does your brain compute this lick ?

Pretty standard metal riff and rhythm, use palm muting.

The stuff he plays before that from the beginning is more complicated really.

 

Yeah the notation is weird, but hearing it it doesn't seem as complicated. Try beating it on a desk or doing it with your voice, it doesn't seem as complicated.

 

how did cookie monster get to sing so high?, his underwear must be too tight! just kidding

 

Those are some triplets that are throwing you. I don’t know that I agree with the tabbing of that rhythmic structure.

 

to me it sounds like a rumpa-tump-tump-tump, rumpa-tump-tump-tump rhythm borrowed from military music - the rhythm of a snare drum in a marching band. what he's playing seems to have at least two variations - different versions of that sort of rhythm - but the idea of just beating out the rhythm with your strumming hand sounds like it might help; got a drum around?

the tab is weird..think there is a back stall of a sort..a pause a back pick..it looks like he wrote it out as a triplet then 2 single note..its the pause/timing i believe that makes the rythmic thing happen..when we do this stuff live, i stand right over by the drummer and lock in

 

Whatever genre, if you are having a problem grocking a complicated rhythmic figure, get the rhythm first ... by muting all the strings with your left hand and use the muted strings like a percussion instrument ... just pick or strum the rhythm on the muted strings until you sync up with the video. Once you can "drum" the rhythm perfectly, add the notes.
I find that easier and faster than trying to get the notes and rhythms at the same time.

 

hey quick idea, look up hardcore..metalcore,type beats and play along ..soon you forget you are playing and it becomes a natural in sync reaction to the beat

 

This track reminds me why I don't like metal.

 

i like metal

 

The notation has that riff split in measures in a weird way which looks more complicated.

 

I used to be into punk and hated the high pitched vocals of 80s metal, I like a lot of it now, not really most of the well known bands but a lot of underground bands.
