    _______________________________________________________________
    This is a cover of Meshuggah's 'Dancers to a discordant system' taken from the 2008 album ObZen. This is one of my favourite songs and also has some great lyrics to go with it.
    I kept to the original minus a few minor changes which you'll probably hear (just spur of the moment dumbery) aswell as a totally different solo (which isn't on the video as my camera didn't record when I did it!)
    You'll see it's on a 7 string instead of 8 (most of the song doesn't need an 8 string to play, I wanted to showcase my new Mayones Duvell Qatsi Juice Burst which was already setup for F tuning so why not!)
    Gear:
    Mayones Duvell Qatsi Baritone 7 String
    Bareknuckle Nailbomb/Cold Sweat
    Hannes Piezo System for the cleans
    Line 6 Helix
    Steinberg Cubase
    Canon EOS600D with 18-55mm lens and natural light
    Adobe Premiere to edit

    Seeing that you rest your pinky against the top string when picking as a support makes me feel so much better cos I've been doing that for years and since deciding to work on my right hand technique I was told by someone I was doing it wrong and should have my fingers all tucked in tight like a fist, I found this counter intuitive and it was a bit disheartening to feel like I might have to take a big step back and relearn - seems you should just do what works for you and keep practising. Big love John you are a huge fucking inspiration
