"We Have Polyphia Neurotica At Home..."

Polyphia Neurotica at home:
What's up everyone I got inspired to cover this song for the Polyphia cover contest. Unfortunately I missed the cutoff for the contest by hours lol :(. But anyway, what a beast this was to make! There are parts I changed either because the original was too difficult for me to play (Tim and Scott are incredible players!), it was hard to make out certain notes as I learned it all by ear, or I just wanted to change things up. :)
Hope you enjoy! It was a blast to make and really pushed me!!

I'm actually really mad because that solo proves he could've just done it all on guitar but chose not to 😂

[@ChrisDoughtyMusic]

😂 haha thanks man. Honestly though this song is very hard to play, and I don’t think I could’ve pulled off learning the whole thing in time, by the time I decided to do a cover of this for that contest they did. Job, wife, and kids, haha i just had to go a different route. But hopefully it led to making a version that sounds pretty unique!

[@RudeXII]

@@ChrisDoughtyMusic you definitely put a unique spin on it. The potential is within you if nothing else

[@TH-tl8hy]

The fact that you have a family and still can make such a killer song is awesome! So many youtubers are single or without kids, and don't know how hard it is to make time for creative pursuits like this!

[@pedrochinelato8851]

I thought the same dude

[@Luke-ih1oc]

@@RudeXII I get that this came from a place of good intentions but I feel like it's kind of a backhanded compliment in a way; I think his cover here was dope and if he chose to do a guitar-only cover it would likely be great as well

[@nofas5883]

Polyhpia has got to have one of the most creative fanbases

[@ChrisDoughtyMusic]

Thanks for watching!! Hope you liked it!

[@nofas5883]

@@ChrisDoughtyMusic I loved it

[@cerbi2720]

Well they have a unique and different sounding music, you can guess that it wouldn't attract anybody

[@sawyeratkinson]

You ever start typing a response and then keep deleting it cause every response makes you sound like an assdouche even though your not trying to be a super hot sauce burrito

[@gokiburi8]

It’s cause their fan base is everybody lmao

[@Ranakade]

Jeez, this is if Polyphia had some RPG game and you're starting off in the village. 🤣

[@ChrisDoughtyMusic]

Haha love that!!

[@amihere383]

I could see this song slowly evolving, adding in heavier percussion, more bass and electric guitar as the character levels up, adding to the perceived growth

[@psychefoxey2262]

That must be the melodica hehe

[@RoseArcade]

Unironically I want more music in this style, it's honestly strangely wholesome and relaxing? Like a home cooked dinner, that's not got the right ingredients but was made with love 💟

[@_ryannnnnnnn_]

You should listen to someone called TheRoyalrey. They're here on KZbin. Did some cover of Sigur rós songs and also some originals. They haven't been active for a while now though.

[@williama290]

I clicked on this expecting a meme, not an absolute masterclass on musical ingenuity

[@thabangmagashula]

Lol. I love how this doesn't take itself seriously but it's actually pretty good.

[@ChrisDoughtyMusic]

Hahaha thanks I’m a goofball for sure 😂

[@cerbi2720]

That's what "Polyphia" is

[@cerbi2720]

Bunch of goofers making weirdly good music

[@_stealth_y]

Only thing missing is an otamatone. Then it would be beyond perfection.

[@Supwisebs]

“Pretty good” ?? Just pretty good?

[@julianpischler9378]

This sounds like something you’d hear on a slightly futuristic Zelda Wind Waker style island, which as anyone knows is the highest form of praise you can bestow. Subbed.

*This Comment and You for thinking of it!

[@ChrisDoughtyMusic]

Thanks!! Glad you liked it!

[@BeckyDoughty]

The precisely tuned water glasses, tho - wow! I just love everything about this! (Even the cute little toot.)

[@ChrisDoughtyMusic]

Thank yooouuu!!!

[@3D1ofakind]

he put water in by the ml LOL

[@PiDev]

I love that you chose all "budget" instruments for this. Cordoba uke, Yamaha acoustic, some random tongue drum, and made it all sound great. Well done.

[@aqaridot]

yamaha acoustic budget lmao

[@lewdards1127]

@@aqaridot yeah some are like a couple grand haha

[@PiDev]

@@lewdards1127 the yamaha in the video is not a couple grand, it’s $680 new, and if the high end of your acoustic line is $2k you are still well in the “budget guitar” or “production line guitar” parameters, and that is what Yamahas are known for; very good quality guitars at a very affordable price.

[@Neion8]

@@PiDev I'm sorry but 2 grand for an acoustic is 'budget'/'very affordable' for you? And here I was thinking anything over a thousand was on the pricey side...

[@PiDev]

@@Neion8 read what I said again. The guitar he is playing is not $2k. It’s around $700. And yes, if the high end of your line is $2k, that is well within the range of “production line guitars,” when compared to boutique builders like Bourgeois or Lowden whose guitars can sell for near $10k (Yamaha does have custom shop guitars in the $4k range that one could argue are comparable). Note that I did not say that Yamahas are bad guitars, they are excellent guitars and are sold AT A BUDGET PRICE. That’s the point. It’s very weird how defensive Yamaha players get any time someone mentions the price of their guitars. Just play your guitar, bro.

[@Luke-ih1oc]

My man was hitting the good stuff when he made this

[@xoxoLuck]

You just made me realize Polyphia needs more hamboning, also the yellow schnozuloder thing is pretty cool. Cheers.

[@seyai1]

Do you mean a melodica?

[@ChrisDoughtyMusic]

Haha that’d be sick if they utilized some of these types of sounds!

[@BeefinOut]

I really dig the restrained, deliberate feel that each part has

[@helioking4523]

I absolutely love this!!!! as a massive Polyphia fan I wasn't sure what I was expecting, but this... this is just pure class. the whole dang song! incredible work👌👍👍👍👍

[@ChrisDoughtyMusic]

Wow thank you for the kind comment. 🙏🏼 so glad you liked it!

It’s almost like Frank Zappa decided to cover Polyphia! Love it!

[@hailianthus]

The lil "wowowow" around 2:30 and the laughter is me trying to sing along to Polyphia's songs in my apartment all day. I feel seen. Awesome video!

[@Xinbaset]

BOOMER BEND. This is perfect on every level. Thank Youu

Lullatone meets Polyphia? This is super cute, and really wonderful work! Probably one of the best and most creatively done covers I've seen of a Polyphia song, let alone of Neurotica. Lots of really great, well executed ideas in here - like, the singing laughter? I mean c'mon lol.

[@deanr6327]

This is what it would sound like if Polyphia made the soundtrack for Outer Wilds

[@ChrisDoughtyMusic]

To be honest had to look up what Outer Wilds was! From the front cover of the game I could see what you mean! Looks woodsy :) thanks!

[@gabsanchez1]

this is really good. I appreciate the almost narrative story element it feels like you’ve added to the song with your cover video 😊 this was extremely pleasant

This is so cool!!! I’d had the idea to cover a polyphia song in a similar style since I don’t have the skill to play any of their stuff properly, but I kept putting it off cause it seemed really daunting. That said, listening to your cover is seriously inspiring me to give it a go, so thanks for that!
