Polyphia goes nylon

[Lerxst]

The virtuosity of these guys is just off the charts

 

[Mark Wein]

This is what all of all of the guitar kids (that actually listen to guitar music) are into. I haven't heard the nylon string stuff yet.

 

[jelloman]

Impressive...I found the neck tattoo a bit of a distraction, but whatever...

 

[Andrew Sak]

That was great!

 

[Frank Prince]

Who knew that the future of electric guitar was an elf with a neck tattoo shredding on a nylon string electric.

J/K. Obviously, they are amazing players. This song shows strong elements of both hip-hop and the psuedo Brazilian smooth jazz guitar trend that was big in the 90s, which is an interesting mix.

 

[BlockInlay]

Very talented fellows. Can’t stand this though.

 

[Motorik]

Very talented fellows. Can’t stand this though.

Yep, that's how I feel.

I do like that the neck-tattoo guy provoked some deep soul-searching in the youtube guitar community with his offhand remark to Rick Beato about 'boomer bends'.

 

[Peen Simmons]

Yeah. Super talented. Sounds like sitting on hold for a particularly aggro customer care representative.

 

[Denverdave]

Way too busy in a lot of places for my tastes, but no denying the talent there and that it actually sounds like a song and not just a nylon jam fest.

Is this the Yngwie of the 2020's ?

Always visible tattoos have become a big thing with musicians, artists, and designers. It’s so they can’t fall back on an office job so they have to push themselves to succeed. Check out some of the horrible facial tattoos on young rappers today.

Anway, are they playing solidbodies with piezo pickups? Because they sound a lot better than Yngwie does when he plays with a pick through traditional acoustics.

A 3 minute track, and I was still bored as fuck. Not a single interesting idea in there.

They could open for Yngwie next Thursday.

His haircut is the real offender here

 

[micwalt]

This is 100 times more insufferable than even the most cheese-filled Yngwie track.

I put on my king crimson box set and fingerless gloves to post that
