Instructional video on GOAT. Please let me know what you think, what you liked, what you didn't like. I'm hoping that my explanations make sense.

I do move quite fast because I figure this video is more reserved for intermediate-advanced players. Also, rewinding is really easy. I encourage you to play with playback speeds too.

By far, the most commonly asked question about this video is the tone, so here is a video about the tone used in this video.

this dude goes, "cool?" at 2:28 like he just taught you how to play smoke on the water. I couldnt play it cuz i was too busy laughing.

I stepped up my playing by learning this, I still can’t comprehend how people can make this stuff up. Thank you Jake.

[TheOneSekiro]

I'm here 5 months later HAHAH finally able to play it up to speed withthe original track, thanks a lot bro much love

[jacklovell]

This is the best guitar teacher on YouTube easily doesn't waste any time keep rockin

[WoWMinGM]

I’m learning the intro right now as a 6 month guitarist. First day and it’s really tricky but I feel like it’s within reach. It’s addictive to hit those harmonics. Thanks for the lesson!

[imafruckinwokstar]

This video is a god send. I just finished learning all the sections and I regret thinking this was one of the easier Polyphia songs. Thanks so much!

[JackBanning]

Never ever thought I could ever do anything like this and now I can play up to the last 8 seconds! My god dude, you have really done an amazing job with this tutorial. I'm gonna get this last phrase if it kills me i swear

[NigRod]

day two im three minutes in! i got this!

[johnford]

Gonna be corny as hell to say you’re the real Goat for taking the time to make this no bullshit, accurate tutorial. You’re the perfect example of the beauty of the internet. Can’t tell you how much appreciated this is. I would never attempt to learn this song, which will be a multi month commitment for me, if it wasn’t for your effort in making this, for free, for all of us.

Thank you so much.

The only YouTuber who is so patient to teach us all in a very slowly way 👏👏👏

[Slinging_INK]

2:06 this part is satan I can't get it right
The trick is to keep sliding my fingers hurt from tapping

[idk-wbpu]

This is why tabs are inferior, I'm learning goat way quicker than tabs would teach me

[abd_cheese]

Beautiful and straight to the point. I like that you dont treat us like beginners, like ive seen before on tutorials for advanced pieces

[prowala]

Excellent lesson. Thanks for not wasting time, it sets you apart from pretty much every other youtuber.

[drexdelatorre]

woah finally this is just too good man learning this was just fun all the way thru. All the best to you, thanks. Try some other songs from their new album, like saucy also a great one

[evictedpelican]

thx for this incredible tutorial, it took me maybe 2 months but I've finally got it down
I'm one of those guys who never really learned the basics and just jumped straight into songs, I just look at people play and copy it, maybe add a few notes and riffs of my own too, and sometimes I just play by ear so this kind of tutorial helped me big time
you're seriously underrated, keep going at it like this and you'll be huge one day
all the best to you mate

[AlexanderAndreassen]

Well, your video convinced me to learn more than the intro of the song, so I still ended up buying their tab pack. Comparing your video to the tab is going to make the whole process much easier.

[AlexSaheli]

Thank you. Finally came back to learn the whole song. Also thank you for making in quick

[Zionicbonds]

This is the best breakdown of the song on YouTube. As a complete noob, I didn’t think I could even play the first 3 seconds. I’m going to learn this, or die trying lols
