in my life. Your guitar skills are insanely good. Keep up the good work!
You deserve more more more subscribers. Sana makilala ka ng buong pilipinas, pati na rin sa buong mundo. Galing mo pre! More power!

If you haven't seen his Playing God cover, that one is even better imo
@@orinblank2056 of course I have, this guy's been a star for a while hahah. I actually prefer this new cover!

Okay, I thought I was the only one who didn't like it very much. Very skilled to play this but composition - enjoyment wise - not for me.
Greatest polyphia cover on youtube
All of the guitars played together is so nice
Can't imagine the amount of patience needed to learn the full song... Congrats!
Love that your style is acoustic, but Vai's part sees you venturing to new heights for the audience. Awesome!
1:01 this actually gave me goosebumps. I didn't know it would sound so good in acoustic.
the whole video was impressive, but man from Steve's solo to the outro is just perfect.
I love how he used the guitar that he won in a Polyphia contest in this video. Thank you for sharing your amazing skills.
tbh that guitar has the worst tone here 😂
Bravo! Very impressive cover. There is a "feel" that comes across with this cover that I haven't seen anywhere else.
Bro is cracked. Damn man I can't even play one note from Tim he just did the whole band including Steve Vai. A legend in the making. 💥💥💥🌟🌟
You’re so talented! It’s insane. Tim and Polyphia really need to see this and react to it.
His skills brahh!! and the motivation to do that hardwork, practice and grind for this video. His skills speak volumes man!
Outstanding Work Paolo. What you pulled of here is insane, mad respect!
that steve vai's part was perfect, the tone, the execution, its so good
You know what’s funny is that as I listened, I remember thinking “this doesn’t sound all THAT great” lol.
But in my head, I was comparing this singular guy to the entirety of Polyphia and their highly-produced track, and then I realized just how good this guy is that my brain was subconsciously doing that.
Same I was like this isn’t very good sound wise but I know he’s like 60 million times better than me lol
He doesn't play on electric guitar. Acoustic is harder to play because you need to press harder 😔
There is this limitation to the sound that acoustic guitars (and the electrics) can produce; surely this is already the best-sounding cover it possibly is, without any multi-tracks involved in the sense that there is only one recording of each type of guitars involved in this cover
Amazing! I ran that Scott section back quite a few times. And your were smooth as hell during that Steve Vai/Acoustic mix. 💯👏
Sickeningly good. Love and respect from here
That was dope dude. Very cool.
Epic arranged ever
Nails like that is a sign that this man is a guitar god
Lord of Fingerstyle
it goes hardest at 2:45 no doubt in my mind the acoustic sound on that riff is crazy
Holy crap that was amazing. Nice use of different guitars, they all fit where they need to be. Only thing missing was a whammy bar! Execution was flawless and cinematography was also great
Polyphia songs probably one of the hardest to play yet he is taking it like he owns it. Goodluck
The Steve Vai part is sooo hard! Congratulations on the whole piece!
No not at all. Vai part was generic just a Pentatonic scale solo

This is definitely the best cover I've ever seen and probably will ever see.
Raw and as close to Tim yet your own much respect brother keep up the great work ! 5 stars here
Congratulations Paolo. That's amazing, simply amazing.
I knew you were good at fingerstyle but man, you can absolutely shred too! bravo
This is incredible! I want to see Polyphia reacting to this so much.
Rarely see this guy play on electric guitar 🔥🔥 love it
man, paolo, you need to start a band now. I'll stan. The pinoy community should be proud we have you!
The Scott le page slap guitar part is very very clean and the second part of the Steve vai sólo , so Greta Job man , good guitar cover 👌🏻
11/10 You're a S++ tier guitarist!

loved the acoustic tone

No joke, Gans talent is boundless
Dude, you are awesome! Seeing you play gives me a feeling of pure peace.
The part before Steve Vai’s solo on acoustic sounds awesome
And the brasstracks part on the nylon string at the end is just beautiful
Insane bro
This masterpiece deserves more views.
Ok you are an actual legend dude this is insane
Eargasm, this was so ridiculously fantastically amazing...SHEESH 🤩
I love how raw this is!
Beautiful sir!
woooohhh awesome . .. . . . .
I was so impressed when I noticed that you played Val's part without the tremolo.... you're astonishing
The action on that acoustic is butter!
dayyum, this's so amazing brookk 🙏
Grabe to. Masterclass playing. Note per note. Husay mo sir 10/10! Hands down
This covers brings me so much joy !! Amazing work of art my friend Paolo!! Keep doing that
I'm so happy you're getting the recognition you deserve. This is great! You're the best ❤
This is absolutely gorgeous dude, congrats. This must have taken so much practice. The acoustic sliding just sounds incredible. Great camera work too
Wow. Super galing lodi. Pa request naman ng Highway Star.
WOOOWW THIS IS INCREDIBLE
The fact that you made this sound excellent as 1 musician is incredible. Definitely wont say better than the original, but being so close vs 5 of the best living players is outstanding.
Just unreal. It's like getting to see Polyphia unplugged, but somehow better.
Just how
This is so impressive, great job
Insane that he plays this all fingerstyle so elegantly when it is played on a 7 string at parts of the song
Napakahusay mo! Grabe..Sana pagpatuloy mo lng ang passion mo.. ..ang galing!!
This guy is so hardworking thumps up
love that it's just the guitar and nothing else, super clean, best of luck on your career man
Obsessed with that percussive technique! I would love to see your take on some of Mike Dawes songs.
Amazing. It's awesome how well that fender sounds in your hands!
Lolo Vai and the rest of the Polyphia must be proud of you! Your electric guitar skills is a revelation! 😮
ego death chillax ver.
galing mo pre!
absolutely awesome keep it up
This is absolutely mind-blowing and I did not expect the electric guitar at the end.
This. Is. Incredible.
Damn you the man
Great cover!
And nice improvision for lacking of whammy bar on steve vai's part
Looking forward for the next polyphia cover ❤
those HARMONICS!!! OMG
This guy never misses!
Prodigy child doing some other masterpiece. I like everything you made
huge respect for u man!
Seriously skilled musician! This was a pleasure!!
