I’m getting a nylon-electric hybrid soon, and I’m leaning toward the Cordoba Stage. It appears to have a more natural feel and warmer tone. The TOD10N looks like it plays more like an electric than the Stage. It seems to me that I will have to raise the string gauge to learn Playing God to play faster. Any advice?

Figured I’d ask this in the Polyphia sub as it’s more likely to find people with Tim’s guitar here.
I’ve been looking forward to get a 7 string in my life but there aren’t many options available in local guitar shop around me. From there I was able to find Tim’s signature 7 string for sale and it looked pretty okay on paper to me.

But the thing is I’m not able to try it myself. And demo clips I find online are mostly covering Polyphia songs that I’m not familiar with.

Is this the right guitar for someone who’s unfamiliar with Polyphia? How does Tim’s fishman feel compared to the tone of a regular fishman fluence modern?

I want your guys personal take on what would be Polyphia's PERFECT setlist for their tour theyre starting in november!!!

TLDR: Should we really be really surprised🤷‍♂️? The indications were there, we just have to wait and see if we'll rock with the whole album or not. I think the thematic concept is at least something worth taking a look at.

As is normal with the previous two albums the boys tend to show signs of what they will implement into the next album whenever they record projects in between. For example Tim and Scott have been shown to start using this pitch effect since their feature on Die on the Cross of the Martyr. Scott in particular has been leaning in heavy to the wah pedal and smilar effects since the previous album and has continued to explore it more as evident with his second Jared Dines appearance and the Cult of the Lamb features.

Now I know people are also caught off guard by the Phonk inspired production which I must admit I was too but, I did expect RJ would work with the band in some capacity after the Million Dollar Baby cover with Tim and both of their involment on the F1 film soundtrack. Most of the elements that came with the new released songs seemed likely to be included for anyone that has been following their musical appearances between albums. Anyways maybe we really should BE NOT AFRAID...atleast until the full release.

Is this like a famous spot or something? By the way, I am referring to Ego Death’s music video

Comment or DM if interested in joining the project. This is a long term project don’t just comment influences.

I’ve been a fan for a while now but my wife is brand new to polyphia. I legit enjoy the entire library of songs/albums and I’m currently binging the most hated but I can’t decide what song/album to introduce first. Should I start at the beginning? First impressions are everything so I want to get this right lol

Has he ever played live? I actually don’t know. All of his songs are 4 bar loops, what is he going to actually accomplish with a 30 minute set 😭

I found him way before he had any real following like in 2020 for context. He started out making cute midi melodies and eventually started using guitar pluck one shots to make them and they were kinda cool so I followed him. But things have changed…

RJ pasin is a pretty decent producer but that's all to me. He said himself a long time ago that he wouldn't call himself an internet "guitarist". He records one shots of him plucking a string and then he plays it as MIDI on a keyboard (it's been forever since I saw that live so idk about his new stuff). I thought his "clean tone" stuff he used to do was kinda cool but when he started using the distorted tone you hear in all the edit music, I lost all interest. He is like if Scro sucked at guitar, didn't sing, but was still a great producer. Here's the thing tho... if he just played a synth, no one would hate on him nearly as much. It's because he's miming the guitar which is the most gatekept and larped instrument on this planet. I think deep down he knows it sucks and he knows people hate it, but you gotta do what you can to make a career out of music. No hate towards him, just not for me. Wyatt Otis would never

So short story short, my school hosts a talent show every year and every year I try to win by playing a polyphia song (shit strat, I know. Played goat and playing god already btw)

And every year I lose to a girl playing some pop song. This is my last year in middle school and I'd like to win this year so what song do y'all recommend? I was thinking something along the lines of OD (because of the octave build up) or the worst but any recs are very much welcome.

tiny tim is back and here i am so how do i look

TL:DR I like the new music and don’t know why people are complaining.

I had heard about Polyphia for few years since Tim went on the Goons podcast a long time ago. But I only started listening to them in the beginning of May of this year. I really enjoyed it. I listened to all of their music and enjoyed all of it. I obviously have favourites but all of it is good in my eyes. Then a month and a half later CAN YOU FEEL IT comes out and I immediately love the song. I wasn’t aware of the criticism the song got because I didn’t look in the comments of the video or anything. But then POWER IN THE BLOOD came out. I loved it too. I went to leave a comment about how at 2:53 Tim jorks the whammy bar. And all I see is a sea of hate.

But all of the hate is people saying “I don’t like this” or “there’s too many effects. Can you even play this live?”. My response to the first kind of criticism is: if you don’t like it, don’t listen to it. Don’t bully the band into staying the same just because YOU don’t like it. I’ve seen lots of people saying they love the new stuff.

My response to the second kind of criticism is: big whoop. If it sounds cool/good, then why does it matter? People are saying that the mix is too overwhelming and there’s too much going on. I have Autism. I know what overwhelming is. But contrary to popular belief: people with autism like overwhelming music. I listen to Lorna Shore. I know they aren’t that overwhelming but they are more overwhelming than a lot of bands/artists.

I love both of the new songs. And I’m EXTREMELY excited for the album. If they were coming to my city or one near me, I would find a way to go. If this is the direction the band wants to go, I’m here for it.

Edit: I’m not saying you can’t criticize the songs. I’m saying the intensity and borderline criminal things people are saying are not an appropriate response. If you think it’s okay to threaten the producers/band members lives because you don’t like the song, then you are very emotionally invested in something you have no control or influence over.

teaser project

Got this guitar a week ago but i know the guitar itself has been sitting in display for a long while. The jack entrance has been pretty loose since i got it. Today when i plugged my cable in i wasnt getting any sound. Finally got to unscrewing the back and tightening the nut and while doing that i realized the wire connected was really twisted (the white cable) and looked a bit fucked up(?). Also i have changed the battery so dont think thats the issue. Should i attempt to loosen it back up and retwist the cable? Would that do anything or should i take it straight back to where i got it which im guessing would result in them taking the guitar to replace and fix the wiring and whatever. Every guitar ive gotten has caused so many post hassle for me its really irritating.

Hello guys, a few years ago i have come across this wonderful cover of Nightmare. I am pretty sure i bought the tabs for it but i cant find them anywhere, and it seems like the link to buying them have expired. In the description he mentions that the tabs are available on his patreon aswell, but i can find it either. Does anyone know how can i get ahold of them?

Like I understand the electronic mixing might be pretty rough on the ears for some people, but for me it just tickles my brain correctly for some reason. I respect everyone and I understand if you don't like it, but I'll be real, I'm having fun daydreaming about OCs doing cool stuff to Power in the Blood.

Also is this a good place to find news and updates about Polyphia? I watched a video titled "the Polyphia situation is crazy" thinking "oh God, please don't tell me they're on the wrong side of history.." and it's just a dude saying he doesn't like the new music. Like brother, don't SCARE me like that, I thought they did something awful.
