      i love how humble he is. i think his genius comes from his "limitations" as he is _technically_ not that complex, but instead works around odd time sigs and bar pushing by simplfying it down to a count similar to the way this is described. in an interview he once said that he is counting very simply and i guess all the extra notes are played almost subconsciously. what amazes me is the way he maintains such power and heavy strokes, there are no ghost notes, only full strokes. its all about the patterns

    Dude this has so much work put into, it's amazing! Love the Host / Guest analogy. Been waiting for so long to see something so well dissected like this and I hope people realize that this is genius level analysis!

    I’m going to vote for dancers to a discordant system, even though it’s not an option :3

    You've got my sub! Rhythm seems to be a neglected topic by many music UA-camrs, so it was great to see this breakdown of an incredible song.

    You sir, deserve a medal!
    The massive bomb at 10:02 is pure badassery!
    What a killer riff!
    Awesome video! ❤
    Edit: MAYshuggah? 😂
    MAY the shuggah be with us all!

    Dude, such a nice and thorough breakdown. I usually just brute force my way trough these songs and try to figure out the cycles via repeated air-guitar sessions and it works - but your visualizations help a lot! In fact, I also group certain parts of Meshuggah songs together and count those. It's really funny to confuse other people and musicians with your own numbered understandings 😁
