Imagine a Renaissance mosh pit, ten times as brutal, but no distortion. Heck yes

[juliasanne]

Imagine being lost in a huge dark castle and then suddently you hear this playing, you look and in the corner sits that vampire looking at you while playing this👁👁

[noadrgon]

I audibly yelled "HUH?" when this popped in my feed. Awesome cover, Brandon! Let's bring Polyphia into Bardcore

[manuelfigueiredo]

“We don’t need a bard on our dnd campaign.”

The bard:

[NicohKwan]

When you’ve gotta woo a chambermaid at 7:59pm but have a math rock gig at 8:00pm

[afranks]

And the kingdom was shocked for no one in the royal court had ever had their face melted by a lutist before. Sadly he was accused of witchcraft and put to the stake.

[brianh]

Polyphia: Check out our new tune.
Brandon: Hold my mead.

[zedmelon]

As a musician, I found the bass note at 0:57 highly satisfying as the harbinger of the next section.
As a tech guy, I enjoyed how the F# (46.25 Hz?) oscillating string strobes with the frames per second of the video, making it _look like_ it's vibrating at 3 or 4 Hz.

Great performance!
Engaging video editing too!

When Polyphia play this, it feels like they're playing it at the edge of human capability. When Brandon plays it, you feel like it's just another tuesday.

Just when I thought playing it on guitar is near impossible, this man comes out with a FREAKING LUTE COVER

[davidg]

In a world of endless Polyphia covers this one stands out as exceptional. You made it sound like it was always intended to be a lute piece.
Regardless of what one might think of their music for just listening to, it is absolutely great finger practice.

[moatabbx]

I was honestly too stunned to speak when I first saw this pop up! This is absolutely astounding, such a well done job. The melody is amazingly played, all the little extra flavors you put in was great! Much love from Sweden<33

[hfreed]

The crossover I didn't know I needed.

Needed very badly apparently, frikin' great

[educostanzo]

That bass note at the 1min mark djented me to outer space.

[capitantilapia]

Man, what is even this? My God, Brandon, you're a machine. And the vampiric vibe they putted on this song it's fully expressed here. Perfect.

[anna_young]

This is SUPER cool, holy shit! Would love it if you did more covers like this!

[lordlemmingman]

Awesome! Love this concept! I really wanna see Polyphia react to this lol

[raadsharar]

My happiness is immeasurable, and my day is made

[colosalblack]

This shows just how goodPolyphia's compositions are and how much of a legend Brandon is for aranging and playing this on the Lute. Epic!

[joshbooth]

Awww you stopped too soon! I wanted to hear your take on the "jazzy" part of the song. LOL Thanks for this Brandon, it's amazing!!! You are amazing.
