Music Producer Reacts to Ego Death by Polyphia feat Steve Vai for the First Time!!

[@MitchRapp01]

Dude. One of my guilty pleasures is watching reactions to my favorite polyphia songs. A lot of polyphia enthusiasts do this because you get to experience the music all over again. I love watching people new to polyphia going down, what we refer to as, the “Polyphia Rabit Hole”. That said, I’ve watched TONS of reactions and your pointers and input were very unique and I learned a lot. Thumbs up for sure

[@paularsenault2810]

Dude I got into polyphia from ego-death coming across my facebook feed, which was like 2 months ago? Since then I've gone head first down the rabbit hole and got my spotify wrap a few weeks ago and they ended up being my number 1 listened to artist at 1306 minutes! These dude really are on such another level

[@spongmoid842]

@@paularsenault2810 I got into Polyphia randomly through one of Davie504's vids about two weeks before Playing God dropped, number 1 on Spotify wrapped as well, 1835 minutes! Also happy holidays :)

[@erekjahn4586]

Real. Thanks for that I feel seen

[@boxcarkid82]

Hahah absolutely feel the same.

[@666oatson]

It's a year later now and I still look for new polyphia reactions like everyday lol

[@BrittanyNgo01]

The one playing the trumpet is Ivan from Brasstracks. They are the feature in the first song on the album (Genesis) and this song is the final one. So, it's a nice little piece of cohesion that they're first and last on the album

[@wild_one.82]

Scottie Lepage is the other guitarist. And man they are so damn good live

[@nathangrimes4173]

For REAL! I saw them live in Charlotte and Tim is obviously highly technically skilled, but the Scottie has HUGE stage presence!

[@darkcircle899]

@@nathangrimes4173 Polyphia definitely wouldn't be even close to the same live without Scott!

[@Beaufortlawrence]

My dude, I’ve seen these guys live, the show was note for note flawless. Absolutely masterful. Give some of their playthroughs a watch. They do a live full Band studio recording of neurotica that is mind blowing!

[@mpkelley20]

The guitar at the beginning is an Ibanez that was made years ago but discontinued due to poor sales. But Tim got one and has worked with Ibanez to make them again. It’s in preorder now for about $699 and will ship in early 2023 I think. It’s under the tod10 name and is one of his new signature line. Also released a 6 string Ibanez electric that just got announced a week ago. Scotty has his as well. No 7 strings yet. I ordered the nylon one for my son who is a guitar and bass player (he’s 15). He’s wanted a classical guitar to add to his collection and this Ibanez gives him the sound but can also be used with an amp so seemed like a good option.

[@usuallyclueless4477]

Some people got it already so it started shipping in the EU I guess.

[@larsmiles7231]

I love that you mentioned the drummer/bassist. Strongest rhythm section in quite a long time.

[@drew4ds220]

The "synth you are hearing toward the end is actually the trumpet player brasstracks from the outro!! He is featured in 3 of the songs off of their new album and they are all the best songs on the album IMO.

[@rafliirfanhaikal6526]

Imagine being vocalist for this band, THEY GOT YOUR BACK!

[@jarltheawesome2959]

The bassist and the drummer is both named clay 😂 then the other guitarist is named scott and then tim Appreciate the video you put out🎶

[@swere1240]

steve is also using a guitar with a sustainiac pickup system on it which is how hes getting those crazy noises i cant really explain how it works but there cool if your interested look up them. its not synth like you think its the guitar pickup

[@alejandrogarcia3530]

On an interview with Tim he said that he found an Ibanez guitar in a pawn shop in Germany. He messaged Ibanez and they told him it was a marketing failure from 1998. He then pursued it's re-enlightenment with his suggestion.

[@CopsYumi]

Scotty Lepage dude, thats the second guitarist. Hes the MC in the new album

Not sleeping on him. He's great haha I'm just a big Tim fan

[@OttawaChad]

Godin has been making a nylon string electric guitar since the 80's, look up Godin Multiac Nylon

[@danilocaco2105]

Been learning to play some of their songs, Tim never uses tap harmmonics, only natural harmonics form de 5th, 7th and 12nd frets

[@KeenanCrow]

Good catch on the scalloped board, hadn’t caught that

[@whenisdinner2137]

The second guitarist is scott lepage

[@Mango-rn7gy]

That black guitar it his signiture from ibanez

[@connork8321]

Hey man, got some recommendations for your consideration. Jonah Nilsson - Diamond ring ft Steve Vai and Cory Wong - Concrete ft Mark Lettieri both of which are absolute bangers!

[@0112_dawn]

Please give a reaction to Save our lives sung by Forrestella, a Korean crossover group!!

[@theatticreview777]

I know it wasn’t intentional…but ouch the disrespect @5:45 for Scott….thank goodness this album really had him shine…absolutely love his solo in Neurotica 🖤🔥

[@MusicByMattie]

No disrespect intended!

[@skrypton1k]

Without Steve... This song prolly can't be replicated live. Everyone else can replicate their parts. But The opening of Steve's part.... Used joint shifting. A technique he created that... Despite giving lessons n theory guides on it... Ppl are having diffulty executing. . You add in the fact that Steve enhanced that technique with whammy inflections means... To replicate his part accurately.... You have to understand and be comfortable with that technique, while still... Being able to shred at an elite level. Steve... At this point in time... Is the only person experienced and proficiency in all the aspects of his part of the track. So yeah... The only way we get a full run thru, that meets expectations sonically.... Is if polyphia do it with Steve as a special performance

[@M.Hinamina]

tim hensons like the Paganini but for guitars lol

[@x511100x]

11:30 those weren't synths, they're real trumpets

hy Mattie.. please check "BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY" Fingerstyle cover by Alip Ba Ta. please!!

[@jamestalkington6306]

Pardon my ignorance but isn't classical guitar nylon stringed? Like Spanish classical. So how could they be newly invented

[@the_mayorofabuja4709]

Noooo You can't not know who SCOTT (the second guitarist) is and say it's okayyyy They're like ying and yang.... One doesn't go without the other

I can’t recommend Plini ebook. Honestly, just pick a song and I feel confident that you’ll enjoy it no matter what. Plini. Thank me later.

[@josephsantana3094]

Other guitarist is Scottie Lepage and some would argue he's better than Tim Henson.

[@GramadinGG]

It was super weird you couldn't be bothered to look up the other guitarists name, like Polyphia is more than just Tim.

[@jctrader232]
