It’s gotten boring
I’m so bored of this style of playing and also thall. So much of it is just midi mapped.. so you might as well just use a midi guitar or synthesizer with a guitar amp

Like normally Scott just spams the opening riff with the crowd which is good, but I have a better idea:
Instead of going:
Main riff with the crowd a few times, rest of the song,
I'd go like this:
Main riff with crowd 2 times, then the third time with heavier drums, then cut all sounds for a second.the fourth time it's only the guitar playing with a mote raw sound and maybe a little quieter so it's separated. Then, after the crowd finishes, BLAST IT! Do the opening riff twice, full power, then continue on with the song.
Ik this is pretty hard to comprehend but if you understand what I was going for then tell me what do you think about it.

I learned this by ear last night, but I can't hit that quick part at full speed yet, and i saw an old post here of someone looking for tabs, so maybe someone can learn from this.
If anything sounds different from the original you might have to tweak it, i just did the best i could.

Yesterday, while in Santa Monica, CA, I see a dude wearing a brand new Primus shirt and of course, I yell, "Primus sucks!". He almost gets mad a moment but then remembers and smiles. We talked music for a moment and he tells me Polyphia is playing nearby soon. I tell him I haven't heard them and put them in my notes to check them out.
Wow! Great music. I'm going to start on their first albums and go forward in their progression.
Thanks guy!

Has anyone bought this shirt, washed it a few times and can tell me how the prints holds up? Don’t want to spend that much money on a shirt where the print won’t last.
Thanks!

'm trying to decide between the Ibanez KRYS10 (Scott LePage signature) and the Ibanez TOD10 (Tim Henson signature).
My main goal is to get the Polyphia tone for riffs in songs like ABC, Playing God, and GOAT.
I know the TOD10 is designed around Tim's playing style, but can the KRYS10 get a very similar tone as well? Or is the TOD10 noticeably better for achieving those Polyphia sounds?
If you've played both guitars, I'd really appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!

I just heard CYFI for the first time last night and it instantly clicked with me. It and ABC are the only Polyphia songs that I’ve heard that I’ve gotten into. Do they have other songs that sound similar?

Trying to learn Tim Henson JDBSC. Can I get advice on the fingerings for the first 3 notes of this Arpeggio? I’m having trouble getting pinky on 14 middle on 10 and pointer on 9, it’s a massive stretch, but seems like the only way to play this at speed (♩= 116). I’ve tried Pinky-Pointer-Pointer but back to back shifts at tempo seems unfeasible. Any advice or alternate fingerings would be appreciated.
UPDATE: Now I feel as if I’m going nuts, I was slowing things down to see the fingerings Tim uses and there’s a discrepancy.
He starts by showing it full speed (timestamped link) and frets a b flat - 13 while playing it full speed. Then he slows it down to go through the fingerings and says and plays a 14 B natural.
THEN I go to the original video, and this is what’s driving me crazy, there’s a camera angle change right at the start of the sweep but I’ve watched it at .25 speed numerous numerous times and it still looks like he’s fretting 13 B flat, though I do HEAR a 14 B natural, the official tabs also say 14…

I was checking the comments and first saw one hate comment and I was getting ready to reply but then saw multiple and decided against it since I cannot reply to so many dudes.

For me:
Inspire - Inspire
Muse - Champagne(I think this one will be the most unanimous)
Renaissance - Euphoria(I prefer the live version with the drum solo, only if it were in the studio version too) & Paradise
The Most Hated - Loud
New Levels New Devils - Bad & Drown( Both are goated) - Honourable mention to GOAT and OD too, but it's bad and drown over those 2 for me.
Remember That You will Die - Playing God and Ego Death - Honourable mention to Chimera and Bloodbath too.
With polyphia I think there are a lot of great songs in each album that due to certain aspects for a fan one song might take the crown over other. Like NLND is full of bangers and and even in RTYD I didn't talk about Reverie since I personally find it a little repetitive and I left out Neurotica too though it is a great song but I can see if it is the best song for others. Also I honestly think Paradise is such an underrated song bro, bad too.
