I'm not the best on fast picking, sorry for some mistakes, but overall i think we're good. Good song for stamina, fast picking, rhythmic accuracy on fast tempos. The first part is probably the hardest, along with the constant 16th parts. If you need to, go slow for practicing. I think transcription is accurate enough, some positions may vary. Song is highly riff based, but all coming from a C# Natural Minor Scale, harmonized in 5ths all the time (except for voices of course)

Absolutely love how the bass backs the electric guitar in this song. Such a will written song.

Holy shit I am insanely happy to see this. Any more System or Primus covers would be nice. Even Mr Bungle too

[wanderblitz]

John Dolmayan and Shavo have the best chemistry, the fast picking technique of Shavo plus John Dolmayan's blast beats equals to an epic headbanger!

I tried to learn this song about 3 years ago. Found out so hard to play. But now, I can play like it's very easy. I really love playing bass guitar!

[aqimjulayhi]

I really love how punchy your bass tone sounds. Makes hitting those tight notes feel really good.

[gildrop]

This is a pretty killer awesome baseline. Gonna have to learn it now

Just watching this makes my hands tired. Probably a good endurance exercise.

Ooh, some SOAD! This sounded really good, and I wouldn't at all mind some more if ever you're deciding what to upload next

[BungleGrindClown]

Yes finally another System Gracias Señor

[ansahr]

Very good cover ! Don't generally like changing the standard tuning, but when i'll do it, it will be to play some SOAD :D

[shigakari]

Very good, uma das minhas músicas favoritas.

[palio]
