Tim's probably gonna do a unplugged version of every upcoming pieces and it's going to be freaking nuts. Can't wait for the other pieces to release

loving these unplugged playthroughs!!

that shoulder pull at 2:19 was just Tim reloading his hands

This band has single handedly, overnight, reignited my passion for music. I literally hadn't enjoyed listening to music for the last 3 or so years. I thought it was dead and buried. And hearing, "Playing God" for the first time literally made me listen to all of their published music over the course of a day and a half. I've been humming, singing in my head, etc. Shit is fucking gas, thanks Tim, Scott, Clay and Clay. You guys slap harder than a vengeful ex lover.

I know that this is out of left field, but just keep this in the back of your mind since I know there are going to be people that say that Tim's guitar playing abilities are so intimidating that it makes you want to stop, or what have you. Guitarists of varying experience levels, Tim more than likely did several takes to get this absolutely perfect. Tim here is absolutely an amazing guitarist, without a doubt. I will not deny that he has prowess... But! Please don't put yourselves down because you saw his best take. We need to remember that no guitarist gets everything right the first time. It takes a pretty decent amount of time to be able to get the right take. Whether it be you, me, Tim, Guthrie Govan, or whomever. No one is perfect the first time. You'll get there, just keep practicing and playing and having fun. This isn't a competition. Music isn't a competition. You're awesome. Just keep playing.

I know you said it's not ready yet, but we NEED a studio tour.

What really hooked me on this track is the way the riffs almost come across with the cadence of vocals. I can imagine lyrics to the pitch and pace of the guitar work so easily. The thing that keeps me coming back for every release is that they manage to have a "sound", but it's also always radically different. How does that even happen?!

It’s amazing how Wynona Ryder never seems to age.

I wonder what Tim from Polyphia would think about this cover

I always love see Tim play unplugged polyphia songs.

3:00 I just love how he throws the pick after finishing, face filled with sass; like "Yes Bitch, one take". This guy is miles ahead of us.

Idk, but if it weren't for this man and his band I probably would have stopped playing guitar, as I got tired of metal, and these guy's music brought new light to me and my instrument, going on 3 three years playing, still have a lot to learn but I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. THANK YOU POLYPHIA FOR INSPIRING ME TO CONTINUE!!!!

I swear tim gets better with every song

Amazing how clean it is even on acoustic

tim is like an anime character with character development. his training story arc is his practice sessions. instead of improving every battle , he keeps improving every song they make. not only him but the rest of the band

This song keeps growing on me. Liked it the first time but you rrally appreciate it the more you listen and these acoustic versions bring out all the little nuances. Awesome job all of you! And Tim ye... perfect as usual!

2:35 the next 5 seconds of this little section is so underrated, I'm glad to hear it in more detail

I just found this band a month ago and I don’t think I have gone a day without playing atleast on track since. This unplugged cut was pleasing to my soul. Just Damn.

playing this on a nylon is fucking insane

We need a full mix acoustic version!!!

Would love to see them redo "O'D." in this style of playing with these guitars, would be absolutely insane

2:30 to the end is absolutely beautiful.

Another great thing about Polyphia is, once they drop the new one, they also drop 3-4 playthroughs soon so that we can enjoy the song 3-4X more and better

his style is so mind blowing.

The panning of the bass at around 0:56, was a really nice touch. I like that.

This guy is gonna be the hardest stuff for decades. This bring back the days whenever guitar wanted to learn dave matthews. Love it bro!!

I just admire that you’re still learning and practicing new things hard everyday. Truly inspirational.

Following These unplugged Playthrough a along with the tabs makes it easier to fix easy mistakes you mishear when listening to the fully mixed song. Seeing you and hearing the specific notes and flow makes it way easier to learn

Tim’s story is so good, his mom was very strict wanted him to play violin but he wanted to play guitar, hanging out with a fun bad crew at school, but still had that passion but for a different type of sound, that’s wild to me. Not to mention bro is so well disciplined he taught himself software engineering and landed a job, fuck this man is not only inspiring me in music but in life thank you Tim, just went to your concert in Houston a few weeks ago we love you man

The part at 1:06 where the acoustic tone really rings sounds so goooood Could get addicted to hearing that mixed in to the usual electric stuff

The whole song is a masterpiece but the second build at 2:10 is insane 💯

Playing God aside, this song is actually pretty cool acoustic. This makes me think that a separate acoustic EP or maybe a deluxe edition album with acoustic versions of the songs would be really cool to have. Plus, I really want to see how Scottie would re-do his solo in this song for an acoustic studio version.

Greatest thing about being a polyphia fan: been listening to their music since like 2017 and found out yesterday my mom not only listens to them but has seen them 2 times already lmao she’s in her 50s glad to know where my music appreciation comes from. Definitely trying to see them live with her as a surprise present next time they come by nj/ny

I’m so addicted to your unplugged version. So satisfying

Love the arpeggios into the harmonics

One the most talented and knowledgeable guitarists I've ever seen!

Amazing playing as usual. It is a joy to watch and listen to Tim's compositions. His precision and skill is off the charts. His playing also has a lot of expression. Outstanding performance.

I like how at 0:49 he plays the solo with higher notes but then transitions farther up the neck to get a deeper and different sound, it sounds amazing. That’s what’s sick about this song is that Tim and Scott at times play the same thing but at different parts of the neck which makes learning this fun. Legends. Also…thanks for putting both parts side by side on the TAB…amazing

A MUSICAL GENIUS! LOVE his mindset of NOT in timing rhythm patterns and syncopation. I’m a drummer and I just LOVE his grooves! I’m in COMPLETE AMAZEMENT! BLOWN AWAY! He has an EXTREMELY EXTRAORDINARY GIFT at such a young age! Play on bro, play on. LOVE your content. IM HOOKED!

Crazy how good this kid is. He does things NO ONE else does.

The Pick drop at the end equivalent to a Mic drop. Flawless execution as always!

Ive seen this song getting some hate. I don’t know how. This song is so uplifting and enjoyable. This unplugged version is amazing.

Ive been listening to this on repeat for an hour and i still cant get enough , i dont play any instruments but i always dream of being able to play like Tim

He did NOT look happy after that lol

Somehow this unplugged version shreds harder than electric... can't wait for you boys new album Tim, already know it's gunna be straight fire

I really like the unplugged versions too. Would be awesome to see whole records recorded like this. Not like 100% acoustic, this way sounds perfect

something very satisfying about the fact that he sits like a classical guitarist

THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO IN 2022 IN THIS WORLD... YOU HAVE MADE OLD PEOPLE RESPECT THE NEW YOUNG GENERATION

I'm loving this whole unplugged series, hopefully you cover all the songs on the album

Сколько же труда стоит за этой чудесной лёгкой игрой!) Тим! Спасибо!)🙏💕

I’m just so excited when I watch you play! Always a joy to see that level of musicianship and still every purpose of your heart comes through on that fretboard of yours, Wow!

One of very favorite parts of this awesome song is in the "outro",(at 2:32) if that's even the term. If you listen to the album version of this song, it is easy to initially miss how all those light, glittery notes supporting those last few measures are anything but an afterthought. The melody in these last few measures (?) is actually quite simple, but when you see him playing it here acoustically, you can begin to appreciate EVERYTHING (!) else he is doing aside from just strumming the melody!! It's unprecedented. (Please forgive my semi-ignorance of correct musical terms - but you get the idea)

Playing with feeling is everything. That's what really sells a beautiful piece of music. Tim in his flow state. ☺

I started learning an instrument because of you guys. Take care. One day I will reach your level

Unrelated, that room is aesthetic af 😭🖤🖤

I like that I looked up neurotica covers and this was one of the first videos

These unplugged videos get me so motivated and excited to pick up my guitar.

Hell yeah, it's wild how awesome each of these songs translates to acoustic

So glad we can hear all these masterpieces unplugged, loving this series!!

Conheci esse estilo musical já poucos dias. Amando ❤️. Agora, além de Tim Henson também ouço Ichika Nito, Marcin e é claro: Polyphia ❤️

Love this...and those beautiful axes in the official video!

Those unplugged playthroughs are the best kinds of flex.

0:52-1:09 is sooooo good

it is an absolute pleasure to watch you play unplugged Tim!

This definitely needs to be a series, love it!

I never get tired watching this

i love your music absolutely so much! it puts me in a better place in my head and my heart, please never stop making music like this! thank you for your music its so much appreciated and loved

loooove the sounds :) hearing the unplugged versions is awesome

I don't even play guitar no more... How much colorful can you be in a single song!!!!!! What a tube!!!!!!!🤯

Absolutely loved the neurotica drop, hope to here way more very soon🎸

Lovin’ the melodies! They remind me at times of runs that would fit in RnB tunes. Big fan. Mad skills 🙏🏽

I'm back! Lol. And drunk too!! I just wanted to thank Tim for taking the time to make this video. I watch this one most frequently and I love the way the song sounds and feels with that guitar. It's just a great feeling. Cheers! 🍺

Never in my life have i had a room as clean as yours is in that video. Also, you are setting new standards for the music i listen to, and it is making it harder to appreciate the simpler musicians. you are an insiration.

I hope you know just how amazing you are. I imagine when you’re at the top it’s hard to realize it. You’re perfect. You’re an inspiration to so many. Thank you.

Holy moly this is on another universe level, I been playing over 30 years and when I watch Tim play I just put my guitar down and listen, he’s unbelievable!!!

the absolute apex of guitar playing.

Tim bro you’ve had a mad rockstar glow up lately good job man

Im a piano player and prefer in general this instrument more, but the diversity and creativity you are able to express with the guitar brings me to want to learn it. just impressive how ease you make it look. Incredible precision.

I hardly ever came across any artist sharing so much information and knowledge about their work as you do. In the name of every musician out there looking for advice, inspiration or even for a challenge: Thank you!

I’ve been waiting to see that guitar again and this beautiful piece of a person😭

Hard to believe what I'm watching, honestly

I love the sound of his guitar. I mean I’m sure it wouldn’t sound like that if I was playing it but it compliments his style very well.

Its so freaking amazing how well he can compose! Absolutely love the sound!

Wow, just wow. Hearing the timbres you coax out of an acoustic is impressive. Your harmonic composition and technique are so dynamic it almost sounds like you're changing instruments. Really really nice.

Tim, the Universe is literally a better place because you exist. You have a style and a touch I've never seen, snowballed by surgical precision on every note. Every single note is audible and watching you play is hypnotizing. I literally cannot quantify words to describe how ingenious your approach to music theory actually is. I'm gonna absolutely love watching and listening to your music for as long as I'm able.

Who else is still coming back to keep watching this master class from Tim? 2023

You're so talented bro, you're the Goat in my opinion man, tons of respect

its so clean .amazing

i swear.... your head swinging is iconic lol

I have to stop in the middle to drop some praises. The amount of talent we got here is insanely huge people, sh*ttttt. Hand down cause we’re living in the best era and there will be not another Tim again. Thnks god!!!

I really love These unplugged play throughs cause they have really helped me with learning the songs because the sounds and finger placements come out clearer

Absolutely love the way this sounds on nylon!

Love the new stuff Tim🔥🔥🔥❤️‍🔥

My favorite cut from the album. So sick.

this video gives me a renewed sense of life and purpose, bro givin me lil cherub energy cuz i feel like im in heaven no lie

Everything is so awesome and the studio room or whatever also looks so damn slick i love it. Keep doing what you do best Tim!

Tim, I can’t wait to meet you at the seattle show meet and greet. You are my hero

Their songs just sends tingles into my brain

It's so beautiful like this wow

just frickin amazing...
