I broke my fingers. Thank you

[@JimDewdGuitars]

What he can do in standard tuning is truly amazing.

[@phalanger1]

and standard 4/4 for that matter

[@chrisshreds626]

Beautiful. Pre- neck tatt tim. Thank you for posting this

[@abikyoukan2]

Chris Shreds my pleasure bro

[@chunky_greens7545]

Easiest riff ever. Learned it in 20 minutes

Can confirm your fretboard will be saucy if you play this with rusty strings.

[@strangecorgi2903]

And the worst thing about all this is, learning the song is the easy part! But it's so addicting to practice...

[@deploration]

honestly, I could spend hours just practicing the same part of the same song over and over.

[@stingEM852]

You can learn to play the riff. But maintaining that tempo and playing the whole song is just hard.

[@darkletrs4286]

How does anybody write this 😂😂 very creative man

[@adecree]

So good! Now I just need to make my fingers 2x as flexible and long and I might have a chance at considering playing this

[@honeypotusername]

You don't need long fingers bro ❤

@PotatoKing86 stretching? Your fingers will do what you want eventually with enough practice, unless your hands are seriously tiny

3:57 i knew he changed the chord to look cool💀

[@jannestefanoobski3604]

Its to "let ring" the notes

[@imbranato6758]

4:00 holy shit, that chord is impossible 🤯🤯

rather than impossible, is painfull

This is honestly one of the Easiest riffs he’s made

[@mcfuckface7149]

This sounded really hard to play but after actually learning how it's played makes it much easier.

[@Travis_1245]

@@MrAFK495 yes it is 😭 these are both songs by him

[@muenchhausenmusic]

The chord at 1:43 sounds different in the studio recording to my ears. There it sounds more like the Hendrix chord over E to my ears (so e - g# - d - g). The chord he shows here shares some notes, but it sounds a bit too clean in comparison to what I hear on the record. I mean, he will know how to play his own song 😅 But still, do any of you guys have any insights?

[@PTBsynthex]

First song I learned. I haven't played in 13 years. Thx

Bro even thundercat is watching this like WAIT HOLD UP SLOW DOWN

[@GUI123245]

Correct me If im wrong... But this feels way harder than g.o.a.t.

[@kurrandor]

Im not gonna argue - took me a month to play goat somewhat on tempo still with some mistakes - takes me way over a month to not play this "somewhat on tempo" :D

[@reavu4742]

Yeah I got that impression aswell, goat is easy if you can hybrid pick saucy has so many awkward stretches

[@moltenhydrogen2218]

goat is one of the easiest riffs in nlnd. people are just overexaggerating how hard the riff is without listening to any of polyphia's other songs

[@reavu4742]

@@moltenhydrogen2218 completely agree, not to say goat is easy, but it's one of the cases of people mistaking the difficulty of a song with it's recognisably and popularity

[@alexmartin7165]

I agree completely. The riff from G.O.A.T, Goose, The Worst, and Nasty are all easier for me than this one (not that I can play any of them perfectly yet lol). I find the hard part about this riff, is all the weird chords at a fast tempo and having to hit harmonics between almost all of them

[@je2097]

Yeaa Im gonna stick with the easier cover 😂😂

[@GOTS-nm7fp]

where he made tutorials?

[@sapobururu]

I guess it is on members only

[@samuelling4686]

Ok

[@swinephrog6428]

You might be able to play polyphia riffs with a lot of practice, but I bet you can’t write polyphia style riffs

[@R1F12]

It’s really not that hard it’s pop chord progressions that are just really arpeggiated

[@nonsensecontent1885]

can somebody tell me the name of the guitar he's using

[@mattcordero8890]

weird chord shapes

[@GOREMAXXX]

Why is what he plays is different on some parts than what it says on the official guitar tab

[@highlandparkguitarlessons8129]

Because the official tabs have some errors

[@SilverTheGuitarist]

Maybe the official tabs are how it was recorded, and this is how he plays it live? Idk

[@0987654ewsxcvbhjjhg]

Lol its a troll. When he does a tutorial he uses harder chord shapes so that you really have to work for it since you're getting it free. The tabs have slight variation but some shapes are easier.
