I had a tough time finding anything in there worth taking notice of…… guitar for beginners 101?
Don’t understand the hype either?
I don't get it either man... and I used to be a huge metalhead back in the day. His technique is horrible, but I can't help but think that's part of the appeal. Fret hand ring finger knuckle is buckled, plays on the pads of his fingers instead of the tips, holds his pick with his thumb knuckle, pulls the first fret out of tune every time he frets it, uses the same finger for that ascending section... but he's stupid famous and I'm a nobody, so perhaps he knows something I don't.
ha... dude your band sounds like this>>>I don't get it either man... and I used to be a huge metalhead back in the day.

OMG Cobbler ! Haven't you became your gran-father ? ^^I always told myself I would never do what my dad did when he told me bands like The Who and The Doors had no talent and I held out for a very long time. I made it through disco. I made it through cheesy hair metal. I even got past Rap which I cannot stand by saying where I may not agree or like said music I can understand where others might.
Not so with the death metal scream stuff. Sorry. I just don't get it at all. It's like they say lets go out and play the most unmusical stuff we can think of and see if anyone buys into it. It absolutely astonishes me that anyone could think that clip is musical. You could not pay me enough to sit through 10 minutes of that much less a concert.
I have become my father! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggghhhhhhhhhhhhh! :roll
Elvis was the first to do his thing. Was his tecnique anything special?
The Beatles was the first to do their thing. Was the 3 chords in 90% of their songs very original?
Was Picasso a great painter? Not really, but he was the first to do what he did.
This have really absolutelly nothing to do with being tecnically awsome, or having x amount of skill.
Ist about doing something new and innovative, and doing it before anyone ells.
And before people call out that there is nothing innovative about Meshuggah, please remember what the elder generation said about Elvis, Beatles and many more that did something new.
Some of the djent guitarists I watch on youtube have amazing right hand technique and timing but after 30 seconds I'm over it.

The clip mentioned is really musical compared to some other songs from Meshuggah !
Exactly how i feel when i see a clip with Guthrie. So yeps deff to each his own
I don't get Picasso either!
Being the first at merchandising something I feel any child could do doesn't imply innovation to me as much as it indicates there are those who will buy into anything. :roll
Whatever floats your boat though. It's all good!
