This is probably the best cover of Ego Death I've ever seen
Lol I hope you’re kidding
@@AwDaleYeah I hope you too lol
@@AwDaleYeah bro it's a joke
@@AwDaleYeah r/whoooooooosh
@@AwDaleYeah Which is why he said he hopes you’re kidding too, he obviously knows who it is😭
Theres a point in guitar where you reach the technical ceiling and just have to keep exploring and being creative. You will then realize that there was no ceiling at all to begin with, it's a dark room never been visited before and that's why this band is so good. A mesh from metal, rock, trap, pop, hiphop influences. If this genre was known 50 years ago, it wouldn't be as interesting today. But the band gave birth to a new level of originality and creativity. Kudos to Tim, Scott, Clay, and Clay!
This track shows a lot of artistic growth (not their first time but still). Using virtuosity as a vehicle for amazing songs rather than using songs as a vehicle to show off virtuosity.
I agree. They provide actual melodies, many melodies in each song. Have not heard anything like this before 2012 or so. the combo is amazing....and the lack of bends makes it so smooth (I know they bend sometimes but not often). so good
I get little bit of a Jazz feel from them as well but that is the thing with Polyphia their influences are all over the place .
@@schmiggidy Imagine thinking that music can be "summed up" in... chord progression. Lmao if there's one place where the "cover" is more important than the "book", it's music. The same 4 chords can give birth to a banger or to a lame ass pop song. Chord progression doesn't mean shit.
@@schmiggidy I second the fact you can't even imagine that.
This dude's aesthetic is unique. Turtlenecks, slippers and Kpop hair have never been so casually cutting edge
This isn’t K-pop hair it’s more like Japanese hair I guess
@@lipipragyadevi it's straight out of an anime bro.
@MunchinOnDew then it's anime hair? Which is Japanese... nor Korean
@@willowway3349 Korea makes anime too.
And KPop hair is stylistically much like Protagonist hair in Japanese anime. It doesn't mean it's a japanese hair style.
Tim Henson is Chinese American, so you’re not too far off
That sudden cut to EGO DEATH gets me everytime...
Ikr 😊
Am I the only one who had no idea what it was saying til I paid attention to the video?
@@wolfiemuse what?
Absolutely
You spoke my mind
too many people cover songs in such a short time, but no one can write songs like him
@griffy no thanks🥣🥦
Non of the cover comes close to this clean though. This Timothy guy can join Polyphia
@@fizikidz94 to be honest... Tim in live is not so clean neither
@@hubertomendezronda444 but time still running,and he's keep learning we can't do nothing just listening😂
@@hubertomendezronda444 This is false, I saw them live in August and the only mistake I caught from him was the tapping in Nightmare
Beast 🔥
based
Tf you doin here my guy lmao
You are beast too, damn never expected you to be here.
Man you two are lookalikes HAHAHHA
Yo
I’ve been listening to Polyphia for a little while now and I still can’t even imagine the amount of effort this guy must have put in to reach this level of guitar. I’m an amateur guitarist and half the time I still mute on the most basic chord transitions. It’s always seriously impressive to see how versatile a guitar can be between virtuosos.
I love how he is casually shredding in slippers lol absolutely LOVE this song
This song has been stuck in my head nonstop. Then I sit down at my computer and think, "ehh... I could listen to Ego Death right about now" and then I listen to it 10 times in a row. Such a fun song to listen to.
I'm the same way. I've been listening to it every morning during my walks (which are between 60-140 minutes long). I'm addicted.
I ve been this way with ABC and Ego Death since both launch day and I cant stop (sorry for my bad english)
Time to learn to play the song then (;
@@schmiggidy cool story bro.
@@schmiggidy It always strikes me as odd when someone calls these guys unoriginal, as though there's something wrong or lesser with the "tried and true". Everyone's sense of music is built upon the foundations of what they've heard before, and then they may or may not choose to iterate upon that with their own sound, and they certainly have a signature style, a sound that is distinctly them. It's fine if it's not to your taste, but calling it "unfortunate" or basic is rather disingenuous.
There are good guitarists, elite guitarists, professional elite guitarists - and then the innovators. Guitarists that cannot be copied - because their sound is completely unique. The gap between players like Tim Henson, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, Eddie Van Halen, Hendrix, Clapton, Gilmore and not so many more - is truly the apex of the pinnacle. Such a treat be alive and hear this talent unfold before us.
Many of those folks can be replicated to a T. The only folks I've seen who can't be, play acoustic or wind instruments.
@@bcp5296d i think he means doing stuff we haven't seen before, obviously they can be replicated, but its there creativity and originality that sets them apart
Well, billy strings can play circles around this guy
@@collinplummer8724 lol one of those guys huh. Call me when you get into jake workman and aubrey king. Both worlds beyond billy in his own genre.
@@collinplummer8724 not to mention bryan sutton
I am not gay but I am, now, confused.
It's called "heteroflexible" 😂 we can't blame you.
I'm not heterosexual,but now,I'm confused too hahahaha
This shit slaps hard af
ye
Literally and figuratively
onggg
Slaps harder than a 1950s husband
Another boring cliche comment posted in every video ever made.
These guys just don't miss, truly special to witness what these guys are doing
Yeah, glad that I am alive to witness this.
@@recitationtohear no
What do you mean "these guys"? This is Tims channel, and he's playing on his own?????
Agreed. Fun to witness game changers as they work their magic.
@@Tallon you may not know this but Tim plays in this band called Polyphia and his bandmates are pretty good musicians too
One day I'll be able to play this.
How's the progress man?:)
I genuinely think Tim is probably the best guitarist alive right now. I don’t mean even just purely technique because if you want that, then you probably want Tosin Abasi. I mean technique + catchy + beautiful, memorable guitar lines. I think before the end of his career, he’s easily going to be one of the most insane guitar players to ever live, and will be put in compilations of the best guitarists ever, up with people like Vai and Satch and the like.
@SoftserveSodium I’m sure there are people who are TECHNICALLY better. I just feel like Tim is on his way to being the best guitarist alive. If he doesn’t ever achieve top 5 best guitarists to ever live, I am CONFIDENT that he would be within top 10 or 20 AT MOST. He is well on his way to just absolute ridiculous level skill- not to mention HE WRITES THIS STUFF. lol
Vinnie Moore is the greatest
Tim's 7 string is insane!!
Yeah, it's fantastic. I need to know where I can get one :/ And I don't even play guitar yet....
@@DanielSmith_19 That's an Ibanez RG8527Z J. Custom and it's VERY expensive lmao
@@NickOlivera Oh yeah, I know the J. Customs are an arm and a leg. Makes sense though. Maybe one day haha. Thanks for telling me though :)
@@DanielSmith_19 If you don't play guitar there is absolutely zero reason to spend an arm and a leg on an intrument that you don't even know if you'll be sticking to. Get yourself a nice, $200-$300 model that is perfect for beginners...
Unless you're just a rich man lol.
@@SpkillerGaming fr I’ve been playing a year and fuckin love my squier strat especially with all the mods!!! Cost me £120 new lmao fuckin love it, and no plans on gettin a new guitar yet, just more pedals😆
OMG How can Tim just keep improving? It's just freaking unreal.
And he's only like 28 years old. Can't wait to see him in a few years.
I don’t like it because his tabs keep getting harder and harder to learn lmao.
Sarcasm of course
He's the type of person that focuses on his passion, makes it his lifestyle, and works hard for it. Now that they're getting more trendier on UA-cam, there's no other path than the top and attract the bigger mainstream audience. At the same time, he's still young. He's a single man sitting around in his studio all day touring the world occasionally, his lifestyle is defined for him to keep improving at his own genre.
@@lx4302 Agreed, definitely a testament as to what can be achieved with persistence, time and copious amounts of passion. It's been awesome following along for the last 8 years
@@lx4302 he isn’t single
If I could play like this I’d literally never stop. I keep imagining the things I could accomplish musically with Tim’s skill set under my fingers. But good god what a mountain to climb. I love the guitar so much.
One of my favorite riffs ever! Much love.🎸
This has to be my favorite song this year
Playing God is the best
@@davidl.on. nah this years best is definetly neurotica, but wait till the whole album is out.
Imo Playing God is the best song they've done since Goat
@@symbiosisai goat is mid af
@@brandonbalmos6893 your tone deaf af
polyphia is a really good band which introduced me to different type of music. I not only like the band members but the people who listen to them, because among them are some who have really good knowledge about music and they mention somethings which gets me to google those things and discover a whole new variety of music. I remember someone mentioned in a playthrough video of Tim that the song he was playing was inspired by paco de lucia, and I discovered flamenco. I can now play the melody of malaguena on my ukulele albeit it is now clean, I can play it that you recognize it is that. Thank you Polyphia I consider you artists with a significant impact on music culture. Take care guys and reader you also take care
Thanks man that’s sweet
@@Beingthankful ikr that was cute
Take care of yourself writer
Bro you’re making me blush😁😊
all ur stuff calms me down and makes me feel like everything is gonna be alright
Hi Tim, Just discovered you guys recently and oh boy am I enjoying the rabbit hole! Just gets better and better...
This song was exactly what I was craving from this album. It was executed really well and had a bit of everything without feeling forced or dragged out, just amazing musicianship through and through.
judge & jury analysis paralysis......zipit Ronny.........
I'm 47 and have studied the world of guitar my whole life ,Tim is this generations stand out he's is one in a billion. My favorite guitarists are Satch and vai because they write songs people actually care about so does Tim
I'm sure some do.
Dude you're awesome. So talented and make it look so smooth and easy...great work
this dude plays that song pretty well
he should join a progressive instrumental band or something
Incrível como a técnica desse mlk só evolui a cada dia
Monstruoso
@griffy ain't no way this is the new rick roll
tim é um Deus da guitarra ibenez tem sorte de patrocinar
toca pra caralho e é estiloso.
Kkkkkk esse mlk da nem pra entender kkkkkk
Best guitarist of the generation
wow!
I wasn't expecting lightning fast arpeggios finger picked augmented with harmonics and percussive bass notes pounded out on the low strings!
incredibly innovative!!!
this literally vibrated my brain i couldn’t find the words to comment, also dude those weightless pulses at the ego death cut send me to the stratosphere *every* single time i hear them, it’s the hypest thing ever and a perfect creative touch
Been listening to Ego Death on repeat. Every. Single. Time. This is the best song this year. Polyphia deserves a Grammy!
Same here on repeat too
After learning some of the riffs and solos, I have to say this is one of the most complex Polyphia songs! Tim, you are a magnificent composer!
Really love this song. The movements are so great. Just completely enthralled with it.
I gotta say, it's really nice seeing some really great covers of Ego Death out there. To add, he resembles polyphia's lead guitarist.
Thank you for reviving my interest in wanting to learn guitar, Tim. Please don't ever stop doing the things that you do.
Math rock my ass. This kid is just laying down some old school chord progressions with some tasty licks on the side! Rock and Roll through and through...
I also admire their delivery and attitude. Just totally chill while doing something absolutely amazing. Hanging out in sweats and fuzzy slippers. too cool.
I never get tired of watching Tim Henson play. Such a unique and precise style. Keep those videos rolling in Tim. I'm a huge fan .
Our times greatest guitarist! A young living icon!
Depends on your taste really, but he's technically efficient for sure.
@@Trahzy he is innovative and his style of playing influences a lot of similar artists and people playing at home. Just like Jimi Hendrix or Jimmy Page did in their prime.
"greatest" is subjective. one of the greatest for sure.
@@srenlrkholm9105 Well except Tim's more of a brand. He's got the whole pretty boy / sensitive clean cut robotic aesthetic going on. Idk just my opinion I don't hear anything but harmonics taps slaps slides and little runs mashed together when I hear his stuff. Just don't feel it.
I feel like I have found the greatest treasure of my life. protect this man, God, for he is the treasure of all mankind
God bless you for the work you’ve put into honing your skills, Mr Henson! You’re truly the greatest guitarist to walk the planet!
Thank you so much for all you do. Everytime i dont feel motivated to practice i just watch one of your Videos and booom im motivated again to practice 3 hours just to get nearly as good as you are some day !
Thanks for all of your hard work and passion, Tim. You've been inspiring my friends and I 🙏♥️🥳
THIS SONG SLAPS SOO HARD 🔥
@griffy bro I've clicked on the same link like 6 times 💀
@@agemiran1520 Here ya go bro I got a different video for you to watch.
I made this video out of pure passion for Polyphia so I hope you give it a shot.
☺️

As a long time Polyphia fan glad you posted this , I have seen so many people doing reaction videos wondering if this was actually even playable live . Of course it is ! You guys are incredible !
Every video I find myself thinking I love the vibe of your session room. Don't know if it's in your place or the band's spot but I love it
I rarely comment but feel compelled to do so. You are undeniably one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Thank you sir, I am in awe. Keep rocking in the free world!
It still seems impossible the way he just passively plays masterpieces 😂 everyone covering his pieces are always so rigid and focus and he just looks like it’s a warm up
It looks like he just got up, bedhead and slippers, put on some coffee. Then was like "might as well shoot a vid while this percolates", and voila!
I mean he literally made this riff and made all the technical parts so yeah makes sense?
It helps that he wrote it himself so it fits his thinking and musclememory and has been in his head for longer, but yeah that said even the intro part i have to concentrate to get it right-ish :)
@lx true but still holy shit 😂
Funny to think Tim had no tattoos like 4 or 5 years ago and now the dude has the coolest tattoos around.
Also unbelievable guitar player. Trailblazer.
I wonder if he was inspired by Chris Heria's tattoos, Tim always reminds me of him.
@@Verociity Same here he always did remind me of Chris Heria... one works out and one plays guitar.
Side topic (I hate doing this) but I made a video for all Polyphia fans to watch. I do NOT want subs, I just want people to enjoy it)
Give it a shot and I hope you guys like it.

@@Verociity same, thought it was just me.
@@Verociity i don't know but i wish Chris, Tim and Cillian Murphy play in the same movie as brothers! They're all look alike!
@@Verociity they could pass to be cousins tbh and its crazy that they're both half Chinese. The only difference is Chris is half Cuban and Tim is half white.
Wow, Tim you play it so effortlessly. Amazing! 🎸
Its crazy how the first time I heard this song I wasn't really a fan, but it slowly grew on me and now, is my number 1 favourite polyphia song by a long way and now I struggle listening to anything else at all because this song is just so good. High expectations on the full album tim, you boys are are smashing it with the new releases. Goat seems so lacklustre in comparison to all these new songs
Dude just got up from bed and shredded to wake himself up.
Pd: the oversize slippers show his commitment to his style 🤘🤘🤘
Have a beautiful monday everyone. Thanks Tim for bringing such wonderful people together with your talents
Why did u quit yt?
@@flaviusfloarea3562 i haven’t quit! i’m working on a video that took me a year to film
@@VEE3RDEYE That's awesome! I'm sure it will be great
🌹
Man no words. Come to Portugal please 🙏❤️
Insane. Tim, you're on fire just pumping out the coolest stuff. This album is going to be a masterpiece
Marcando presença no espetáculo 🔥
We're very lucky and blessed that you exist in our lifetime. All your hardwork and creativity inspire us.
Also, I like how Polyphia/Henson songs can be perceived many ways, even songs I've listened to for years still make me feel or understand it differently.
Everytime i see something new by tim im just left in awe... this man.. he speaks from the heart straight into the strings
It always takes me more than one listen to fully grasp how good Polyphia songs are, but this one especially. After a couple of listens I'm just as addicted to this song as I was with Playing God!
Same here
Henson just rolled out of bed and rocked this out for us.
You're awesome dude. Definitely my favorite guitar player.
Why do you have to be such a badass? Not only that but you always make it look so effortless. I love you Tim and your playing style never change.
I am currently experiencing ego death and found my musical talent after getting off anti-depressants. My electric guitar arrives tomorrow. When I was up at 3 AM after listening to old emotional guitar songs and crying I searched for ego death and found this. Now I’m crying harder. Thank you.😢
0:06 this part ❤
all is so aesthetic. really appreciate the message about 'ego death'
Such a badass riff, love this jam
Insane track!
I need the number of your stylist please and thank you
was not expecting a kyle hill comment on a polyphia vid but it hindsight it seems a given lmao
A Kyle Hill comment with only 26 likes and one reply? Fixing that
Kyle your amazing, Because science fovereveeer!
That first slide is legendary. 🔥
Awesome!
I love listening to it every day 😘
He always makes his music look so effortless
Thanks for the tab purchase link tim!
I slowly start to doubt that Tim is a Human
Great stuff
So many short beautiful/cool melodies or pattern in between.
Pretty slick groove, love the way you phrase it 🤟🏻
1:00 till 1:07 is just a pure eargasm
people underestimate the fact that he has his own sound 🤦🏽♂️🔥 just crazy
Minha nossa...que é isso!? Mais que um super talento...parabéns pelo domínio nos instrumentos.
I just started playing guitar and finally you give me a part I can actually learn how to play with the intro!! lol thanks Tim you're my best friend here.
here we go again ❤
Another banger. Polyphia is just a genre at this point.
"just"................lmao.
Back at it Tim. I love this song
Going to travel to Dallas tx on April just to see y’all gonna be a 10 hr drive all worth it 🤘
The technicality to this song is even more impressive than I imagined it to be. Jesus Christ. This is just one I’m never even gonna attempt lol 😅
Idk if I’d ever attempt to learn any of their current stuff. I could maybe get some of their old stuff, but this… this is nonsense
This cool cat is the comfiest, coziest composer of music I’ve ever had the fortune of hearing. You guys have knocked it out of the stratosphere 69/10
I particularly loved this part...I can listen to this video whole day
Thank you for posting this. Some people were in disbelief in the reviews.
I was really hoping for this to happen.
So satisfying
Guitar twink has blessed us once again
Been following Polyphia since 2016, blows my mind how the band has grown since then! 🖤
I love the thumping. I’ve been waiting for more of this since those Tosin Abasi sessions.
god, imagine being his roommate, I mean, of course there must be moments when he's repeating the same note or a song, but I wouldn't really mind because I play some instruments too. not only he's skilled, but also creating unique music and inspiring many people to either try harder or, well, put their guitar back 😅
A man of his stature having roommates lmao. maybe at the beginning, but now?
Can confirm, my ego is dead. 💀
I love how chill he is playing this. This is God given talent!
❤ the playing!
You guys have essentially invented post classical guitar music it’s crazy.

We need the acapella version playthrough
