"We have 'Straws' at Home" (short Meshuggah piano cover)

This Thanksgiving, I am grateful for my family and for the solo from Straws Pulled at Random. It is about 20 years old and it is my all-time favorite 2 mins of music.
(I got very sick and missed my chance to see Meshuggah last night, so I recorded this instead.)

That random time Meshuggah plays in straight up Dorian

[@NemesisDestiny]

When listening to Meshuggah for the first time, this is the part that sold me on just how amazing they are. Gives me chills, your version even more so. Not many bands can produce a visceral reaction like that.

[@dongkhamet1351]

Much appreciated how you put in the crunch at the very end there.
Good attention to detail.

[@MittensOnly]

This song, specifically this part, is what tied the knot between Meshuggah and I
So much emotion in one lick

[@AlexLesmash]

Just astonishing, the most beautiful and warm part of their music

[@xXxWeesnaWxXx]

This, and The Last Vigil. That song is more cold than warm tho haha

[@dani_montoro_gtr]

don't forget acrid placidity... one of my favourites

[@Nightowllowry]

Thankful for talented people like you!

[@Thorneman_]

Straws has always been an especially striking piece of music for me too, sad to hear you didn't get to see them live. I'm sure there will be other opportunities though!

[@Birnbaam]

great rendition. really makes you focus on the music 😛
no but really, this is beautiful ❤

[@umblapag]

[@iamscythed]

Absolutely my favorite song by them.

[@jopezu]

[@a_a_orlov]

Great performance!
What about some Tool covers, bro?

[@SequoiaSounds]

Beautiful rendition, Sam! ❤

[@jumpcrashjump2544]

Oh man, that's absolutely beautiful!

[@EdenPorterMusic]

beautiful, does the original justice

[@TheMagicCuber]

Also I’m sorry you got sick and couldn’t see Meshuggah. I saw them on the 6th in Cincinnati and they were incredible, plus I’d never listened to In Flames before they opened for Meshuggah but now I have several of their songs on my playlist :)

[@jaimefuster5059]

Awesome cover! I'm sorry you didn't get to see them, I hope you get another chance soon!

[@KadeKalka]

So sad you couldn't see them, hope you feel better soon! This is beautiful!

[@BoaeCH]

Should definitely do more of theirs

[@guitarmane1276]

[@BillyPalmerMusic]

Lovely

[@arsonistd2822]

I would love to learn this piece!

[@neuroticon]

This is perfect. Maybe my favorite part of Meshuggah's music and you nailed it. Congrats!

[@regenerate5390]

Very special song, and you made it magical as always!

[@hernansaid4742]

Incredible ejecutation dude. Thanks for made this cover again. I was found your channel thanks to your old full version cover of this beautiful song. I was impressed with your playing of metal on piano.
Everytime I see more new covers of this song and my love to Meshuggah, and Thordendal's art, increases more and more ❤.
Warm hug from Arg 🙏🏻

[@brbqsauce]

Rubato not allowed on Meshuggah tunes XD
Still sounds awesome tho! I loved your interpretation of the solo.

[@maxwellingersoll8046]

Thank you so much, I grew up practicing piano and have been an avid Meshuggah fan for years. I appreciate your work

[@magusmelanie828]

I'm liking just for the video title (but great cover tho!)

[@TheMagicCuber]

Do you plan to do any of the songs from Immutable? If so, may I request Ligature Marks? 🥺

[@jsabbott0]

Eventually!
