Members AgentOrange Posted January 23, 2009 Members Share Posted January 23, 2009 Whats the best polymetric song to start with? Thing is, its mostly 4/4 but you have to learn how to count like they do if you cant get it right. Id start with Humilitive, great song, awesome riffs and sounds a lot harder than it is.

Members glenecho Posted January 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 23, 2009 wait what its just a half bend on the 5th fret of the b string I said the opposite of what I meant...right hand is the impossible part. Or maybe I'm a lefty...I don't know because this {censored}ing song has me so confused I can't even think straight now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AgentOrange Posted January 23, 2009 Members Share Posted January 23, 2009 Opposite problem here. The right hand part doesn't give me any problem. But the left hand part as I said, cannot be played by anyone. Meshuggah is using a trick with digital delay or something. It IS impossible. no way, which bit are you stuck on?

Members code_blue Posted January 23, 2009 Members Share Posted January 23, 2009 Tomas had to train for a few months to get it right. Obviously a monster like that could probably play it pretty well right away, but for the tightness they demand, it takes a little longer. I saw them do it live and it was flawless James I did see a video of him playing, only it was just a tad slower...not by much though. It is kind of funny that the song is like 7 minutes long too, just to add insult to injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeadNight Warrior Posted January 23, 2009 Members Share Posted January 23, 2009 what's the overall tuning...F Bb Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb? Jesus that's a lot of strings. Impossible riff is impossible. Yep, 8-strings (std 6 tuning plus two lower strings), dropped half a step. I tried to play it once for a laugh and my right hand just couldn't keep up. I honestly reckon a couple of years back I could have played it (only just though), but my picking's shithouse now. I need to pick up the slack and get back into practice (but playing with the Axe-FX is just too much fun ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thinkpad20 Posted January 23, 2009 Members Share Posted January 23, 2009 This is what you get for having spent so many years economy picking Howard... a weak right hand But seriously, it's a good exercise. The reason I'm pretty confident that I could do it is it's the kind of warmup exercise I do all the time. Alternations of 8th-notes and 16th-note groups, alternate picked... it's a good way to improve your right hand endurance, as you can kind of train yourself to stay relaxed for long periods of time. Just play it really friggin slow so you get the pattern in your muscle memory; then speed it up slowly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cap'n Ahole Posted January 23, 2009 Members Share Posted January 23, 2009 Downloaded it, gave it a listen.. sounds like some fast rhythmic stuff, & its sometimes tough to transition from one to the other.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hapless Posted January 23, 2009 Members Share Posted January 23, 2009 Ok, just tried it. My right forearm is burning like a mother{censored}er. I kept wanting to change the pattern, like my hand had a mind of it's own. weird. But that is a damn good right hand wid-mic exew-cise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
