@@joeferris5086 While a lot of his skill is from techniques popularized or developed by Tosin and Tim, he has also advanced some to a further level on his own such as percussive strumming and tapping harmonics
Nope, not at all, mediocre and derivative music. This is also a speed up video. Musicians are in another league, he is a content creator, going where the wave is going
@@burger2229 thumping, harmonics, hybrid pick, selective pick, downstroke, classical pick, tap... They use nearly all of these. Regardless, you don't have to put somebody down to lift somebody else up. If Polyphia brought somebody here, that's a good thing.
@@Gr33nPhoenix polyphia don't use classical picking, tapped harmonics, percussive strumming, they don't typically do completely tapped lines like this, the only two that sound anything like polyphia is the thumping and hybrid picking maybe but still polyphia has a more rigid and snappy sound when using these techniques and this doesn't really sound anything like them
You deserve more recognition for you're accomplishments man. I've been playing 20 years and I'm still not able to do a one take for a lot of the stuff you did like that, esp not that clean. You are incredible man.
I believe he intentionally learned/developed/mastered all these techniques within the context of his own musical taste or style, even if he learned some of them from someone, I bet he would modify it to sound like his very own. That's how they all sound coherent, and he always stand out among the rest and would never suddenly sound like someone.
Paul Stanley said something like: "The most creativity comes over your restrictions". Maybe this is not a good beginners advise, but most players, me included, stuck on an average level for decades not really improving technique and get a bit frustrated sometimes. For example, even i'm not good at downpicking speed, i found out i can galopping on a much higher bpm. So even if i'll never be capable of playing Master of Puppets the proper way, i'm still be able to write killer thrash tracks or developing own stlyes around my capabilities. Thats the whole thing new genres were invented. Mostly by young players with fire, b'cause they don't give a fuck of playing "right" or "wrong", they just play. I think with youtube and media musical theory, maths and technique have much too high impact on making music. So, youngsters, admire your idols, improve your technique, but don't let them demotivate you in making your own progress!
Holy hell these techniques are mind blowing and the fact you put ‘em all together so fluidly blows my mind! Keep it up Manuel I think you’re one of the best guitarists out there! Hope to be able to pick up these techniques through hard dedication!
This video is very inspiring. Guitar isn't a contest people that are better then you should hopefully inspire you to learn more and develop better techniques. This guy has some badass skill
I have one and only one picking technique that I am continually striving to perfect. Kudos to you for having perfected so many. A most excellent and superior display of musicianship.
My man. You have inspired me to pick back up the guitar after nearly a decade of setting it down. This one video made me realize how vital right hand techniques are to really expand what one is able to play. What a great video
I just figured out selective picking the other day. I’ve been playing with it so much. It’s so satisfying to hear that percussive sound. I really want to get better at some of these techniques. I’ll definitely subscribe to your lessons when I have some spending money! I can’t wait to learn some of these techniques!
So incredible dude. Does anyone know (or recommended) where, or how, to start learning these modern techniques? I've been playing for years but have no skill in these modern techniques, need to take a look at some exercises and riffs etc.. can anyone help?:)
Your clips get better and better its incredible! I already felt like ''Covernant'' was crazy and even after being blown away by ''Artificial Void'' and the (new) singles, it gets better :O
I found you on worlds biggest shred collab, became a fan of Unprocessed through UA-cam Music app recommendations, and it finally hit me that you're the guitarist for Unprocessed after watching a live video.. geez you're amazing! Love everything you do ❤ P.S great first last name hyphen 👌
Tbh a few of these techniques are quite common for classical guitar playing. Also Flamenco guitar you need to be proficient in these to even play the music.
@@janellekrivoruk2493 it's the dk24 pro mod black with caramelized maple neck and a HH setup. Also has a series/parallel switch for coil tapping. The neck feels incredible.. I especially like the rolled edges and sculpted heel joint. Makes playing up high super comfy
Genuinely curious: is there a reason why guitarists who can fingerpick don’t use thumb picks vs going into hybrid picking? Hybrid picking blows my mind, but every time I try it, I just want to drop the pick…
Personally I just don't like the sound thumb pick produces. My past experience with thumb pick was that it is always too long. I'm a Jazz III kind of person.
I prefer hybrid picking because you can easily switch the angle of attack on your pick. This allows for better switches between hybrid picking and (percussive) strumming. The thumb pick feels a little bit "stiff" and locked to your thumb in my opinion. May just be me not being used to it though. The thumb pick has the advantage of allowing you to use your regular fingerpicking technique with little adaptation, if you are using the regular technique with timr-fingers. With hybrid-picking you normally use your thumb and indexfinger to hold your pick and r and m -fingers for fingerpicking, making the "standard-technique" having one less finger to pick a seperate string. You can mitigate this "flaw" of hybrid-picking by utilising your pinky for picking, thiugh. It is quite a difficult task but can be very rewarding to learn since it combines best of both worlds in that case.
To those that may be discouraged seeing videos like this; you can get big off of 4 chords. Please remember that. 🙏 You don’t have to be technical to be great. 🙂
You have a much better chance at learning these techniques than getting big. This man is just displaying skill that is worthy of being admired. So many people want to "make it big" without actually becoming really good at something. Sure, that's possible, but IMO - I'd rather go on the path of certain... hard work = the reward of being able to play like this.
Can you do a video on thumping in general? There are a few videos on it, but you seem to have the coolest method ive seen so far. I really don't understand how you do it.

Hardest technique number 11, having the courage to continue to attempt playing guitar after realizing the gap in skill between me and this guy.
you got this brother have patience in the process
To see what is possible should be inspiring. Besides, look back and see what inspired you to start in the first place? Was it to be as good as Manuel?
Don't compare yourself to others. Compare only to yourself from the past(from yesterday). That's what helps me boost my motivation.
Let's all be excited and start filling in the gap little by little.😉
@@urcurlydawg932 100%
Your percussive strumming is always mindblowing
Yo we meet again

Brother you are simply one of the most impressive guitarists currently alive. Period.
He's very good but he clearly gets much of his style from Tim Henson who really created this type of playing along with Tosin.
@@joeferris5086 he did, but he created something beautiful out of them

Love this so much! Can't wait to see Unprocessed in Montréal
The hardest guitar technique is making money
😂😂😂
Very underrated comment

Lmao

the ergonomics you have within every technique... that's truly insane
“Top 10 Hardest Guitar Techniques” Executes them all FLAWLESSLY lol. Unreal man. Unlike anyone I’ve ever seen before!
You just broke down every polyphia song to its basics. This is so amazing. It gives me some great motivation to keep practicing.
we had the exact same thought
polyphia doesnt use half of these lol
@@burger2229 thumping, harmonics, hybrid pick, selective pick, downstroke, classical pick, tap...

Inspiring words
Good advice, thank you!
You just blew my mind wide open. I think I needed to hear this. Thanks
That low e sound is so good with that bass. Wow
Some techniques are harder than others but all of these require dedication and natural touch and he clearly has both. 👍

Every time I see something new from this guy that's mind-blowing. Wow! And to be melodic and emotional while doing so wtf
0:01 That tapped harmonics riff... Pretty much how I feel right now.
love how tapping harmonics comes before tapping and harmonics
How did this man manage to turn a top 10 into a full on song
the first tapping with harmonic section is the most beautiful thing i ever seen
I really respect your guitar technique playing. that's very impressive.from Indonesia
Youre a beast my bro. More of your vids pls.
Stunning guitar.
Mesmerizing Melodies.
Outstanding demonstration.

When’s the tutorial coming for this one? Sick as always!

watch Tim Henson (Polyphia band) lessons, you can buy tabs also
there is a lot of hybrid picking
@@kosson4386 Ah cool! thank you kosson! :)
Super bad ass! NICELY done, man!
This is my favourite so far. I'm gonna spend 1 day a week to learn this

Excellent video! Thank you for posting!!
This is my favorite one so far.. if you bottled this up and sold it, I'd buy them all
This guitar is so stunning!
You are a guitar god. Your style is ridiculously 🔥🔥
I can do about 4 or 5 of those, but to combine them all into a piece is serious skill. Well done!
I think just hybrid picking and percussive strumming put your playing a level above most and everything after that is ear candy.
Incredible precision, speed and clear at
ack!

Really nice music too!
The classical picking one is called “tremolo” for classical guitarists
Deck percussion holds a similar threshold.
Tbh a few of these techniques are quite common for classical guitar playing. Also Flamenco guitar you need to be proficient in these to even play the music.
This is the harmony of rhythms, it sounds beautiful!)
what gauge of strings do you use? that tone is insane
You are soooo good, never seen something before! Loving it!!
the first riff gives me Mystery of Love by Sufjan Stevens vibes
I've seen virtuosos but man, you are beyond that. Can't comprehend how did you get to this level
Hybrid picking is so awesome but insanely hard to get correctly and cleanly
Jajajaja listen Iberia of the heart of américa
Puno bolivia
Love the way of tone color
What about sweep picking??
And real clásical guitar
I was gonna say he's missing 2 more - sweep picking and flamenco style rhythm
sweep picking itself isn’t hard, it’s syncing up your hands that kills ya.
@@ripit.3457 First, Ryuko is waifu. Second... isn't that the whole point of sweeping? 🤔
was needed more whammy tricks and hybrid picking 🤔Byt it was awesome! I would say 91.6% Done 😆🥰
goodness gracious this man is so damn good at guitar
That was an incredible display of technique. Amazing.
I can do a few of those but never tried harmonic tapping. Time to pick up my guitar and realise i can't do it
I’m thankful I’m alive to witness this song and your talent

and I think Joshua Meader is known as good as them.

Hybrid picking blows my mind, but every time I try it, I just want to drop the pick…
I get that they create different sounds, I guess I see a thumb pick as a middle ground…?
Tbh i can't use a thumb pick, idk why but it just doesnt feel right so i either hybrid or finger 😅🤷♂️
I can't use thumb pick, it's not comfortable but some guys do it well. Check out Feodor Dosumov, he combines fingers and pick with a thumb pick

how did u get younger over the year its amazing
I felt like as if i am watching Tim Henson (polyphia) .. playing style very similar and complex and nice..
All i heard was Polyphia haha
Excelente. Obrigado 😮

great playing man
最高！！気持ち良すぎる！
