Meshuggah - Combustion

[alexkills]

Best use of Fender Telecaster. Period.

[L7dreamtheaterfan]

People keep saying an upgrade from that tele.

Teles are the best and most versatile guitars ever made... ever.

Period.

[L7dreamtheaterfan]

@WolvesBlesedByACurse .42 at thickest? Huh? You can get some .56 gauge strings from daddrio and ernie ball. and this is a tele?

[WolvesBlesedByACurse]

@L7dreamtheaterfan face palm*, im just guessing he is using .46's becouse that seems like a appropreate string gauge for the tele

i use .62 on my shechter c-7 hellraiser

[L7dreamtheaterfan]

@WolvesBlesedByACurse Proper string gauge isn't determined by the guitar though really... Even with the teles bigger scale, some people like big strings...

And woah, Where do you find strings that thick anyway?

[thenameiwantedwasnta]

du hade med den sjukaste delen som komemr efte rdet du spelade...

bra men det hade ägt om det var med...

[Manbox117]

dude mehuggah is so not meant for a tele

[666micks666maggot666]

I can make out the rhythm but not the notes because its muddier than a shit fest

[b0v1n3]

why would a shit fest be muddy?

[666micks666maggot666]

Think about the color ... and you wouldn't really want to do it anywhere else then outside and so its most likely going to get muddy

[b0v1n3]

but who says it has to be muddy it could be on a dry day or in a pool....

[sillystuff333]

!!!!!6 string!!!!!!

[farcrypoop]

gotcha...idk...it took me awhile to stop fucking up guitars with dropped tunings and big strings...so i eventually learned how to set one up and left it in tune lol...

[farcrypoop]

just out of curiosity, what did you tune the 6 string to to play this? just wondering...i don't think i would ever tune mine below dropped C honestly...

[jagspelargitarr]

@farcrypoop

well.. it was one of those "lets have fun" moment :P it's really not that serious..

[Battlescar2]

@farcrypoop ive tuned my six down to a flat before

[farcrypoop]

@Battlescar2 what type (extended scale, baritone, etc.) of guitar is it? did it sound like shit? my 7 sounds like shit in A flat...lol.

[Battlescar2]

@farcrypoop its a ibanez RG regular six string, it sounded alright, just the strings were like falling off. i got an ibanez 7 string now

[WolvesBlesedByACurse]

@farcrypoop low F standard almost 1 full octive down is which it should be played in

[Fluffie14]

yah that is funny. cuz its supposto be a twangy guitar

[Fluffie14]

i only clicked on this cuz you had a tele and it said meshuggah :P

[jagspelargitarr]

well, it is meshuggah and i do play a tele ;P

[AVShoreBrothers]

@Fluffie14 To be honest, that's the only reason I clicked too... But it's played fucking good!

[Levirauff]

@Fluffie14 so did I :-P

[Feuerfrei715]

Either shave down your nut to hold uber-thick strings, buy a 7-string with thick strings, or simply sell your soul for an 8-string. Otherwise, you'll never be able to get the actual tuning and tone used by Meshuggah. It's a rich man's sound lol. Or, you can tune UP to an entire octave above what Meshuggah plays and simply buy a mediocre octaver pedal that will shift it down an octave. That'd probably be cheaper but idk how it would sound.

[enjoiskater7777]

Buy an 8 string dumbass. Muddy ass piece of shit tele. Get an original guitar at least stupidshit

[jagspelargitarr]

thats really mature.. post a HD video of you playing meshuggah on your signature 8string guitar with golden strings...

[grmgzero]

lol. ya right

[jagspelargitarr]

tss :P then dont complain :P

[grmgzero]

7 or 8 string please

[jagspelargitarr]

buy me one?

[HadenTGB]

You can get a nice cheap one at rondomusic . com

Or ESP has one for 900

[7evenfoldXD]

what tuning lmao

[DeadandDECAYED99]

this guy's tuned in a.. but i think its in f#

[TheD616]

it's in f, a halfstep downtuned :)

[DeadandDECAYED99]

u dont kno wut ur talking about dude.. this guy in the vid is playing in a...the real song is in f

[TheD616]

yeah i know that the guy is playing that song in a, but the REAL song on the album is in f, you wrote that the real song is in f#! but it is an half step downtuned to f.. so u dont kno wut ur talking about DUDE........

[DeadandDECAYED99]

oooooooh ok now i see.. my bad man, i get it now :X

[TheD616]

np :)

[DeadandDECAYED99]

wow u r clearly a boylover

[MikePostDrums]

Boylovers don't play Meshuggah, man.

[atarig33k]

You don't need a fucken 8 string to play this song, just down tune the shit outta your guitar. Meshuggah only use 8 strings to get good tension and a clearer sound. @murdersoul: And when the fuck did the number of strings become a "fad"?  You fucken twat.

[BassPlayingRichy]

i don't think down tunning that low will make a sound... Will it ?

[Caconymic]

And your username says bass player. tsk tsk

[BassPlayingRichy]

i meant if you tuned standard sized six strings down to f#. nothing to do with bass

[caljmcgregor]

My problem isn't the fact that he isn't using an 8 string for the strong but the fact that he's using a telecaster. Still nice job.

[MurderSoul216]

And who the fuck cares?

[Antonohlin]

bra gjort synd att ljudkvaliten är rätt kass =/

[00sven00sven00]

i think you look more like the guitarist from

Suede, remember them, he was a good guitarist too

[jagspelargitarr]

yeah, somewhat :P.. wichone? pic?

[I3lackArrow]

lol, fan vad folk dampar här. Bra spelat =)

[danofmayz]

not an 8 string but good work man

[netscho]

Why do you speak about haircut and number of strings? this guy made a good work!

The most important thing in metal is attitude!!!

[g0it4r]

1. it sucks

2. FUCK EMO

[jagspelargitarr]

1. play it better yourself

2. emo??? what has that to do with this emo :O..

[g0it4r]

your haircut

[jagspelargitarr]

u gotta be kidding.. that's not even close :O.. you can't tell the difference between an emo kid and some half long hair?.. plz.. just becuase i havn't got a haircut in a while dosen't make me emo...

[shellaced]

lulz - I didn't notice your haircut till your Emo fan pointed it out. Nice job.

[jagspelargitarr]

so you must have a 8 string, the same amp, the same strings, the same distortio and meshuggah as band mates to have the permition to play it??? :P :D :S

[I3lackArrow]

no shit sherlock :)

[MurderSoul216]

He's proven that string count is a dumb fad.

[HamBungler]

String count is not a fad. More strings = more range, simple as that. You can tune a sixxer as low as you want, but you'll lose the high strings at the same time, not to mention all the stuff you can do when you use two handed tapping to do rhythm and melody lines at the same time, the bounds are endless.

[MurderSoul216]

And Meshuggah is using this range? Chug Chug.

It's a fad. A 6 string contains all the notes. "Range" is for talentless musicians. Everyone else seems to do fine with a mere 6 strings.

[HamBungler]

Its far from a fad. Range is a huge thing, especially if you want to be all fancy and play rhythm and Melody a-la the Chapman Stick or Warr guitars. Those ones are even more ridiculous and have upwards of 12 strings. And its not just chug, a lot of it is djent (y'know, the 4-note double octave chords that sound absolutely HUGE and sound weak on anything less than a 7) so its not just useless extra stings that you aren't going to use, its a legit instrument.

[farcrypoop]

...I play six and seven string instruments, want to get an 8 as well, i have to say its particularly fun to be able to run through a an a minor arpegio in a six string fashion at your 12th and end it with a cheesy ass blues variation and bound all the way back to the low B for another arpeggiated a minor run at a lower octave, I guess these are the practice runs of talentless musicians huh? why don't you just go have a sandwhich.

[jagspelargitarr]

the cake is a lie!

[MrMan7861]

@jagspelargitarr the cupcake is a small lie GLADOS will never be your friend

[faaip0de0oaid]

@jagspelargitarr why do you say that ?

i know it is from portal but why? xD

[servinyallchickens]

Did they use a seven string or eight string guitar when they recorded this song?

[daltontucker]

8 i think

[darraghfish]

8 i know

[Yortwax]

If anyone has guitar tab it would be greatly appreciated, please just post on this video.

[TunaMeltTigers]

Good job. Considering the fact that you're using a 2-string guitar, a cheesburger for a pick, and this is your -1st time playing the song... I think you did an admirable job. Kudos.

[LordHines420]

"Good job. Considering the fact that you're using a 2-string guitar, a cheesburger for a pick, and this is your -1st time playing the song... I think you did an admirable job. Kudos."

--LMFAO. That is the greatest comment I have ever seen on YouTube. No joke.

[itscurbe]

your timing seems off

[jagspelargitarr]

not the most serius recording :).. i recordet it just for fun while waiting for a phone call.. haha.. take it for what it is.. i just learned those riffs before i pressed rec :)

[xerogamma]

Not bad, but you definitely need a 7 string. It sounds really off key on a 6.

[Shadowtechnique]

dude, you can't play Meshuggah on a 6-string. it sounds horrid.

[jagspelargitarr]

get me a 8string and i'll play it on the 8string.. should i choose to not play meshuggah just because i dont have the exakt same guitar??

[Shadowtechnique]

Yes.

[jagspelargitarr]

tsss.. thats just no fun :)

[LordHines420]

I learned all of nothing, catch 33, and obzen on a 6 string. it's perfectly doable. i now have a downtuned 7 string which is PERFECT, but don't knock the guy for trying.

i did notice most of the ppl who play this song and other usually miss a few notes here and there and simplify the songs, which is not good. I think I only notice because I slow the songs down in Cool Edit Pro and analyze every note as I learn the songs. that's the best way to truly learn the songs. p.s. tabs are always wrong.

[daltontucker]

do u have 6 string tabs for combustion

[LordHines420]

The only tabs I have are the ones I made myself of a few of the more complicated sections of a few of the songs, and they are for 6, 7, or 8 string guitars the way I wrote them, just as long as you are tuned properly or an octave higher if using a 6 string with normal strings. So, I guess you could say I do, kind of :)

[ZeppelinRules]

You could just tune your 6 string way down. I'm pretty sure thats what he did. I don't think you really need the high strings anyways except maybe for the solo.

[daltontucker]

i know thats what alot of people do thats old news

[LivingDeadBeat010]

meshuggah + tele. never seen that before. I can see it on a strat, but not a tele. well played though, congrats!

[ScraveRat]

with a tele you can do anything!

[alk4h0l1k]

except for actually rocking out

[bridgfordbill]

apart from a divebomb,,,,unless you use a whammy pedal

[ArchDemonNar]

very nice dude.

[solemnpears]

Meshuggah on a Tele? Nah don't see it.

[jagspelargitarr]

hehe.. i think you'r the forth or fith how commented on that.. :)

why comment the obvious?.. it's not like i know it's a tele and that im playing a meshuggah song :P.. but i dont have an 8string ibanez or whatever.. so i play with what i have :)

[solemnpears]

Well you did a very good job with what you had ;)

PS. I love Tele's. You don't like Oceansize by any chance do you?

[jagspelargitarr]

thx ^^

hehe.. yeah.. for the right songs.. theyr quite good :P

hmm.. never heard of them :S.. but i saw their myspace! i'll check them out! thanks for the tip! :)

[concantenation]

Oceansize rules

[Blankdoc]

I guess you gotta have an eight string to be Hardcore or a hard ass right? Also Rich?! Fags! Nice Vid! Keep doin what your doin man.

[121DRUMMER]

u just called meshuggah fags u fukin idiot, still good video tho

[otisjefferson]

Meshuggah on a Telecaster... I've seen everything !!! hahaha

Seriously, this is really good man. But you deserve a more appropriate guitar.

[somefucktupshit]

fukin tight as hell bro, keep up the good work!

[nkd5001]

haha not bad, but you deserve a more appropriate guitar just for listening to Meshuggah, let alone playing it...that should be top on your list of priorities, except maybe getting ass and eating pizza. No, never mind, upgrading from that tele is more important than both of those

[jagspelargitarr]

hehe :P.. that's true.. my ibanez and my bc rich had broken strings at that moment..

also im saving for an esp.. but what can a poor student do? :).. if it were a real recording i wouldn't think twice about getting an appropriate guitar, but come on.. youtube quality? :)

[tobylove666]

Great work dude, now get a real metal hair cut ;-)

[trickmast]

LOL dude i saw this on lastfm and had to come here to leave a comment, messhugah on a telecaster that is a first :P

Btw im not dissing at all, it's just funny because i consider that to be the last guitar in the world i'd play meshuggah on :P Maybe a strat also hahahh

Meshuggah on a strat raaaaaahahha :P

ps. rock on :)

[gacktology]

it's a tele

[davidrosenblum]

as he mentioned...?

[Sezzthrazz]

lololololol

[Pillowfort]

I dunno, telecasters don't look particularly metal but they're set up pretty well for it, I've a Korean Deluxe HH which I use primarally for metal.

Plus the guy from wintersun uses like this bright yellow tele, which looks ridiculous in the videos but sounds awesome :D.

[rockon3691]

first time i bet meshuggah has ever been played on a telecaster.....nice job ....any meshuggah riff is a bitch to play

[satanic1jesus1lizard]

need 8 string

[jagspelargitarr]

buy me one and i'll play on it :D

[familyguyriot]

sick vid, the new meshuggah album is sick, i wont a compettition so i got it early, fucking love this song!

[themonsterbass]

telecaster

[ADAM12345666]

[jagspelargitarr]

why not? hahaha.. dont blame a poor man for his guitar :P.. i'm saving up for a ESP :D

[tranquil87]

[Skitaklessa1]

Nice, good job.
