Meshuggah Bleed

Does anyone have any advice on learning the pattern seems really confusing because it shifts across the beat

There’s few people that can break down a rhythm better than Yogev and still make it entertaining

The song was originally called aneurysm.

So take some Tylenol before you sit down to play this one

Do you have any tips

Just like anything else, get the hours in under your fingers. Get familiar with the herta pattern by playing along with a 4/4 click/drum beat at a speed where you can cleanly execute it. The herta needs to be squeaky clean above all else.

In addition to what @ineedaclutch said, once you familiarize yourself with the herta rudiment, try multiple right hand techniques to see if one matches better than another with your style. By that I mean two vs three fingers, or even a pick. It’s a challenging rhythm to begin with, and even more so at the songs tempo.

In my long musical life I have learned a new word today: herta! Sounds cool. Never heard anyone use it before.
