Meshuggah's solo style

[EmptyKingdoms]

The solo itself is magnificent. But this is far from sounding Thordendal-like, mainly Meshuggah's newer stuff. You would need more extended notes, more whole-tone scale and some Allan Holdsworth clear influence too.

[wownov83]

Sounds nothing like Meshuggah or Holdsworth... fail

[ZeTaEXiSTeNZ]

Not really that Meshuggah/Holdsworth like, but good nonetheless

[Tiobranlotin]

omg, un francophone qui joue du Meshuggah .. <3

Dis, tu connais pas une bonne 7 cordes à bon prix ?

[MathieuLantagne]

@Tiobranlotin Schecter hellraiser C-7 .. Je l'ai en blanc .. c'est la classe et puis elle sonne vraiment bien

[allmetaliswelcome]

what scale do you use?

[ThePooman666]

That shit sounded rad :-)

[BucketheadfeatSlash]

can u make some kind of tutorial?

[williewpg]

what are the scales you're using for this solo? and if there are others that meshuggah uses what are they?

[CafeDkP13]

badass



[baldeeee]

Needs more legato/less picking for the true authentic Thordendal sound... Nevertheless, it's still very good : )

[DoctorPotHead]

What's this scale called? i really want to know how to play like this!!!

[sm0kenmirrhurz92]

Not enough whole tone to really sound Meshuggah-ish, but great playing none the less

[iksoinemod]

Nice hoodie!! DEATH!!!!!

[throatguitar]

awesome solo dude... what scales are you using?

[Blitzzkreigg]

@throatguitar i think its the harmonic minor he's using

[thedeucemancometh]

nice tone! and props on the shirt. Death is probably the greatest old school death metal band of all time

[GaryCancer]

If you guys are interested in the solo style of Meshuggah, check out Allan Holdsworth.

[420mofuckah]

@GaryCancer u wasted my fuckin time buddy, allan holdsworth is a soft old man u fuck he plays nothin like mshuggah

[Putrefraction]

@420mofuckah Fredrik Thordendal is heavily influenced by the genius of Allan Holdsworth. you wouldnt have Meshuggah today as they are without his influence, so dont be such a closed minded cunt

[Brandon75689]

@420mofuckah No sir you are very wrong. Fredrik Thordendal Got a huge inspiration from Allan Holdsworth's legato style playing, tone, and even scale positioning.

[Brandon75689]

@420mofuckah Compare Meshuggah's "Acrid placidity" to Allan Holdsworth's "Toyko Dream" and tell me what you hear.

[thenameiwantedwasnta]

@Brandon75689

Just so you know, Mårten Wrote all of "Acrid placidity"

Therefore you cant really use that song in an argument about Thordendahl

[Brandon75689]

@thenameiwantedwasnta True, But he is part of Meshuggah. Fredrik Really showed he was an influence because he made a solo album that was almost dead on. Mårten only has a Song of DEI. Which goes to show I think they all have the same mindset guitarist wise.

[TruthStandsForever]

awesome!

[necrophagist00]

That is the fuckin' shit right there! Fredriks brother from another mother

[FreddieTheFroggie]

Which scales did you use to make this awesome solo?

[actofinsanityjoe]

sounds more scar symmetry than meshuggah.

thats no insult though

[Riven1989]

fredrik joue beaucoup en legato, toi tu as pické toutes les notes (ou presque)

Sinon, j'aime bien, c'était inspiré :)

[gearsofhalo2]

what song is this called

[death666metal]

belle guit!

[ndhumbles]

jelous

[mathiusvoodoo]

Hey that's pretty good. I feel inspired after watching this. Gotta get me a wammy bar on me 7-string though. I do have one on a 6-string but meh needs both gadgets on one guitar really...

[nld155]

nice tone and fret work mate!

[krebsjude]

Cool guitar, nice playing, im wearing the same shirt at this moment

[ExcaliburFury]
