Fredrik Thordendal's solo on Meshuggah's "Born In Dissonance" (2016)

[@farrenLP]

imagine being in a moshpit at a meshuggah concert and instead of guitar solo they bring out accordion, that would be unforgettable experience

[@charleskny]

I'm up for that ^_^ You should check out my project CKRAFT it's heavily influenced by Meshuggah hehe

Imagine if they were on the same set as KoЯn. Jonathan Davis just goes on fucking stage with the bagpipes haha

well they did bring out a melodica once, so I guess it's not entirely out of the question kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJTWdZtvjpZsfc0si=tkyw4T7NWISUcnqT&t=774

The metal community is so cool and accepting, that if this guy came out and did the solo for this song, I think the crowd would go wild and love it. If you did this at a country show, rock show, or any other genre (expect polka of course), I think he'd get booed off stage no matter how good it is. And believe me, he is GOOD! He nailed it. God I love metal heads.

[@charleskny]

thanks for your kind words! Good point too, metalheads are the coolest crowds! You should check out my metal band here on YT you might enjoy it, it's heavily influenced by Meshuggah and Thordendal's work :) www.youtube.com/@ckraft_band

[@lt4801]

why does this work?!

[@Fox420]

notes are notes dude

[@charleskny]

Thanks Lukas for your comment! Accordion and guitar actually have some similarities when it comes to placing your fingers, especially on parallel stuff. Also this solo is mostly based on a half-step/whole-step scale, which creates very natural hand positions on accordion if you use the 5 rows of buttons for your fingerings :-)

[@birthdaydinosaur]

the timbre is similar

[@charleskny]

@@birthdaydinosaur true! some of accordion's registers have this "saturated" feel when they're played with a lot of pressure from the bellow

I love any rendition of any Meshuggah solo on any instrument as long as there's talent and passion behind it.
