The fact that Tim mentioned to Rick Beato that he is having a hard time playing Polyphia songs on acoustic because of the steel string makes this cover even more impressive. Tim signature acoustic Ibanez with Nylon strings is made for him to make it easier for him to play Polyphia songs on acoustic.
I have always played 12’s on Electric - to be fair it makes the switch to Acoustic much more doable especially on this song. But this mad lad has a whole different galaxy of difficulty to play with
Also the strings of an acoustic being much harder, its also a matter of how callused your fingers are. If you are playing almost exclusively electric you wont have calluses as evolved as when you play acoustic hence when you then pick up an acoustic it hurts the fingers more quickly and your fingers wont have as much strength as an acoustic player
honestly percussion doesnt blow my mind as much as added bass notes in solo parts. i could imagine i makes fingering way trickier than without bass notes
I really hope the Polyphia guys see this. It's truly incredible. They will really appreciate the time and effort you put in, and you added your own style to it.

I had gotten tired of the inundation of Playing God covers that youtube has been recommending but holy shit this one is legitimately incredible. So much cleaner than the other ones I've heard
i was just trying to learn the original, struggling, got bored and decided to surf youtube, ya know, maybe watch some guitarists worse then i am fail. Instead i find this masterpiece. If any body else is able to make a cover even close to this (in terms of skill level and just overall sound), i shall promptly staple my nuts to the wall

One of the most impressive things I’ve seen.. no over the top smashing of the guitar and cheap harmonics in an open tuning- really tasteful and well thought out playing
The most impressive part of this is how beautifully you arranged the slower, middle parts, and really bringing out the essential parts of every instrument, including the drums. I'd assume most people would be like "alright time to take a break and make this simple", and while the technical part is much simpler than the opening riff, the arranging you did withe percussive sounds and filling in the bass is spectacular. Amazing!
I saw the video of Polyphia roasting the fan con covers of this song and when I saw your entry, I had to come and see the full video especially after Tim's comments and praise. An insanely fantastic cover of Playing God and on steel strings rather than nylon! Incredible. I am in awe of your skill and you absolutely deserved to win.
Adding percussion made it extremely difficult and even more impressive than the original. From Tim Henson himself: "this is way cooler, I have to do a cover of his cover." 😁 Well deserved, bro! You should have million subscribers!
For me this is the most impressive guitar cover of a song, tied along with Kent Nishimura's man in the mirror. Impeccable taste and technique. I can only wonder how many years of practice you must have to achieve this level of playing.
when i read this comment i went straight to watch Kent Nishimura's man in the mirror and it is amazing! (and so is this cover, absolutely mind-blowing 🤯)
It will be either “the Grammy for best live solo performance of classical/flamenco guitar” Or “the Grammy for best solo/band acoustic recording goes to” You get what I mean He will be winning awards with his playing. A virtuoso in the making, no make at the start of his long and wonderful career.
Paolo, just wanted to let you know, I have probably listened to this cover 75 times since you released it. And that is not an exaggeration, I honestly wish I could view how many times I’ve seen it.
This is just ridiculously good. Learning one guitar part is hard enough, but the fact you've managed to tastefully add percussion, successfully play the bass notes and capture the essence of BOTH guitar parts is just mind-blowing in every way. But it's not just that. It's the clarity of Every. Single. Note and the accuracy you play as well which is just jaw-dropping. Next level stuff man, well done.
Just extraordinary, I'm speechless tbh. It's probably the best fingerstyle cover I've ever seen. Percussion, rhythm, those f*cked up chords at the end were all on point. And you adding your own spin to it elevated it to another level. Extremely impressive 😁👍
@6u6ube it has everything the original has and more. Don't be bilnded by the fact that this is done by someone other than Tim... he said it himself this is betterm
Being able to make us feel it is fake ,proves the playing capability u have ,the mixing was done crisp and clear ,not too much reverb and everything perfect ,so good bruh
Wow, dude. Incredible. Congratulations on winning the contest. Not only did you get that sweet guitar that used to belong to Tim but you're getting a ton of exposure now because of it. And, buddy, you deserve it. You have clearly worked very hard. Jam on, friend. Jam on.🤘🏼🤘🏼
Ey! Congratulations on winning, Paolo! Nakaka proud yung "I'm gonna have to cover his cover" na sinabi ni Tim about sa cover mo. Hahaha cover mo ulit yung Playing God pagkareceive mo nung prize na guitar, tol. Solid!!
This has to be the best guitar cover on the internet. Right from the harmonics to the arpeggios and then you top it off with some percussive beats. Damn 😲
My guy this is awesome! Take some serious pride in a groovy and technical feat that is this dope track. Love the percussive elements, love the way you managed to weave many of the song's layered elements into a single guitar, love the techniques used. This is exactly the kind of style I love to do just way the hell better. Normally I get depressed and demotivated when seeing people be so incredible but this honestly was just too dope to not rock out to. Hard work well spent.
This cover is insane. I can see why Tim said that they need to do a cover of your cover. 🤣 I know tabs can take a long time to create, but if there is any way you can record a tab of Playing God on solo guitar, I'd definitely buy it in a second.
Fuck me, if the original was not ridiculously difficult, you made it even harder and in between of those faster than light notes you managed to hit the guitar as a snare. I wonder how much time it took to learn and master it. I'm blown away and it doesn't happen often. Kudos to you.

The fact that Tim mentioned to Rick Beato that he is having a hard time playing Polyphia songs on acoustic because of the steel string makes this cover even more impressive.

Also the strings of an acoustic being much harder, its also a matter of how callused your fingers are.

@@Denden-mx9gl I think broken chords is playing a chord note by note rather than all at once
@@ethankim7979 what I meant was he was talking to this guy like he doesn't have that level, that's why I said it was a back handed compliment
@@Denden-mx9gl ahh isee
This is the definition of "I own the guitar, i'll use 100% of it"

Respect 🙌
I like the way he smiles at the beginning. It kind of smile you make when you love what you do
Found this cover video by accident. Insanely good, so clean. I'm currently still practicing Playing God too!!! Very nice bro. I would love to have for a tutorial of this!
Congrats dude! You earned it. So much talent and an outstanding cover!
I got goosebumps listening to this cover.
this is some of the craziest skill i've ever seen in a guitarist
the fact that you were able to do this insanely hard song on *one* acoustic guitar is amazing.
Man I’ve been playing guitar for 13 years. and I’m just amazed with the amount of sounds you can get, and I’m trying to figure out where the hell they’re coming from. 😂😂😂
only found this due to their contest. such an insane interpretation and cover. sick job man, such overwhelming work.
Probably the greatest guitar cover of all time.
This is absolutely unreal. So much respect for your talent and performance!
Congrats on the win, you totally deserved it!
