Meshuggah - Bleed - 7 String - 1 take - Scott Carstairs

Meshuggah's Bleed is probably one of greatest metal songs ever written. I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate my 30th than to push my limits with a song that has inspired me since the moment I heard it. I hope you enjoy!!

check out my band FALLUJAH

[davidcosgrove]

the tone is a huge flex, dialed in to the "absolutely no room for mistakes" sound....you killed it (and your forearm I bet)

[chrisgnineil]

Listened so often to that song and i am still fascinated by this Riff. Great Work.

[HeavyMetalHalf-Wit]

I feel like no matter how much I practiced I could never have the stamina to play this song. Dope cover my dude.

[GoulashMike]

Dear Scott Carstairs,

You are the man.

Sincerely,
Mike

[salladnothing]

Always impressed, good shit man, one of the hardest rhythms to do over and over like this imo. Forearm of steel.

[politisdimitrios]

Just watching his right hands causes me a tendonitis!

[ryanschindler]

Very sick man, love the ballsy approach of dropping the gain so you hear all the acoustic flubbery and chuggaz. Gleam~~~~

[insectilehomevideo]

Fuck yeah brother CRUSHED. How sad would you have been if you missed that DANNYK at the very last note hahaha

[encroachingchaos]

Transposing that one riff that's normally on the low F string with the double hertas was too dope

[Chris-ejzz]

0:52 don't think I could ever pull such a perfectly played rhythmic section in my life

[ragnulf_gamer]

The day when I am able to play Through the fire and flames for lead, and Bleed for Rhythm, is the day when I'll reach absolute salvation. Superb playing man! 😄🙌

[Ruddy]

Awesome cover dude! This tone is on point!

[DoppelgangerOfficial]

Crushed it dude. Happy birthday as well!

[celtic_knot]

Planning to study this a ton! Wanting to learn Bleed on my 7 string for a while now because i dont have plans to get an 8 any time soon. Thank you for posting!

1 take: the difference between an actual pro and most youtube guitarists.

[sciomancy]

It's cool to me having watched you work on this one on the Twitch streams. I remember the Discord jam session where I think that was when you first went through the entire song and didn't stop. Many gleams, many streams. You nailed it!

[GibberishPoetry]

You can just tell he is feelin it while playing this! SO good.

[rickc]

Mighty impressive! Now I see why Lethargica is such a welcome follow-up for one's poor right hand!

[kennedysanguyo]

thank you for giving me a hope, that i can still able to learn it with 7 string guitar.

[MattLarscheid]

Somehow you make that right hand look effortless! Phenomenal work as always!
