  Well I've been doing lots of lessons here on GMC but have not done any full song cover lessons yet. Well this is gonna be my first full song! Gonna start on this as soon as I finish my current lesson.

  Maybe I'm wrong but when I listen to the original song, I think I'm hearing odd time signature???
- Marcus Siepen5th April 2010
  Thanks a lot everybody I love System of a Down, Mezmerize and Hypnotize are among my alltime fave albums, so this one was a lot of fun. Since many of you commented on my sound in this lesson, I used my Axe FX Ultra again, with 2 different distorted sounds. I recorded 2 rhythm tracks with one sound, panned them left and right, and recorded a third take with the second sound and panned it in the middle, I will upload the sound presets during the enxt days, so whoever wants to try them, just check my section here in the forum. Oh, and that Les paul is not a Supreme, it is a classic And about S.o.a.D.'s time signature, they didn't record that song with a click, so their tempo changes all the time, I played it with a click though cause I had to rpogram the drums

  Great lesson but I get the right sound when I hammer on/pull off on a different fret....
  
  Whys that?
- Darknodar1235th April 2010
  Sorry sorry..... I didnt even bother to see the description
  
  Just saw the different tuning
- Hisham Al-Sanea5th April 2010

  Nice to see another lesson from you Marcus! Your tightness is impressive, which I was even half-way there. System of Down is not one of my favourite bands but you made this interesting. Thanks Marcus
