[hotlion81]

Good playing and very nice articulation!!

[doobiouscannibis]

[rotrhxc]

[jv188508]

hell yeah that song sounds dope man

[ssseeezzzeeeerrr]

nice tshirt rip dime

but u re not enought man sorry bad cover try to better because u missed some notes good luck

[DimmeDriver]

What program did you use to put those movies together?

[MrDoomreaper]

dude tuning is your guitar? drop D i guess? or just standard chords

[NiKsiN7]

@MrDoomreaper it's just drop D for this song :)

[horny0donkey0]

nice cover. pantera sucks.

[lucky13srb]

@horny0donkey0 your mom sucks

[horny0donkey0]

@lucky13srb i dont have one :P:p

[lucky13srb]

@horny0donkey0 oh sorry, your brain sucks. do you have that?

[Brutal90Death]

You could use more your pinky :)

[R3dMaN234]

Put a video up of you playing and prove me worng. and the term noob is only applicable to gaming moron

[StopGettingOnMyWick]

holy fuck sake!  Jackson~~~

[AsceticVoidTraveller]

Noob, this guy sucks put the guitar down n quit

[R3dMaN234]

@AsceticVoidTraveller wow just becasue the music you listen to is bad doesnt mean you have to go bash everyone else. besides where are your vids of you playing this song or guitar for that matter?

[AsceticVoidTraveller]

@R3dMaN234 You defend bad music, You are bad than, Noob, You are a fool good day

[pearloid01]

not bad!tip of the day. tune up before ya record anything,play along with the cd whatever!!!great song keep praticing

[gnool]

Watched this video to see how you played the first soft riff... turns out you have trouble with it too :P Other than that it sounds pretty sick, nice work.

[shandaweely]

that was gr8 dude .. good job ;)

[scoobydooing]

your are an excellent guitar player old chap

[Polak88Pobo]

lol nice job, u look lik my friend

[fukinshyt]

what kinda amp u usin man? it might help if u cut ur mids all the way down and lows n highs up most of the way. btw one of ur strings was deffinately off . other than that prety good its a tough song to get perfect

[NiKsiN7]

I'm using a 5150 in that vid :)

[o0oFIZZLEo0o]

@NiKsiN7

alright well i have a 6505+ which is just the relaunch of your amp. use these settings:

pre-10

low- 9

mid- 2

high- 10

presence- 6

resonance- 6

[marktheshark87]

Midcut sounds like shit. And besides that.. have you ever tried playing live without mids? The Bass will fuck with your lows and cymbals will fuck with your higs.

His sound is fine the way it is.

[NiKsiN7]

thanks a lot!

[grindamadurin]

incredible cover man, you've got some mad skills, 5/5 and two thumbs up

[kickasskirby69]

im more of a B.C. Rich guy myself. but i really really like your cover!! so now i want a jackson! lol you cant ever have too many guitars! ohh and 10/10 btw!!!

[NiKsiN7]

hahah too true!

thanks!

[vactuk]

Hey you have a great tone, and the cover is so good too!

Are you using a Jackson Dx-10 Flying v? I have the same but Dinky model. Right now I'm not using it more cuz I bought a Cort Zenox Custom, but I've enjoyed so much with that guitar :)

[NiKsiN7]

Thank you!

Nope its a Jackson King-V KV2! Ohh I've never heard of Cort :S

but yeah jacksons are very enjoyable :D

[NiKsiN7]

Hahaha! Thanks man! Hopefully we'll get some shows this summer, I'll give you a shout if we do!

We're also looking for a singer, so if you sing/growl, or know anyone who does and might fit our style, hit us up ;)

Ooo acoustic blackwater park! Sounds interesting! I'll definately check it out if you ever put it up haha!

[NiKsiN7]

actually theres 2 more! lol I forgot! Funeral Portrait, and Coil :)

[NiKsiN7]

Thanks! Yeah I really needed to improve that, I'll keep working on it! Besides, fingerpicking is always a useful thing to be able to do.

Check out my profile, theres one more opeth cover up, that I made not too long ago :) tell me what you think :D

[DiamondDimebagDarrel]

yes...definetly...it's not easy to fingerpick...altough i know how to quite well cause i'm playing classical guitar too for almost 6 years now...but it's not easy anyway...if you want...there are exercise for right hand(for fingepicking) and it helps a lot...i have whole book...so if you're interested i can send you some of the pages...

by the way really good cover...

[xXxbatcountryxXx]

i recommend you get a good chorus for your peavey 5150's clean channel

the clean on 5150's isnt the best

great cover though

[NiKsiN7]

yeah i think thats what im gonna do!

thanks!

[evanrayberger23]

i used to have that jackson props go to you on the cover

[L33tm4st3r]

your tuning is slightly off and your tone is all wrong for this song. you should work on your pinch harmonics a tad as well. Those are my only complaints. Overall a decent performance.

[highvoltagestudios]

those jackson js230s kick ass i was gonna buy one myself but the my parents are full of crap so instead they made me get a shity squier strat since it was the cheapest thing they could find

[ragggggy38]

you should save your own money. lazy faggot, not make your folks buy one

[JacobSijsma]

lol omg, your parents :P ?.

I got a worn out 300 dollar fender telecaster on an old bakelite case non-tube amplifier by vox. And I can play death metal on it.

So accept what you got, and stop being somesort of fat mtv - "sweet sixteen" kid, that gets everything they want.

[xAngelofRazielx]

Amen.

[JacobSijsma]

mmh mmh...

[Darkruler21]

Nice job man!! I wish i were that good =D

[Undead8881]

boooo

[RedWingedAngel]

The acoustic passages need work... your fingerpicking isn't consistent across the strings yet and you missed some of the changes. Distorted riffs were good, though your left-hand muting could be a little cleaner. The phrasing on the solo was lacking, but it's the finishing touches on technique that are the hardest ;) Keep up the good work!

[bigbird7331]

But - still great playing.

[ollav3]

u should train ur fingers a bit more ;) thts the advice i give you... try playing more on ur acustic and ull b a master on a elertric one =)

[0ftheWALLS]

your playing is amazing, but if u can fork out the cash for a 5150, plz buy a tuner pedal man

[bigbird7331]

I can't help but think the reverb is fucking w/ the sound. This isn't recorded off the line-in. That's for sure.

[suh1289]

dude this is one of the best covers of opeth on youtube.... u really made it look easy!!

by the way what software did you use for the split screen thing??

[NiKsiN7]

thank you very much!

I used sony vegas

[chassless]

how did you get that tone? thick strings?

[NiKsiN7]

Nope, I use 9's. Tone is from the 5150.

[chassless]

awesome =\ i know what to get next...

[mullaniumman29]

this is one of my favorite songs. Nice job. Maybe play a lil lower.

[Alejandro4891]

what pick ups do you have in that king v?

[NiKsiN7]

just the ones that came with it, seymore duncan JB's

[ELiTCAT]

great playing, and great editing, really good job dude :D

[NiKsiN7]

thanks man! :D

[cyrrusdavirus2]

Hey mate, its all cool on the rhythm I'd say. Keep working on those parts where there's more lead and its gonna be insane. Are you using Sony Vegas for the editing ? And nice tone btw.

[NiKsiN7]

Thanks man! Yep, sony vegas :)

[ezcheeze591]

some mistakes but who wouldnt have them in such a brilliant song. great cover!

[asnguitarfrk93]

What is this tuned too?

[NiKsiN7]

Drop-D

:)

[asnguitarfrk93]

Thanks man, great cover by the way.

[SRdrummer]

Not bad! SICK FUCKING SHIRT!!!!!

[muzcu]

really good work!

[KosDem]

pantera rulezzzzzzzzzzz

[DarkSwordlessLink66]

no offense but your guitar sounds like shit. pretty good playing though

[Mannifighter]

Mhhh..... guess you should improve your lead- playing. The single notes are much too.... ehm unclear... (can`t make up the word Englishmen use for this ^^°). But your riffing is really good, your acoustic-part needs some improvements concerning the chords.

I`d love to show you my tryings of playing this song, but one first needs a camera -.-*.

[IDR2k]

Awesome Tone, and the video was put together really well, and of course your playing is excellent. Nice Job

[NiKsiN7]

Thanks!!

[jobformax]

SALAD FINGERS

[timekillerrr]

dude this is the number on funnest song to play on guitar nice job

[MetalShowdown]

where did you get the tabs for this??

or was it by ear?

[NiKsiN7]

some of it was by ear, and for the rest I got tabs from ultimate-guitar

[stumply]

great cover dude! all was perfect except the acoustic interlude needs work.

[PawnSacrific3]

Very well done, keep up the good work!

[ycicle]

Very impressive, nice work! I love the split screen too :)

[RatedRKingofKings]

I'm very impressed specially with your work on the acoustic parts. Man, hands down 2 ya!!!! You kick some serious ass

[katathilo]

pretty cool, man!!!

[christillusion78]

ahh fucking nice dude.

I couldnt play this song if my life depended on it haha

great tone as well, I was thinking of gettingthe 5150. I see it has great distortion and am still wondering, how are the cleans on the amp?

thanks :)

[NiKsiN7]

Thanks!

The cleans are ok, not THE BEST, but with the right settings you can get a bpretty good tone out of it.

[noogan3]

dude,

you kick ass man it must be the pantera top:P

[134paintball431]

thats sic, thats the best one i've seen so far

[rezza12345]

Holy Crap man!

Out of every cover song i have heard, this has to be the best!

a billion out of 10!

[DDisHereasOne]

Holy shit this is the best Opeth cover I've seen yet. nice work!

[NiKsiN7]

Thanks alot! :)

[suffer2sin]

you like alot of the same music i do :p.

Opeth ( my idols), Gojira, Decapitated, Amon Amarth. nice man. im very picky with my music so its nice to see some one who likes most of the bands i do.

[Ectopussy]

Nice shit man, fingerpicking's a little sketchy, but for the most part, its a dope cover.  I wanna see you do something off Watershed soon.

[NiKsiN7]

haha thanks! im on vacation for the next two months, so I wont have a guitar..which sucks. But when I get back,I´m gonna do one more off Blackwater Park which Ive got down already, and then I´ll try and figure out something off Watershed :D

[carissaisinflames]

i love this song! thats fucking epic man, when im feeling down about my crappy skillz i can always pretend thats me playing the guitar haha

[NiKsiN7]

lol thanks! and I´m sure youve got great guitar skills! :D

[fimr16]

dude its that a black kv2 or a metallic black kv2 cuz im think about buying one but i want a nice color :p

[Hippiedude909]

Very nice dude, I can't fingerpick for my life. :P

[IntoTheEternity]

FUCKING SICKNESS. I love the Split Screen Parts man... Especially that little acoustic lick. It's simply Epic...  I'd have to agree... this is one of the best Opeth Covers out there...

[NiKsiN7]

Thank you VERY VERY much! :D

Check back in a week or 2, I'll hopefully have a new Opeth cover up! :)

Cheers!

[RyanLVMetal88]

awesome kingV. good work.

[Yeagin]

Freakin sweet cover man. that dark clean part is hard to play eh. Nice guitar aswell =]

[LordHines420]

nice work! tip: the low chord u do around 5:30 on is off by a note on one string.

[triggerman6]

FUCKING PRO DUDE. Straight up... one of the sickest opeth covers out there.

[NiKsiN7]

Thanks alot man! Glad you liked it!

[somega666]

Love it, split screen was awesome idea.

[toolshed111]

Wow that was incredible, and kudos as well on the editing.

From what I can tell it was flawless. Great job man.

[NiKsiN7]

Thanks man!

[BoredToDeath92]

You were veeeeeery goooood this song is very hard and you accomplished it allmost perfectly congrtulations 5/5*

[NiKsiN7]

Thank you very much! =)

[MindlessHobo]

nice cover, split screen was a nice addition

[NiKsiN7]

Thanks! :)

[ArchEnemy789]

Great cover!! Opeth is AMAZING, and this is a truly epic song!!! I love the tone the 5150 gives. Hopefully getting one soon!!

[NiKsiN7]

Haha thanks! Yeah man, youre gonna love it!

[basssungwoo]

How did u afford that Kv-2?! i have an rr3 which is kind of like it.

[NiKsiN7]

saved up any money I got... and eventually saved up enough to buy it :P

[BrianRoppel]

where did you get your tab, all the ones i've found are garbage

[NiKsiN7]

Got it from ultimate-guitar, but I just figuered out any parts that didnt sound right by ear. But the one on utimate guitar was pretty much perfect. Just make sure take the ones that have a high rating...

[joesdmf]

would u possible do out a tab? im not really good by ear lol i can kinda figure it out with the vid, tabs n ear but its not right n doesnt sound half as good as urs.

btw twas an awsome cover \m/

[NiKsiN7]

Thanks man!

Sorry, tabbing it out would take me toooo long, just check ultimate-guitar, they have quite a few tabs for this song and their really accurate. Hope this helps :D

[joesdmf]

no probs man i downloaded guitar pro n looked at the tabs from ultimate-guitar n the guitar pro 1s are miles better lol and with ur vid i can play along with it llf

[zekatrekafiufiu]

Good effort!!! Needs more work to tighten the thing, but you're on the right track!!!

[NiKsiN7]

Thanks!!

[Hellnezuela]

weel done dude, cheeers from venezuela!

[TMA2]

not bad, not bad (well, except for the fingerpicking, but i can't do that at all anyway :p). i like how you overdubbed yourself in certain parts, cool idea.

[NiKsiN7]

lol, thanks!

[syko150]

WOW That was great

[alaa13666]

[NiKsiN7]

Thanks!!

[idub]

Amazing tone

[themoor666]

sounds good man, I like the sound of that amp

[NiKsiN7]

Thanks! Yeah the amp has amazing sound, it sounds 10x better when you hear it in person. :)

[themoor666]

I'm actually trying to get one off Ebay right now, I checked out your video and a slew of others on youtube and then tried one out at guitar center (actually I tried the 6505) and I liked it so much it's about to be my main amp. Keep jamming the opeth man!

[NiKsiN7]

Yeah, ebay or craigslist is probably the best way to go.

Good luck man!

[ManquellerDiva]

thanks for suggestion. Good luck too ;P

[Dollarsdukk]

the clean part in 2:43 needs loooots of practising

[milkmanswifestits69]

WOW!..yu n ya twin brother play really well together.

[bigestville]

Man u have kv2 and 5150.Try to play better that!U always touch other strings and play dirty.

[opethiandeniz]

Great Guy =)

[dutte07]

wow your guitar is awesome! a jackson kv2 black!!! cool

[M3talRul3zz]

pretty good... video quality not so good tho

[roofcrash]

what a fuckin neck that guitar has ..... the best!

[NiKsiN7]

yeah I love it!

[stracyann]

WOW

very very niceee

YAY

[takenoprisoners90]

hey how are the cleans on the 5150? by the way opeth rules =]

[NiKsiN7]

the cleans are ok, not the best, but their not too bad if you find a good setting. I cant really compare them to any other amps because I haven't really tried any others for their clean sounds. I mainly bought this amp for the lead channel, for the distortion. If your looking for an amp specifically for cleans there are better ones out there, but if its just an all round metal or rock amp then this is great.

[takenoprisoners90]

ah ok, cuz i've been looking into these amps, there are plenty of used ones on the market right now, i can deal with the cleans, i'm mainly interested in the lead channel too

[NiKsiN7]

yeah the lead channel is AMAZING! great for metal. plenty of overdrive....and great sound!

I'd get it if I were you! :P you'd probably be able to get one for around $500 on ebay or something. You wont be dissapointed if you get one.

[takenoprisoners90]

I'll have the money in a month, these always show up on ebay, thanks for helping me out

[NiKsiN7]

no problem, glad I could help!

[Cityundersands]

DEATH

Nicely done, i liked it.

[forthepillsinme]

This video... All I can say is that this rock! You are born quitarist! Keep it up!!! And I liked the way u edited this too! Really good job!

[asdasdasd12354]

Woah, great playing! Wish I would be as good =S I also liked the way you edited the video. 5 stars.

[ZePhYrWaKeR]

That's a great song and who cares what shirt he's wearing.... Listen to the music.

I really want a Jackson too, I heard they made amazing Metal guitars and this convinces me even more.

[NiKsiN7]

Yeah the Jacksons are AMAZING. Really good quality, fast and comfortable neck, and the V looks awesome^^

[gosengo124]

DUDE YOU ARE INCREDIBLE

[maggot2005]

Very nice job, both on the guitars and on the editing of the video!

[MetalMarie]

Yes! love how you did every part and put them together, keep it up! it's awesome

[jetacid]

Awesome job again! Keep up the great work!

Your fan,

Jet-Acid
