Yeah, from the same book called "Learn how to shred in 1 hour".

Seriously, there's no "trick" to it, just start by tabbing easy stuff, and move on to harder stuff when you feel you can pull it off. Mitch knows more than anyone, but from my experience, i've only gotten better by starting with the easy stuff.

Simple as that eh? Cheers.

Earmaster Pro. Train an hour a day. That is all.

yeah i can kinda tab small things it's just i want to learn stuff like for example i play a note and would like to know like what notes might go after instead of just the usual guessing i want to make an educated guess not just hit every note until i find the right one if that makes any sense. Kinda like improvising, i guess i just need to learn more scales!

 

[The Emptier]

yeah scales and how they all relate etc. like

 

[inhe]

It's pretty useless spending your time memorizing scale patterns for tabbing songs, learn to sing major and minor first of all, so you know how they sound, and then try to learn the intervals between all the notes.

 

[alexi_laiho_GuitarGod]

cool thanks!

and if you need any help, feel free to post questions and some of us here can help you with theory stuff. I actually enjoy the theory stuff altho my memory on it is not too fresh cuz I haven't done anything for about a month. but i'll do my best to help if you need it.

If COB came to that, I would hang myself

For the record, Sikth > Messuggah

No way, gtfo.

fuck yes. Every Meshuggah album is amazing! I wonder how they are gonna play that machine gun riff in Bleed live. My arm dies after 10 seconds of it

I wanna see it too. It's so hard, that they're even started a MySpace competition where you have to record a video of you playing it, and the best person gets a phonecall from Hakke with a congrats and signed merch.

But is that really worth hours of intense pain?

that would be killer but first he must have Lundgren pickups and he would need to change to 8 string guitars or atleast to drop F# and scoop the basses out of his sound abit
THAT WOULD BE FUCKING INSANE SOUND i dig it

I think they're using 8's tuned to F.

New Alexi's instructional DVD! Buy it for 49.99 and learn some classic (ie:boring) alexi's stuffs such as : diminished arpeggios, pentatonic runs, E-minor tapped arpeggios and scale runs that you can get free from Mitch on the COB board! Buy it now!

Exactly!!

That's a good idea!

I have 3 J50BCs. The one in my RR PRO sounds better than the one in my Custom RR with JE1000. These two J50BCs are a bit different though...the one that does not sound as good has longer screws sticking out on the bottom, the other one has not. I could blame guitar woods aswell...poplar vs. alder.

The 3rd one is in my Grover Jackson, but it's without any boost and I can't really compare it just yet...that one is the same as the one in my RR PRO.

I'm not actually sure what they both look like on the back, but I suppose it could be a little project on one of my days off or something.

Hah, sounds brilliant dude! Can't wait for these pics/videos, unless you've posted them and I've missed them sifting through pages I missed.

Nah, not yet. I don't even know when to expect the DVD.

If you pay for a book to learn theory, you are a fool!!! The internet is fucking packed with info, you just need google, a pan & paper and the time and dedication to learn it and apply it. Once you get that down, tabbing will be much easier, but there's no trick to learning how to do that, just like Inhe said.

^ and yeah, what she said.

 

[Ben Johnson]

I might just have to see Meshuggah when they come here. They're playing in Chicago 3 nights in a row (wtf, are they filming the concert or something?), and it's the end of the US tour. Should slay balls.

 

[<-Warheart->]

Go for it!

 

[Ben Johnson]

Meshuggah - Bleed

Damn, what a pain in the ass! Anyone else want to finish it?

 

[<-Warheart->]

I started a tab too but didn't finish it. I just wanted to see what that rhythm was, might see if I can learn it.

 

[Ben Johnson]

Is it actually 4/4 in the beginning? I'm not too good at deciphering odd time signatures.

 

[666laiho_4evacobhc]

I just love love Meshuggah. They may have long boring riffs but they have a little something...what it's called....talent? Yes, that is.

 

[666laiho_4evacobhc]

Is it actually 4/4 in the beginning? I'm not too good at deciphering odd time signatures.

They said in an interview than nearly all of their songs where in 4/4, it's just that people where trying too hard to find a hard signature time.

 

[Ben Johnson]

That would explain the huge, throbbing vein in my forehead right now...

 

[<-Warheart->]

Is it actually 4/4 in the beginning? I'm not too good at deciphering odd time signatures.

Probably, yeah. But I did 3 bars of 6/4 repeated and it works. I haven't gone any further but it seems to work. I think maybe the snare is off but I haven't listened to anything more to find out.

 

[guardian_of_fate]

But is that really worth hours of intense pain?



I think they're using 8's tuned to F.

And the knowledge that you can play that damned riff? Yes.
Oh and the low string is an F#
EDIT: Here's a somewhat accurate (I think, I haven't looked over too much) midi: Meshuggah - Bleed
BTW it sounds really silly with that low tuning. haha
