For the intro riff if you want to count it out in 8th notes it’s 4 3 4 3 4 5 3 4. Counted in 8th notes just like he does in the other riffs. So in the context of 8 measures of 4/4 like the clean guitar intro it’s 4 3 4 3 4 5 3 4 4 3 4 3 4 5 3 4 4. For the intro and choruses it’s played over 16 measures of 4/4 so it’s 4 3 4 3 4 5 3 4 4 3 4 3 4 5 3 4 4 3 4 3 4 5 3 4 4 3 4 3 4 5 3 4 4 4 I’ll add that each line of 4 3 4 3 4 5 3 4 is a measure of 15/4 as Yogev showed in the video.

[@NACHOTHEIST]

Completely insane. Meshuggah is the best band in the world to me.

[@matejgrim]

Best live shows too

[@merkantelismo]

Now, i bet Meshuggah will be able to play this live. They could use this as their click track.

[@anonazerty165]

Can they ?

[@fugchugson]

The reason they don't play it live is because it uses 2 different tunings simultaneously. Polyrhythms never got them down.

[@ZeeLotusEater]

I did not understand anything, but i have a feeling this is incredible

[@benjaminpikoikj7090]

Bravo! 😂😂

[@diegopelozo2679]

😅

[@cognitivedissident4615]

Most impressive. I love the way a Meshuggah rhythm can come together after listening to it enough times to where you can just intuit it. But some, like the one you deciphered here, i could never feel out in a million years. Thanks

[@HoldMeForever]

I don't understand anything about music theory, why do I keep watching these videos 🤣

[@artonion420]

Not much theory here, just counting the beats. Fantastic videos, I hope you keep watching.

[@jaumepp1975]

Thank you very much, Yogev, for making these videos about the best band ever. They help me a lot, and I'm sure they do the same for many other fans. Besides, they're very well done. Congrats, man, you fxckxng rock!!!

[@dimejoe2621]

I feel the amount of time and energy you spent on this😭 👍🏻

[@thegoht2212]

The most fun I've ever had watching someone else count!

[@MEcker-fr9nb]

Hi Yogev, as so many others, I am glad that you are back! I love your videos, they have inspired me to listen and to find new aspects on different kinds of music. And although I still don't like the music of Meshuggah yet, I like and appreciate your style of analysing. But most of all, I want to thank you for leading my attention to Tigran Hamasyan. His music means very much to me and I am sure that I would not know him without you highlightning him. So THANK YOU! Warm regards from Germany!

[@bsatyam]

I remembered this song like a recurrent sequence. I remember what's coming next just when when it's about to come.

[@MrBaverbo]

Hey Yogev, ya should totally check out the band Intronaut. The songs Fast Worms, Sul Ponticello and The Direction of Last Things would make great anlyzing vids, I think. Keep it up 🤘

[@SHARt_murmur]

Love it, one of my favorite Meshuggah songs.

[@gregduveau]

Thaaaaank you for this number version veeeeery useful !!!! Congrats for the job !!!

[@thakyou5005]

You're insane, dude! Absolutely astonishing if you can keep counting the rhythm like that. Respect!

[@williamcozart8158]

Damn. Made perfect sense Yogev.

[@CootaDrums]

Dude this video is so fkn awesome I really can’t wait to practice to this !!!

[@Tulio666]

New channel alert, meshuggah visualizers!

[@PhobosDDeimos]

Meshuggah is like watching incomprehensible wonders of higher beings. Watching Yogev just confirms, that this music is indeed made by higher beings, not intended to be comprehended by mere mortals.

[@chrishojem9792]

Would be epic for you to interview Eloy to understand how he approached his cover for this 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@scotttrieglaffmusic]

This is so ridiculous 🤯🤯🤯 #iloveit

[@MAXIMUMintheHORMONE]

Awesome

[@Conspyros]

Thank you so much! I was just about to write out every page from the other video but I am lazy

[@jadzock5567]

i believe the irregularities in the patterns are somehow anchored by the lyrics? i think this could be useful when decoding such songs. lovely work, as always 🩶

[@luptic1]

I'm so happy you're back!

[@mosthatedminnesotan]

Added this to my Playlist!

[@virrob9055]

Meshuggah is like if scientists/mathematicians reconverted to music for fun. Which sounds even crazier when you consider these guys have zero formal training, except for their bassist.

[@stefanolazzarato8451]

Breathe Yogev!!! Breathe!! 😅

[@caseymclane1972]

We're only short a konnakol version now

[@tejakusuma7968]

*weird phenomenon exist general public: that's some alien shit! meanwhile science:

[@seanroberts5915]

Have you ever considered doing a time consuming episode on TesseracT? I'd love to hear your interpretation of some of their songs like Natural Disaster, concealing fate part 1 and 2, war of being etc.

[@kscannella]

I'm feeling and reading alot of 14 and 15 over 4.

[@Ohio.Gozaimasu]

I'd love to see a breakdown of the title song from Dillinger Escape Plan's Calculating Infinity.

[@mikesmith7249]

Mayshuggah is back!!

[@nicktalope]

you deserve a glass of cold water :D

[@7177YT]

Hi! Did you start uploading again? Awesome! ((:

[@IRObot2113]

Has anyone just flat-out tried asking Meshuggah why they don't play it live?

[@guitaristssuck8979]

They could play it live with a second guitar on a stand like any other band does when they use electric and acoustic/classical guitars in the same song... Or they could use a 9 strings

[@thevorace]

But can you count to Katy Perry?

[@teamneutrophils4654]

YOU NEVER EXPLAINED HOW THE INTRO RIFF WORKS!!!!

[@JBrooksNYS]

he explained it in the full video

[@teamneutrophils4654]

@@JBrooksNYS No, he didnt

[@SMACKDOWN111]

if you want a "micro" representation of the riff ">" are slides. you can make a better representation if you include low/high notes 2 2> 2 1 2 2> 2 1 2 2> 2 3> 2 1 2 2>

[@drumkidstu]

I got you! It’s 4 3 4 3 4 5 3 4. Counted in 8th notes just like he does in the other riffs. So in the context of 8 measures of 4 like the intro it’s 4 3 4 3 4 5 3 4 4 3 4 3 4 5 3 4 4. For the intro and choruses it’s played over 16 measures so it’s 4 3 4 3 4 5 3 4 4 3 4 3 4 5 3 4 4 3 4 3 4 5 3 4 4 3 4 3 4 5 3 4 4 4
