Meshuggah - Personae Non Gratae - Sum on guitar

[alansvartr]

Absolutely awesome. Literally. Thanks for the reveal; I'll be repeating and emulating for future reference. I can't get enough of polyrhythms at the minute, and its showing in my own productions (even the progressive house I make). \m/ Keep up the good work.

[Meshuggaaaahhhhh]

I've been replaying parts of this video for a couple hours, I'm trying to get the whole thing down. What was your guitar tuned to?

[YouWantMyHuebos69]

WHERE THE FUCK CAN I GET TABS?????

[periphery09]

at the part before the CALM part....

[periphery09]

In dehuminization it doesnt even look like your hitting anything else but the low F. either im blind or u were just chugging that thing the whole time?

[Iechine]

@periphery09 A little blind.

[thetruearsonist]

Is there a tab for this anywhere?

[MetallicJoker]

WHERE CAN I GET THE FULL LENGTH OF THIS SONG?

[PrettyLittleMaggot]

don't be sad ! there's people who can't get through even three chords of this song (:

[ZmetalmanZ]

You fuckin rule.

[ccw3]

this is gotta be one of the most bad ass Meshuggah songs ever!

[ashtrayCrackhead]

beast cover. meshuggah's not easy. props.

[FreepowerUG]

This is an absolutely brilliant cover.

All the people saying the guitar isn't loud enough need to go back and listen to the track and then listen here again - your guitar is quite distinct to me. :)

[Deflectioneer]

You oughta turn the volume of the song down. Sort of hard to distinguish your guitar from the track.

[bhfam]

did you figure this out by ear or are there tabs for this?

[Nuggy16]

Sick cover man, i like! Nice timing too man. best bits - 4:05 onwards! heavy as fuck led! Nug! 5/5 Niiiiiiiiiicccee

[RomaIvakov]

nice vid man! great work. that looks like an RG7321? can't see the headstock..

[abaurre3]

So.. what are the gauges used for the F tuning?

[MickeyLWalker]

if yuo enjoy meshuggaah!!!

then you will enjoy

Bulb (Misha Mansoor), and Animals as Leaders (Tosin Abasi),

great job

[Mrcabe]

Sick sound man! How did you get that sound?

[Nick0088]

great work, love those songs, but i can hear more of the actual song rather than ur guitar, turn it up mate

[RomaIvakov]

fuckin nice video man! love sum, 6:00 onwards. amazing

[mrweck]

thanks smart ass

[Iechine]

Well at least I can count.

[gibbsies]

what was the point of asking that question if u didnt want the answer

[mrweck]

so you bought an 8 string because you like meshuggah a lot, or what?

[Iechine]

Its a seven string guitar...

[jimmah01]

@Iechine Haha.. Nice one.

[angryassdrummer]

sum is my fav song ion catch 33 well equal with in death is life

good job!

[escapetosamsara]

CRAP

[escapetosamsara]

Meshuggah Schmugagah. PISH

[nobzen]

6:00 ---> there's really no words to describe it. awesome is nowhere near. good job

[AlanLasombra]

Whats the tunning that you're using ?

[LordHines420]

fuck.... is your guitar on? man, if you need recording tips let me know.

looks nice, though.

[Iechine]

Haha

[Iechine]

I think 8 or 9 years now.

[bernardokubrick]

gotta get a 8 string and tune it to meshuggah so i can play this 3 tracks too. nice job man

[lebowow2000]

this shit tells a story.

[actofinsanityjoe]

heavyest album in existance i mite say.....

or mabye i is heavyer

[Sojk65a]

6:00 i love that part

[Xellior]

Hey great job! Very good timing!... Um, do you have the tabs for this by any chance?

[shroomosaur]

great job man! I Love the part in sum where there is a pause and then that awesome riff with strings in the back...makes me wanna get an rg2228

[ledhead154]

The reprise of Shed during Personae Non Gratae always gives me chills...

Then Sum hits like a power-punch to the temple. I imagine that if terror had a sound, it would resemble the climax in Sum.

Catch 33 might be the best metal album I've ever heard. It's tough to call...

[Happy0]

I hear you, brother.

[AtrophySyntrophy]

Awesome vid, as usual.

I have a six string, tuned to B, and then I use a pitchshifter to bring it down three tones to F >:3

Works like a charm!

By the way, I'm perfecting 'Sum' at the mo, will be uploaded soon!

[Atern0x]

5:53 - "Huh, what's going to happen now actually? ... Ooooohw, yeah, right..."

Haha, awesome dude, awesome!

[AlphaSolidus]

Obzen is great, but catch 33 remains my favorite. I love how unstoppable these last 3 tracks are. So jammin'.

[arsisrule666]

yeah, bleed isnt a good as catch 33.

well in my opinion no meshuggah album is as good as it

but ya'know :P

[schwarg]

If you can play dehumanization, I think you could probably play bleed, it's pretty similar just gotta build up the arm strength to keep it up through the whole song lol.

[Iechine]

I can play Bleed. I do not own a camera though, I borrowed someone's for these videos.

Learning Bleed < Learning Catch 33 by miles and miles.

[ixrxthethorn]

u gotta cover something from Obzen!

[0BLOODMOUNTAIN0]

Brilliant rhythm skills!

[Elmerfudge641]

how long would it take at guitar before i could possibly play this

anyone who has tried or knows how long they think it would take message me

[mathiusvoodoo]

It depends on what skill level your already at and how much you practice. If you play an hour a day i would take ages but if you played like 3 hours a day really focus no messin around, then you'll play this in a week or two.

[p3daltotheMETAL]

fuckin sick

this is gonna help me learn this shit

ive done autonomy lost-disenchantment by ear, but these are the tracks i really wanna learn

so good dude

[markusvonbasten2]

Awesome job!

That 7th string looks like its flapping like hell though, what gauge strings are you using?

[ShiftStyle]

WHAT STRINGS DO YOU USE!

[alk4h0l1k]

I also tuned my 7 string down to an F, like meshuggah, i got an Ibanez RG 7321, with a 0'68 baritone string set.

[arsisrule666]

nice rage t-shirt. lives up to the playing. ie: f'awesome.

[AmonAmarthRRocks]

is it just me or is this video not really syncronized!?

[bucko60]

"...a new level reached. where the absence of air let's me breathe..." amazing guitar skills and sense of rhythm man!

[karmanameless]

dude you are awesome! you we're so in the pocket there i couldn't even hear the difference between your guitar and the track until you made a mistake.

also,these are my favorite tracks off of catch 33,i could just listen to them over and over...and often do! :)

[Iechine]

I appreciate that but this one is hard to listen to...I hear my own mistakes pretty loud!

[Worsthoofd]

Great playing! The 4:05 part feels like a nuclear explosion... I always turn the volume up there.

[craigisageek]

Dude I've been checking out all your vids - you should record yourself playing the whole of C33 (even if you had to split it up into sections)

[jockethebastard]

great great job!

[B0OSH]

let me tell you man those three song's are a fucking orgasm, personae non gratae, is about to cum, then dehumanization i bust all over, then sum i'm finishing up it all and, god it sounds like fucking heaven, anyway man you are a great guitar player, i would really love to get those tabs somehow, nice one man

[kilderslive]

Yeah I would like those tabs too

Personae Non Gratae, Dehumanization and Sum aren't available anywhere online as far as I know

[biohazard641]

taht beat down thingy in sum is fucking hair raising, amazing job once again XD so tight im extremely impressed man, seriously (Y)

[xxDemonathxx]

men..esta muy fuerte el playback, que no creo que te suene tan limpio...sorry

[cheaptrades]

the breakdown in dehumanization kicks so much ass its great.

[Larss0Ne]

Very good job. In my opinion, the best part on the album is Sum 01:01 and further. I have never heard a better ending of an album. Nice job once again!

[funkbeastbasslover]

better ending of anything for that matter. that shit is so amazing. meshuggah is amazing.

[Larss0Ne]

=) Agreed

[krakhaid]

agreed. That bit of Sum is one of the most amazing pieces of music I've ever heard.

[jmaguerra]

Is that the RG2228?

[jmaguerra]

Oh, forget, the 2228 has got a fixed locking trem. What guitar is that anyway?

[Iechine]

An Ibanez POS

[gaunten]

I just love the switch to the riff that sounds like shed at 05:07 it's so fucking twisted, that and the outro that starts at 06:00 and of course the brainmelting riff at 04:05 I think, is life at it's greatest.

[jpdarnley]

all i have to say is Meshuggah=Incredible

[hellonieman]

awesome job! dang theres not even any tabs for these songs. whats the time signature for the first riff in dehumanization?

[Iechine]

22/7

[ForetNoire]

what the hell...a 7th note?

[Iechine]

I was kiddin'.

[ForetNoire]

sweet im slow...your good though meshuggah ftw

[FierceDeity33]

i don't give a flying rat's ass about your opinion erikishere and lachine, sorry if it sounded like i was trying to be a dick, i didn't get the sarcasm (seriously!reading it with sarcasm in mind makes much more sense), so sorry about that :) about the volume thing, i think it's ok, you think you don't hear him but you do, it's pretty close to the original.

[HienrichHimmler]

it makes me laugh how kids are like

turn down the music so we can hear you

but when you cut out, and play back in it sounds like it was just a part of the song.

[erikishere]

fiercediety, you're an idiot.

[Iechine]

I really dont think it requires an explanation. Obviously I didnt have room to list all three songs, so I wrote in Personae - Sum as in 'Personae non gratae through sum'. Considering that I did this with other sections of Catch 33 it shouldnt be that hard to grasp.

Dont be so awfully dense.

[makelelemakelele]

there's 3 songs. it is supposed to be "Personae Non Gratae - Dehumanization - Sum"

[Iechine]

Really. I had no idea, what with me playing all three of them and everything.

[FierceDeity33]

and yet it said so in the video?

[Iechine]

Im not quite sure what that means.

[FierceDeity33]

it means that you wrote "personae non gratae

dehumanization

sum" in the video. and was aimed at your statement that you "had no idea" all three...

[Iechine]

The 'had no idea' was completely sarcastic.

[HeyYouIm18]

play some d.e.i. or none.

[MrBluEDicE]

This is just brilliant. I watch this video more than any other on youtube.

[Iechine]

Haha, thats good to hear. I think I mess up more in this one than any other though, its sad.

[220BX]

dude,what size strings are those. and what's your gear?

[WebsterA]

Fuckin eh dude.

That was killer.

Some people... know.

[smokejc]

I agree with was posted about 4:05. That is so fucking heavy, it's out of this world.

[smokejc]

what was posted*

[CivicLSI]

4:06 simply BRUTAL

[Antidifferentiation]

I actually laughed out loud several times during the Kill Whitey Saga

nice job

[Manuelucci]

yeah baby

[applesacks]

thats funny...didnt watch the WHOLE thing. sounds just like it. what are you playing through.

[applesacks]

im very confused...is this just to show us how to play it...because thats mesuggah audio

[Iechine]

All of the guitar you hear is me, I cut the original out of the mix. This is obvious when I make a mistake/stop playing.

[Hitrate]

Sorry man, but I don't believe that for one second. If you listen closely, at the beginning before the song starts, you play a note - which is obviously not as loud as the backtrack. No way can you "cut the original out" unless you miraculously acquired the separate studio tracks. What we're hearing is you playing on top of the Meshuggah album.And you did a great job btw. - but your guitar should be louder than the mix, so it's more distinguishable. Keep it up :) 5stars

[Iechine]

'What we're hearing is you playing on top of the Meshuggah album.'

Uh...yea? Thats pretty obvious man.

[Hitrate]

You commented here: "All of the guitar you hear is me, I cut the original out of the mix. This is obvious when I make a mistake/stop playing."

As I said, there's nothing "cut out" from the original - so don't claim there is!

And since your guitar is so low compared to the original, it's hard to even hear your guitar.

[Iechine]

Mmmhm, I cut the guitars with a severe EQ. So mostly bass and gutted guitars remain from the original track.

I think the guitar is low compared to the other C33 videos I did here, but meh, who cares. This is like 2 years old. Even then I didnt put much effort into the video, it was some ghetto old DVD cam I borrowed for a weekend.

Im not trying to pull wool over anyones eyes, I think you're just taking things a little too literal.

[Iechine]

Feel free to learn it and post your own video with louder guitars, BTW. I'll link it here!

[Grognax]

4:05 --> Fatality.

[crapdragoon]

haha, sweet tiger, i had that ratm shirt, lost it with like 20 others tho =(

sweot playin n whatnot

[Tranxhead]

Em...

You're amazing...

I have some tabs for some the earlier sections posted at metaltabs, I always wanted to do the whole album, but now I'm stuck composing my own music.

I can also play the beginning of the section that fades out Catch 33, which is my favourite of all my tabbing achievements.

An finally, I'm away to check your band out.
