Opeth's Fredrik Akesson "Deliverance" Lesson

[ChevelleMalibu402]

thinking about getting his signature guitar from PRS, anyone have it?

[TheStavrin]

Monster riff !!!!

[RisingEternity]

enter sandman is in there..... :/

[untilitsleeps087]

the only difference between that little riff that sounds like sandman it a major 3rd instead of minor thir which tallia uses,...o yeah and the rest of the riff lol

[untilitsleeps087]

@untilitsleeps087 third*....Tallica'*

[zeilothmaster96]

Nice lesson, thanks :) I to make guitar videos :)

[JohnGuitarSolo]

Beyond an great magazine

Wishes you all well in the new year

[metalhead02904]

Did anybody else hear enter sandman in that 0.25?

[notarealperson87]

@metalhead02904 i do now!

[GettinGuitarded]

@metalhead02904 please this is way better than enter sandman

[djukicuros]

@metalhead02904 hahahahahhaahahhahahahahahha funny thing it is totaly different from enter sandman, and way better by the way.

[cpamiseso]

really? he's using a PRS-SE? hell no...

[Djobohobo]

@cpamiseso he's trying to sell that shit.

[rambache]

@cpamiseso Yeah, its his new signature PRS SE Fredrik Akesson Model with Tonepros wraparound bridge.

[cexo123]

What tuning is he using?

[zxLOTUSEATERxz]

@cexo123 e standard

[SantomPh]

@cexo123 he's in EADGBE, standard tuning. The low pitch sound comes from the effects and amp he's using, rather than a downtuning.

[Kenlac92]

@braddelsonFTW Made me choke on my oreo.

[musicmaster555]

I never thought Chromatic stuff could sound so good, wow... Gives me tons of ideas to jam with

[KINGOFKINGS611]

thats as heavy as it gets when it comes to chords

[WhiplashSeattle1989]

loose G-Strings FTW!

[SHIofficial]

Squeal Piggy!!

[hiitsmcjosh]

1:57 "loose G string" OLOLOLO

[SnackAttackO1]

signature elements of opeth... riffin

[beefhasslehoff]

Finally something by opeth that doesn't suck. The last few opeth videos were trash. I like akesson better in arch enemy

[disturbedbass49]

good guitarist, but HOLY FUCK THAT IS THE WEIRDEST LOOKING PERSON I'VE EVER SEEN

[frostcleave]

@disturbedbass49 lold

[mikedegraz]

nice lesson...OPETH RULES

[ChefJeremy2001]

that riff is just a progression of bad ass... i totally didn't expect it to sound that cool after the first few seconds with that chord!

[alconsirra]

Dissonant chords don't really sound that good on a cheap amp/distortion. If you have a decent amp with good overdrive it sounds a lot better.

[alkalinetrio751]

ive seen him live he is an awesome guitarist

[kablorte]

This guys is retarded

[Braydsy]

@kablorte nice one dickhead

[matyasd88]

good lesson

[mashafasha5]

That is a beast of a riff.

[YonOtto]

Amazing riffing, gota love Opeth. Still Life best album.

[DerekBallesty]

It never fails to amaze me how much fun Opeth's tunes are to play. They always seem to think outside the box when composing metal riffs.

[Nameless164]

Freds signature PRS is pretty damn nice, I must say.

[todd8333]

Squeel like a pig, that all I think about when I here Deliverance :D

[auroradamien]

"loose g string" Best quote ever.

[TurtleyPompato]

Sexy shit, you've gotta admit.

And it does not sound like fucking "Enter Sandman"... Please.

[whitelotus808]

Quentin Tarantino plays guitar?

[Synnergy08]

I only like the sound of sliding up to the 12th fret on the low E string.

[AdvancedBBear]

@Teddyjohnson1990 Pussy fag bitch cunt cocksucker buttfucker asshole cum dumpster. See? I can type like an uneducated retard too.

[FCValle]

wow i love prs

[OneNoiseMusic]

that sounds horrible!



[Zwikster]

I thought this was going to be a metal version of the dueling banjos from the MOVIE Deliverance! ahhaahaaa!!

[RasecKnarf]

DAT TONE.

[spartajacs]

it sounds like sandman but better XD

[AdvancedBBear]

@Pirouette007 Oh no! My feelings are hurt so bad! Fat is the best insult you can come up with? I know I'm fat and I could give a shit less, especially coming from some pussy on YouTube.

[AdvancedBBear]

@jabberwocky1969 Or I could go listen to metal that sounds good rather than this shit.

[TeddyJohnson1990]

@AdvancedBBear GTFO.By the way Bullet for my valentine isn't metal you fag.

Opeth destroys any band your pussy ears ever hear.

[Nameless164]

@AdvancedBBear Are you kidding me? Opeth IS metal. Metal with class, unlike what most passes for "metal" these days.

[MALSIV]

What the fuck happend to youtube :c

[AdvancedBBear]

I'm not hating on this band cause I've never listened to them but this riff sounds like shit

[MALSIV]

@AdvancedBBear Listen to the whole song, makes more sence then.

[jabberwocky1969]

@AdvancedBBear OK, you can just stick to 1-4-5 blues on a 4-4 beat .. now go away.

[pirouette007]

@AdvancedBBear coming from a fat kid who listens to Suicide Silence.. BAHAHAHAH ...stick to ur "sick bands" man fuck yeah ! fat fuck

[SomethingWild9608]

Man I hope they play heavy songs on their next tour; the outro to this song is fucking massive live.

[BrendanHerr]

Does he have gills or just look like a fish?

[DinoandDansMusic]

@BrendanHerr neither.

[diabeticmonkey]

Anyone else find it weird seeing him explain this, especially since it's an old one?

[AnthemsToTheWelkin]

@diabeticmonkey He has to know these songs off by heart, so no it's not weird.

[jabberwocky1969]

@diabeticmonkey Admittedly, on this most recent tour they played almost nothing old except for some obscure ones.

[ItsStephenSON]

@Godwin117 riff*

[Godwin117]

that lick is fucking tasty

[xmusicfeverx]

The first chord is just an F# diminished without the b3...?

[shreddy412]

@xmusicfeverx They call it a tritone because the other note in the chord is three full tones apart. In this case it is two octaves of F# and C. Sounds fancier than it is.

[plujinbeibe]

Menudo coñazo de concierto que dieron en Bilbao.

[DeadlyDictator]

Deliverance... i was thinking "YU GOT UH PERTY MAUTH"

[Ralphioli]

no dislikes in a GW video, oh wow

[metalvocalistwanted]

"im pretty sure the first chord doesnt exist"....? o.O wtf....where to begin xD

[ForgetTheForgiven]

0:52 - 0:54

Sounds like the Enter The Sandman intro riff.

[legoguy816]

9th!

[Frostadevil]

6th!



[damnation1928]

2nd. LOL

[ricsi152]

I'm pretty sure the first cord is doesn't exist and ithink it sounds horrible

[pirouette007]

@ricsi152 it doesnt sound "horrible" at ALL on the album.

[DeanFromHell1993]

@ricsi152 it exists it´s basically a f# tritone chord, and it´s extremely evil :D

[mojo94eca]

@DeanFromHell1993 that's right, in the medieval time the tritones

were forbidden. thanks f_cking catholic church, thanks because

you made everything SATANIC and kept away the people a millennium

from the science and until from music.

[guitarlad89]

@mojo94eca are you done yet? good, don't bring religion into this.

[rumblefish85]

@mojo94eca No... Thank you Catholic church for forbidding tritones, because if they didn't it wouldn't be awesome. Heavy Metal needs the church, otherwise what else does it have to rebel against?

[mojo94eca]

@rumblefish85 they only want stupid and zombie people who falls in

that game of "everything except us is satanic"

[JustTVinc]

@ricsi152 Just so you're aware, any combination of notes is a chord.

Every single chord "exists", and they all fit somewhere in music.

[joesimmons90]

@JustTVinc Well, 3 different notes, anyway. Otherwise, yes.

[MrPatrickFallon]

@JustTVinc

It has to be 3 or more. Otherwise it's an interval.

[zxkevkop]

@ricsi152 Welcome to tritones.

idiot

[iEADGBE]

@zxkevkop Dude ur not an idiot for not knowing a chord..

[mattmorron]

@zxkevkop way to be a dick to a begginer... would you do that to yourself as a beginer>

prickbag

[domonichimself]

@ricsi152 well my friend...do you have ears. i mean if you're watching this you should know dissonance is a trait of Opeth.

[JeffHanneman82]

@ricsi152

it sounds "horrible" because the distortion sucks!

[John19Morley93]

@ricsi152 If it can be played, it exists! If you listen to music you'd surely know that :L

[Sodacake]

@ricsi152 of course it exists you retard.

[n1ll3r]

@ricsi152 I figure you've read the other comments by now, so you'll know it's a tritone chord :)

But there isn't really a chord, that doesn't exist; as long as you play 3 notes or more in unison, then it's a chord.

[tjompiskompis]

@ricsi152 It has excisted for centurys... it was forbidden to play in churches in the middle ages, and beacuse of it's "evil" sound, it was called "The Devil In Music"

[jabberwocky1969]

@tjompiskompis heard the flat 5th was called the "Devil's cross." Being a Christian, naturally, I'm very interested in working this into my stuff ... as a sort of counter-point it is awesome ...

[1withguitar]

@ricsi152 it exists you moron. a three note chord is called a triad, or tritone, learn some music theory you bum.

[jabberwocky1969]

@ricsi152 Just break away from Top 40 radio and Beatles tunes .. you'll get it.

[livio1396]

@ricsi152 then how come he's playing it if it doesnt exist you retard...

[element5333]

@ricsi152 It's called a "diminished" chord, something you probably haven't heard of because you live under a musical rock, so to speak. The chord is a triad with a minor 3rd and a diminshed 5th. That's pretty much it.
