On May 1, 2008, when Swedens technical metal giants Meshuggah came to New York on Ministrys C-U-La-Tour, guitarists Fredrik Thordendal and Marten Hagstrom (above left and right, respectively) stopped by MetalKults Manhattan headquarters for a video interview and riff lesson.
Meshuggah were also touring in support of their latest album, Obzen, which was released on March 11 on Nuclear Blast.
In this rare footage, the guitarists talk about their eight-string guitars, extraterrestrial solos, challenging polyrhythms, and time-signature misconceptions, before demonstrating how to play some classic riffs from their catalog, including Rational Gaze, Bleed, Electric Red, Pravus, New Millenium Cyanide Christ, The Mouth Licking What Youve Bled and Future Breed Machine.
Check out all this death-tech goodness below!

7:37, "in reality that should be like...". Haha, I like that those guys refuse to stay in reality.

I like how the views scale down from 500k to 332k to 146k for part 3, because people realise over the course of the videos they still have no idea how to do it like meshuggah.

I swear that when i heard pravus i could hear the in between rhythms. If you don't know Meshuggah's style then it's hard to hear but I would vouch for all Meshuggah fans on this one. We hear you.

Concatenation is the perfect example of when things are too fast and the details are lost. The slower version on Rare Trax is crushing.

These guys are awesome, taking regular patterns and messing with them, making them more complex and unique.. that's why I love their music!

Love how they show what they do without a technical explaination. They come at it from an artistic veiwpoint, talking about the sounds, and grooves rather than the math involved. It's really important to have them on here correcting mistakes that people have made while transcribing their music! If I played guitar I'd want to know what they actually laid down.

And let's not forget the insane long scale (29.4"), a huge difference compared to conventional guitars (24 3/4" or 25.5")

I feel so bad for him when he says his rhetoric about why they write things if no one hears it XD he almost sounds so crushed. little character quirks in songs like that are my favorite part of them, and it even bothers me when my friends don't hear them cause they don't listen attentively.
