Genesis and Neurotica | Polyphia (LIVE COVER by high school band) | 5/25/23

READ DESCRIPTION: im the guitarist in this video and my friend Tim's the drummer. we couldn't find a bassist who could play these songs, so it was just the two of us performing on top of backing tracks I made for the show. both of us were connected to an in-ear system that monitored a click while the backing track stems (including the bass) were routed out through the main speakers. wasn't 100% clean playing, but the show was great and i was so happy with how well it sounded!
thanks for watching!

THAT NEUROTICA SOLO THOOOO OMG YOU COOKED

[@basssoup8455]

The crowd is so dead 😢 But still this is exquisitely performed

[@binodsarkarIN]

Crowd probably has no idea has who polyphia is and what they are playing. Kids these days hardly listen to music that's played on real instruments. Only mumble raps lol

[@bolillo5013]

@@binodsarkarINhey probably don’t know Polyphia because they’re not a huge band, I’m 16 and love them and saw them recently. I can listen to Polyphia and rap and whatever the hell else I want 💀.

[@micahiyobebe4030]

@@bolillo5013 actually they are a pretty big band, they're just really niche.

[@joshuaijaola2145]

@@binodsarkarIN you do realize they have a ton of young fans right?

[@user-ll4ou1td9n]

rule num 1. never play polyphia for anyone who isnt there to see polyphia No one cares abt your guitar skills and thats kinda part of the polyphia charm. Best to play some mainstream beatles song

[@joaogabriels.f.5143]

So funny to see your hand go for the missing whammy bar, hahaha. Great playing!

[@Kalebsweeten]

Insane to see two highschool kids more talented than I’ll ever be lol. AMAZING work, both of you guys. 🙏

[@Theocitrus]

damn he murdered that neurotica solo GOATED❤‍🔥

[@aussieflintkapping]

This is fucking awesome. Clean playing by both guitarist and drummer, these guys are going places

[@TheMessage25]

Both guitarist? Lmao what

[@aussieflintkapping]

@@TheMessage25 "by both guitarist and drummer" not "both guitarists and drummer" the missing "s" makes all the difference grammatically

[@TheMessage25]

@Aussie Flintkapping I'm talking about the fact it's only one guitar player here. Not two

[@aussieflintkapping]

@@TheMessage25 yes and with the way I worded my initial comment, the word "both" here indicates that I'm talking about the guitarist and the drummer, both people on stage. If I were to have said "guitaristS" you'd be correct.

[@TheMessage25]

@Aussie Flintkapping ohhh!, I'm so sorry lmao. I kept reading your comment but It just hit me how you worded it. My fault. I was thinking you thought it was two guitar players as well lol. My bad

[@meowmeow6640]

I guarantee Tim and Scotty will find this and love it

[@jonahellsworth5671]

The fact you can play all this standing up on a strat is crazy. I gotta be seated with my Ibanez prestige playing thru archetype for anything to sound good

[@JustCarMuh]

tim designs most of his tones based off of a strats single coil tones

[@Aristaeus89]

Also, is that a Suhr guitar? If so, those are also reaaally nice guitars

A beautiful performance bro, spot on tones too! Hope you don’t mind me asking what scores or tabs you used for genesis? Trying to learn those brass parts too

[@d4kila]

no scores or tabs i only found the midi chords to the multivoicer in the description of a cover. learned guitar parts and wrote in a midi trumpet by ear 👍

W drummer too tho

maaaan wish I have youtube back in my day so i can be this good before! :D

Rare to see a talented high school band haha

[@traixxe8649]

wish the drummer was a bit tighter, but damn you got some skill my friend

[@middot2513]

Sick bro. Would appreciate if you could tell how you got that tone. In all seriousness it's literally the juiced up overdriven strat that I dig so much so would love some tips

[@d4kila]

i used the HSS nick johnston sig ran through a tiny line 6 amp that was miced up. the amp is all digital and i basically cranked one of the crunch presets to the max, gain, tone, volume, and master all on 10. reverb and fx was turned off since we played in an auditorium with natural reverb

[@d4kila]

its not hard to get a tone like this with software tho, just takes a good amount of compression (slow attack, fast release) and then slowly pushing up the amp’s drive/gain to where ur dynamics sound clear when playing soft and crunchy when playing hard. from there, surgical and additive EQ and post fxs. hope this helps 🙏
