    Lesson Series - How Meshuggah Choose Which Notes to Play

    Hi all! Almost all lessons on Meshuggah focus on their rhythms (for obvious reasons!) but I've rarely seen discussion of their note choice. I've created this lesson series that's designed to give you an idea of the way they write their riffs but it requires no previous theory knowledge -...

    Tabs for everything I played - Cloudkicker tabs.zip - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download - Dan Crawford (I did the covers on a 7 so they're tabbed for a 7, notes should be correct for a drop tuned 6, but you'll have to do the transposing yourself.) Hope you guys enjoy...

    Help with PODxt reamping

    The PODxt pro can be reamped simply, but it seems that the PODxt requires trickier work-arounds. If anyone has the patience to describe in "Re-amping for dummies" terms how best to go about this or viable alternatives, I would appreciate it greatly. :)

    Meshuggah in fast forward (guitar/drum cover)

    While I dread posting any guitar/drum jam material when this thread - http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/general-music-discussion/88197-bulb-periphery-matt-halpern-and-bulb-jamming-live-drums-engl-invader-2.html#post1546341 - is extant, I suppose I might just summon up the nerve to post this...
