![Can I learn Playing God on violin in only 30 minutes? [Polyphia 🎸]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/gpfupoTVW9U/mqdefault.jpg)
this is the closest I’ll ever get to playing this song…
😂😂😂 fuckin same
real (real)
ahahaha exactly
this is the realest real of real
Facts!
I can imagine Tim trying really hard not to swing his head around
I was thinking this same thing haha
So true lmao
Poor dude probably had a vein or two popping on his forehead halfway through X)
it's a good thing the winner of their guitar didn't do this challenge
this is what i thought the moment i saw the pov cam but u can see that he still shook his head a few times
For some reason i'm fascinated not only by his magical hands but also by his black nail polished feet clad in the fluffiest slippers I've ever seen.
Can confirm.
His style matches his playing. Metal but also very sweet.
dudes fucking majestic and comfortable
fr
If Tim ever has kids, I'll be extremely disappointed if they weren't triplets
This comment is legendary! Lmfao!!!
Fave comment lmao
names would be, bender, harmonic, and kord
i hate you
Too much gay to have triplets.
He paid for the whole guitar, he’s gonna use the whole guitar.
You think Tim pays for his guitars? 😂
@@Le5Pau1 At the least the first one hahahahahah
He just has better notes.
Only six strings?
hahaha!that's good point!
I like how he's trying to resist his head movements.😊
That's probably the stabilizer doing stabilizer things.
Yeah he started at one point and then was like wait no I can't ahahaj
haha yea saw it at one point in the beginning but then he stopped
I was thinking this as soon as I clicked the video lol. Well spotted that he isn't just eyes closed scanning the wall that doesn't exist.
1:05 hahaha
felt like I was the rat in Ratatouille😂
THAT IS RATSTOUILLE DAWG
this guy is so good he should definetly play in a band
Exactly what I thought
He's already playing in a band named "Polyphia"
He knows, it’s a joke
@@anonymous_kid6854 wow! as if i didnt notice
@@anonymous_kid6854 r/whoosh
Now i can see what it looks like to be good at guitar in first person thank you!
At least you don't play like me😂😂😭
to be god** at guitar in first person
real POV would just be eyes closed bopping head around
This camera angle is doing something special in my brain. It feels so much easier to comprehend what's happening, this is cool! Would love more!
Mirror neurons my man. Look it up
It’s probably because this is the way you view a guitar every time you play so anything you learn is done from this view.
Right? Like it's still hard but now it doesn't seem impossible
@@tshafeyeah, from that angle you can actually comprehend what he’s doing and the methods he’s using
yeah you get a clear view of those mighty fine toes
Casually shredding while he shows off painted toenails, crossed legs and fuzzy slippers. What a legend. 😂
1:10 I love when he comes back in with those 3 hard strums to give it that kick back into the full chorus, my favourite part of the song
Same
Yep the infamous Polyphia glitch effect
This video really makes you FEEL like you're Tim Henson.
Edit: it's hilarious that you can still tell he's doing his signature head bopping from the camera movements haha
let's be honest it's impossible to play this without bobbing your head (once you have finally managed to learn it)
Me watching this, in front of the same desk, with the same keyboard/trackpad combo, and a guitar stand to my left. Uncanny.
It makes me feel I suck at guitar 🫣
When i watch this video it feels like I’m inside of Tim Henson himself 🤯🤯
Yes it I’m left handed soo at the same time no
I actually got it down around 75% speed in the easier parts and like 45% speed for the rest. This song alone has improved my guitar playing so much. My new practice routines include just polyphia songs. No better practice for accurately hopping all over the fretboard
Best wishes to you! 🫶
It's a bit of a flex, but it's also true. I'm working on the GOAT riff, and it has that gradual escalation of difficulty that makes for a really good etude.
I got a question. Did you learn any other tutorials or methods before trying this out? if i were to say my level im pretty intermediate, struggle a bit with barre chords on acoustic and no nothing of scales on the fretboard besides pentatonic (a bit). should i know more or it doesnt matter. what was your routine before this?
@@BeatsShay I bet you can try to learn it, I learned the main riff on my accoustic guitar (folk) while being intermediate too, and, actually, the first comment is right, my guitar playing really evolved since I learned this riff (I also learned GOAT, The Worst, the feat with No Trust, and lalala, again just the main riff)
@@BeatsShay I'd recommend learning hybrid picking. A lot of their riffs use this technique and it is something I wished i started practicing sooner.
I'm actually in the process of relearning how to pick because a lot of their songs were impossible with the way I had originally played
I think the most interesting part of this for me was getting to see Tim's thumb placement. Something we so rarely get to see on any guitar videos, but is so important.
I'm an old assed guy who loves metalcore and thrash, but nothing makes me happier than having a band like Polyphia to excite me to here something new, fresh, outside the box, and simply entertaining to listen to as a guitarist.
The sound of Playing God was very fresh. I was surprised Polyphia did something like this. Then they became my favorite band
1:03 even in pov we still get the signature tim henson headbang
Haha yee! 😅
Super cool to see this from this angle! it really makes you appreciate all of the little nuances in Tim's playing
Totally
Plus you get to see his painted toenails 😂
I love the head bop at 1:04 when the beat dropped
me too-- you can tell that he was mostly trying not to move his head too much, but he couldn't help himself haha. i can't either.
Some of these chord shapes are wild. And you just chop across like 10 of them in a matter of a few seconds. Crazy stuff. Thanks for uploading this. Very cool to see it from a guitarist's angle.
This allows me to discover even more difficulties of this song as if it wasn't hard enough
I believe for everyone to be able playing this songs, all you need is self discipline and focus on your purpose
You're right
@@Laura.Cynthia Can you?
@@justcallmemoses no Sir 🙏🏻😅
How nice of Tim to let his fans experience playing this song
2:42 is the coldest riff Tim has written IMO
That little melodic section at 2:05 - 2:13 gets me every time.
02:43 is where the madness really begins. watching the usual angle it looks hard, but looking from this angle it looks near impossible at that speed, my fingers were already feeling like spaghetti knotts
I dont even play the guitar but that part is just insane. My fav part of the song
It's honestly the trickiest part to play, i've spent more time refining that riff than the rest of the song
@@txuan4043 my second fav part, i like the first solo part best, then the ender
Tim himself called that part "A big bitch to try to figure out how to play it" in numerous videos
his hand freakin gets possessed by a spider at that part, it's insane
Tim is really leading the way with guitarists being accessible to fans in a way I've never seen before.
Tim Henson nails it with classical guitar. His finger skills are spot-on. The musical piece has a ton of details; it's really fascinating, like a work of art. I'm tackling it step by step. It's a fun process but also a pretty intense training journey.
This is massively helpful in understanding what you're doing Tim, I absolutely appreciate you being so open with your technique. A lot of artists like to keep this sort of thing "secret", you're a special individual. Kudos.
Thanks Tim! Now I can finally pretend I’m as good as you at guitar.
This is really helpful because we can see exactly how he fingers and picks every note! Still can't play it though 😅
Same bud
This really helps me in learning the song perfecting the syncopation on the faster bits. Almost there! Those last few runs are insane with the hammer ons and pull offs are insane. Your playing is so clean, props to you man, such an inspiration
Thank you so much. This view makes it much easier to follow your patterns and movements. Watching you play is amazing
I love that you can tell when he zones into the Grove when the camera snaps around lmao
for those who want to know, as being a member he already did a cool pov tutorial of the riff of this song, and more, + some cool interaction as posts and Q&A videos quite often so for now its a cool thing this membership in my honest opinion
You sound like a bot
This song has been on my brain since I heard it a couple of weeks ago and I can't get enough. Thanks so much for this POV of the masterpiece.
Just got my first guitar, more PoV shots are really appreciated, first time actually seeing someone do this and it helps so much just imagining each move that comes next.
This is crazy how this sounds... I have no problem with post processing, effects, it totally belongs to making good sound and good music... but achieving this on a acoustic guitar... speechless
It's the exact guitar he uses on album for this song.
@@mike6515I think it's unplugged no?
@@ruffuls4212that’s literally what it says in the title 😂
@@thestoebz oh shit it right my bad 😂😂
@@ruffuls4212 it’s all good bro lol
I think it is so awesome that at some parts during the song (such as 2:38) he not only picks the strings but also finger picks it too. Tim, you're amazing haha
Yeah hybrid picking is a massive part of his technique. It's actually not too difficult to learn but it's crazy useful for people who prefer to use picks. I never could switch between pick and finger reliably without dropping the pick or holding it weird etc. and having a huge delay when switching. Hybrid picking solves that perfectly.
@@Xtrendence I need to try this out then.
@@papercoolcat he dos it through the entire song btw
What's more impressive is his hybrid picking in his right hand. As a fingerstyle player, I couldn't play it like that if I tried. I've learned the intro with classic fingerstyle.
I think I'm most impressed with the creativity and ability to compose the song. It is truly amazing.
This song is one of my greatest find on the internet. The solo at the end literally brings tears to my eyes
Same here, I can't even begin to describe why either. It's literal perfection to me.
The fuzzy slippers go hard.
I love this angle, gives you perspective and makes you understand how hard it is to actually play
How the hell did he not bob his head while playing this ? Amazing lead guitarist of this generation
This man’s precision is just incredible. I can’t ever go fast and maintain this level of accuracy. Wow.
He’s been playing 20 years lol makes sense fr
@@tylerparkermusic There I was feeling bad for Tim being a guitar god and 2 years younger than me. I've been playing for about 14 years
0:34 he kinda missed the rhythm right here
@@prasanna5954 God stuff, don't worry about it
You never fast even compare to ukelel player. Stay hidden
so are we just not gonna talk abt those slides he’s wearing ??? they look so comfortable😭
This actually helped me understand how so many parts are possible to be played. Thanks king 👑
This actually very helpful and instructive.
More like this one Tim!
Dude this is such a great idea. You just started something that we'll start seeing more and more. Really interesting to see you actually play it from a "player's perspective" 🙏
Definitely! Kinda mindblown tbh lol. Such an easy fix for a problem i think many guitar players have with watching guitar lessons hehe.
@@menamgamg Yeah I've seen Ichika Nito do the same thing a few months ago, with a camera on his head.
Very good idea especially for tutorial type videos.
@@usuallyclueless4477 These guys are taking it to the next level and i love it ;D I've been playing for 15 years and always learned a lot from watching CZcams and i can't remember ever seeing a video like this.
i'm glad somebody knows what POV means for once
Yes
@@christiantaylor1495 Yes
Flawless!! Great style, technique and most important...great composition!!
bro is legs crossed with fuzzy slippers like hes playing 4 chords 💀
Thinking about Tim holding the camera in his mouth while trying to sit in a classy way is so hilarious
As a guitar player I find it very interesting how I was able to make sense of everything because of this camera angle.
I'm also extremely curious how many times you have played this through to be able to nail every single note so clean.
I wouldn't mind seeing more pov stuff like this I can kind of see your approach better
Do you think more the 1k?
considering he plays this song quite a few times a week on tour, I really dont think he's having to do a bunch of takes in a studio haha. It's not like this is some kid on the internet trying to play the song. Hes a pro, this is probably a single take.
@@justcallmemoses definitely
Honestly I love the work you be doing tim, keep killing it, you and the rest of the band, your All-stars and rock on man
I wish more videos were shot like this. This just makes so much more sense for my brain to pick up on whats actually being done.
It's so mesmerizing how much fret space this song covers, thanks Tim!
The best shoes for playing such an impressive song :D also I started learning guitar after hearing "Playing god" for a first time and I am having a blast while playing, thank you very much
Awesome to see it up close bud. Can’t wait to play this live with you this summer in Wisconsin!
What an impressive and complicated playthrough. Really enjoyed watching you play this. Craziest part is the end. What da heck? Amazing Song.
I wish more people did tutorial videos using this perspective - thanks for this very helpful piece!
This video cured my arachnophobia.
the black toenails and white fluffy slippers go so hard
This is amazing to watch no matter what the POV is, I'm saving up to buy this guitar as my old acoustic is just too beginner and not easy to play. Thanks for the incredible music Polyphia ❤
Well this is something I never knew I needed
You read my mind in way I didn't think about
Yoooo actually do more first person POV stuff when you play! It's really cool being able to see it from your perpective!
This is great, we need more POV playing
2:42 onwards his hands be looking like a spider crawling
Your so good, you are literally a good part of what motivates me to play guitar everyday I'm 17 just wish I started playing sooner
Same
it's never too late
@@abruoon yea ik, just wish I got into it when I was younger so I could be further ahead than I am now
@@Ghostynovus If you practice well you'll leave many of the early starters in your wake in a year or 3.
@@Ghostynovus I agree with Mark here! Just keep practicing with fun! ^^ I play for 13 years now but switched styles a lot and never had a practice routine besides learning some songs. I always feel embarrased when people ask me for how long I play guitar because I could be way better (secure/ efficient/ fretboard-knowledge/etc.) :D
Good luck on your journey!
my guitar doesn't do that
The sweep picking is so cool to me, its just so smoothly integrated.
the speed is crazy, awesome insight into what its like to play this as you :)
I vote (demand) we get a POV for every song off the new album
Tim POV is next level 💯💯🔥🔥
What we really needed
I've seen a bunch of guitar playthroughs from many bands, but never a POV playthrough. Game changer. Also, that was pretty damn sick.
The amount of joy you give me with this is unreal
I'm mainly a metal guitarist, and not that good but love writing stuff and challenging myself. Sat down this morning and decided to buy the tabs from them and try learning the intro. This is so fucking hard. I can barely get the first 4 bars right at a slow pace. Thanks for this video Tim, it's super helpful to see your hybrid picking. I've only ever used hybrid picking for simple slow stuff. Never like this. It's dope.
Hey, how's it going? Is there any progress?
ur rad broo
Please upload short video about your progress sir
at 0:41 his fingers look like a spider thats crawling at you menacingly
Your right
Super cool! Need more stuff from this angle...like, everything.
Really like how this is mixed. More of this please.
Tim's playing is so good that it bended the guitar itself
😂
At 1:05 we all experience what it’s like when he does his signature head nudges at this part 😂
Awesome. Thanks for letting us see different angles
I just now realized that he's playing with a plectrum together.
That’s pretty cool. When learning a song by watching we have to translate the horizontal positions when looking at the fret board of the player. In this case we get an aerial view, how we naturally see out hands when playing. More intuitive It would be cool if more guitar vids/tutorials did this. Learning the bossa nova section currently, and will see if this makes a difference in terms of learning more efficiently.
Tim is so bbg like he’s everything I wanna be. Wearing his fluffy slippers, fluffy pants, painted toe nails and crossed legs all whilst being fully tatted and edgy 😫😫
Very true. I was waiting for someone to mention the painted toenails
I bet it’s just for sh*ts and giggles with the open toe slippers. 😅
Was looking for this comment 😂😂. He’s such a cutie. I love him ❤
@@iitstre_4550 ur gay
@@nougatsoup queer
What a fantastic idea for a video. Answers SO many questions without even saying anything!
His fingers like a spider crawling over his guitar. *INSANE!!!*
The closest thing I can do to match this, is buy white slippers and paint my toe nails! See you in Manchester
I can't believe I didn't realize I just need to wear white fuzzy slippers to play this riff properly
Art and it's finest, thank you for sharing your gift.
Very cool. This helped me a lot with parts that were not 100% clear, thanks!
La canción que me enganchó a Polyphia ❤
POV Being God
Wow, your virtuosity on the guitar is absolutely mind-blowing! Your unique style and unparalleled skills have left me speechless. I've never witnessed anyone play the guitar like you do. It's as if you've unlocked a whole new dimension of music. Keep enchanting us with your exceptional talent and continue to inspire aspiring guitarists like me. You're truly one in a million!
Absolutely amazing!!
There needs to be more POV guitar videos. I could learn songs so much easier with videos like this
yes - Imagine going back to 1978 and getting a GoPro view from EVH playing Eruption - So much to learn, and so awesome to share all of the secrets with the next generation of players who will blow the next generation of our little minds wide open!!! Thanks for this - - - and would also love to see similar from Tim's other Polyphia brethren - - - you guys are all amazing musicians each in your own way - - many minds are out there waiting to be blown. Thank you!
Invest
Now time to go get some vr goggles so I can play this as well as Tim for once
Wow seeing it from this angle is amazing! Great idea
I've been trying to learn this song the last 3 months and it's really helpful to see which fingers he uses for certain notes, shapes, harmonics and other small accents. Still can't play it anywhere close to full speed on the end section lol. But thank you for this blessing of a video.
