An experienced AP "guy" can hear notes in such bpms as even 400bpm 4ths. So it is a skill issue whether he can play it or not. It is still playing by ear, because he didn't look at any tabs (probably even before).

      He is definitely godlike at guitar. But there's no way this is the first time he has played or listened to the song.
      Some songs are pretty easy to just pick up and mimic after a first listen, but this insane proggy shit is just impossible to transpose via ear on your first listen.
      This only applies to the main intro riff.
      The other riffs that he's playing after could very well be transposed after a first listen because it's much simpler.

      You can hear the parts that he's playing for the first time in this video, being the sections after the main riff. How do you hear it's the first time he played it? Because he does alot of mistakes and plays it wrong. He knows what scale the song is in though so he can improvise the skill in 4/4 instead. But the main riff which is, probably 5 times harder and more complex he plays pretty much flawlessly. It's really telling.

      Para alivio de los mortales el ya había escuchado la canción un mes antes, esta no fue la primera vez. De por si es casi imposible sacar la canción de una escuchada por los refinados detalles en el finger-picking, acentuación y cambios bruscos de posición en el cifrado. Shunga ya lo tenía casi todo, pero eso no quita que es un dios.

    I just watched 3 other very good guitar players and teachers being stumped by Henson's amazing playing, and also seen how Playing God is arguably called the most difficult guitar riff.
    And then Sungha listens to the intro ONCE and picks out like 90-95% of the intro just like that; like it was the easiest song ever.
    I have not been surprised and mind-blown this much since I saw Dimash for the first time.
