Don't use tabs, dude. They're wrong, almost always. You're in music school, build your ear up. You're sliding down from the wrong fret in the first riff- move that up a half step. The second riff is totally wrong, it's a mix of both channels that doesn't actually exist- listen closely and hear the two distinct guitar parts. You're not picking the clean part right, you're leaving out the G string. The last two chords in the riff at 8:12 are wrong also. C-G-B (on 5th string), A#-D-A (6th).
Haha I blow raspberries when I cock up too, seriously tho Opeth song structures and the fact they last generally more than 7 minutes make them a very hard band to cover. Well done.
Rock on! I am going to use this to get a friend of mine into Opeth who isn't into death metal vocals... and then spring the original on her later when she falls in love with this (-;
Also, I like your take on the solo. Yeah, you missed a note, but it was natural sounding!
you did great! you played a lot of the song quite differently from what I do, still you made it sound good. the solo wasn't awful, just a bit more different than the original. norsk you say?:)
That was sweet man!! Good idea slowing it down too!! I'd say if you hadn't looked up when you made that minor error in the solo nobody would of noticed!! =P
Where did you get those tabs btw? I have some guitar-pro ones but the solo just doesn't sound right, and you played it well different so I'm guessing yours is right!! Sounds amazing anyway man!!
I had som guitar pro-tabs for guiding.. None of the tabs you can get off the internet are 100 % accurate, so you have to listen closely to what they play.. trust your ear rather than trust the tab.. Oh, and the solo was done only by ear, so it's full of mistakes.. couldn't find a good tab for the solo anywhere
@finsmi I've been playing for about 7 months and I'm really starting to hate tabs for bands like Opeth but also my inexperienced ear. I can't hear much. Got any tips for training the ear? It's just so hard to hear past the 2+ layers of guitar playing different parts and all the distortion and Mikael growling like a demon :(
Your school is awesome! I wish I could get exams by playing the guitar x)....btw great played!
