I like how said it’s important to be able to sing the solo. A lot of shredmasters turn playing guitar into a flex fest, but it really helps if they can do melodic too. That’s probably why Tim and Polyphia have gotten so big.

At first i started with learning different chords and power chords and then learned how to do artificial notes and things like that and triplets. I learned a lot of techniques you use in metal before I learned any specific song and then I started learning my favorite songs and it was much easier. Ive even started to write my own music but just for fun with my friends and we havent made a full song yet but its defintely very fun.

I think the “Boomer Bend” thing was more a confusion about what he was referring to, i.e. that all guitar bends are for boomers. How he uses it in actuality is pretty hilarious and appropriate.

On the question about making original music, I feel like that idea is just weird. EVERYTHING is derivative, your favorite old music sampled even older music, originality isn’t actually what people want. They want something they already like twisted in an interesting way.

I’m not a fan of polyphia and super complex rock and roll. But that is so interesting that he pointed to such a simple solo as to what a great solo is. Definitely gives me a new perspective on how someone who does go for the challenging music style approaches their music.

2:06 it’s a cool explanation about solos being memorable, that’s probably my favorite thing about Polyphia is all of their music “fits” the band, but it has such as wide range of sounds where some bands just only sound like one thing and are easy to forget, Polyphia sticks in the memory as being so unique each time

I wonder if Tim realizes he is a musical genius; he seems to be aware, but plays it cool. His brain sees music everywhere and even better his body is able to keep up.
He breaks down music so nonchalantly, like he is explaining 2+2 He doesn’t give cliche bs answers but explains very simple and concise.
Also he has this trendy air about him, but he is quite pleasant when he gets on real-talk mode. He is more approachable than apperances let on.
Once in a generation talent, Polyphia has made history and will go down in the Hall of Fame in my opinion.

I almost want to say this guy is humble in his approach, but that’s not it. On deeper thinking, I believe he’s more relatable. Humble would indicate that he is either unaware or dismissive of his own knowledge or ability, which is false. It appears he can still relate to those who are where he was several years ago. It’s as if he remembers what it was like to wonder how someone could be as much of a virtuoso as he is now. Great job.

Every time Tim needed to stop and explain what a certain musical term meant (harmonic minor, roots/fifths/octaves, arpeggios)–that’s all music theory. It’s a really useful shorthand to communicate with other musicians. I hope people don’t think it’s some elitist gate-keeping thing, and instead see it for the useful tool that it is!

something that he might be unaware of because hes been playing good, intonated guitars for years, most people are probably playing on a guitar that hasnt been intonated properly and the strings are an inch (not literally) off the fretboard thus making it way harder.

@artist91fb
November 25, 2023 at 6:44 pm
Saddles can be adjusted for intonation. So.. that is a non sequitur. If we spend lots of money on a guitar, many factors come into play. But one would assume that even a cheap guitar, when properly set up by a competent person will perform to a decent standard. Maybe upgrade the tuners and the nut, together with more precise saddles. But that’s just common sense. Love the style and the strong enby vibes here
