OK, so let me explain why GOAT is higher level than ABC and The Audacity (w/ my terrible English) First, those levels don't show the difficulty of riffs itself but the one of techniques required in the riffs. In this point, I think that triplet > thumping > hammers. Tbh, the position of The Audacity is a play on words about 8string and level8. Btw I still think GOAT is harder than Audacity and ABC if you play in high quality. GOAT's triplet needs a synchronization of picking and fingering so this is harder to play in accurate timing. This issue will be happen even after you become very good at playing guitar. Difficulty of The Audacity is directly related to how you good at thumping. If you can do basics of thump, this intro riff has no crazy phrases. On the other hand, ABC has the abcdefgh lick. But most of the problems is probably hammers from nowhere (On the other word, all right hand has to do is a couple of hybrid and tapping, then single muted sweep) So if you focus to train your left hand and get strong hammers, it will be way better than you think. Of course, my tutorial must be helpful for you :) And sorry for my hardest riff #4 is wrong! It's not main riff but whole outro.
I love how the other songs have interesting technique names like sweep madness, but OD literally needs you to learn teleportation, and ego death needs you to teleport while doing everything else.
Played for almost 2 years consistently and my first polyphia song was 40oz which i got upto 85% ish speed. That last 20% makes it feel so much more faster than it is
The arpeggios from Playing God still give me nightmares. Literally practicing them every single day at half speed and slowly bringing them up for months. Pain.
Learnt playing God and goat and played them whenever I was bored, after a long break for exams I forgot them... everyone gotta practice to maintain skills 😅
Let’s all be very serious about Polyphia for a moment. No matter who you are or where you are from on this planet. You must agree however they are doing what they are doing, they are the future, they are far far far into the future if I’m Being honest. There’s maybe 5000 guitarists that can play Polyphia on the planet like KAWA can. I want you all to do 5000/9000000000. These guys are doing something that has absolutely never been done. And then you have to look at what it takes to write these songs at this speed. Writing these songs seems even rarer than playing them. Think about that for a moment. You literally have to be able to teleport to write these. Tim looks and plays the way he does Because he is possibly the furthest from an average person you can get on this planet. Whoever is driving the writing is on a completely different level than anyone now or to come for quite a while I would say.
I managed to get through a couple riffs on the violin…..if you look at some of videos you can see a distinct change in playing. I had to become better 😂😂😂
Learning to play tim hensons riffs is alot like learning to play the drums tbh. You have to get it on lock, make it muscle memory, if you think about it too much you end up messing up. Great playing brother.
40 oz sweep was rough lol, you were playing it on a super clean tone though so understandable. part of what makes that riff sound so great is the reverb and the harmonies you get from the notes slightly ringing out. playing it on the clean tone even played perfectly isnt going to sound as good
how far could you get playing polyphia but without a pick, I learnt most of my life fingerstyle and only played based rock songs with a pick. I've managed to get the Worst main rift down without a pick but is it time to pick one up and start learning?
I was watching this video and thinking "I going to slow the video and try it" the moment I go over my guitar, mf runs out of my room. She just quited. 😂

Yeah G.O.A.T. Is definitely the hardest! It took me many hours to master it.

destroying peoples temporary happiness part 1:@@NiLutpal07
I personally thought 13 is the hardest to perform perfectly.
i was sitting here thinking "no way thats only level 2" and then i remembered the video was about polyphia
LOL 😂😂
I mean its a fairly simple lead line utilizing some bends, nothing challenging persay.
it is extremely easy but trying to make it sound good is the hard part
It would be easy for a late intermediate or even a mid intermediate guitarist and for beginners, well it’s safe to say everything is hard for them lol
It is if you put it in the context of that was from their "debut"
Nearly a decade ago, holy crap
It's called ego death because your ego dies whenever you try to play it
*your ego dies at the glimpse of the tab 😅
Fr. 💀
I love how the other songs have interesting technique names like sweep madness, but OD literally needs you to learn teleportation, and ego death needs you to teleport while doing everything else.
that ego death was amazing wow
Hand Teleportation got me LOL

Crosty is a good easy song of theirs to learn. Not as complicated as some of their stuff and feels great to play. It's mostly just sliding octaves
How is this guy such a chad? He records his guitar in DI tone and proceeds to play the cleanest cover ever.Absolute mad lad
Can we get 15 levels of Animals as Leaders?
Level 1 is already too hard
Hold on, bro, I got u soon
7:30 Naaah not the whistle flex 💀 I feel violated 😭 😭 😭
He needs to be stopped 😭
That was a wholesome video man passed by like seconds. Good job organizing and presenting this stuff for us
Dude these are so damn clean! That’s hours of drilling that shit to get it that perfect! Good stuff man!
うますぎます！
Fantastic playing, great job!
My mans casually played through the entire discography. Cool collection of guitars too man. Hoping to see more vids from you 🎉
The arpeggios from Playing God still give me nightmares.
Literally practicing them every single day at half speed and slowly bringing them up for months. Pain.
Don't worry they gotta practice the songs they make too
Learnt playing God and goat and played them whenever I was bored, after a long break for exams I forgot them... everyone gotta practice to maintain skills 😅
Just like hitting the gym
Amazing video would love more breakdowns of specific techniques used by bands / musicians laid out with examples like this. Very high quality video
That Charvel you used is dope! One of my favorite guitars, especially for Polyphia songs!
first time seeing pink frh played by someone! great video btw :D
This is wild, congratulations🎉
This is such great inspiration for what to learn next
This is so impressive 🔥 great vid
killed! i love tim's champagne part
Ego Death just requires you to figure out how to ascend from the 3rd dimension and into the 5th
loved the background music at the end lol
absolutely incredible playing
hand teleportation 😭😭😭 this was so fun, thanks for sharing!! ☺️✨
well done on the goat riff dawg
you have just earned a sub my friend

the "Hands Teleportation" got me HAHAHAHA and also the whistle at the end HAHAHAHA I always whistle that too HAHAHAHA
legend doing these levels
Youre the 🐐
I agree to this and also for saying to buy Polyphia tabs! Well done!
Much respect for being able to play all that
Keep posting content like this and your guaranteed more subscribers
Talented!
youre literally the goat
Learning to play tim hensons riffs is alot like learning to play the drums tbh. You have to get it on lock, make it muscle memory, if you think about it too much you end up messing up.
Great playing brother.
wow you're really good at guitar
3:32 i really love this Goose part
Amazing!
Definitely Ego Death showcases EVERYTHING Polyphia is lmao. Nice job performing one hell of a demonstration of all that Polyphia is.
Currently been learning Hand Teleportation of O.D. Sticking to around 85/90bpm for now.
That some decication my friend, respect
Great vid! Wish you included the time signature too
This made me do a stank face. Very impressive dude!
excellent job
I feel like the crush solo needs more attention, wasn’t only done flawlessly but the tone was literally perfect
under lvl 1 gang here
being at level 9 from the beginning makes me feel much better about myself but also makes me realise i have a lot of way to go
おいおい、野生のティムがいるんだが・・・
うますぎだろ、そしてもっと伸びろ
Mr. KAWABATAは何者なんだ？
Should’ve done 16 levels and added the tremolo flutters. But all “should’ves” aside, insane playing my friend
bros hands was shaking
AMAZING!
I might be level 0.005 on this scale!
Bro ur so clean i swear u kill 99% of germs on ur guitar just by playing on it😭
casually played most of the Ego death song at the end. Cool
Level 14 Hands teleportation is the most accurate name for that song I've seen so far👍😵💫
everyone just sleeps on symmetry
Lol actually yes
I can confirm O.D is tough asf but putting level 14 doesn't feel fair at all, 40oz, the audacity,playing god or neurotica are way harder
Very surprised at drown harmonics riff being so high. It’s literally the only polyphia riff I learned in less than 15 minutes
Is that the Rick Graham sig Charvel? Man, I want one so bad. Can't wait to be back in the market.
Ego Death is insane bro
insane
とても良い。🎸🎶
so proud to be able to do only the level 1
40 oz sweep was rough lol, you were playing it on a super clean tone though so understandable. part of what makes that riff sound so great is the reverb and the harmonies you get from the notes slightly ringing out. playing it on the clean tone even played perfectly isnt going to sound as good
awesome..
Try hannabach 815 Silver Special's on the nylon it will fix all that buzzing trust me. I wont use anything else on that guitar anymore
I was just sitting here amdiring the guitar playing but had a stroke seeing that cable management
Never realized how hard the playing god arpeggios actually are
At 3:55 40oz is actually recorded as alternate picking not by sweeping.
Love the bread guitar
the guitar was ok, but that whistle cover at the end was legendary
woah where did you get the bread guitar?
how far could you get playing polyphia but without a pick, I learnt most of my life fingerstyle and only played based rock songs with a pick. I've managed to get the Worst main rift down without a pick but is it time to pick one up and start learning?
Wowzers 🔥😱
Holy shit...........
You should do a feature with them for real, for real.
I need Polyphia to drop guitar only versions of their albums
what string gauge did you use on the guitar where you played Ego Death?
GOAT
What is that guitar in the ending? Looks like tim's first signature electric in a tele style
The Abasi guitar gigachad
Coincido con el nivel 15, es el más difícil, pero el nivel 79 es tocar la canción completa
fuckn goddamnit. lvl 1 is my lvl6
sick
id argue some of their first ep is hard from a different standpoint
how do i max out at level 5 but can somehow play the goose riff as well
That basi flex though 🥵
Do the Jakub Zytecki please! ❤️❤️
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm gonna stick to drums I think
This is so sick.
Btw too many guitars🎉
whats cd time lol mb idk. also its insane that you played these lol.
Barring an 8 string guitar is crazy
wicked
Icronic on lvl 7 is scary for the rest of the video
You may rest
I was watching this video and thinking "I going to slow the video and try it" the moment I go over my guitar, mf runs out of my room. She just quited. 😂
You know is a Polyphia video when lvl 2 is already hard
