What is it with all these fucking covers, why do you people think that we music lovers want to watch somebody covering someones song on a homemade video and why don't you tell us its a cover so that we don't click on it and waste our time. Nice playing ok but its not what i clicked on for, jeeeeesus.
I've been watching your vids for the last 2 years and have loved every one of them. Opeth are the epitome of musical freedom and you have captured the soul of it beautifully. Keep up the great work.
Hey Pizza, thanks for your beautiful comment on my Opeth videos. I'm glad that you have watched them through because there has been an improvement in quality overall over the years. They are such amazing songs that captivate and intrigue, so wonderfully. It's a privilege to be able to play some of them.
@Maxito4321 Thanks, I'll try it sometime and see what happens. Can't promise I'll post anything but you never know. It should have an Opeth feel to it, that's for sure.
Hey RachelFury, just wanted to say a big 'thank you' for watching and commenting on my videos. It's great to hear people's reactions to this music. Very special indeed. Close to finishing a new one.
Hi Sedicion22, thanks for commenting. Yes this one took a lot of work, even though it is only 3 guitars this time. Please check my other Opeth covers when you get time. Thanks again,
hey eezerian....that was great...you actually helped me with my performance.....i like to write poems and lyrics, not copied from other musicians, but my own...i like to do that so someday i can be in a band.....but that track is my favs and you actually helped me out with my poem.....
thanks eezerian...i hope you can do one of serj tankians or system of a down.....
that would be cool! (100000000000000000 thumbs up and thanks :P)
Wow, this has just much as feeling as the original, even without the vocals. How long have you been playing? I wish it'd sound that nice when I played it :(
Hey thanks placebo, I'm glad you enjoyed my cover. Been playing for over 20 years and still improving. Keep going with your guitar and good luck with it...
Thanks Q2K2008, yeah I've been in the same position with some of my posts already uploaded by others...it can be frustrating sometimes but you just gotta get them down and get them up. There will always be something to enjoy, the writing is so sublime. Thanks again for checking out my vids man.
Thanks Dorfnite for your kind words man, I'm sure they would appreciate it and it would be nice to think that one of them got to see it. Doesn't hurt to dream does it? Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks LordAchilles, I'd love to do an acoustic tribute in the studio and release these beautiful songs but that is so far away right now....sorry man, but I do appreciate your comments very much.
That's a beautiful comment BlackRoseImmortal, difficult to know what to say, I really enjoy playing them and I'm pleased that people seem to really like them. 'til next time, thanks
Well done, was taking ages to find a proper cover on youtube. You're the first one I see who's copied it accurately and played it without annoying mistakes. Good job sir.
Thanks Vingtcent, and also for commenting on my other vids. I really appreciate it. Yeah Patterns I has a couple of areas I'd like to have gone back and re-done, some of those high notes could have been clearer too....nvm. Thanks again.
Hi Nathaniel, it was 911 I think, but I always make small adjustments to the tabs as I play through them. The intro for example was written in a way that I didn't think sounded as it should so I changed it a bit. I don't re'write the tabs as I go, and a lot of people ask me about tabs so I guess I should start doing that. If I do (re-write) I'll let you know.
Thank you for commenting Derek, that is very kind of you to say....would be awesome to hit the studio with these songs, but that is so unlikely...*sob
I had the original playing through my headphones and recorded three seperate tracks playing along with the song. The Sony Vegas program then lets you 'align' the three tracks so they fit together. Did you like it?
Thanks Dad/Mum, yes this one's quite a bit easier than some of my other stuff. Still, good song and I think the sound quality is much better than the last one. This is just getting to know the new program, ready to unleash Melinda. Glad you liked it.
Wow, excellent. I am absolutely going to watch more of your stuff. You are very good and as an older man you impress me and I respect you for your playing. I don't get to see that many older guys or girls playing music i like. :D very good! Keep it up.
F**K dude!! this awesome!!!!..thx for send me the link...you're brilliant...dude the vocal line is aweome!!...plz dude can i have the tabs for the vocal line...'cuz is AWESOME...and the guitars also sound amazing...sick video...perfectly synced for me...greetinhs from el salvador man...bye man...ill waiting fro more..
LOL.....thanks for your enthusiastic response to my new video Giyermo, your comment made me laugh. I was really pleased with the end result of this project. I will tab the vocal line for you (all parts) please send me your email address and I will get right on it.
I will do more, especially if it continues to get responses such as this.
Hmm thanks for the link, it's really great playing as always. The only problem, is it takes forever and a day to load up on my net for some reason :S.
Thanks for commenting Grigeral. The file size is about 88MB so that could be slowing you down(??) but I've had no trouble from this end, what's it like in "high quality"? Thanks for supporting my vids. More to come...
Wow, amazing cover. I'd decided yesterday to learn this song myself, and today was looking at the different versions on Youtube - yours is by far the best.
I'd never heard of Gilet guitars before, and yours has an excellent tone. What model is it? It sounds better than my Martin DX-1, even through Youtube's compressed sound. I can only imagine what it sounds like in person.
Not sure what's next on your agenda to learn, but how about Hours of Wealth, Credence, or Coil?
Hey Shawn, thanks for your kind words man. The Gilet guitar is very beautiful but there is no model as such. This one was selected from a series of six guitars that he made in 1993. I played all 6 of them and this one just rang out (but there wasn't much difference to be honest). It has a Spruce Top with Brazilian Rosewood back/sides.
Next.....not sure...Coil appeals at the moment. Thanks for the suggestions.
very very nice work there! I was actually searching Gilet guitars, and I love opeth too. strange, but really cool that I found both in the same video!
Thanks purpleshoes, awesome connection with the Gilet guitar. Man I've played this guitar daily for 15 years and it's tone blows me away every time. It seems to enjoy Opeth's music too.
Hey Superball. Thanks for your kind words man, I really appreciate it...however I think the only genius in this mix is Mr Akerfeldt himself. I just really enjoy playing his music and I keep finding new ones to play.
Thanks Larz, it's good to hear that you liked my new video. You never know how it's going to be received when you put a new one out there. I messed around with some new video features and had a great time putting this beautiful song together. 'til next time.
Thanks pyro, yeah some of their songs just seem to fit really well together on nylon, I can't really describe it, a song like this needs softness and nylon provides it in spades. Man I'm pleased you liked my new vid.
