MESHUGGAH - Bleed (Cover) + TAB

There seems to be a problem with the video, your right hand seems to be stuck in the same motion at a high speed. Must be a glitch 🤣🤣🤣

[@likeasir6147]

Have you changed your picking technique for this song? It seems like your Hand is looking more like a fist :D

[@markdemars7044]

João Medeiros Brilliant. Plus I just finished up listening to the quintessential Meshuggah album Destroy Erase Improve a few days ago. Nice work. 👍🤘😎

[@knockedgoose4206]

My favorite thing about this song is that it's simple in a way, that you can easily learn how its played by ear, but still so complex in practice that it's almost impossible for most people to actually play completely through.

[@joaoldmedeiros]

That is very accurate!

Man this was such a sick cover. So many people underestimate how much this song means for metal, they just think because there's chugging it's not an impressive song. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Great cover man.

You’re right. I enjoy the song but I was a bit turned off by how “simple” it sounded. I respect it so much more now.

Drummer is on a WHOLE notha level. He's playing in 4/4 and whatever the polyrhythm time sig is at the same damn time. So wild. This song is so unsettling. I love it.

Absolutely Danny, this is special music

This whole song is like one long intense picking hand exercise lol.

[@joaoldmedeiros]

Yes sir, exactly!

[@ryu-ken]

the timing is so tricky.

[@MonoIce350s]

Fun fact, this is the only song that uses the entire range of the 8-string guitar. F1 at 3:22 (lowest), E♭6 at 5:27 (highest).

[@thurmanmerman6173]

1:40 - You played it right. Everyone always omits the 'C' when they cover it. Same goes for 3:38 and the tritone interval. They seem like unimportant elements, but they make those moments extra cold and menacing.

[@joaoldmedeiros]

So so glad you appreciate those details man ❤

R u dumb? When u have 8 strings u dont need to downtune

Yes but the added 10 steps of low range on the bottom 2 strings might also help

[@cdsmetalhead99]

Yeah, on an 8 string guitar…

[@Wellinater]

I don’t know much about playing guitar, but I feel like this song is hard to play. Just cause the timings are so weird. That’s what makes this such a unique and classic song though. Kick ass song choice and kick ass cover🤘🏻
