    Definitely listen to more from them. Their probably most popular song is G.O.A.T., another absolute bangers are for example O.D., 40oz, The Worst, Goose etc. Basically everything from them is an extremely technical yet very melodic and catchy masterpiece. They're also about to drop a new album very soon so there's a lot to be looking forward to.

    The thing is, this is their first release in like 3 years, and they were already god-tier musicians even then. They have somehow gotten like CLEARLY better over the last few years somehow. If you have never played guitar before and started playing tomorrow, practicing 2-3 hours a day every single day, I bet it would take you like 5 years before you would be able to play this song. Being able to play pinch harmonics at all is a fairly advanced guitar technique, and these guys do them at light speed in the middle of runs that are already ridiculously difficult. Hybrid picking by itself is a very advanced technique, and these guys just do it like it's nothing. I'm over here playing smoke on the water and these guys are using techniques I can't even pronounce, let alone play.

    @@PalmelaHanderson pinch harmonics are a picking hand technique, natural harmonics are a fretting hand technique. Pinch harmonics are way harder than natural harmonics, especially to get them clean and consistent. Pinch harmonics only really sound like they should when there is enough distortion. They are the squeals you hear in metal and so on. Natural harmonics are done by just touching (not fretting) a string on the 4th 5th 7th 12th and higher frets. Pinch harmonics are done by picking in a way which makes your thumb slightly touch the string. Hope you know the difference now.

    Check out GOAT, Goose,OD, and 40 oz, and their entire New Levels, New Devils album. The song Playing God was inspired by the fans covering GOAT on acoustic. Tim Hensen (the guy with the neck tat) was so inspired by them he decided to make a song with the guitarists Tim and Scott Lepage playing on nylon strings called Playing God. Their songs in general are inspired by a variety of genres GOAT in particular was inspired by a Jaden Smith song. Probably the most technical and as you said talented musicians out their right now. It’s not just Tim (he is the most active on social media) but Scott Lepage, Clay Aeschlimann on drums, and Cloy Gober on bass are all technical monsters and true masters at their craft. Enjoy

    They’re playing the vocals on the guitar. For instance the beginning guitar solo when the beat drops in God ,is not a guitar solo! It’s simulating a🔥azz rapper coming out hard AF and dropping the first verse,slaying everyone! Their music is based on musicians writing ,composing and mixing all genres of music. Creating all the bass parts,vocal structures,guitar harmony’s ,hip hop rap and R&B vocals ,then playing them all at once, together on just a guitar done by one person ,or in this case ,individually buy each of the two guitar players. Polyphia simply mixes all genres of music ,their rock and rap harmonies and their vocal lyrics ,then all written,composed and played on a single guitar ,wether they’re live or in studio! It’s one man doing what a 5 piece band can barely all do together and it’s Ultra impressive to say least. Unequivocally this is next level complicated music with more emotion and structure than some give them credit for! The bottom line is It’s not just music but artistic writing and musical brilliance at some of it’s absolute finest and most genius! As a professional studio musician ,Drummer and lead guitarist I can say I both hear and feel the absolute magnificence of Polyphia! -Crisis

    I think of it this way ... While most artists write a song specifically with someone in mind using words to communicate their story, I feel like Polyphia are writing music that transcends barriers. Language, race, and culture are irrelevant to the humanity of the emotional response. This music allows each individual who hears it, the freedom to evoke a story that is uniquely personal, and yet undeniably universal. THAT IS POWERFUL STUFF !!! Potentially 'godlike'. This is the exact kind of thing we need to raise the consciousness of all humanity. Just thinking on paper here ... 💖💖💖 ... LOL ... The true test of what makes a song great, is the length of time it lives in your head after it's over ... WELL ... this song has taken up permanent residency. EVEN my regular earworms are feeling crowded out ... LOL ... Check out Tim Henson's "UNPLUGGED VERSION" ... the 'Playing God' play-through is even more impressive without all the flashy, cinematic distractions. That's what I think. Also Check out their song called G.O.A.T. from their last album. Welcome to the Polyphia Rabbit hole !!! Everything they do is different and ridiculously good. There's too many songs to mention. Happy Hunting.

    Please check out their song "Nasty". G.O.A.T IS a great song, but it's like telling someone to listen to "Freak on a Leash" if they never heard Korn, or "Enter Sandman" if they never heard Metalica. So please go off the grain and check it out. Most of the people requesting G.O.A.T and OD, I suspect are the same kind of people that would yell out 'Play Free Bird!" at every live show they've ever been to, and at least once a week visit a guitar shop,. Specifically so they can play "Stairway to Heaven" loud and incorrectly.
