That lead guitarist looks like an anime character. I mean that in the best way, epic hair! That guitar play is on a whole other level! Dare I say God tier. 😂 Sick video Fisch! Thank you for bringing us something we all needed to hear.

[@harmatodlamstel6435]

I believe he is half asian

[@Ryl0o]

@@harmatodlamstel6435 he is indeed but hes also been playing guitars since a very young age

@@Ryl0o but..that has nothing do do with my comment about half asian...there was nothing to but about lol

[@jessekandres9047]

If Final Fantasy would include Tim as a skin for the main char like Noct, I might start playing it again. Tim looks awesome.

[@johnnyi2]

Watch Tim Henson’s unplugged guitar play through of this. It’ll make your head explode even more than it already has. Incredible

[@keesketsers5866]

The second section is more or less "Bossa Nova". Talk about a turnaround, from Spanish vibe to Jazz.

[@dirtona6579]

It’s like Latin-jazz-hip hop fusion. I can’t wrap my head around it; but I love it.

[@carlosb.arredondo8586]

There are some good wild samples of bossa Nova (latin jazz) with hiphop from artist from south america but nothing compares to Polyphia tbh

[@beensavage390]

it's melodic latin trap

[@jakepeters9332]

So sick you reacted to Polyphia man! I’ve been listening to these guys for years. The outro riff is some of the wildest classical chops I’ve heard. Tim absolutely kills it. I’m pretty sure Culture Shock by Polyphia is my most listened to song on Apple Music haha. Great video Fisch!

[@FischtankProductions]

Yeee shredskins

[@Alinsky12]

So many people focussed on the intro riff (which is obvs amazing), but the last riff frickin blows me away, especially seeing him do it in the unplugged version! Soooo good!!

[@moxusmarbleized7707]

Playing this is crazy, but imagine being able to come up with this!

[@Panyc333]

This reaction is the appropriate reaction.

[@FischtankProductions]

My guy…thank you.

[@x0x0skiller2]

Facts

[@jleighwolfe]

This song is addictive. Ive listened to it hundreds of times now and theres so many cool little things happening that i will never get tired of listening to it.

[@Reaper7mk]

You have a really fun personality man! Good reaction

[@wojtek1582]

7:05 definitely one of the best moments I have ever seen in any reactions :D Followed up by very good comment. Polyphia throws into their compositions numerous diamonds which by many popular musicians would be stretched to a whole song based mainly on that one diamond.

[@ParaLabo]

ahahah love this. i listened to this song all day long and then had a great time listening with your reaction.

[@sliip924]

I watched this reaction video... I literally may as well watch this while looking at myself in the mirror... So great to see someone appreciating this music exactly like I do 💜

[@OfficialRogue]

The flamenco/oriental-ish wii-loading-screen-style bridge part definitely hits different 🤯

[@joelmorningstar3645]

I love your persona, thanks for the reaction!

[@FischtankProductions]

Thank you bro. I appreciate it

[@imtimongbaimsong1823]

just the exact reaction i gave when i heard this song. love your reaction bro

[@gilliss6]

Just fucking awesome. Great reaction, bro. That band is just crazy stupid good.

[@lyconxero457]

If they did one thing really well with this song (and they did MANY) its got to be that the mixing is on point. Despite playing with nylon strings you can STILL hear everything beautifully in the mix.

[@beensavage390]

tim also does that too, as far as I know anyways

[@luisfelipesantosborges2341]

I heard the song the first time while at work, I wish as able to react as you do, because I feel the same way hahahaha love it

[@markguitar4953]

Dude I laughed so much watching this. your responce was awesome.

[@noodles7157]

Every time I hear fellow musicians react to Polyphia, it's always "Oh my f*cking god!", "What in the f*ck even is this?", "Holy f*cking sh*t", "How the f*ck?!?" 😂 It's nice to know I'm not alone in that feeling

[@ZionCrowley]

best react ever!! hahahahah u r so good with it bro!

[@RustyGonzo]

7:04 is a very succinct and accurate representation of exactly how I feel about that moment too, haha. Great reaction. Funny shit. edit: "...hskjdhfjksd... how? HOW?!" = also fucking true.

[@kh602black]

one of the best reactions bro

Thank you bro. I appreciate it.

[@RLS1]

It's like watching a concert pianist...but with guitars!!! Their fingers are going at super speed!! Wtaf?! LIKE 😲 😱!

[@RLS1]

And then of course the drums!!

[@zamplify]

Nothing about Tim Henson seems real. Like how is he so pretty? How does his hair go like that?

[@mdfmma123]

Good stuff brotha! 👊🏻

[@usuallyclueless4477]

5:20 I hear some Bossa Nova influence there.

[@FischtankProductions]

I definitely hear that too.

[@gustavoms7349]

during the podcast with the music is win he said that Bossa Nova was the main influence during the second part

[@ralphmunn1685]

Starts as kick-ass Flamenco, goes into a Bossa Nova for the second half. People call them "metal," but I think their sound is way more Prog-rock. With Clay Aeschliman's Trap-style drumming and Clay Gobot's soul-shaking coordinated bass, I think of them as Trap-Prog; it seems like they've created their own genre!

[@ronaldpenrod1528]

Trap prog = Trog

[@Porkobosso]

Dude arter the breakdown comes some flamenco

[@beautelfer7624]

Hi-lofi jazz semi-metal is the best I've come up with, and some clear swing in there too haha

[@RussXodare]

Yup... If you remember John McLaughlin, Al di Meola and Paco De Lucia, who were extraordinarily prolific beyond measure as induvidual guitarists - forcing every true guitarist of that generation, to, in time, come across their album, the "Guitar Treo", and listen to that as a standard - There is indeed a good spirit that floats around this world and possesses people in order that God himself may be heard. Polyphia is that, seeking to be heard this generation. As the many, indeed, truly are only the One... And listening to this is a F*#£ing Commandment... The title of this track says it all.

[@bigyoppa3403]

This is the new bar for guitarists lol I’m ready to put mine down after this one lol

[@FischtankProductions]

Bro…for real

[@RedPillMode]

That was fun!

[@PratyakshMusic]

Most genuine reaction ever 😂

[@luphoxcastl]

That genre on the style swap is Bossa Nova-esque.

[@uploads87]

8:24 Exactly :D ... all said!! FREAKING HOW

[@MrMauriv]

i hope they come to Finalnd any time soon

[@TobiiRheaStarr]

🔥🔥🔥

[@jordancoleman2693]

You need to watch their new single with Steve via called ego death.

[@FischtankProductions]

It’s on here :) check it out

[@jordancoleman2693]

Also the sounds you're referring to is bossa nova.

This song hits a mariokart groove mid song like i can see it in a race

I just want to say I totally agree with the comment below! He nailed it. They are amazing!

[@MrDdog678]

This song could be what Tenacious D prophesized

[@muzkizlifeftw]

Sick As s fuk

[@stephanielauren987]

I use to know how to play a little guitar like very little like I knew the Hanukkah Song by Adam Sandler Yellow by Coldplay because they use the same chords and the lead of you look wonderful tonight haha but watching shit like this makes me want to get back into it because I wish I could play just half as well as they do! Is 36 too old to try and learn again haha asking for a friend ps thanks for this reaction your Kelly reactions brought me here but I just love music so you are introducing me to a lot of goodies!!

[@BigDaddyBeefPatty]

Tama sales after this 📈

[@dominiccaciappo970]

Bossa Nova is the style they go into towards the end of the song, legit - oops someone already said that :/

[@reudevad]

Polyphia is insane

[@kambesalshira2746]

They have nylon string guitars

[@the_other_boys54]

I know you have already heard goat but please do a reaction video for it. i want to see if you can try and play it on guitar

[@mitchy4227]

From what I can tell it's out of what you normally listen to but I would get a total kick out of you reacting to Lady Gaga. Then again you could be her biggest fan, I have no idea 🤷🤣

[@fiolara4098]

I have few Artists ID like u 2 review ;& checkout...would you do a review on them..theyre different types of genres.."'** thank u

"rock artist"

[@planetgame779]

god for the gays

[@coryjordan6984]

When you claim to be a musician but don't know a thing about chord progression

[@FischtankProductions]

Check out our band Amahjra. You might be surprised. We have a lot of awesome guitar work, I just never cared to learn technical terms or by the book. I play by ear. We are out here playing shows and opening up for some big name bands and doing some awesome shows. I have always claimed I dont know how to "really play the guitar", I just know how to play it. But thanks for watching bro, hope you check out our band.

[@linchau17]

too much pause for me. :(

[@Just-Michael]

They're very impressive musicians, but I've never found their music to be very interesting. I've been playing guitar since 2004 (and other instruments since) and definitely couldn't play what they play, but I like plenty of music that I can't play, so it doesn't come from a place of jealousy. I just don't find their arrangements fulfilling. I don't know what story they're trying to tell.

[@SJNaka101]

I think polyphia is secretly just rap for guitar nerds. Party music for band kids. 40oz, Goose, GOAT... Just reading the song titles, you could be forgiven for thinking they belong to a rap artist. I love em, but yeah they dont really evoke much emotion in me aside from hype and awe at their skill. I'd get why you might not like them, since you said something about not knowing "what story they are trying to tell". I think there's simply not much story there. Kinda similarly to how drake is just forever talking about how he used to not be famous but now he is, polyphia is just saying yeah check out how fucking good we are at everything (which is totally fair because of how fucking good they are at everything).

[@Just-Michael]

@@SJNaka101 It's made worse by the fact that they don't have a vocalist. I'm not big on instrumental music, so instrumental music that's completely noodly and doesn't really go anywhere emotionally, it's pretty bland. Like they never hit a big beautiful chorus or anything with massive chords and a pretty singing melody, it's just riffs from start to finish.

[@Just-Michael]

@Christian Benitez Sort of, like what's all the hype about? Where's the substance? Where's the "aaahhh 😌" moment that all these riffs are hopefully building up to? I don't get it, man! Maybe it's for the vibe crowd who just like lo fi and all that. My friend sent me this EP where the songs were like 6 minutes long and never changed. It was just background music basically, and that ain't me. I like my music to reach out and punch me in the nose and grab my attention. What's the deal? 🤔

[@NobodyAwsum]

I almost stopped watching when you said Astros sound good. They are not shit, but they do not sound good compared to true good audio.

[@bouzoukiman5000]

Musician here. This crap song is boring. Hype takes over

[@CoreanKat]

Couldn’t disagree with you more. This puts their old music in the bin for me. Honestly was going to decide whether or not I would continue to hold hope for them as a band based on this song. First two albums unlistenable for me, TMH and NLND caught my interest but found most of it to be far too meandering, although I was extremely interested in what they were TRYING to accomplish sonically, I just didn’t think they were nailing it. This to me nails the exact thing they were TRYING to nail with NLND. If the new album is on par with this single it’ll be the first album of there’s I think well of.

[@bouzoukiman5000]

@@CoreanKat that's cool. This was my first time hearing them. I feel like they exact copied the New York Gypsy Allstars but in the most boring way possible

[@markopolo2224]

nahh its good as fuck

[@PoboyMusic]

I mean The New York Gypsy Allstars are talented and stuff but saying these guys are copying them is kind of a stretch. Idk.

[@TheSkinnychef1620]

Cool bro. You're the best.

[@carlosthejackel7581]

From a non musical instrument player is there a difference between classic guitar and Spanish guitar

[@FischtankProductions]

I think on flamenco guitars the action is lower. Meaning the strings are closer to the neck to make it easier to play. Other than that i am not sure.
