I find Ego Death to be an absolute masterpiece. Rarely has a single song kept me this fascinated to listen to over months and months. Glad you enjoyed as well!

The guitarist you're referring to is Tim Henson. The other guitarist is Scott LePage. They're both good. Edit: Steve Vai at the end.

I love it when the older generation respects and admires the talent of our newer generation instead of just making bitter remarks and hating. I love your videos and i have lots of respect for you

The structure of a good chunk of Polyphia’s music is based on the tried and true Theme and Variation. The theme is established, then the exposition, return to theme, development, etc. I really love how they just take a catchy line, or a traditional descending line or dirge type sound, and then just expand on the idea, inject other concepts but tie it all back into the primary core theme. It’s applying the old baroque and renaissance musical concepts to modern genre and tonality. That’s probably why I enjoy their music so much. That along with the evident mastery of their craft and overall musicianship.

Ive heard this song many times but I feel like I got a lot from your input, great video!

Love your short and honest reaction to their songs, subbing for when you react their next song haha

Your breakdowns are very refreshing and enjoyable. This band in particular... kind of requires studio headphones, though. The ipad doesn't do them justice and you'll be able to catch those really tricky shifts in intonation. In particular in this video... Scottie's really wild arpeggiated fills. Glad to hear you'll be using a monitor in the future and thanks for the solid watch.

I'm really enjoying your videos, and I'm glad you're using ideas from comments to improve the productuon quality. You have so much knowledge about guitars, and I hope for many more videos in the future!

I wish my dad was still alive to see and hear these guys’ music. I think he’d have enjoyed the hell out of it. He loved all kinds of music and you could catch him listening to just about anything on any given day, rather than just a genre or two. With all the influences and sounds that these guys incorporate I think he’d have really loved what they do.

Love how you breakdown the music, keep up the great work!

I looooove your reactions! So authentic and knowledgeable 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

As you're already showing us the screen recording, you can move the ipad to a more confortable position so you doesnt need o hold it (and keep it facing the camera hahaha lil tip for helping you make a better content!!)

great reaction unexpectedly comedic. i hope one day when you grow up you will be able to play like them

i really enjoy these reactions! keep it up man!

dude somebody needs to get this man a computer to react on, give him his hands back!

I have to say your demeanor and commentary are great, I’ve been enjoying your videos but holding an ipad to do reviews is lessening the quality of your content . Otherwise your studio and camera set up look great, consider maybe setting up screen in front of you like most KZfaqrs.

He brought up instrument solos. He needs to react to GOAT.

Love these videos - very interesting to watch. Just a thought - wouldn't it be better to use some headphones or a decent speaker set up? At the end of the day, of course use whatever you prefer, but I can't help but feel like you'll miss countless intricacies in the music across these videos when using speakers from an iPad.

Great video breakdowns but Vai was employing joint shifting rather than harmonics. Subbed ☮️

Yes, I think a neck tattoo will help to basically nail it

If you would like to react to an artist you might not have heard of before, I recommend Aesthetic Perfection with Gods & Gold!

The weird iPad angle is just so uncomfortable looking. Why wouldn't you just watch it on a proper monitor? Very very odd choice.

If the drummer wanted a solo, I'm sure he'd get one - but he just doesn't.

Give this man a laptop and some nice headphones. An enjoyable reaction otherwise

all guitarists can ever focus on is chord progression...give it a break

My god your 65? I thought you were at most 50. Teach us your secrets, I guess appreciate & enjoy life, music, play guitar or another instrument & be laid back, maybe smoke some bud somewhere in there too. Yeah blah blah eat healthy too
