You can tell his influences are from the fusion world. He plays his solos like a wood or brass instrument. Space and flurries of notes. Really great stuff.
Catch 33 is such a masterpiece , still my favourite album of theirs . The space in the solo is amazing . These boys are next level musicians , also love their integrated use of tech and live instruments .
The best thing is that you can always come up with a "Fredrik solo", because its mostly improvised and you can just noodle around the neck and something will sound great. It's a great fun.
@@justevan877 I think it's because Fredrik don't endorse their product anymore, so they remove his video. Companies do that when they cut ties with partners. But I am not definite.
I believed the original video was deleted because a parody made by Ola Englund where the solo of Mr Thordendal was mixed with a Disney backingtrack... 🤷♂️
Always refreshing when something outside of the box comes along. outside the same old genre. Although everything has pretty much been done, there is always uncharted space. That was cool. Progressive. Jazz. Fusion. Djentrifreud. Metallic.
Listen binaural music for meditation, it's actual science and that's why it works. Meditation to this kind of music would be purely esoteric. It wouldn't even promote good and proper breathing as you would be breathing in and out at differing intervals because of the tempo. It wouldn't work in the way meditation is supposed to work.
@@zeal0tseven57 fair do's I'm not judging I can understand how it calms you it calms me too in some ways but when I personally listen to binaural music things like my breathing becomes effortless etc..
That's my point it really works so I suggested that it may legit work for you...don't get me wrong I'm going to see meshuggah and tool in may so I'm all for the pitch bends etc interestingly meshuggah use the key of e flat a lot which is synonymous with jazz it's just 2 or 3 octaves below
Paying homage to Holdsworth primarily with other jazz and fusion legends incorporated... that's a good thing and I really like his appreciation and individual style..👍
I know they don't play this live. I guess they just drop tuned for that section at 2:04 while tracking? Because he's obviously playing that low F as an open string during the intro.
The guitar in this video is an Ibanez M8M, and it's both Fredrik and Mårten's signature guitar. They share a signature model. But you're right, a few years ago Fredrik also got another signature, the FTM33, which is the Iceman you're talking about.
Solo it's either the shortest and longest Solo in history or I'm missing 100 notes that should be in this song but it's wasted on only like six or seven notes this is straight boring give me your equipment and guitar so I can use it for something good

He is in love with Alan Holdsworth who himself used to play legato style to imitate sax.
He's absolutely next level and a gem in the genres
AllanHoldsworth - chief influencer for Frederik
Not many musicians were able to incorporate Allan Holdsworth's vocabulary into their own style with such brilliant effects like Fredrik did.
Best thing i ever read
Like Fred does
You may want to check Dan Mongrain and the last 2 records he did with Voivod. Amazing stuff.
This solo does have Holdsworthian hints to it 😮
Yes! He is able to channel Allan Holdsworth like how Robin Trower does with Jimi Hendrix.

agreed 33 is my number 1 album
33 has a very “naked” rawness, it’s like it has the purest Meshuggah essence for me.
I'm actually finding personally the Immutable is s close second to it, even though it's mostly less intense
still probably my favourite metal guitarist, just so unique
Perfect example of minimalism being perfect in context
Wanted to like the comment but can't ruin the 33 likes
Perfection is perfect, is it

You'd need a load of music theory to make it sound with many Fredrik-ness though
Thank you so much for this!!! The official video was deleted
No problem man, I have no idea why they would delete it. The audio in this clip isn't the best but it's better than nothing!

@@johannrajan3279 Oof that does totally explain it
I believed the original video was deleted because a parody made by Ola Englund where the solo of Mr Thordendal was mixed with a Disney backingtrack... 🤷♂️
@@FranHn1982 Ola didn't make that parody, Richard Daudé did.

I love the ever onward and continuous solo
Stunning work brother, masterful, tasteful, GOD DAMN
This solo is beautiful 🤘
Saved this years ago and still run through it on my Playlist every so often. Love his solos
My fave track on the album. Great played
that was amazing
I can meditate to this

@@alexday4118 yea it can if you understand the tempo and groove patterns
@@alexday4118 This is still a bit calming to me and many others as they have even wall of sounds that doesn't change drastically, it just "moves".

God damnit Meshuggah is just too fucking good

the guitar looks so freaking mean. its awesome
beautiful solo
love shed
Ohhhh really thanks for re upload this treasure!
j'adore j'adore j'adore j'adore
That guitar omfg yessssss
А ты знаешь это же шедевр без обмана по этому лайк с ходу!!!👉👍👈💯
very good music & solo perfect thanks for do it
I love when you use shred at the absolute minimum and just drop in some savagery out of no where
The perfect album.
That's cool, but now I wanna see Fredrik do the "Fard" solo.
That Thordendal most replayed hump at 2:34
“Like that”
We all know that Rick is their fan hehe.
They are like godflesh meets king crimson
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
If the new solo album consisted of stuff like this😩
Very Holdsworth very good
*This* Swedish Viking *is definitely one of my top influences on the 8-string guitar along with* Tosin Abasi *and* Dino Cazares.
all amazing guitarists
this song would be a cool in game music for a ninja game fighting demonic zombie cyborgs
ninja gaiden yaiba z?
Luckily, even more bizarre, it’s the soundtrack of our lives.
I know they don't play this live. I guess they just drop tuned for that section at 2:04 while tracking? Because he's obviously playing that low F as an open string during the intro.
@agent0-1-02 oh that totally makes sense. thanks
Does anyone have the actual settings of the mothership he is using here?
Isn’t this Mårten Hagström’s model?Fredrik used signature 8 string version of Ibanez Iceman?
The guitar in this video is an Ibanez M8M, and it's both Fredrik and Mårten's signature guitar. They share a signature model.
But you're right, a few years ago Fredrik also got another signature, the FTM33, which is the Iceman you're talking about.
bow bowwww
I never noticed the triplebucker on the guitar on the wall behind him
Legend before djent
They made Djent man ! Haha
@@anthonykindzia4511 yah.. Them fight time of tempo . We call out off tempo .
What happened to the pigtronix video? I miss that creepy pig floating out of nowhere at the end
wonder what amp he used here, maybe axe fx?
He shoulda played the solo on the V behind him woulda broke the internet lol
I cannot play with rings on. especially an 8 or nine string.
Mepoogah
Wish they would've took a better shot of these settings
💪 P r o m o s m!
hi evan
Skull reaction
@@justevan877 woah there buckaroo
lml
there was literally 2 seconds of shred and the entire rest of the video was odd syncopated timing
perfect
Indeed.
its says shed not shred man
Perfect.
Your timing needs to be goddamn proper to hit those linked whole notes at the start of the solo
Its hard to be a lead player in these types of bands.
there is only one of these types of bands
@@LS-pe1rr no other comes close to them
Lead is easier than rhythm.
The FX Edge III-8 'bridge' on those sucks, just use a Hipshot & call it a day.
Why? With the edge it looks like a ferrari
a little bit borring. he could do just a little bit more
Solo it's either the shortest and longest Solo in history or I'm missing 100 notes that should be in this song but it's wasted on only like six or seven notes this is straight boring give me your equipment and guitar so I can use it for something good
what ever equipment you have you are no one, mediocre, garbage on yt comments and his is legend, living genius
Someone isn't jazzy
Go and listen to Guns & Roses
Go and listen Dragonforce
