Notes

Studio recording, 2007-2008 for the album 'obZen'. Meshuggah used Fractal Audio Axe-Fx Ultra for all amps and effects, with song-specific patches for solos. Guitar is tuned F standard with long scale length. No evidence of analog pedals or real amps on the studio recording; all tones are digital via Axe-Fx Ultra. Solo tones are distinct patches separate from rhythm.

Difficulty

The solo in 'Bleed' is considered expert-level due to its relentless speed, intricate rhythmic patterns, and technical demands on picking and muting, requiring advanced skill and endurance.
