Meaning, faster is how he intended it to sound, he even speaks about this in the video. Jason hit every note on this riff. Do yourself a favor and slow down the fast one. ;)

      By no means am i disregarding his skill. He's extremely talented and what ge plays is amazing. But humans can only do so much. I'm simply saying that the second version sped up is how it would sound if you could play it perfectly... Like a robot.
      Think of it like a tool assisted speedrun, or a cut up speedrun on a game of the fastest speeds of each section all bunched together, it'd be basically impossible to achieve in one single speed run by a human ever, but theoretically it's possible... It will still though... Never be achieved by anyone

    Awesome riffage. Never heard of this dude and was shocked after a google to learn that I am 10 years older than him! Wow. I had heard of "Born of Osiris" because of the "Nik Nocturnal" channel; he's a young kid that plays very well and is into all the Djent stuff but I've begun to realise that I'm an old man now! Lmao!

      @Aaron Wells Yeah, I'm certainly gonna check him out. I rarely listen to modern metal at all, in the post-early 2000's sense, excepting some black/death. Hence why I sub young guys like Nik Nocturnal. I have many playlists on my channel of bands I do like but I never dug Meshuggah or the genre(s) they are credited with influencing and spawning; basically the Djent stuff. I guess you could say I'm stuck in the past but thanks for the tips. Richardson is clearly worth the attention of any player and I will certainly be having a deeper look at him.

    Wow.. This is absolute pure garbage. Slow it sounds decent, full speed sounds awful
