Hi Docentino, I think you could say that my explanation is insufficient but then again I was only giving an introduction to the idea of musical textures. As for explaining what homophony means it is best to start with simple ideas like three notes playing the same rhythmic pattern and I doubt that you could come up with such an explanation seeing that you do not have musical experience.
The explanation of monophony is insufficient - just stating that playing three different notes in a chord is "all the same" (in what way)? I could come up with such explanation, and I'm not a musician.
Also: "two different melody lines playing at the same time" is a definition of Heterophony, isn't it? Polyhony would mean more than Two..
@shatteringglass100 - "This sucks. I still don't get it. I hate music" --- LOL!!!!! You really did make me laugh outloud...lol! And I'm in the school library.
I'm just trying to understand why would a person upload a video explaining the differences between homophony and polyphony, but not heterophony and polyphony. I would think those are MORE related to each other than the differences made in this video.
Thanks! Cleared things a little bit, but a big help nonetheless! :)

Good effort though. Cheers!

@Docentino Heterophony is related to polyphony but is not the same. It is when the same melody is played at the same time but with variants.

It is hard but there are great classical guitarists out there that can do it really well. Check out Andres Segovia

It's hard to show a good example of polyphonic on guitar I'd assume.
