Opeth in the Guitar World Studio

[guitarsehole]

Check out Fredrik in the "Mojobone" live clips. Fucking awesome!!

[MrFrancox44]

mikael doesn't need to play jajajajaja

[givemeajackson]

akesson is a monster.

[fetusjuice]

Freddrik's style reminds me a lot of Marty Friedman.

[TrueMedMantle]

@fetusjuice Another Legend!!

[SoundMusicVideo]

The world may never be the same after this one !

[mozartfx1]

That's it? You couldn't ask them, how many guitars do you own...favorites....first guitar....influences.....what are you listening to.....anything?  Nothing? Why even put this up? Waste of time.

[SpartanLaserCanon]

Thumbs Up if you think after watching this video that Fredrik Akesson should have done way more guitar shredding in Heritage

[JoeyThe14th]

@SpartanLaserCanon i suppose prog rock isn't about shredding - i dont really listen to prog rock too much but from what ive heard (tubular bells, pink floyd and the like) there isn't that much

[jabberwocky1969]

@SpartanLaserCanon Fredrik is a mere employee of Opeth. That band is 100% Mr Akerfeldt.

[Bomberz3]

Best 44 seconds of my life... Well, except for last night. :)

[Augenatic]

wow that guy's really good lol

[Death66reaper6]

"more to come from Opeth in the next few weeks" that comment was two months ago. I DEMAND OPETH. NOW.

[lucaballesi]

opethhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ♥

[JamesGod08]

Opeth are shit, but he can play

[urbman29]

@JamesGod08 What words did i just see you text?Opeth is shit?WHO THE HELL RAISED YOU.GO BACK IN THE WOMB

[superball57]

M O R E

[rambache]

FREDRIK AKESSON'S SIGNATURE PRS SE GUITAR!!!!!!!!!

[MorbidHumanity666]

Opeth needs to be on every guitar magazine cover and needs at least one long article, maybe a transcription and some good photos in every issue for the next 6 months please.

[sporkcrx]

opeth rules

[GoodOldDeathMetal]

Damn I didn't know Opeth's lead guitarist could shred that hard.. hes got a real Marty Friedman vibe going on. I dig it

[4everRock666]

TONE <3



[TheMrAdax]

I'm worried that Fred isn't getting his shredding fix in Opeth and will leave. It looks as though all he wants to do is Solo like there's no tomorrow.

[jabberwocky1969]

@TheMrAdax Check him out in the band Krux.

[MMAFANtastic]

akerfeldt+razor= house lol

[jhop5150]

Boy, that Henrik Zetterberg sure plays a mean guitar.

[Crometeef]

Fredrik has some mean vibrato!

[MetalOfAllOwns]

im soo glad Fredrik is in Opeth now :D he did wonders in Arch Enemy and now he will do much more wonders with Mikael in Opeth <3 great blues solos in Watershed i cant WAIT FOR HERITAGE !!

[live2shredguy]

what guitar is that?

[SeattleDude1108]

@live2shredguy Its his new signature PRS SE model, its pretty sweet

[FunkMuker]

Damn I never realized how good that fredrik guy was!

[thekalamalkakid]

i wonder what guage strings he's using....because it's a 24.5 scale! damn that's short =\

[ultimatepaper]

What issue will Opeth come out in?!?!?!?

[on3n1ght3r666]

@losrogers13 kill yourself

[yourmomsfavoriteguy1]

@RtasVadumeeKostas go kill yourself dude

[Soilwar]

@RtasVadumeeKostas: Worst joke I've heard this year.

[PennyDreadful1]

@RtasVadumeeKostas I wasnt too entertained by them live either.

[metalvocalistwanted]

\\m// (^_^) \\m//

[thecharliesence]

does anybody else notice that in all the warming up videos they all ways have a blackstar amp?????

[TheMetalKid9]

Im just glad they got more time than that douchebag that does the metal columns

[Farout5150]

That fuggin lick @ 00:34 is the SHIT!!

Very kewl climb, etc.

[notarealperson87]

Hi, we're Youtube. While you listen to this incredible musician play his guitar, we'll be sure to throw a banner ad over the video so you can't see the guitar or Fredrik's fingers.

[Obliaxe]

Lol, not being a troll or anything but, isn't it funny when a metal shredder throws a blues lick out of nowhere in the middle of a 3 octave sweep hahaha, and then it's just pure madness again! :P, jk jk, still that guy is pretty damn good. :)

[Brad81188]

what pickups are Freddrik using?  stock?

[nugma]

Fredrik doesn't usually pick like that, does he? Looks kinda Friedman-ish.

[Xberzerkerai]

Not sure if it's just the lighting...but this guy looks sunburnt as fuck.

[IrishRocker7710]

Man that's some awesome guitar playing, I just wish opeth had a better screamer -__-

[MyEverConstantSmile]

@IrishRocker7710 You must be out of your damn mind.

[apophis135]

@IrishRocker7710 He is my favorite screamer/growler! It amazes me that he can sing and scream that well

[IrishRocker7710]

@apophis135 hmm maybe I'm thinking of someone else then.

[lighteningboy]

woah, some serious guitar playing! nice

[mothowl]

"OPETH" - 21st century Kings!

[djg0603]

Blackstar <3

Nice vibrato and axe he has there!

[JYZProductions]

looks like if Guthrie Govan and Jeff Loomis had a baby for their hair haha.. can't wait for the new record.

[hillysats]

I love his SE model..

[mongoose979]

he's got some pretty mean vibrato action . . .

[n83inflames]

fredrik is having gay butt secks with that guitar aka raping it

[primusdude87]

@n83inflames secks?

[sujaybarad]

The most epic tease ever!!!

[heavymetalmastr]

Please guitar world upload more of this and no more misha. This is what we want.

[billmeedog]

Great Playing - Great Tone - Great Vibrato!!!

If you 're from Sweden, you automatically have BITCHING/KILLER vibrato.....Sure seems that way - LOL!

(Maybe it's the "Yngwie-factor!")

[Megadedly]

Why are you putting them in Guitar World? bands like Opeth shouldn't be available to fans of Gay7X.

[mihanich]

mmm me love opeth

[dimebag975]

MOARRRRRRR

[lzmiranda]

Finally GuitarWorld is going out of the bluesy-hard-rock-shred circle.

[MultiJacob123]

did you steel chuck norris finger?

[twang41]

I think i just Jizzed in my Pants

[lralbrecht]

wish i couldnt hear some much of the acoustic picking... great tone..

[0ivo0]

44 sec only???

[TechieRefugee]

@0ivo0 I know; that's only like 3% of any one of their songs!

[guitarworld]

@0ivo0 More to come from Opeth in the next few weeks...

[manmeteencoolenaam]

@guitarworld When?

[ThrashMetalSonata]

@guitarworld well, we are still waiting.

[veeragandersucks]

@guitarworld WHEN???????????????????

[andrasellendersen]

@veeragandersucks When can I take you from this place?

When is the word but a sigh?

When is death our lone beholder?

When do we walk the final steps?

When can we scream instead of whisper?

When is the new beginning, the end of this sad

[SolSilence]

@andrasellendersen Madrigal

[MyScaryScrotum]

@guitarworld Unless by few weeks you meant 3 months, I would enjoy some Opeth guitarworld exclusives relatively soon. Thank you.

[imonyourfacewoot]

YES OMG YES :D

[leopower7]

why is his hair like that?

[LordOfThisWorld74]

@leopower7 Apparently, that is how he likes it.

[RasecKnarf]

Opeth rules!

[smacman68]

Man, I love these guys. A fresh take on an established genre. \m/

[DrEviscerator666]

I bet the room was shaking like a Earthquake with such talent in it, If Mikael grunted the building would had collapsed!

[ElectricTurkey1]

Does anyone know when Fredrik's SE PRS is coming out?

[Videostar1another1fa]

Awesome!Opeth's best guitarist yet(except for Mikael,of course)!

[ViperRose1978]

Fuck Ya! Akerfeldt's mustache is GOD!!!!

[theflavasava2]

dope

[Benawisan]

fuck yeah

[MartMart]

awsome



[drawnacrol]

Can't wait to catch them this weekend at Sonisphere

[wafflsha]

@drawnacrol hell yeah! gonna be awesome! :)

[SomethingWild9608]

I still miss Lindgren :(

[MGMT1580]

Fuck yeah.

[kakabulle243]

106th!

[bobspie4]

PRS woot woot. more and more people are using this guitar. is it any good?

[AdariUK]

YES - finally someone worth watching on GuitarWorld.

[xTheWorldNeedsAHerox]

@AdariUK Screams or no screams, new Opeth seems promising. But not over the top for the sake of it. Still soulful. Still original. Still authentic. Unlike gay7x or some trendy soulless filth like that.
