Tim Henson - Playing God Unplugged (Rock Artists Reaction)

[@BlackKoshka23]

Tim said in an interview that he has to be able to play it flawlessly with his eyes closed/while interacting with the audience and at full speed, because if he tries to think about it, he'll mess it up, so I figure there's a lot of practice and building muscle memory behind videos like this.

[@beensavage390]

id say atleast 300-500 hours of practice to get to that level of muscle memory and reaction time in relation to your body doing it involuntary

[@beensavage390]

oh and i mean those hours are per song. not overall.

[@darkcircle899]

​@@beensavage390 Yeah I'd say that's one thing that's underrated about Polyphia the guys in the band aren't just playing gods they also practice more than most professional musicians in the rock space. I would compare their amount of practice to a professional violin soloist more so than most rock musicians.

[@kbob9625]

I never played at this level... obviously but I did compete in state for sax and was all honors and it really is like that. You just practice sections over and over and over and over and over until thinking about things actually slows your fingers down. During performances you also can enter a flow state where the muscle memory just takes over and you kind of just lose yourself.

[@crimsonBlair]

I really liked this comment because it's always easy to say "oh, yeah, they're just talented", but even if they of course are, there's A LOT of practice and work put in their pieces for them to work the way they do, individually and as a band

[@delbomb3131]

Guitars have changed a ton, but more in the technology of the output and the availability of knowledge and learning mechanisms. Like for as good as tim is, he keeps no secrets. His tones and tabs are readily available and he's pretty open about his writing process. Someone in his position 30 years ago would be secretive about it all.

[@hovis_esports]

never thought about that, but yea nowadays the musical gurus of the world are online constantly sharing knowledge, jacob collier for me especially. his vids have helped my playing so much i would’ve hated learning piano 30+ yrs ago😅🤣

[@Halo-lg7rq]

@@hovis_esportsI wouldnt be half the musician if it was back then, we are blessed

[@daemon4202]

Dammit I missed that 245th harmonic in the 3rd verse... Gotta re-record the whole thing again.

[@benmorrison8533]

10:06 "Like, he's not even proud of himself right now"

[@FischtankProductions]

Haha i never watch my reactions back so i don’t even remember saying that. I love comments like this.

[@WillWalkerShred]

@@FischtankProductionshe says in his member only videos they take him all day so he’s like pissed by the time he gets a perfect take😂

[@frisbey326]

"What ethnicity is he?: God?:" 😅😅😅

[@JCR4990]

I'm not convinced Tim Henson is a human being

[@AT-xk3eu]

I agree with you guys, Polyphia is incredible. I think musicians are more blown away then the average listener because we understand the creativity, talent, skill, etc. that is on display here. Its so impressive its almost like a new genre.

[@debasritadas1176]

Exactly Though I usually don't listened to rock music other than Linkin Park but man Tim's skill is next level! I can't get it out of my head...he must have practiced 40 hours His precision and clarity destroys my soul..I need to practice🥲❤️

[@lwwells]

Tim paid somebody $32 on FIVVER for that whistle part

[@EnkiSvohden]

If you've seen Playing God and this acoustic version, definitely check out other music videos like GOAT, 40oz, and Look but Don't Touch. Their on camera work is incredible!

[@ArtimusClyde]

I think his mom is Chinese and his Dad an white dude... he has mentioned them in videos

[@winatas]

[@Flyhighman77]

He is quarter white ,his mom is half-white hal-asian so ,Quapa ,I would say

[@bighova09]

[@dazednconfused2245]

Tim is like the ultimate hybrid Classico Jazz Metal and Rock all rolled into one

[@stephanieritter4771]

It was dope and his look is totally anime... And my first this is not just a minute into it before you guys even discussed it was that generation get insanely better at anything musical computer technology etc and I don't know if it's amazing or scary just I was astounded

[@solomon1453]

generation of miracles but in music

[@R3dV0m1t]

Talking about Tim doing this in one take is gold, he could screw up and it still would sound amazing so it doesn't even matter

[@Dashomin]

His ethnicity is half Chinese half American for your question

[@TPhoenixt]

I think that’s his newest crossover sig guitar, imagine dude is 29 with 2 signature guitars

[@eleventhcassette]

"missed a singled note that no one even noticed" cracked me up hsjkda

[@Ken_Smith]

That was sick! I encourage everyone to check out Amahjra and watch Billy absolutely kill it on the drums. I love you BILLY STICKS!

[@OriginalPuro]

He is called Timmy Hendrix for a reason.:D

[@ap19918]

Polyphia should do reaction video to all the 'reaction to Polyphia song' videos

[@RLS1]

That was impressive! I'm speechless!

[@ImjaTse6189]

It feels like it's not the same instrument that I've been playing on for more than 30 years now. I f'''ed up at the beginning I guess.

[@kawhileonard7731]

This is by far my favorite reaction of Tim’s work

[@jackieraulerson2005]

What ethnicity? Guitar Sex God, oozing it all

[@itsdioxide7190]

i can’t unhear the “wii” now

[@chaddeverger4192]

He actually writes his songs on piano then transfer the notes to guitar.

[@curtispop8123]

We all know Tim Henson is GODLIKE, but the drums is insane...........

[@Visual_Piano]

Tim is mixed, chinese and American

[@jackieraulerson2005]

There is no definitive “American” ethnicity . We are from everywhere else.

[@Visual_Piano]

@@jackieraulerson2005 tim is chinese and the other part of him is from the us. i could also say asia and America. lmao

[@kenyattacoleman7284]

Tim is half white and half chinese and all guitar god

[@ofthebranch9569]

Great reaction!

[@JamesJohnson-ig6of]

BRO: First time Comment to your Channel. Except, my reason isn't to comment on this artist; instead to say a word about a previous artist/song, ELVIS, and "Unchained Melody". The multiple times you noticed and commented on "drops of sweat on his chin" - - - I can offer at least one reason. His "suit" alone was very heavy. ELVIS'S tailor, who designed his performance wardrobe, said some of the suits plus the signature gold-buckle belt could way in excess of 60#s plus. But, THANK YOU, for your otherwise excellent reaction!

[@Agent86th]

Nice intro line hahahahahaha

[@ryanrivers1259]

It’s like Jaco making love to his bass.

[@vandykmail]

Since when is Brian from Impractical Jokers reviewing guitar videos?

[@OutOfTheBoxThinker1]

Great content ! ,make sure you look at the lens when talking instead of looking at yourself in the camera screen lol

[@FischtankProductions]

Thank you. I appreciate you. It’s weird i catch myself doing that alot. With all these screens it’s too much to look at haha. I’ll practice right now on my live stream goin on in 30 minutes
