01:50 Trying To Learn Playing God, rip. - Hudba
I can really feel this haha 😂 now imagine learning this while Tim is siting sideways to the camera and you can't see what he is playing. Real pain...
Yeah, i cant tell you how thankful we are for you doing it. Your videos helped a lot of people to learn stuff until they could listen themselves
@@luryas626 thank you for watching 🙂 really glad you find the videos useful
not only that, but the video has audio sync delay 😭
Tim watching this: 🫰😈🫰
@Rexon Piol thanks for watching man! Knowing that the videos are helpful is really motivating
That's not even a partial failure. It's actually a partial success... being able to play that small part of a song that complicated (even though it's not at its full speed), written by a guy like Henson, it's pretty impressive, to be honest.
I've just pressed the Subscribe button after watching this video. It's very inspiring.
Thank you so much! I gotta revisit it and make a cover now! Really appreciate your kind words and support ☺️🖤
i agree , did the same ( subscribed and liked after that)
you r doing great, Sophie
@@SophieBurrell just buy the tab is like $5
@@naegleriafowleri2230 in my opinion, when learning by tab you aren't actually "learning". Sure it gets you to a similar destination but knowledge comes from the process. I also high key hate tabs haha, hurts my eyes and feels like reading confusing ass books
@@SophieBurrell I actually whole heartedly agree.
Tabs are good when first starting out, but learning by ear is very powerful once trained.
That, and watching someones hands whilst they play!
That was a really stunning effort, top notch.
- strumming non-sensically after realizing how difficult something is
- "But that's where his finger is, what tf?"
- "I'm doing this less than half the actual speed..."
- Monologuing
Yep. As a guitarist for 15 years, I can feel this video in my bones.
Nylon strings, type of guitar, pic use vs finger (yes a different sound is produced), bolero style training. I've been a guitarist for 5 years and can't match his tone and speed. Then again, I started on classical guitars.
Omg it’s insane that she only took 2hours of practice and got the hang of it. She didn’t even have tabs or anything to help. She heard it and found the chords and repeated it. 😲 I’m awed with the talent both of you have.
Thank you so much!!🖤
That's standard, TABs are mostly for beginners, you should be able to repeat the song by hearing it and experimenting.
@@holliswilliams8426 after years of practice. Not everyone has an ear for that, or the patience lol
@@holliswilliams8426 what a bullshit
O have the ear, but not the patience 🤣
Tim's style is so unique. It's gonna take a lot of practice to nail his songs but in a different direction. Hardly anybody plays guitar in his style which is why even great guitarists like Sophie find it extremely tough to play Tim's parts. It's almost like playing a different instrument altogether
That is so true, his approach to guitar is incredible...wish I could sit inside his brain for just an hour haha
Evryone is master in ther own sty i mean all the legends l its not only about tim .... Tim hav his own styl ,petrucci hav his own styl ,dimebag had his own styl etc etc......
Sophie styl is also diffrnt so u find it hard at first try but thats nothing hard for you i can bet because no can master anyone styl in one day or few hours and also no one can play your styl in few hours if the genre is diffrnt it will obviously be hard 🔥
Scott is just as good. Theyre both great guitarists.
It's almost like sophie isn't good.
i always played stuff sort of in that way , with way less technique and harmonics , and since i found polyphia i improved so much in guitar, im currently half way through this song , not their hardest except some parts, but i love that it’s on acoustic since acoustic is much harder than electric specially a classical with nylon strings
Tim writes a lot of his riffs in a DAW and then learns the part afterward, that probably accounts for a lot of the unique feel he has when playing.
I never thought about doing that but using a daw to write is less time consuming
What's DAW?
@@shambhavipataskar3699 Digital Audio Workstation. Programs like FL Studio, Ableton, those kinds
@@shambhavipataskar3699 It's a digital audio interface
@@shambhavipataskar3699 DAW is Digital Audio Workshop. You do your recording there. Programs like Ableton, Reaper, FL Studio are all DAWs, for example
Hey everyoneee, I hope you find entertainment in my suffering...somehow hahaha. What should I try and learn next?

Thanks for the content Soph
Well Black Star from Yngvee is a good starter tune :)
czcams.com/video/dmFzT_BtVLk/video.html
Editing this 2 hours down into 13 minutes must have been a challenge as well.
Some petrucci stuff maybe out of the blue or glass-eyed zombie
I gotta say very enjoyable to see somebody talented the work it still takes and I would have dropped at LEASTTTTTT 50 more F bombs so lol
I was learning this using his unplugged version at half speed, started getting the hang of it, was pretty happy, then I put the vid back to normal speed just to hear it again, and then I put my guitar away 😂
Massive respect for your transparency on showing the real struggle. Music videos these days are so perfect that they've become almost boring.
It would take a tremendous amount of patience just to learn and execute what you just did here. Hats off to you.
This was really cool. It’s nice to see someone genuinely learn a song on camera. A very encouraging video. Gonna check to see if your other vids are like this.
i got recommended this video randomly, never seen your channel before. loved this vid so much, it’s incredibly impressive how you were able to learn this much in just 2 hours. you got a lot of it down on your 150 BPM attempt and i think you did really well on your lower BPM attempts as well.
i love your monologuing throughout the video and your thought process while trying to learn this masterpiece of a song. great idea, great effort, great execution. liked and subbed
Hard song to tackle!!! glad you posted your adventure into this song, no matter where it ends up, it's still the process, not the destination
I've had my Lava ME2, for a few years now, and I still love it's basic onboard effects, super playability, and incredible durability (for outside playing). Cool you're trying one out
Definitely paints a real picture of how learning something like this looks like, can't wait to see what comes next on this channel, subscribed
So many guitar players lose their fingers on Polyphia's tracks...and so few show the self-sacrifice and patience it takes to master them. Thank you for these videos, I love this concept!
get more tattoos you'll gain his power
Tim is on a different level than most of his contemporaries. He plays so well and so different its mind bending. Playing God is an appropriate song name because you have too be a Godly player too both write and play this piece.
I personally don't like his style. He deliberately refuses to play the guitar in a manner that is 'guitarish'. I get what he's doing, I just don't like it.
@@Tasmanaut so envious XDXD
@@fernandorodrigues2341 of what?
@@Tasmanaut the hell do you mean playing it in a way thats not guitar? Not even the greatest guitarists have mastered the guitar, meaning the possibilities in the way it can be played are virtually limitless
@@Tasmanaut LOL
This was a great video! It's so good to see a talented guitarist struggling at learning a song from ear. I find it so frustrating trying to learn stuff from ear and this really helped me. All you see on CZcams are perfect takes of extreme shredding, this video was real and that means so much.
Thank you for sharing this!
i struggle to learn anything, even sat with guitar tab and a video lesson haha, actually i even struggle to remember how to play things I WROTE! ah well, it is what it is, as long as you have fun.
Thanks Sophie! This was truly inspirational! I struggle like this playing classical guitar or insanely fast lead guitar solos! It's actually encouraging to see players as good as you struggle too!
Incredible work SOPHIE. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible weekend. Much love
That became IMPRESSIVE at the very moment you started learning this riff WITHOUT TABS and got it right at (almost) every note. I was especiallysurprised about you getting right that harmonic part after C-major-sounding chord because for me that would be impossible. And you did it in 1,5 hours approx. whilst it took me 2 days! My sincere compliments on your skills!
that was actually inspiring, it would've taken me a lot longer to get to that point
Found this video recommended after watching Tim's video and I gotta say, watching your improvement over the course of this video was so fun! When you played that section at 138 BMP it was really exciting, I was like "holy shit it sounds so on point!!" Great video!!
The back crack was legendary.
Thank you for posting this and all of your other videos you are a delight to watch! In my eyes you are a tremendous musician and your personality just sparkles!
thanks so much!
I don't even play guitar but I enjoy your videos SO much. You are so contagious that I may have to expand beyond clarinet and sax and learn the guitar! You are so talented, but aren't afraid to put yourself out there and struggle to learn something new and difficult. I really respect you for that! I am not one to write comments very often, but please know that I am one who is out here enjoying your content immensely!
thank you so much!! That really means a lot to me. Nobody is perfect and I wanna show the not so pretty parts too, I think it's important to show the work that goes into the "end thing"!
This was in my feed. It was one of the best videos I’ve seen in a while. Believe it or not you are an excellent teacher young lady. Far too many guitarists on CZcams are forever asking for tabs. Meanwhile the person is playing the song right in front of their collective f@ces. I prefer your approach to learning. Granted that guy is a monster player. I applaud you and think you’re an excellent guitarist.
Subscribed.
Thank you so much for the lovely words! 🖤
Great attitude - all round also showing honestly your frustrations and how you deal with them inspiring other people to accept there will be stumbling blocks but to have faith in self to persevers in time as well as take breaks.
You're an excellent guitarist. This is one heck of a song to attempt. I have a tip for learning by ear. When you practice, sing every note you play. Start with scales. Once you build up that relation in your mind, if you can sing it you can play it. It takes years to master this technique (eapecially whem you start singing harmonies to what you're playing. ie: Gilmore), but you absolutely will see positive results in your ear training right away and eventually it makes learning by ear amazingly easy, not to mention how it will help your writing and improvisation. Keep on rockin 🤘🏼
Fair play Sophie, what you achieved in two hours would probably take me two weeks, definitely a success if you ask me! 🙌🏼 well done 👏🏼
The harmonics which you were looking for at 5:24 are on the 19th fret and it sounds the same as the harmonics on the 7th fret but it's difficult to go back to 7th fret at that speed so he played it on the 19th. Love your content Sophie !
This video was pretty engaging. I was able to gleam some insights on video flow and techniques from your video so thank you for being a good teacher.
this is actually amazing work after 2 hours! Such a quick learner. Well done! Wanna hear full cover soon!
Tim Henson has been such a huge musical inspiration for me. Hope to see you attempt more of Polyphia's music. Good job on this one.
This song was so sick to learn. I remember leaning the intro back in the day from the "album 4 teaser" video he put out. It's so creative and fun. The harmonic work is always chef's kiss.
sure
@@23Darrus ?
It was fun to learn back in the day? The song just came out. You sound pretentious
yer mum is chef's kiss.
Post a cover or it didn't happen
Nice job. You re courageuse. Keep going. We love that 🤗
a fun watch! having tried to play a few of tim's riffs, i feel like he has a foundation of techniques a little outside of the realm of 'traditional' electric guitar that are all pretty difficult or awkward, and because he's done them all so much they are effortless to him PLUS he weaves them all together seamlessly. the usual making it look easy thing.
King of the mad riffs meets Queen of the F word. 😂😂😂
Mate it’s giving me the sweats watching. Learning 40oz and The Worst almost made me sell my collection.
The back crack was 358 decibels. 😂
hahahahaha that back crack was actually my soul breaking in half
@@SophieBurrell 😂😂😂😂
Mad riffs nah would call his playing "mad riffs" it's just a lot of harmonics with random timings
@@raynman6466 almost almost his stuff is 4/4 and 3/4
Wow, your ability to figure out everything he was doing so fast was really amazing and inspiring. That would take me weeks to get! Good job!
Wow, watching this video, and not being a guitar player myself. REALLY makes me want to go buy one! I know you have experience with playing but seeing you find some kind of success in something as beautiful as Playing God really makes me want to explore a fretboard for myself and see what I could discover! Great video, seriously!
Strumming to the beat of the metronome out of frustration is so fucking relatable :D Great work on this! Subbed
That is unreal!! Wow! I wish I had the ability to learn like this! That wad amazing!!
When I try something new, the first day always feels like a wash. But then I sleep and the next day, it almost rolls out of me without effort. I would love to see a followup of this one, even if it's only a quick social media post because I bet you nail it the next time you try!
love this, seeing someone great at guitar showing the struggle and anger that guitar really is, angry strum to a metronome is relatable.
This is a beautiful effort 💗 your approach to playing is not dissimilar strangely enough to the general approach used by myself in my college years. Classical
Yoooo 10:53 you went off! I really enjoyed watching the progress you had on this, really!
Im impressed with the fact that you actually tackled this song… Just in general LOL You handled this entirely too well. I’m looking forward to seeing the video of you finally conquering this insane thing lol
It’s nice to see that you’re human and not insecure. I am willing to watch videos by almost any skill leveled guitarist, so long as they’re humble, and comfortable with their own playing ability, and not trying to hide their actual abilities. :)
so awesome that you are so authentic, I watch some of your videos, but because of this one I just subscribed.
9:52 (Angrily strums dead notes to metronome) Lol I can relate.
hahahahahaha
I love this video - thanks for allowing us to witness what some of us go through very often, the “yeah i can figure that out …. 2 hours later…. Yeah no I’m going to go get a beer!”
Dude you have no idea how much i appreciate you showing the struggle of what it takes to learn songs like this ❤
2 hours and you got all that. That is a huge success. Watching you learn was super awesome and rewarding. You couldnt hear me but i was cheering you on haha. Tim, Scott and the group are just aliens. Amazing job.
That's when you realize Tim Henson is already a living guitar legend at his age.
"One does not simply learn 'playing god' by Polyphia!" Boromir - Lord of the Rings
This is much better than I can do so far! This song is such a pain to learn but it is such an amazing feeling when you can even get passed 6 seconds of the song. Great job!!
Amazingggggg!!! Great job I wish I could learn this fast I've never hybrid picked till now so me trying to wrap my brain around it is pretty tough
I sooooo feel this haha. I’ve just finished learning Scarlet by Periphery and that really tested my patience!
I feel you 😅 ive invested a few weeks of time for scarlet 2 or 3 years ago . Made me a better player for sure
I remember the pain with Scarlet, such a satisfying track to play though!
@@SophieBurrell it’s so much fun. Finished recording and filming it today. Periphery can’t go wrong. It’ll drop Friday if you wanna check it out haha 😛
Actually, this is quite a normal situation like any instrument and any difficult piece you have to work your way through it... I’ve been playing the violin for 16 years and I have sometimes been working days and days on one or two minutes of a 40 minute long piece, without a full success 😂
I think we just have to accept that there are a few things in our society where time needed is incompressible, and that’s right, because we must deserve it haha
Anyway, your playing is great, you should definitely keep working on the piece! Have a very pleasant day
@italkcrab is not her style she mainly plays solos and rock songs lmao
You're amazing! I really like the facial expressions during this trying endeavor, kudos
I just stumbled in your vid and this was entertaining since it is damn relatable. Great channel!
10:35 I looove that part! so soothing
I’ll just start a second channel dedicated to body cracking asmr?
@@SophieBurrell absolutely loving that idea! I can't play any guitar but I basically am thé Tim Henson of back-cracking. Shall I play you a piece to practice? 😂 jk jk, keep up the good work tho! Full song when?
As a drummer, I'm completely in awe of guitarists! All those chords, scales, hand/finger positions look so difficult! I'll stick to sitting down hitting things like a caveman 🤣
learn guitar then
@@caknut you learn guitar then
Drummers are impressive too.
Especially Jazz drummers on various time signatures, Matt Garska, Jeff Porcaro and Clay Aeschliman.
Well I absolutely can’t get limbs independence, so we’re even lol. Guys like Dennis chambers leave me in awe.
That was really interesting to follow! Great job!
Well done Sophie you did really well he has such an unusual style I'm sure you'll smash it eventually! X
There are things I know better than to try. Anything by Tim and Scott is automatically off the table 🤣🤘
Well done on 250k subs. I guess your celebration is pain by learning this song 🤣🤣🤣
That back-crack sounded like absolute heaven
Great video Sophie, that was an awesome attempt 😀🤘🎵🔥🔥🔥🔥
no lie it feels like I'm relearning guitar when playing this song haha. The hybrid picking is crazy.
Every guitar player is trying to learn this piece. It's actually very reassuring to watch an excellent guitar player struggle with it as much as I am. Instead of Lucas Brar playing along with it and then making it even harder.
Proud of you no matter what! Thanks for sharing! Miguel 🇵🇷
Love your content ❤
So funny to see, that we all seem to have these frustration points to pass.
No matter, how advanced we are. 👍🏻😉
Great video As always Sophie. I learn songs the same way so I can relate to the struggle
Its my first time viewing your channel and girl you are amazing and one of a kind and mad respect for you.
Tim is an awesome guitarist, but please don't forget Scottie LaPage who matches Tim but is almost never mentioned. The whole band is a mix of incredibly talented musicians, but Tim seems to get all the wow factor. Great job Sophie!! 2 hours to get where you are with it is amazing! I couldn't hope to get where you are in 2 years! :o) xx
I know next to nothing about the band. Are the bassist and drummer top tier as well?
@@OddWheelThriver Absolutely! 😊
@@OddWheelThriver They're all insanely good!
It’s the tattoos bro
Scottie needs a brand - Tim has the hot talented guitarist one already which definitely works wells.
You did this by ear with no tab and managed to get that good at the first part in 2 hours...that's far from a partial failure, that's a huge success, as an experienced guitarist myself it took WAY MORE time for me to get to the speed and the sound that you got in 2 hours, you did great
I really like this video as it shows how most of us will struggle to play by ear and there are those who are gifted (like TheDooo) who can pick up songs with one hearing. This video helps me to want to get back to practicing again. And... I wonder how long it would take TheDooo to get this song... you did a wonderful thing here in showing us to be patient and keep at it to get it done.
That’s some dedication to the craft, you done way better in two hours than I could do a full day! Fucking awesome video, well in
I find that once I reach this point of hitting a wall, it is always easier after sleeping and letting my subconscious do whatever the eff it does to process it. It’s like your brain takes all the messy data you just shoved into it and then defragments it overnight.
Tbf that's exactly what happens
precisely! I need to sit down and give it another good sesh
I like how CZcams shows the most replayed moment was 10:35 LOL!
Technology exposing habits of our boys.
Loved your effort ❤️
What a great try! This is remarkable. I also know this frustration. I'm encountering difficulties at the moment with the end of the riff of "Edge of Desire". And it's been quite a while now. It is getting on my nerves hahaha
Well, you tried to play something absolutely amazing by one of the best guitar players in the world and basically succeeded- good on you for setting your sights high bit also you're probably getting into a pretty low percentile of players who can learn that fast..
hats off to you for learning it without the tabs i could and would never
Hi there from Ireland 🇮🇪. I've always wanted to hear your voice.
Babe your awesome! You inspire me every time I watch and listen to you play.
Thank you for the video! I appreciate the effort.
Amazing!! 🤯 took me twice as long to learn, and I had the sheet music too. The second part (Scott’s) is a little bit easier and super fun to play!
That back crack was everything! I need that in my life!
I'm just an average guitar player. Watching you learn it by ear is so amazing. I am unable to do that though. Still good take. Looking forward you can have your next shot at it soon.
Kudos for putting yourself out there!!! It’s a really tough song to play with all the harmonics and right hand techniques.
Guitar playing has gone full circle to classical music LOL
it’s entertaining to play along too, I had recently dug out my old fender nylon strat and gave it a whirl, aside from callousing it was a success🤘🏻
sub'd because you tried and was bloody entertaining while doing so
was an awesome watch and these generally are never my cup of tea to watch. thank you for changing my mind
Hi my name is Victor from Mexico. I really love this guitar, l'll get one to learn everyday and enjoy the xperience playing. Thank you Sofie for this recomendation. I really enjoy hear you playing guitar and watching videos. Congrats Sofie.
Loved it!! Share challenges there! I play the guitar and I know how tricky things can be
And then you remember they play concerts full of this difficulty level.
Still love playing Champagne by Polyphia though
First time seeing this channel it is nice to not see perfection all the time and realistically show the learning process / frustrations of learning songs on guitar.
Love this!
I should try learning more music by ear.
Sometimes I struggle playing my own music right... it sucks 😔
And it's been a year since I began learning Sentient Glow by Periphery, and I still can't play it nicely up to speed, especially the middle section.
That is really, really good! Especially considering how hard the original is. Well done!
