      @@philipjoh5131 You must be a little kid. Actualy long time guitar players who been playing for over 10 years actually describe what I said as the best way to learn Polyphia songs and the hard part is to play it all together. Nice try at trolling.

    1:53 is the only "mistake" I noticed and I'm not even sure if that's accurate, but to me it sounds like he slides between a couple frets really quick instead of just doing a single pull-off there.

      Also, to the guys saying the have no chance in playing this.....I challenge you to save the money and buy a quality guitar. I saved up for a Jackson JS series and the quality of that guitar allowed me to actually sweep pick! I've tried for years on my Ibanez GIO but for some reason the lack of good material stopped me? Not entirely sure, but buying a $600 guitar helped me unlock the skill I already had but was held back by a budget guitar haha hope this helps someone

    In your opinion what was the hardest part of the song to learn? I’ve already learned the into section but have yet to touch the rest of the song because of how long the first bit took to master. Any tips for conquering the rest?

    • @josh_thatcher
      @josh_thatcher  2 роки тому +1

      Hey Will. Great question. Honestly, each new section was the hardest thing I had ever tried to learn. Even the verse's seemed awkward and difficult at first. But if I had to say what took me the longest to get my hands around it would probably be the outro solo. Very disjointed and tough to build muscle memory on. My suggestion's are don't stop pushing forward, find a way to slow the original track right down (either with an app like "The amazing slowdowner" or a DAW that can timewarp like Ableton) and take small digestible bites to build your muscle memory. Having facility to slow the track down will ensure that your subdivisions are on point. Once you have a specific section under your fingers at super slow tempo's you can start to increase the speed until you're shredding like Tim. I hope that helps. Good luck.
