He even slows it down to save us some work when learning it. Legend

This was such a challenging riff to learn and I cannot even comprehend being able to compose something like this… it’s just mind shattering!

This sounds so beautiful on nylon strings

really liking tim's nylon string explorations, hope he continues with it for a while

The look on his face at the end of “meh that was too simple” 😂

The slower version sounds like an emotional heart to heart between two characters at sunset

The wild part is how well the lyrics match to the sound. It just, fits so well. Like absurdly well

You even played it slowly for us. What a true gentleman

I like the switch to nylon strings. It’s a really cool sound. Tim cracks me up. A lot of guitarists add a lot of flare with their facial expressions and body especially when playing something complicated or even groovy. Tim is quite and let’s the music shine in the spot light and have its moment. You know when he is feeling it when you see his head and neck start moving. I know he is not showy because it’s all about the music but it’s nice seeing he is into it even if it’s just a little bit.

The musicianship is truly unbelievable. Him and manuel are my favorite guitarists

Finally!! Love this riff and what you guys are doing!! Can’t wait for the album!

Always love the riffs! They are always tastefully delicious, love the jazz elements in this one.

4 months later and this is still one of the most insane riffs I Have ever heard in my life. The more often I hear this, the more astonished I am. Thank you.

Bro Tim my guitar teacher introduced me to polyphia a few weeks ago and tbh I have not been able to stop listening to your music and as someone who plays guitar I want to try and base my style of guitar of of your way of playing because it just sounds so amazing and beautiful

I knew this was coming eventually! Thank you IMMENSELY for playing it slowly.

Love this riff, this song is so good!

Its amazing that a genius like Tim exists. He is so fucking humble and so fucking open with all the secrets of his music. He is the musician the music deserves and I'm 100% sure he is just doing music history right now.

The fact he did it twice . Once at full speed and once slowly. You guys really do know your audience super well.

I love how you can tell how many times he recorded it just by his mannerisms and body language 😆😆

Sweet riff, super cool to hear it on it's own, the full song is a bop too (as are all of your guys' music lol)

love how he always tries to help us learning his songs, my man slowed it down to make it easier

I go on the KZfaq start page and this video shows up from "8 seconds ago". Really nice playing as always dude.

The look Tim gave at 00:40 was like "Dude, do I really need to make this tutorial for you?. It's booooooorrriiiiingggg." With Squidward voice..

Wow, somehow this sounds so romantic and (IMHO) even better when slowed down. Waiting for the fan-made “slowed + reverb” version of ABC now lmao

I've listened to the song once this morning and its been stuck in my head all day

Polyphia transitioning to nylon strings was the best thing they could've done. Absolutely beautiful

Never been a fan of this style of guitar playing but you have to respect the amount of talent it takes

Absolutely brilliant at writing riffs

I love that they do these stripped down versions and then slow it down. They know their audience so well.

I recently stumbled across this band as it was recommended on my Spotify (the art cover also caught my attention, purples and pinks are my fave colours). I vibed so hard with it. 💜

Those semitone trills/embelishments look damn hard to play. I love how with Neurotica and ABC the guitars sound as if they're imitating a vocal part.

Love your guitar - Thanks

Would really like to see a comprehensive break down on the approach to writing this album. I genuinely hope there’s lots of “making of” footage we’ll get to see in the future.

Another day another absolute banger of a song by tim and the boys 🤘🏼

that’s soooo nice man, what the fuck 🥲 maybe one of my all-time favourite polyphia riffs?!

Tim you are a legend, thanks for thinking of the community!

this sounds so good on its own

So in love with those melodies you guys bring us

Love watching you work man

this riff sounds so unique on nylon and only Tim could imitate it

I'm so glad you played it slow... to remind me that I'll never be good enough at guitar to play a jam like this. Got yalls album 4 hoodie... still waiting for album 4!

This is a joy to listen to. Thank you for being you!

This man is a true inspiration. Straight up guitar wizard!

I like the little smile he gave at the end. Makes me think he was proud he obtained a clip of it on his first attempt. :D

The legend turned even more legendary, playing it slow at the end for us!

Tim is so creative, this is beautiful

The fact that he slowed down, makes me think that he cares about the guitar nerds around the world, love u Timmy 😍❤️😉

Sounds sick as hell my dude

What's crazy is even if you learn how to play this and feel good knowing you can and, it's never as good the original source or musician who came up with it. That's humbling! Makes you admire their work that much more

I have this excerpt running through my head all the time.....that's a sign of a great melody

this post is the best birthday present ever

I love those unplugged riffs

Tim is so cool he warps space-time around him

Was waiting for this🔥🔥

Tim your is the walking definition of a flex. He can make that's sounds soo good fast and make it sound even better slow

I can literally play anything this guy plays ... in my dreams. Whilst I'm awake, and actually physically practicing, I can't. You are a phenomenal guitarist sir, awesome.

What a musician’s musician. Creates the most innovative and mind boggling guitar compositions only to turn around and attempt to de-mystify the madness for us plebs. I’m a thirty something “once was” and hadn’t been inspired to pick up a guitar other than to teach my kids in almost a decade. I now play daily and am light years beyond the guitarist I was in my touring days. I used to complain about the “abysmal future for musicianship,” but you and Scott have proven me wrong in every way and excited me so much for the future of music. Thanks for that 👍

Gracias Tim, por no guardarte nada y compartir todo, sos lo más!

Thanks for slowing down Tim! Now i can finally see and hear every single note when i learn this riff on 0.25x🤧

literally obsessed with this song

he makes it look so easy

I love these unplugged versions

This is the key of C is actually really cool. I like that having a different key, can change a feeling of a song immensely

amazing as always!!

can't believe how different it sounds

I need one of those guitars. Tight work man.

Thank you for slowing it down Tim. Helps a lot for someone with amateur guitar skills and wanted to learn this song :D

Those dimples though!

Please release an instrumental version of the song

That he slows it down…that’s just straight out a nice thing to do.

Thank you for slowing it down. Really help me think if I should continue playing guitar

that riff feels like a Blunt hitting the hardest and smoothest at the same time

Amazing as always

It's 11 PM, I should be sleeping and I will have my literature test tom but Tim posted

Only a Genius can do this

You make this looks so effortless 🖤

So good the camera headbanged

Beautiful Riff

That face at the end... "Well, there's my good deed for the day."

Would love to hear full nylon versions of all the songs on the album 😫

I keep trying to play all of this on my acoustic with metal strings and doo doo action. Confidence fully depleted. Thanks, Timmy.

that lick at the end is such fire

0:18 0:32 I am just using this as a checkpoint

i feel happy everytime he post these

Timothy, you’ve gone and done it again. ❤️

Awesome You are amazing Bro

I watched this 10 times before I realised I’ve been pushing the repeat button to watch the video over and over.

Most people start off their "ABC's" with "A is for Apple, B is for banana, C is for cheese" but not Tim, oooooh no.

The whole vibe got so mellow when you slowed it down

The absolute look of sneering at peasants when he’s finished I love it

This young man got me to pick guitar back up. Grateful to be on the planet at the same time

dude, sometimes, we're just meant to be classical guitarists. it's a step one, step two process. it's like, if u want to become a great pop musician, learn how to play jazz first. become a classical guitarist at the same time. classical guitar technique is astounding. no one says u can't fuse the two together.

we need an instrumental version of this song

This took at least 100000 takes for him to upload this video with this quality

wow i’m enjoying all of these videos

Imagine hearing this riff in a medieval tavern 🍺

Praying for happiness for everyone. life is a balance act, for those that haven’t caught a break, I pray you get one soon. And if you don’t believe in prayer, drop everything and BALANCE it yourself. Don’t work all the time, find time for genuine happiness, your actions regardless of belief, are a form of prayer 🙏🏿

GOD BLESS YOU!!!

Tim knows the secret of being immortal. Figure that if you bring something great into this world, the next logical step really is to teach others how to do it you will always have life forever in everyone's hearts and minds

this guitar is literally my dream guitar, everything sounds so beatiful in it
