You’re re-writing history and skipping a decade of tech metal development. Tech, prog and hardcore bands have essentially been creating their own sound in the last 2 decades. While Meshuggah is influential, Bleed came along after an already long history of songwriting. Destroy. Erase. Improve has had more influence on genre than anything else they’ve released. Bleed is popular NOW. But 12 years ago when I posted this video, no one really cared. Just progheads.

And how many people cared isn't a factor either way; there are so many innovative bands that nobody cared about at the time when they were making music, but they were still the progenitors because they gained recognition over time.

"Only wrist" is literally the only possible way to do it. My picking technique is quite different compared to these guys, but when you (attempt to) play "Bleed", you have to do it their way. Otherwise it's literally impossible to pick up that much speed in that short amount of time.

he's also playing a lot lighter than most people realize. Learning this song also sort of forced me into adopting Frederik's "floating" pick-hand posture/technique...I used to play more like Marten where I had the middle, ring and pinky fingers extended outwards and making contact with either the strings or body of the guitar depending. It only took maybe a day or two to get used to keeping my hand in more of a fist, but admittedly it felt extremely awkward and out of control at first. It's much more precise and allows me to play faster without a doubt.

1:35 this pattern is easily the hardest part of the song. It’s so easy to get lost in that pattern and lose where you are in it. It’s even harder after the solo, where the pattern starts midway into it. Once you get the main strumming pattern and endurance for the opening riff, you will feel like a god, only for the Nordic gods to come and smack you for your pride because you have another 6 minutes of odd patterns to deal with. However, learning Bleed is one of my proudest guitar achievements

also Brandon Bruce - it's because they've aged well. some of the sickest bands a decade or two ago are completely irrelevant now, even bands still touring and releasing music. seems like musicians have a tendency to emulate the sound/style that culminated in their success or are just reluctant to make any dramatic changes to their sound because there's like a good like 30% of people who will throw a tantrum because they're not writing music that sounds exactly the same as all of their other music lol. Bring Me the Horizon comes to mind. folks went mental when Sykes started singing and their style got a little less heavy. same with Veil of Maya, there's a new vocalist or whatever on their newer album. the one with all the Game of Thrones references in the song titles lol. dude's cleans are crazy awesome, but there were still a handful of clowns still started crying about them trying new shit. Meshuggah is the kind of band that you can hear a distinct progression of sound/style throughout all of their albums and it's keeping people interested. Dir en Grey is the same way, almost every album they release is different from the last. still filling stadiums and shit. they're like Japan's version of Slipknot in terms of popularity.

@ARebuffi It's called a herta, from a drummer perspective. In 4/4, it's two 16th notes and two 8th notes repeating over and over again, which really makes it 3/4 if it was continuous. But Meshuggah are the masters of polyrhythms. Hertas are really fun in 12/8 as well, because the two 16ths + two 8ths = three 8th notes, so you can fit hertas into a measure. Bleed is just a glorified rhythm exercise like he says.

when people start getting exhausted, they have a tendency to tense up and clutch their picks harder to make smaller and more controlled movements and try to conserve as much effort as possible, but it's counterproductive. the muscles in your forearms that start hurting after a while are the same muscles responsible for articulating your fingers, so when you start squeezing the pick, you immediately start wasting effort. it's more or less the same story with forcing our arm to make smaller movements, you unnecessarily waste effort trying to keep your hand/fingers from moving too much. try to relax. it's easier said than done and it's a hard habit to break, but you'll notice a difference in endurance pretty quickly. it'll still hurt like a bitch for a while, but the more you power through it, the easier it gets the next time you play it. i've been using the song as an exercise for a couple of years now and it still makes a motherfucker sore.

The hard part isn't necessarily the speed (which is very difficult, dont get me wrong), it's the time signature and keeping it at that time signature, then switching to a different time signature. Meshuggah uses odd timings. And many of their songs have multiple time signatures at one time.

badass awesome song

Thordendal is crazy. No doubt about it \m/

Their playing is some of the most robotic I have ever seen. And I mean that in a good way. Mechanical precision, almost like binary code.

does it djent?

yea lmfao. - Does periphery Meshuggah? FUCK NO.

RHYTHM OVER EVERYTHING BRUH!!

its called variety... if youve ever played an 8 string, its completely different to a 6 or even a 7... it takes skill, and theseguys not only pull it of brilliantly but write some amazing riffs to.. kick ass video :)

Hilarious! I'm so glad you pointed that out; otherwise I would've never noticed.

Fredrik is a machine.

I can't even understand how he plays it so easily without any serious movements in this arm. Amazing

It's a basic gallop pattern. I don't understand why people think this is so amazing.

@@officialmetalwill It's amazing because achieving consistency at such speed is a lot of work.

@@officialmetalwill This is not a basic gallop pattern. A basic gallop pattern consists of three notes (16/16/8). There are four notes in this riff (16/16/8/8) and the one "added" at the end of every gallop is played with an upstroke. So yes, playing that for seven minutes (and there are further variations of it as the song progresses) with precision, in time, at that tempo and together with other guitars and drums (which have their own unique pattern with cymbals, that do not "match" the guitar riff for majority of the time) is really, really amazing.

you're absolutely right, but what makes this interesting, is that in most songs eventually they will start playing in the same signature, this is not the case here. Amazing.

It's definitely beyond my guitar playing capabilities. And it does look hard. However I look at it and go, I MIGHT be able to play that with enough practice. On the other hand I watch, listen and observe Haakes drumming and just shake my head in bewilderment with the easy acceptance that never could I ever replicate that.

Right! Absolutely no unnecessary movement.

this is indeed a rhythmic exercise

Very nice.
