THE WORST - Polyphia | Guitar Cover by Sophie Burrell

[@nutellaking734]

The crazy thing about Polyphia Tunes is that they don‘t look too hard when played well, but as soon as you start breaking it down it‘s pure insanity😂 absolutely amazing Sophie!

[@SophieBurrell]

Hahaha it's because they make it look so smooth and fluid, then you get to it and realise there's like 20 different things happening at once! They've got the greatest poker faces I've ever seen in my life

[@hughnailedit9885]

Where did you get the full track without guitar? Did you fully have to edit it?

[@JTSYT]

@@hughnailedit9885 literally just search. " the worst backing track" lol

[@Jerry-tg2lj]

@@JTSYT they sell all the backing tracks for that album

[@Jerry-tg2lj]

i find polyphia songs to have an exponential learning curve, that is time on the x axis and how well you can play the song on the y axis lmao

[@Crow-iy7oo]

The worst’s “pre chorus” and “verse part” is so underrated. Please play Polyphia’s Nasty full cover. It will be fun watching you playing the verse part and Jason Richardson’s part.

[@2bros1hottub73]

not to doubt her skills or anything, but the worst is one of the more easy polyphia songs to play, and if she's saying it's the hardest thing she's ever played in her life it would be suicide to attempt to play nasty. Jason's solos are not to be fucked around with lol, that's a zero to 100 request

[@tweakr4377]

@@2bros1hottub73 I love nasty but that solo is something else (in a good way)

[@edgetransit1976]

​@@2bros1hottub73 if im given a day or two of practicing the worst, i could potentially pull it off in one take. however, if i was going to play nasty, i would need a year (probably more) to practice to be somewhere near the speed of the song, then another month to play the notes right. granted, i have known the worst for multiple months now, not to perfection, but still nasty is insane, but it is such an amazing solo

[@PandaHappyYT]

Jason Richardson's solo is way harder

[@Lovell93]

Dude I'm sorry but Nasty is an incredibly difficult song to play. I've been playing for 16 years mainly playing shred and I struggle to keep up with Jason's solo. Even the boy's part up to Jason's solo is nuts. The Worst is a pretty easy song overall. Definitely one of the easier songs, but still challenging. Nasty is a whole other level of insane. I mean maybe she can pull it off, who knows?

[@ShaunPrince]

The expression of satisfaction near the end, that you knew you had nailed those riffs, was priceless.

[@Composer_Ben]

Definitely not the worst Polyphia cover I've heard, don't be so hard on yourself. Keep playing! You've got a lot of talent.

@@liamstrauss5477 hey man ! I've seen a few people saying "this person did simlar things was done 30 years ago by that guitar player" but for the moment every musicians I checked did very different stuff than what polyphia does, do you have some recommendation that sound like tim's from back then ?

[@kodywhite1939]

this looks so effortless. ... *you did this so well that it made me realize ive been fighting against my guitar this whole time.* thank you, and thank you.🙏

[@terrys3496]

Love listening to her play. So clean and crisp never misses a note, like so many I've listened to that you hear the pause between half their movement up and down the frets and the fact that you see that she really enjoys playing. Watching others play sometimes they just seem so static.

[@pancon5]

Fantastic 🔥🔥🔥 1:19 When I first heard this and "Blood Moon" I thought that they were the most beautiful guitar parts I'd heard in 20+ years.

I was lost after the intro 😂 that clean section right at the beginning is extremely complicated compared to how it sounds.

[@x86G]

Seriously impressive - it's not easy to get Polyphia songs sounding even close - this was very good.

[@autumnwind148]

The distortion tone is absolutely perfect!

[@alexjohnson3175]

This is one of my favorites from Polyphia, it just grooves so hard. Been trying to learn it for a year or so. I've got the intro and chorus sections learned, working on that tricky lyrical bridge part.

[@panzerlieb]

Holy crap! You definitely raised the bar with this one. Your progress as a guitar player is simply amazing.

[@tonepilot]

Thier music is unbelievably hard. It hurts to think how many hours this took. Way to go.

[@Halcyonix-ei7vn]

Fantastic cover! My favorite part of any “The Worst” cover on KZbin is the comments of people who don’t understand that “The Worst” is the title of the song and are like “oh don’t depreciate yourself! This was so good!”

[@MikaTarkela]

This is my favorite song to play at the moment. I just started learning it and the first Hendrix-like riffs are so much fun!

[@davidallen3162]

I've never heard of Polyphia before. And the way you played that track was bloody fantastic Sophie. Your talent is amazing, thank you for sharing it with us.

[@itsmoshi4005]

Great cover! I just recently learned to play it fully, pretty much completely clean. Mess ups here and there but nobody is perfect.😂I learned watching Josh Thatcher's cover on KZbin and just following along lol. Takes many hours to learn Polyphia songs but it's so satisfying when you do.

Those pickups just sing with this song. Nicely done, super clean. It sounds more "rock" than "pop" when you play it, kinda interesting.

I think it's because of how the audio is mixed. This is very much guitar heavy in the mix. Polyphia mix in a more "pop" style.
