Meshuggah - Bleed (Guitar Track)

Taken from Rock Band stems. Enjoy!

[@nategoodwin3329]

It's still hell to learn as a drummer..My shins bled the first day of practice..it's relentless

[@eskeknas5540]

To me it's opposite. Trying to break it down makes me realize how intricate this thing is. Trying to play it - first, the speed alone is insane, but if you get that part, now you got to follow the rhythm and changes.. It's a world of hurt.

[@KyleBenzien]

Hats off to you drummer dudes.

[@johnmoore9588]

Nathanael Goodwin do you mean literally? How does that work?

[@TobyKBTY]

Yeah it's simpler to process, but still not "easy" per se. This really helps, but it's still gonna take the average person quite a while to get that stamina down. It's insane.

[@HeyItsTheWykydtron]

Bleed is one of those songs that doesn't make sense unless a whole band is playing it.

I'd love to, but I'm not sure where I would find them. Bleed was released as DLC for Rock Band, so I was able to extract the stems from the game. No other Meshuggah songs have been released there though :(

SpiralShadow123 if they ever did release another Meshuggah song, oh my god there so many good ones to pick from. people would probably have fun with new millenium cyanide Christ, but good luck ever getting a studio to release the individual tracks haha. the album was made in 98. as far as today's stuff, violent sleep of reason would be super sick in my opinion. Our rage won't die would be another good one.

I tried to match this with the drum track and for some reason I can't

[@Zawmbbeh]

Match the 000-0 riff with the kick drums. Other than that, you can’t really do it, mainly because Meshuggah loves to make confusing polyrhythms.

[@soullessSiIence]

@@Zawmbbeh polymeters*

[@fashionkiller11]

@@soullessSiIence polyrythms is technically correct, at least for the drums. The guitars often play a polymeter riff centered around the 4/4 hit-hat of the drums. But you can interpret what the drummer plays as a polyrythm. A 4/4 beat on the hi-hat and some odd numbers of hits on the kick an/or snare.

Hey man, I would need to use your rock band stems for Bleed, but it seems like there is a guitar track missing on your ''guitar track'' video. I know some rock band songs have extra tracks with more content on it, and I suppose the missing track is on the extra track. Anyway, could it be possible to send it to me or to upload it? I really really need it, thanks a lot :)

[@eliasjacksonmusician]

Hey, turns out you're right. I just looked at the files and there's a "song.ogg" that contains the extra part at 2:02, 3:45, and 4:50.
If you want to get the original rock band files there's a new website that they're hosted on. Go to "chorus.fightthe.pw" in your browser, type in meshuggah bleed and it should be the third one down (make sure it is RhythmAuthors chart).
Let me know if there's anything else you need. Cheers

There's a lot of people now that think they need to drop thousands on gear or plugins to get the perfect "djent" or modern metal tone, when in reality it's usually the bass and sometimes kick drum used cleverly in a mix to give off the illusion of the guitar tone being more complex.
