  • Mike Stringer performing a live one take playthrough of "Holy Roller".
    TUNING:
    Drop F# with the Kemper shifting to a low F, E, and D#
    The Kemper is being sent midi from Reaper to trigger the de-tune patches, which is how it's happening in real time
    GEAR USED:
    Aristides 070SR (Lundgren M7 pickups) - Kemper - Focusrite 18i20 - Reaper
    Thank you for watching!

    This dude is a seasoned studio guitarist, man. He's spent countless hours refining his craft, look at his volume knob discipline, total focus all the way through, relaxed posture and playing. This is a masterclass.

    Im only 43, been playing drums since I was 4. Studied drums, former session drummer. The reason I say that is, this is the first song in probably 15 years I didnt care what the drums were doing. I wanted to know what that stank face inducing riff was. This guy has that groove that so many look for their whole lives and never find.

    The stuff that’s going on here is unfortunately going to be under appreciated by most who hear it. The level of thought put into what seems like such a simple riff is next level. What’s happening in the second verse with the constant down modulations so the song and feel continue to get lower snd lower (down) and how the vocals and lyrics match that is so great. That’s one thing about playing in such low tuning, and so distorted, there’s a lot that will just be lost in definition but fortunately on the right system can still be felt, fucking loving this band right now

      @@yellowsaurus4895 You might've solved this already, but just in case. Since you're going with an 8 string, you should be able to play this by tuning the first 7 strings to drop F# and then the 8th string to D#, which will give you the extra range of D#, E, F, F# ,G.

    The groove daddy himself. Mike is proof you don't have to be a technical player (even though it is clear he is a technical player), it's all about feel and this song makes me feel like bouncing. Mike, you really need to get these tabs out there in some form, a book or Guitar Pro files and charge for them. Not that many of us have the patience, time, skill or equipment to do the pitch shifting parts. I would love to see how your songs are put together though. It's evident in these playthroughs, the final studio versions with vocals have some of the details buried, like Blessed Be (which is a beautiful instrumental track in its own right). If it's not too much to ask, instrumental versions of your tracks would be awesome and I would gladly pay (as would many others). You guys deserve every bit of financial support you can get.

      They get that from meshuggah. Most songs that meshuggah writes are all based around one riff. You then can make different riffs by simply changing the pitches, adding or subtracting, reversing the rhythm etc.
