@Blaine465 Thanks for commenting on my video, the POD X3 was responsible for the tone but took ages to work out. More videos on the way over the holidays so it wont be long. Thanks again for watching my stuff...
@BlackRoseImmortal861 Hey, thanks for your comment on my cover. I'm glad you enjoyed it, I'd hate to ruin the original masterpiece. Took a liberty or two here and there but overall I'm pleased with the result. Thanks again
@NoThoughtControl1992 Thank you and I hope you're getting through this one ok. I may post a lesson or two on it in the future. I appreciated your comments very much.
@HemeHaci Hey Hemi, thanks for watching my covers. Yes the acoustic parts were what drew me into Opeth in the first place, didn't take too long after that for me to pick up an electric after 20 years of nylon and classical music. Thanks again man.
I don't know why i took so long to listen to listo to Opeth's heavy songs. They also have their mellow parts and it's own unique beauty, I'm glad I finally took the time to listen to them. Also, your cover is GREAT, keep it up!
@scottie0904 Hi, thanks for watching and commenting, great that you appreciate the 'cover' aspect rather than covers with the original running in the background. That's the part I've enjoyed the most, piecing all the parts together, sometimes only 2 and sometimes more guitars at once, it's wonderful. However what I have difficulty with is getting hold of good backing tracks of just drums and bass that sound like the original. I was lucky with this one coming from the UK
@imagesandturds lol...thanks. Glad you enjoyed my cover. I have been playing classical guitar for over 20 years but I'm self taught, not what you would describe as classically trained because no-one's ever taught me. (Besides a couple of casual teachers early in the piece) so it's just something I love doing. Thanks again for watching, I just posted a new one.
This cover was soo exceptional. All i could feel was emotion and pure melody. outstanding.. i know requests probably come all the time. and weve heard alot of Damnation, Blackwater park, Still Life.. but theres one underrated Tune that no one ever covers or youll never ever here it.. and that is from the My Arms, Your Hearse album (my fav) The song Madrigal.. its sooo beutiful and so short yet underplayed and under covered.. its only 1:26. Please do it Ezeerian ! If anyone can you can :)
@MetalOfAllOwns Hey, thank you for your comments on my cover and for watching my vids. Good suggestion re Madrigal. I'm guilty of not giving it enough 'airplay' on my own rotation of Opeth's songs, but it is so beautiful. Haunting and unusual...I've been listening to it these past few days and I'd love to give it a go. The 'delay' effect at the start is hard to get right but I'm working on it. New one not too far away. Thanks again
@eezerian Yes, Madrigal definetly is Haunting and Unusual :) thats why i love it so much.. it's definetly the black sheep of all the Mikael Acoustic melodies.. thanks for giving it more of a listen and definetly for trying to give it a shot.. that "delay" or w.e he does to it definetly is a hard part.. its the perfect intro into The Amen Corner.. which is such an amazing track.. if your interested i just did a Dual guitar cover of Demon of the Fall. if you would like to check it .
i'm wondering, why you didn't made an acoustic version from this song. i try this and hoped, i could get some inspiration from you and your great work. still an exzellent cover!
@Hatschepoth Hey, thanks for commenting on my Opeth cover. I always had this song as an electric and acoustic combo, to try to get the right feeling across would have been very difficult on just acoustic. The solos wouldn't have sounded as good I don't think. Thanks again for watching my vids..more to come.
@fatcuffy Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed it. You can't really go wrong when the writing is sublime like this. I wanted to cover this one from the first time I heard it.
@forcebinder LOL...Lindgren was fantastic in this band. I suppose I share the same finger length, but I'd kill for his locks!!...lol. Thanks again forcebinder, I'm pleased that you enjoyed my cover of one of their greatest songs. More to come..just uploaded a series of videos explaining my version of "Face of Melinda". When you get time.
Great cover men i am Odin from mexico , realy is amazing , i hope you see my video the patterns in the ivy and give me your opinion , result very interesanting for me thanks
WOW that was awesome i try to play it alone in my classic guitar but i cant :( i cant play the first and second part but i cant go ferther(i know its not spelled like this but i am greek and my english suck) anyways do you know where i can found the tabs? or a guitarpro5 file?
@bloodyz16x24 Thanks for your thoughts on this one. I don't have tabs but I will do a full tutorial on it in the near future. I've just posted a series of vids that explains how to play my version of "Face of Melinda". Check it when you get time. Thanks again, your English was fine BTW.
You do the best acoustic Opeth covers on youtube. I feel like you definitely put all the work and emotion thats necessary into these songs. Fantastic cover!
Hey thanks for commenting Burgah. I suppose the layering and editing has been as much of a part of the learning here as the playing itself. Such a great project to work on, I was sad when it was over in a way. Cheers for watching and sharing your thoughts.
Hey Grigeral, man you've been watching my vids for ages (thanks so much) and it's a pleasure always to hear from you...all the best and loads more to come..hehe
Brilliant, Eezer, just brilliant! I look forward to your lesson, I learned the song months ago but didn't really get some parts like the the second solo...
Hey Faxe, thanks for checking out my vids again and commenting on my latest cover. Such a great song this, never thought I'd manage it all the way through. Lesson will follow but my next lesson (Face of Melinda) is almost done.
Hey Hellboy, great to hear from you again. Oh yes, a PRS would do nicely round about now, and a Laney stack to go with it. On the original front, well that would be something. Not really in the mix yet, but you never know. Thanks so much for watching my videos again. More to follow.
AWESOME TONE ON ELECTRIC! :] what programs do you use to record and what are your system specs?
I kinda like the two acoustics in the previous video just a little better instead of the electric/acoustic, but its still perfect in this. have you thought of putting a band together similar to this style?
Hey darkbarrage, thanks for watching again and sharing your thoughts. I used a setting on my POD that said "Ghost of Perdition"...lol...had to be used across the board for this. Programs I use for recording are Cubase 5 and Sony Vegas.
I have thought about a band (tribute) but no-one I know has really got the same passion for playing this music. Some of my friends like listening but I don't think they're interested in performing it. Would be awesome though.
Thanks for watching and commenting again, I like this version much better too, at least you can hear it without having to crank your speakers. CD would be nice too. Actually, if you wanted an MP3 I could email it to you. Sound is better on that, on rendering down for the video there is a significant audio loss. Pls let me know and I'll be right on it. BTW, did you get my tabs on Patterns in the Ivy I? Can't remember if I sent you those, if not I can email too, I'd just need your address.

Your classical playing with fingerpicking skills are way beyond metal playing with a pick which makes acoustic parts more memorable in your covers.
