Something that I really respect about Tim is that he's very honest about how he composes his material, and how much digital tools aid in the process. Part of it is due to increasing music's overall knowledge base being a net-positive, but also because for what he's doing, knowing how to compose it means very little if you can't play it. It'll sound cool when synthesized, but it becomes incredibly special when played.

"Objectively good" is a myth and means nothing. All that matters is that you explain your argument and reasoning with the text. There's no objective measure of good, and all criteria you could set is arbitrary. Whats considered "objectively bad because its not even in tune" means nothing in cultures with different tunings and temperament systems.
@@UbiDoobyBanooby You heard it here first guys, if you live anywhere that doesn't use the western standard 12-tone equal temperment tuning, your music is objectively bad. It doesn't matter if all your country's traditional instruments have a different tuning standard, it sounds out of tune to westerners and is therefore objectively bad.
I didn't discover Tim Henson or Polyphia until about 3 months ago but it has been one of the best discoveries of my life and watching these type breakdown / how to videos by Tim Henson has completely changed the way I look at music and making music. This guy is amazing and true Master of Melody. Keep inovating and bringing actual original sound. Pls and thank u
Two days in for me, and I'm writing guitar riffs I've never thought of attempting before. Tim's playing and writing has been one of the biggest creative inspirations I've had in years.
Exact same here. Heard crush by Lisa x a while ago. Didn't think to check out the original. It's been a great dive. You don't often get the joy of discovering bands on this level

Dude... Finally someone who actually speaks how they wrote their tunes verses "yea so here I play this, then I play this, then I did this" ..... Like dude I can hear, I already like your song. You however really speak to the process and stuff. Seriously man, finally. This is super f***ing hip. Dont stop.
Guthrie Govan (legendary guitarist, if you're unfamiliar please get hip) has some videos on youtube called "professor shred" which are ~5 min vids where he breaks down various things about guitar playing that totally blew my mind, he explains things about music theory in a way anyone can understand yet the explanations provide deep insight into music in a way I haven't seen from ANY other guitar "tutorials"
@@whirlwind872 no totally. Guthrie is the BEST. His are more clinical chats about guitar... These vids are more about a song and how he wrote it, all the way down to the track stem. Which is sweet.
Sadly I don't think Tim or Scott know Jason's part, if you're talking about the end. When I saw them live, or anytime I see them play online, they only play the intro of it into goat. He's the Jason's part though. ua-cam.com/video/41WRlzkyLYM/v-deo.html
Yeah, I agree with Tina. Even if Tim can't breakdown Jason's solo, he can share us the context of the whole song, including how they thought about Jason to be in that one, which would be really interesting since it's a very peculiar song.
I really like your songwriting style for guitar. It’s difficult coming up with parts that makes sense that don’t overcrowd the song, but your tasteful use of melodies really spice up your tracks. Very unique and innovative!!!
@UCv5nz9r3nKK5QkWoU-sCcLA tim said ichika was initially play some parts of this song, but then polyphia decided to finish the song all by themselves and put ichika's part in another song called "death note".
@@ZRisyad No they didn't put their part in Deathnote, you can hear the part Ichika wrote in this video. They just wanted it to go in a different direction and asked him if he had any other riffs laying around, which he did, and then Polyphia wrote a song around it, i.e. Deathnote. So the part in Deathnote is different :)
I’ve probably watched this video 6-7 times today already. I love this, thanks Tim! Even the Ichika part, as different as it sounded on top of the track, was beautiful.
I just wanted to say that I have been playing guitar for like 20 years and you’re band has been one of the most inspiring things I have ever heard in years!
I would love to know how The Worst was made. If that was anything crazy at all, because that song is still so amazing. Also great content. Love your explanations and it's both really creative and informative
”Just because you don’t like it personally doesn’t mean it’s not objectively good” is a great point and every musician should get this. If you separate your personal taste and analyze stuff objectively I bet you become better and more creative with your music.
He's just a regular dude, who happens to have been born with a gift for making music. I love that he loves us enough to do these things, it's all for his fans.
This is great stuff, Tim. Exactly the type of content that just gets us even more engaged with Polyphia. I'm hyped to see you guys live again. Hopefully, concerts come back this year.
These videos are some of the most inspirational content I’ve ever seen! An artist breaking down there own material creation in detail is worth its weight in gold. Wish creativity was teachable lol. This is better than lesson material I’ve paid for.
First off, these are like bite sized masterclasses for self composing from inspiration. I love this. Second can we *please* get an ichika OD mix with his parts in it? I totally see how they don't fit with the vibe of the final cut but it would be awesome to see the song spun in a different direction!
I love Tim’s attitude towards other genres and incorporating different sounds and not just going down the djent hole Would like to see crossovers between them and some of the more metal sounding rappers with high profiles
Tim this is amazing content! The way you break down the song and note selection is eye opening! im new to music and this kind of breakdown in music theory is something that master musicians and seasoned players can't explain. Keep breaking down these songs man! it brings a higher level of appreciation to your music!
though i love ichika and his style, i feel like this beat was hella to "intense" for his playing. Deathnote was a good call. Love this series, please keep uploading!
First of all, this is amazing. Hope you continue to make this into a series. Would love to hear a breakdown of The Worst, Rich Kids or Saucy. Second, REALLY hope you guys release that version of O.D. with Ichika. Got chills listening to his part.
Just FYI Tim, when trying to select all of one note in Ableton (Like changing all E's at 2:00) you can just click the note on the piano roll on the left side!
This are my actual Top 2 requests for him to do next lol. He has already shown a little bit of Goose in his "How to make a riff" series, but it would be great to see a video like this one about Goose, which is a real masterpiece.
My guy, thank you! I'm new-ish to the fam but so down. Fucking love the way you explain your thought process and inspiration. Been plying for years and thought i was decent, but you sir are on a whole other level. Super pumped on yo shit, you guys are sick af. Cute puppy!
Tim is actually very cool and chill now he's dropped his weird sarcastic persona thing he was doing before, cool that he's so honest about using other artists music
Generations of guitarists (and musicians in general) will benefit from Tim breaking down his creative process. That's why Tim and the rest of Polyphia are not just musicians but gurus. Never before have so many people been given this opportunity to learn from music crafters at the pinnacle of their game. Bravo!
It's got a clear Hendrix influence on the main riff, one of my favorite from them, and the first I ever learn from the boys. Would also love a breakdown
How refreshing, an artist demystifying the process, and actually teaching how to do it, bullshit - Free. . . Can’t wait to see these guys do this live.

IT'S SO FUCKING EPIC
I couldn't put my finger on what made this video different. Then I realised that you never said "like" once. You knew that people criticized you about it and you improved it. Thank you for being my #1 music hero.
I've heard the song hundreds of times but still cracked a big smile when you pulled out your guitar and actually played it in front of my eyes. Shits so insane hahaha
Your songs give me a whole new appreciation for pop music. It'll never be my favorite genre, but I'm starting to recognize that it's not all hot garbage, so thank you!
To be fair it kind of is hot garbage, but it is composed in the background by a hand full of people who REALLY understand music. The end result is trash most of the time but not because of bad composition, just because of over saturation and appealing to the least common denominator's pocket book.
I love your dog. (I mean I love your songs and how you break down composition process BUT that dog at the end , it was it for me , I send hugs to your dog)
Thanks for sharing your process! Weird fun fact: Taylor Swift interpolated “I’m Too Sexy” by Right Said Fred as the rhythmic inspiration for “Look What You Made Me Do.” She did credit them as co-songwriters before releasing it.
These are really dope, and I love the honest insight into where the inspiration for your compositions come from. I also really respect the attitude about liking certain music vs. recognizing it as objectively good. I'd love to see one of these on James Franco or Champagne!
Super appreciate the transparency in this whole process. Cool how you can start with an inspiration and come away with something that sounds so entirely unique to you. The way you think about music is so gnarly.
Love these videos! Hands down one of, if not the best guitarist alive. You inspire me to be more creative and try new techniques. Keep these coming please! Saw you guys in Phoenix btw. You were standing at the door and I couldn't even belive it was you! Never gonna miss a show when yall are in town!
Awesome stuff my guy! But i would LOVE to see a play through and/or a breakdown of Bad. I feel like it’s such a slept on track regarding any footage of it.

You're so talented and it's neat seeing your thought process. Thanks for showing us this.
They took Ichika off the song because they knew it would've literally destroyed the universe if it made the song any heavier.
We definitely need more of these breakdown, they are so darn cool and interesting!
This song was another masterpiece after GOAT.🔥🔥
Meh od is a better song than GOAT.
These are really dope, and I love the honest insight into where the inspiration for your compositions come from. I also really respect the attitude about liking certain music vs. recognizing it as objectively good. I'd love to see one of these on James Franco or Champagne!
Cool dude. Highly practical breakdown. Excellent compliments to the legendary music. Dope.
I love this, please keep doing it. It's dope to get a glimpse into the process. It adds to the richness of each track by connecting story. Tight work.
4:37 He says "Look what you made me do" as he shows the song structure. I imagined he was addressing Taylor when he said it lol
Super appreciate the transparency in this whole process. Cool how you can start with an inspiration and come away with something that sounds so entirely unique to you. The way you think about music is so gnarly.
Ichika’s solo reminds me of Tenet, very soft in the mix, i dont understand how it was written, but i walked away loving it.
I don't care what songs you do these for just keep doing them, they're amazing!
all this lore is so sick, Ichika supposed to be featured and all that. This is my fav song
Really appreciate breaking down the process and sharing.
I lost it at the zoom in at "a bit of F L A V O R" 😂
Love these videos! Hands down one of, if not the best guitarist alive. You inspire me to be more creative and try new techniques. Keep these coming please! Saw you guys in Phoenix btw. You were standing at the door and I couldn't even belive it was you! Never gonna miss a show when yall are in town!
Ichika on O.D. is absolutely amazing, please release it!
Awesome stuff my guy! But i would LOVE to see a play through and/or a breakdown of Bad. I feel like it’s such a slept on track regarding any footage of it.
