"In the recording I play it like this, but live I don't because.... It's hard, and I'd rather not". That's a fantastic bit of advice 😂
I love the honesty and the realistic approach to playing live. I saw them in Montreal a while back before Covid and they were amazing.
Interesting what sounds hard and what is actually hard.
🥳
@@RandoBox Its honestly not very hard to add in that little slide, and im not saying that to imply im a great player :) I think they just leave out some subtle things like that which are barely audible anyway and makes it a little less tiring to do a whole show

The Point ist tim and scott Play this blind on stage
There is no flex here he is just reducing error Potential under unforseen circumstances
My dad is a blind guitar player (been playing 52 years). I had to show him this video; the way Tim describes everything made it so much easier for him to learn this song, he loves Polyphia. Very well done!
Your dad sounds like the GOAT 🐐 some of that Jeff Healy bidness
Good for your dad!
Man this feels so heart warming to me ♥ I can never imagine this song to be easy for me (but I switched over to piano anyway) but I can totally understand it could be for some other people because of the incredible effort Tim put into it to explain everything thoroughly and clearly. And your message proves this point in a very lovely way.
I'm sorry but trying to show him is kinda cruel...
Thats sick man
After 9 months of playing guitar I can finally play the first 6 notes at 25% speed! Thanks, bro!
I feel u :(
it took me like 1 and a half year to play this lmao
It's so satisfying to play even tho I can't match the speed and I can't make it sound as good😅
I am done with the first 20 seconds of playing god at 75% after many a month. Time for more
@@ElijahRice-jg1kh unfortunately not🤣
Tim really went from your emo kid shredder classmate to your Jedi auntie who always keep up with the kardashians 💀

underrated comment I'm dying
💀
I actually laughed out loud! 🤣🤣
🤣
In this video, Tim continues his transcendence into an Anime villain, while teaching us that we will never be as good as he is.
I dunno, Guitar Jedi seems more apt for a change.
He just need to dye his hair blonde and he's basically DIO.
@@delbomb3131 For My Ally is the Force Djent, and a Powerful Ally It Is
Imagine havin this guy's attitude lol
@@RobSinner chilled and comfy
I love that you are so happy to teach everyone, some people are so stingy about their techniques. And that you’re so knowledgeable about the theory too is just *mwah*
its cause he knows it doesn't matter if he shows us how to play it we wont ever learn it. its actually him being a dick lol
@@dsanchez523 😂😂😂
he’s teaching people so he can make that cash of his subscriptions 😂
@@Rjborgsyeah because he makes money of of subscriptions 😂
@@deccun whatever that new paid channel is that he’s doing tutorials on is what I’m talking about.
Tim doesn’t need to gatekeep his technique because he knows nobody will be as good as him
Now, where did you forget your confidence?
Well, imagine how many times he has played this song. Thousands of times until it became muscle memory. He’s obviously going to be better than anyone at playing it until somebody else learns it and plays it more than he does
He doesnt have a technique, hes using abasi's lol
@@RAMMY237 You're fucking retarded. This faggot plays soft ass abasi neosoul rip off riffs even softer after letting a team of 5 arrange and rearrange copy paste 2 second sections in guitarpro
I disagree.
The fact that you have no overtly ambitious attitude and are willing to explain your creative nature makes you one of the greatest musicians alive. I mean that. Your willingness to explain your methods, to break things down so that someone even like me can play this riff. After just a few days of practice i have half of this riff down already and NEVER in a million years did i expect to be able to learn this. I would not have been able to otherwise. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Teaching is the greatest tool we have to offer.
Thanks for watching ❤️
Tele_gram me I have a surprised package 🎁 for you .
The speedy part at the end always gets me. The rest is fine, even the parts after the into but that little flex is a bit... Tim Hensony. But for real thanks for taking the time to do this.
Well good for you to be able to follow 😅
never expected to live in times where talented artists would take their time to school others and make free tutorials on the internet
what a time to be alive
thank you!
Thanks for watching

Imagine if he taught everyone how to play every single one of his songs for his fans for free on youtube. What a fucking beast either way. Thank you Tim. You are moving the guitar into a new era! and I like it.
If he does that new guitar player will rise on his technique
He is truly the GOAT.
He's releasing member-only videos now lol
@@slugfest9685 Yeah, he is and I can’t blame him. I’m just thankful dude makes it possible for people be able to learn it from the source. He’s not the only member in the band after all. Money is required to live.
what hasn't he even if he didn't break it down you get everything from the actual official videos this is for beginner to mid level tier guitarist any experienced musician can figure it out
the harmonic work is amazing
I'm pretty sure this is the first actual walkthrough of how to play a song. There's tabs. There's playthroughs. But nothing compares to this. This is a full on walkthrough. I appreciate this alot.
It really is an unmatched tutorial. He's a master communicator. Never thought such hard sounding shit could be so easily explained, in 8 minutes no less. I've said before if he were alive during the classical period his name would be associated with all the greats we know.
The fact that Tim took the time to explain one of his craziest riffs in beginner terms and down to details, so anyone has the chance to at least attempt to learn it...
It's fantastic. What a Legend!
The primordial polyphia riff
Coldest comment
I grew up in the days of trying to acquire tabs from various sources or constantly rewinding cassette tapes. .. but, to have the CREATOR of the song show you is stinking AMAZING.. It adds to why I love your music!
Or playing the record at half speed. What a pain. Lol
I glad I didn’t grow up in that time 😅 it just sounds like such a hassle when it’s this easy now
I got guitar a week ago and have been really eager to learn. My uncle showed me GOAT yesterday and now I've set a new goal for what I want to be able to play. I'm in absolute awe at the skill and nonchalance while playing this riff.....I want to be that good some day
How's it going?
Same here! Started practicing it today :) my fingers and wrist are killing me but I can play the first phrase now! I hope your practice is going well
Nice
Never stop practicing. Practice as much as you possibly can.
Don't forget that practicing with a metronome is one of the best things for you

Never thought I'd be watching a tutorial for G.O.A.T. from a samurai that looks just like that Tim Henson guy from Polyphia
a tutorial on O.D. would be sick. definitely one of your best songs. thanks tim for posting all this cool shit. my favorite guitarist and most inspiring to me and to many. keep doing you man🖤
@im sacred Dude, you're not funny. This shit is old and retarded.
Playing God and 40oz, would be great also
YES
I would LOVE a how-to for OD.
@@hulse.y I bet 40oz is just an easy warm up exercise for Tim lol
@Drink Peaches the how to would basically be "get faster" for 90% of people. Tried it, it's daunting. This is much easier at least to me
Super great to have this freely available. This is what the digital-native musicianship looks like at the highest tier. Thank you Tim for your effort!
fuck is digital native musicianship bruh
@@tpl6963 musicianship in the digital space
They literally took all the tabs down people posted for this song it's the fuckin least he could do
Not to be offencive... But digital native has better alternatives 😅. I'm sure that term is old enough to fly over most people's heads.
The thing that always blows my mind with Polyphia's music is how simple the inspiration is for the music and how deeply they explore the melodies and tones within that inspiration.
Every thing is its own universe.
My head exploded about 14 seconds after Tim started explaining how to play the "simple 8 note melody" LOL. Absolutely love watching him talk about anything. He's always so calm, cool, and so damn nice! ☺
It's amazing how accessible Tim made this, explaining it without theory or chords or notes, easy enough for beginners to follow. Not an easy teaching skill to make things graspable. Rock on
thank u master tim for not gatekeeping plus being kind and actually a good teacher to celebrate what's most importante: people and music together
I actually enjoy the way he teaches this. Instead of going “play these notes” he actually tells where to put your hands. I followed along as someone who only has a decorative guitar and I could pick up some of it just by his directions.
Love all the new generation prodigies and guitarists in general nowadays. When I was growing up the older kids who played guitar wouldn’t show me shit because they wanted to be the guys who played guitar and old heads often had a smugness about them but you and Tosin among others understand when you share your secrets in music for everyone in an accessible way the amount of good music being made will increase exponentially. Keep spreading joy homie
What a priceless tutorial from the man himself... And he is happy to do it for everyone... Tim is so genuine.
None of us can do it like him anyway with all the tutorials in the world. 🤣 It's like Usain Bolt giving you a tutorial on how to run 100m...
He’s just giving us the tabs for free, how generous of him 😸
I mean, tabs are available for damn near every song or jingle on UG
@@ICee712 not by the actual artist and 90% of them are wrong.
@@blues3531 right, a lot of them are incorrect on some phrasing or notes, or even positions. There are many versions, with one usually being voted to the top for its accuracy. Any guitarist worth his salt can usually make the minor adjustments if there was a blunder in the transcription.
I also realize Polyphia is one of the very few artists that refuse the transcriptions of their music to be available on UG
@@ICee712 that's so weird, all their tabs are "there" on UG, but if you try to go into any of them it says Unavailable for legal reasons.
I was one of the unlucky few that payed for these tabs 😭
Really appreciate you generously engaging your fans and teaching them how to play your songs. Real guitar heroes are the ones who help others learn how to do what they do!
2:49 I believe it's tapping fret 19 to open B (like he's doing) for those who are confused.
You'd think with how many tutorials and play throughs Tim has done, we'd finally get it down...
I am at the exact same place I've been ever since the song dropped.
Man I just can't do that fast run no matter how much I try. Fuck me.
@@55avenger I mean, if you're offering...
Sameee 💀
@@55avenger bro I feel u
It’s been the hardest part of the riff for me. I feel like recently I’ve made a huge stride in getting it down, but it’s just so hard to get the whole motion and triplet feel down.
That being said, I’m also fingericking the riff bc my hybrid picking sucks.
You think this one is hard, try learning literally any song on their new album. Goat is easy in comparison lol
The tone is always god tier. I wish he shared the archetype preset or showed how he gets his tones!
The G.O.A.T. preset that he used in this video is included in the Archetype.
The pickups also make a sizable difference in Tone
His Goat Preset is in the Archetype, yet YOUR Rig will make a huge tonal difference. For example, my EMG loaded ESP - FRX ain't going to sound like Tim's Ibanez. But you can mess around with the settings to get decently close. Just a heads-up.
@Marco Lewhite second this, my Chapman still sounds like a piece of shit through the plug-in but it certainly sounds like a much more polished turd lmao
@@NickKendle yhhh i shouldve specified but i meant how he got his tones to sound exactly like the video because the preset is kind of doo doo🤭
These videos are unbelievably inspiring to me. I am what I could only describe as a beginner or a bit further along than that guitarist. Attempting to play anything you've written is very much so like scaling a brick wall. But the in depth videos like this allow me to get a huge amount of value and keep me from getting burnt out looking at tablature. BTW ty for being so cool, I'm the v tall 6'8" dude from the show in sacramento when u toured with coheed. I will not forget how nice you were, or how big scott's nose is.
Absolutely amazing.. and the best part is he doesnt mind sharing knowledge.... i just can't get over his technique... and how easy it's just flowing out of him and you can feel every notation
Tim becoming a Jedi master on the guitar & got the robes to match 🔥👌
Ngl thank you so much. I love it when artists post videos breaking down their riffs or songs allowing people to learn the theory behind songs.
Tim’s contribution to music and especially guitar music is immeasurable … Very cool he is from our town. Live long and prosper Sir …
I'm actually very impressed with myself that I was able to follow along this tutorial and understand each step even though I haven't touched a guitar in what must be over 15 years now.
Thank you for this! Been playing for 35yrs, love learning. I appreciate your innovative approach to guitar. Not many of you come around often enough. So happy to be alive at this time. All the best to you and that fabulous band!
I love that you pointed out some differences in recording vs playing live.
i feel like ive had this music in my heart my entire life and now tim is letting me listen to it for the first time.
Just uploaded a cover of this today and this video was super helpful, thanks. So cool that you take the time to do this, and slightly terrifying that this isn't even the most challenging song on that album let alone across your full catalogue!
As much as I burnt myself out of this song having it on repeat for 5 years, it really never gets old hearing it again
This song got old after hearing it once. Such an annoying song.
@@jamesemerson4102 lmao why are you even here? Imagine hating enough to come to the comments, read them and then leave a negative one lol your life must be sad amigo
@James Emerson then why did you look for the guitar tab? Lmao
Always love it when you find out you’ve been playing parts of the song the wrong way after spending way too much time practicing them!
One of the greatest tutorials I've seen. Managed to grasp it all pretty quickly, gotta get it up to speed now. Big thank you Tim! Keep it up

Thank for giving this Tutorial, its really fun to play your riffs so please continue making these videos.
Love from Germany
Gonna now need a breakdown video for every other Polyphia song. Every one.
😂 right?
I think it's the hair. Has to be.
I don't know what any of this means but just solidifies how much I respect your ability to shred guitar! Thanks for blessing my ears
Recently started watching Tim's vids and i gotta say. He seems like a truly gentle soul.
Thanks for being so kind and teaching this in such a clear and digestible way. The melody reminds me of Augustin Barrios (sp) and some of the etudes he wrote. My son learns a lot from your videos and songs, and is a huge fan of your band. I'm thankful he introduced me to your stuff! Cheers!
Just a heads up, the fluttering frame rate on your video is due to the shutter frame rate not matching the frequency of the lights. Can take a little time to sync them (basically look at screen while changing frame rate slowly until the issue disappears) but it will get rid of those random dark bars in the video. Cheers!
just adjust the Shutter Speed setting until it looks good!
Tim needs someone else doing it for him, he can be lazy at times
Also note : he’s not taking the recording of the video from the camera, he screen recorded the screen preview of the camera from obs
I think most cameras have an option called "anti-banding" for that, where they try to auto-sync up with your light's frequency, but who knows. I was surprised to see the slowly shifting black/white bars at first, but it's not that troublesome.
@@justcallmemoses I think I'm safe in assuming that 99% of people are lazy at times, don't quote me tho
Dope man. Thanks for the content. Always a pleasure to see a musician share their insights/passion
I loved it! I would appreciate more of these tutorials a lot because I am actually trying to learn your songs and it's hard to find actual good tutorials because your songs are hard to play and no one can really do it like you XD this video was very helpful so keep it up! ♥️❤️
I can't imagine the level of genius it takes to conjure up such a unique and amazing riff. You are a God level guitar player, but this song in particular tickles parts of my brain that no other melody ever has
It’s called math rock for a reason. They send an algorithm thru a computer and mid-board and then replicate the numbers to notes with their instruments. Not as crazy song writing as you may think.
Actually goated for this. Keep them up and bring some more tutorials every now and then, they're much appreciated!
Love the tutorial format my guy! And such an epic song too 🔥
Tim out here looking like the Jedi guitar master he is. I love that your approach to music is the love of music and making music with others. Thanks for the comprehensive breakdown
Thank you, Tim Henson! You’re such an inspiration, keep grooving!
hes the smartest guy ever, he blocks any page to learn the song, then he teaches it himself the way he actually plays it and gets paid for it, a genius
At 6:25 Tim says to hammer on the 9th fret of the A string, but it's actually the 7th fret of the A string.
And at 6:17 it sounds like he says to hybrid pick the open E but you actually have to hybrid pick the open B string.
Still the best tutorial for G.O.A.T out there. I'm on and off learning this Song for 2 years now and this video helps alot.
Thanks for watching
Feed back appreciated I have a private discussion with you massage the name above ⬆️via nicegram
And at 2:43 You actually tap 19.
Maybe the guitar is on a different tune and we are the one's mistaken? xD
@@Mateus-dr9mn dat be true
I love your music so much! It`s hard, complex, fun and estetic. You inspiring and motivating me to do my own music and improve my guitar skill. Thank you

Thanks so much Tim for making this video, this is my favourite song of polyphia, it’s simply so cool!
Really appreciate you putting up a tutorial. You’re inspiring guitarists all over the world to pick up and play😊
That's really what Tim wants, for people to get out there and play.
today is one of the day i'm happy the internet is a thing, learning the riff from the dude that actually wrote it is amazing, you should do more of this for your most iconic riffs and maybe release full lessons to sell, i'd certainly buy them
It took me half a year to learn Goat 👁️👅👁️
Also the bells at the intro are cool, but it also sounds delicious played using harmonics.
Also huge shout out to the producer & mixing engeneer.
Also found ways to make the into riff easier without loosing the quality 😎
It's been 1.5 years and I still can't do it. But I have a feeling this year I can finally pull it off
I was practicing goat when this was posted I literally got the notification while practicing it
This is so much more informative and easily explained than everything I’ve seen so far
Tim Henson. Thank you brother for sharing your knowledge. Gives lowly strummers like myself hope. Love you too brother.
I cant get over how nice that guitar sounds my goodness
I don't know what it is about Tim but I cannot get enough of this man's style. Literally, Edward Scissorhands meets Jimmy Hendrix, Harry Styles and Chris Heria.
I love how clear this is as an instructional.
Sharing your gift. Sir you are a gentleman and a scholar. I am a lady fast approaching autumn years who doesn't play guitar, but I can appreciate your unique brilliance. The world needs teachers like you. Pure gold.
Holy shit, are you saying that's a dude?
@@MrNiceGuy2323 As far as I am aware 😊very stylish too.
how can you not love this guy, he shared everything to all his fans.
This guy’s not even close to the song. Waiting until Marty Swartz does this song lesson instead…
Ur kidding right 😂😂😂😂
Bruh he made the song
lol
Marty is the man
Umm ok then. 🤣
Learned it so quickly, thank you tim! I loved this type of video
Beginner at guitar and finding this not too difficult to follow along to compared to a lot of videos out there and for a song I love too, which is very encouraging for me so thank you!
In all seriousness though - how did you actually come up with this Tim - I have seen how you create etc
But just how you mix the different styles and techniques etc is just phenomenal
The amount of people who play guitar and have over all of time - nobody had ever thought of the instrument like you do
Sincerely Thankyou for sharing - you are a once in a generation player who has single handedly changed the landscape of guitar forever
I imagine there have been tons of cool riffs lost forever all those time people got into a flow state and didnt get the idea out on paper or record it. It is a truly unique style though.
he has a video somewhere on his channel
He listened to Jaden Smith (unironic)
AAL and CHON
Recent sub, thanks for the content. I like your style from the first time I saw one of your videos. You and others have taken music and guitar playing to a whole new place, I believe that you haven't allowed yourself to be limited by what others said can't be done.
No BS, straight to the point.
I like tutorials that follow that simple point.
I don't need to know that the guitar is an instrument, generally with 6 strings, each string has a name, and that the name of the note changes depending on where you press, which I find in way too many tutorials on youtube.
Awesome. Before this video I always thought it'd take me an eternity to learn it; Thanks Tim, you've shaven a few months off my journey.
Tim Henson is reaching levels of androgyny never before thought possible lmao great stuff the guitar work is mesmerizing
Pls do a makeup tutorial Tim!
Hearing you mention that slide and how you don't do it live is super refreshing, I feel like a lot of guitarists will use little differences from the recorded versions of their songs during live sets but are more resistant to admit it 😅
Holy shit Tim. Already tried this when i was younger but this tutorial did't existed. Back then i tried to play this from hearing and only got to the first 12 notes (its really not that far but it was hell of fun play the section). See you in few years while i'm ad it again. Thx for the energy man.
After watching this, I looked at my guitar and it just kinda said "just don't, play wonderwall instead"
I just keep liking this guy more and more. He's just so flippin cool and good at guitar. 😲
Thanks for watching

and he is also very cute, his hair is so shaggy 😄))
It is super helpful to see you break the phrases down!! thank youu
Got it! Great explantation. Took about 5 mins to realize it'll take me the rest of the year to get the intro down. 😂😂😂 Good shit.
This tutorial needs a tutorial
This is crazy!!! Little correction.. in the second lick of the second phrase you say to hammer on the 17 th while you actually hammer the 19th. I will not die before i can play this masterpiece
I would love to hear a nylon string playthrough of O.D. from you Tim! I'm sure others would too! You are truly the G.O.A.T.
Such a beautiful man; such an inspired guitarist -- and a tremendous instructor at that.
Who else became a goat when trying to learn this? :)
Step 1: Become an anime Jedi
amazing description, i prefer this to tabs anyway and its got me to learn it in
the way you democratize the guitar virtuoso licks that you created is just outstanding nice and humble , this is the new way to be here on youtube. Love it. Stay humble stay hungry 🖤
You can't. Saved you 8:12
Bros 4 years late
Ong 🤣
Haven’t touched my guitar in months, but this nice and easy breakdown inspired me to pick it up again. I’m barely able to play the first part of the first phrase at 0.25 speed, but I’m gonna keep at it a little bit everyday
Absolutely amazing to see how it’s actually done. Cannot wait to see you all in Glasgow Scotland 2023
That Jedi robe though :D Hell yeah, awesome vid Tim, thanks so much for making it
I appreciate that he takes the time to call out what notes he is getting down on. That’s pretty cool, I haven’t played in years, but this encourages me to get back at it. Life & work just finds a way to suck all the free time that you have lol 😅 regardless I’ll start to make time again. It’s all Practice it’s what it boils down to plain n simple. Thanks Tim.
