    The Latin vibe I get from this song is sooo strong like an almost Bossa Nova-esque style and then the infusion of the Jazz chords in the bridge was so tasteful. Polyphia are honestly the complete package with so much variety to their sound. Genuinely unbelievable talent.
  • @ilovedeftones07
    It's crazy to think this song was played on a Nylon string guitar like for the harmonics to ring like that is insane
  • @dirtona6579
    “Have they always had this much hair?” My man asking the real questions 😂
  • @adecree
    Tim's technique is so organic with his personality he can say everything he needs to through his guitar
  • @diamonddudeygo
    As a Spaniard I would be remiss not to point out the incredible Flamenco influences this song has. It's like they took a little bit of a lot of genres and made it entirely theirs. Polyphia are on a level of their own and their craftsmanship and writing are really something else.
  • My friend’s brother knows the guys in Polyphia and I’ve only heard that they’re some of the nicest guys in the modern prog scene.
  • @BarstucksCoffee
    Animals as Leaders' "Brain Dance" needs to make its way next at some point after this. Another track from a Metal band that uses nylon guitars in a fantastic way and mixing it in with some heavy and chunky riffs
  • @unbounder
    Someone described this song to me today as "Flamenco Metal". Thought you might like that one.
  • @jpados
    i could be wrong but i believe the initial inspiration behind this song came from Tim watching others cover his songs, he was absolutely blown away by the acoustic cover of nightmare by Evgen Tsibulin.
  • @RaymondBCrisp
    This is a breath of fresh air to those of us who appreciate virtuosic music. I grew up on Rush, Yes, and ELP, etc., so this level of musicianship is what I look for when I seek out new groups to listen to.
  • @moviebad109
    I’m pretty much self taught in guitar. I’ll be honest, I wish I’d had someone like you tell me just to take it slow and get good with repetition and then clock up the speed. Learning hybrid picking has been SO much easier just taking it slow and not trying to dive in at 120 bpm :P
  • @eternity9099
    The opening riff reminds me of a way more complex version of Hotel California. It’s weird cuz you have a Hotel California license plate on your wall.
  • @MalformedNPC
    I've been to your channel before while watching Lawrence videos but the Dance Gavin Dance and Polyphia ones got me to subscribe recently. Love your musical insight and just how damn much you get into the music.
  • @OfficialTygo
    best thing about the reaction is you playing along on the keys and it sounding pretty good. usually when reactors play along it sounds weird
  • Great reaction! For a technical sound on the level of polyphia with more flamenco inspiration, I recommend Syncatto's Coloratura album, particularly the opening track "Coco".
  • I love how deep into the song you go, Other people just say what they see, but as you are like a real professional. You can really deconstruct and appreciate the song with a real good criteria, I love it
  • @zaine757
    I saw them live with Dance Gavin Dance last fall, and they were absolutely amazing!
  • FINALLYYYYYY I HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE IT DROPPED FOR YOU TO REACT!!!
