Polyphia - The Worst (Playthrough)

My attempt at playing The Worst by Polyphia.

[@manu2811]

this is one of those videos where you say "oh, it doesn't look that hard" then you get all your fingers tangled. incredible playing

[@josh_thatcher]

😂😂😂 thanks Manu. ✌️

[@apidas]

he makes it looks easy

[@sparda9060]

Its not hard.... but to string all the sections together at the speed that tim plays is the actual hard part.

[@philipjoh5131]

@@sparda9060 Yeah switching techniques so quickly is really hard to do

[@sparda9060]

@@philipjoh5131 You must be a little kid. Actualy long time guitar players who been playing for over 10 years actually describe what I said as the best way to learn Polyphia songs and the hard part is to play it all together. Nice try at trolling.

[@Iam_Geno]

This is overwhelmingly the best cover of this song on KZbin well done

[@josh_thatcher]

Massive compliment! Thanks bro. 🙏🙏🙏

[@pbchalupa]

The timing, the precision, so much nuance with each note. Absolutely stunning cover.

[@ThreePictous]

Best cover so far, good angle, gonna be slowing this one down for sure.

[@rllydud9617]

gosh man the tempo is killin me this is perfect

[@josh_thatcher]

Thanks rlly düd. Make no mistake, the tempo kills me too. At least once a week I have to slow this shit down and slowly build it back up to tempo to keep these chops fresh and clean.

[@frankthecat9547]

1:35 has to be one of the most beautiful guitar parts I've listened to in a while

[@lopezb]

Good point! Agreed.

[@ovandriyanov]

You know, that was the exact point where I paused the video and took my guitar to try to play this riff. And then I went to the comment section and saw your comment, pointing out this beautiful part in the melody.

[@prasadsatpute1294]

Kinda sad that Polyphia does not play that verse live

[@dcfromthev]

This is my favorite song of theirs, and that's saying a lot! Excellent cover bro, amazing work!

[@josh_thatcher]

Thanks so much. 🙌

[@dylanmccormickmoran3528]

This is INSANE man!! Major props!!

[@josh_thatcher]

Thanks Dylan. 👍

[@Adam-jo2ii]

I love the song so much, thank you for taking the time to really nail it. SO TIGHT!!! ;D

[@josh_thatcher]

Thanks very much Adam

[@bobby_hill8357]

So sick dude. This is the best and most accurate cover of this song I've ever seen. Really awesome job. You nailed it and made it look easy. 👏 👏👏

[@josh_thatcher]

Thanks bro. 🙏

[@TheSHAKTA]

Stunning workmanship & beautifully played Josh😍👏👏👏👏👏❤️

[@CLOAKBEATS.]

this song was written so perfectly down to the last details. You really did a great job of hearing those details and putting your foot on it. Wonderful job sir they influence me in a big way as well. HiFive

[@josh_thatcher]

Thanks so much Cloak Beats 🤚

[@danefugate1281]

awesome, insane skills. cleanest cover version yet by a long shot

[@josh_thatcher]

Thanks Dane. 🙌

[@ChiefBret]

I've watched a few of your playthroughs now, you're so freaking good man

[@josh_thatcher]

Thanks for the comment bro. 🙌

[@brunobarqueta]

Beautiful song and performance =D

[@josh_thatcher]

Thanks man

[@HotSoup2009]

Dollar tree Satriani nailed this hard. Great work sunny jim!

[@josh_thatcher]

Lol! 😅 That is so funny. 💪😎

[@HotSoup2009]

@@josh_thatcher lol sorry I'm a butthole. I came back for more and still love this cover. Excellent execution. I always told myself I know I have become actually good when I can listen and enjoy like it's the original. I listen to this while I'm talking more shit about others. I'm the worst.

[@Luke-ih1oc]

This was a fantastic cover! 1:53 is the only "mistake" I noticed and I'm not even sure if that's accurate, but to me it sounds like he slides between a couple frets really quick instead of just doing a single pull-off there.

[@josh_thatcher]

Thanks for the comment Luke. I think you could be right on that one 😅 👍

[@neurLOON]

beautiful cover my man. very clean and accurate

[@josh_thatcher]

Thanks Joe. 🙌

[@jairusmislang2760]

great cover. straight to the point... no excessive editing or whatsoever. i still have no idea how to play this except for the intro/bridge riff

[@BigD224]

My mom bought me most hated ep tabs Cant wait to play this song I’ll have to come back to ur video to see where all its at

[@josh_thatcher]

Great stuff Aven. You’ll have leveled up your playing 6x by the time you finish the album. Best of luck. Post videos. 👍

[@BigD224]

@@josh_thatcher absolutely 👍 i’ll keep yt updated ty for the kind words

[@kayosiris7470]

You did this perfectly. Chefs kiss 🤌

[@bahadrozanaktas3035]

Perfect cover. Totally overlap with the origin👏👏👏 My ears could not perceive any fault. Congratulations👏👏👏

[@josh_thatcher]

Thanks bro. 🙏🙌

[@jimmyhobbit6570]

Spot on cover. Great video and thanks for sharing !

[@HarshvardhanKanthode]

This is some really clean playing, somebody send this to Tim and see his reaction ✨✌️

[@josh_thatcher]

That would be awesome! 😅

[@LGSHHS]

i had a real hard time checking if it was fake or not. Omg you really nailed those tones and every note was played so clean, my guy you get the award for the best cover on youtube

[@josh_thatcher]

Haha! Thanks so much Laurens. ✌️

[@jaredbivens3541]

great job man! your hybrid picking is really solid. I'd like to hear/see you cover So Strange

[@kj22697]

All one take, and clean af. This Is a performance man

[@guitarplayerslayer1]

That was spot on. Nicely done!!!!

[@stephencrockett3803]

Another listen, from yours truely, words cant discribe this dude this track Awsomeeeeeer

[@josh_thatcher]

Thanks very much Stephen. 🙏🙏

[@GamingonFiction]

Fuck. Yes. Wow, what a great cover!

[@TheMrericmichel]

Incredible playing. Really great man, well done! Greetings from Kzn, South coast. Mhlungu! ;)

[@josh_thatcher]

Thanks very much Eric. I appreciate the comment. 🙌

[@Brandon-qg7ch]

Amazing cover my guy.... phenomenal playing, the kind of guy that is most likely to hold a jam sesh with Tim himself

[@Brandon-qg7ch]

Also, to the guys saying the have no chance in playing this.....I challenge you to save the money and buy a quality guitar. I saved up for a Jackson JS series and the quality of that guitar allowed me to actually sweep pick! I've tried for years on my Ibanez GIO but for some reason the lack of good material stopped me? Not entirely sure, but buying a $600 guitar helped me unlock the skill I already had but was held back by a budget guitar haha hope this helps someone

[@josh_thatcher]

@@Brandon-qg7ch I couldn't agree more. Good quality gear is not only easier to play but keeps you inspired to want to play. 🔥

[@elizabethsluka4409]

IMMACULATE

[@jethroe.davids132]

The shirt!!😂 love from South Africa, brother. Your skills are amazing

[@Notsuba]

Best of The Worst covers I've seen by far. I can't wait to reach a level of mastering like yours. Congratulation !

[@josh_thatcher]

Thanks so much Valentin. I still feel like a noob in comparison to some of these guys. Really appreciate the comment. 🙏

[@Notsuba]

@@josh_thatcher I guess we're all somebody's noob lol. If that makes sense ^^

[@abikyoukan2]

[@sparda9060]

Its good that you cover this song, not many people cover their older songs starting from The Most Hated album.

[@peterotten9128]

That’s cool and I feeling this cover

[@MrFerreira29]

Só clean and well played, congrats from Brasil Man.

[@josh_thatcher]

Thanks very much Di Ferreira. Greetings from South Africa.

[@harrovw]

After watching you play Florence you got me inspired to try and learn to play this songs, then I found out you did the play through of The Worst as well...what a gift! I think you are an amazing player and it's very hard to hear what is original and what is you playing! Keep on making these little jewels! I signed up on your channel!

[@josh_thatcher]

Thanks so much for your kind words 🙏 it inspires me to keep going with this channel. Busy working on a few new videos at the moment so watch this space. 🔥

[@anthonypillarella]

The tone on this is perfect. Did you use Tim's Neural DSP tone for it or figure it out yourself?

[@josh_thatcher]

Thanks man. I used the Helix for this one. I’m loving the Tim Henson Neural DSP though. Best guitar plugin out there. 🔥

[@stephencrockett3803]

Josh hi from london nw i trust your well and in good health my friend💌

[@jimnguyen.]

Your movement is so damn controlled

[@viscottyhottie]

Best covers are those that aren’t overpowered by the original track this one is slightly overpowered but still good. I think most are looking for a raw sound not the original

[@JamesGaoist]

what a nice JS. what year is it? spot on cover too!

[@josh_thatcher]

Thanks James. I think it's a 2010 JS 1200.
