Face of Melinda - Opeth - Instrumental

[SirOpethBlackwater]

Pure awesomeness!

[DiaboliStigma]

You blew my mind away... All of the Still Life album is wonderfully written, and this version of Face Of Melinda si absolutely pure... Amazing work, cheers :)

[danimerol]

Im so very impressed about your accuracy and perfom man. This is one of my favorite songs. I just think you should improve the sound mix a little bit more. Regards! from México

[pombaralha]

brocançaa!! Muito linda!

[hauntedsausage]

hey dude thta was jaw droppingly good i would like to do drums to that for you i may only may be 14 but i would like to give it a try and i dont know if i have that much experience but at least consider it :]

[G35saregod]

u had some off notes in the beginning with the classical, but WOW when you started with the electrical were you off! And by off i mean your tuning was pretty bad; it was not the same as the classical and it was too high. Other than that, nice job mate!

[MrHeavenslord]

i came......

[mrdeathamore]

This one is hands down the best music cover on youtube. period.

[eezerian]

@mrdeathamore Thank you for your comment on my cover of an amazing track. This was so much fun to put together, more Opeth to come from me. Thanks again

Eezer

[kotapainting]

I love how it takes 4 guitars at once to cover an opeth song accurately, even with as badass a player as this guy

[eezerian]

@kotapainting Thank you for commenting on my cover. The parts are wonderfully written as with all of Opeth's music. Hail Mikael.

more to come soon

Eezer

[0x4d65726b]

One of my favorite Opeth songs and you killed it. Nice job buddy! :D

[OfficerBigJoey]

makes me want to buy a classical guitar now instead of the piece of crap acoustic i use. so beautiful

[Curbst0mped]

this is fucking amazing keep up the good work man !!!

[Turmoi11ed]

Beautiful job, love the video edit and everything, I am in tears

[Turmoi11ed]

Beautiful job, love the video edit and everything, I am in tears

[dashmaul]

Eezer, I bow to your excellence!

Behold the minstrel !

[BringerofDeath3]

Love the cover. My only recommendation is that you might wanna use the bridge pick up for the distortion parts.

[maynard789]

Dude, this ist INCREDIBLE, my jaw is really dropping down on the floor... I would record vocals to it, but it actually would ruin your work with my questionable voice, it really doesn't need any...

[eezerian]

@maynard789 Thanks maynard, I'm glad that you enjoyed my cover. Regarding the vocal thing, quite a few people have asked for no vocal line so for the next cover I make I might upload a secondary identical video but with the vocal part removed. Thanks again for watching and commenting.

Eezer

[XRasenX]

Son, look, a clasical guitarrist!

[deadsoul6666]

wow 

[lugator]

Excellent man, you are a real master in guitar!!

[joseazevedoribeiro]

Amazing..Very good taste choosing this band to cover ;)

[Sinclaw]

this is just simply epic....

[platypus2501]

Very beautiful!!! Perfect

You're great man, I saw all your videos

greetins from Brasil

[adil36]

amazing. thank you sir

[DivisonOnFire]

Amazing cover...most covers sound a little off, but I'm pretty sure you got it all perfect.

[wishing4nate]

Dude, you're in beast mode right now. You are truly an amazing guitar player and I couldn't have thought of a better song to cover on nylon. Simply put, jawdropping.

[inlacrima2013]

first time ive heard this song on nylon, i prefer the sound of steel string on this song but u made it sound awesome anyway and u play really clean, very nice

[Dimebag08RIP]

Amazing technique, you play so effortlessly but with such emotion. You Sir have a new subscriber.

[jsannazzaro]

very good!

[Midwintertears13]

Brilliant cover. :D I'm definitely going to check out your other Opeth covers.

1 person missed the like button. >_>

[anubis1335]

Great job man

[luanmn89]

Epic! You've done a great job!

[ColllldSteeeel]

Simply amazing! :D

[industrialm]

i am stuck in the heavy verse :S

[Auvardur]

Nice cover! I like this song, and you make a good version with guitars replacing the vocals.. Kinda noisy distortion at the end, but that's cool. Continue what u do =)

[eezerian]

@Auvardur Thanks, yes the distortion needs work. It's a great song indeed and one that I worked on for a long time to get it to this stage, well worth it.

Thanks again for watching and commenting.

Eezer

[DarkSavantPhoonzang]

I totally adore your cover, face of melinda is my favourite ballad by Opeth and you totally hit the mood of it. It is amazing how you put together the different guitar parts in the video. I can't wait for the teaching video you are planning to do. You're an awesome guy. I wish I was that talented xD

[eezerian]

@DarkSavantPhoonzang Thanks so much for watching my videos, that's great that you enjoyed it. The tutorial is not too far away, just struggling a bit with the harmonies. I didn't write any of it down when I worked it out last time so it's taking time. I want to post something that is as accurate as this video at least, some improvements have been made since. Won't be long. Thanks again

Eezer

[mesaboogie404]

This is the greatest thing to ever come out of a guitar.

[eezerian]

@mesaboogie404 That's very generous indeed, thanks for watching my videos and I appreciate your comments very much. New one not far away.

Eezer

[tharandom1]

could i also have said tricky verse? :P Seriously though, that'd be awesome.

Nicely done, btw

[stumpygremlin]

This is unbelievable. It's perfect...

[eezerian]

@stumpygremlin Thanks for watching. Please check my channel for more Opeth covers.

Eezer

[McRib64]

This is absolutely incredible! I was literally stunned while watching this, outstanding work sir.

[eezerian]

@McRib64 Thanks for commenting. Sorry to take ages to respond. There will be a full tutorial uploaded in the next day or two.

Eezer

[HemeHaci]

@eezerian Man,where is the tutorial? I am looking forward to it. Great job by the way, awe inspiring!

[eezerian]

Thanks RuhRohOreo, it's one of my favourites too. Cheers for watching and commenting. I'm still blown away that people are enjoying these covers so much.

Eezer

[GrevMivlos]

2. verse is very tricky to get a hold of when trying to learn this song.

You...did...well.... 5/5 as usual. Good job, very inspiring

[eezerian]

@GrevMivlos Thanks grev, tutorial not too far away now.

Eezer

[MaxReinsch]

Don't have a rough tab of this do ya? Some parts i'm really struggling with.

Great video btw.

[eezerian]

Hey Max, I don't have full tabs but I have written out the infamously tricky 2nd verse. Please send me your email address and I'll send it along.

Thanks for watching.

Eezer

[MaxReinsch]

Yeah, the second verse is what I'm after. =D

Cheers mate!

I'll message you my email.

[juchel]

i would like the super tricky verse, ARGH haha

[Rohtie]

You are awesome!

I love how you play the different parts together with yourself :)

I kinda miss the bass, hope you'll include it next time :3

+fav and +sub

[eezerian]

Thank you Rohtie, for commenting and for subbing/faving. Yes the "whole song" idea really appeals to me. I enjoy working out the vocals on guitar. Still improving all the time.

Thanks again

Eezer

[grimoirium1]

this is great! I'm looking forward to listen other songs from you.

[eezerian]

Hey grimoirium, thanks for watching. I've just posted a new one, man I enjoyed your vids too. Keep it up

Thanks again

Eezer

[Sedicion22]

[eezerian]

Thanks for watching. I am still working on tabs. I recently posted a tutorial on 'Benighted' if you'd like to check my channel the links are there. More to follow very soon.

Eezer

[guitarsorrow]

brilliant performance

[eezerian]

Thanks, glad you liked it. New one not too far away.

Eezer

[perfectbreedband]

we play some opeth cover...but you're amazing!!!!

Guitar is an alhambra??

[eezerian]

Thanks perfectbreedband, I'm glad that you enjoyed my arrangement. The guitar is a Greg Bennett, nothing special but it has a pickup so I can record easily. I'll check your too and thanks again.

Eezer

[triviumecj]

awesome job... you are now obligated to cover more opeth songs

[eezerian]

lol....thanks for your response trivium, oh yeah...there will be more. New one very close now. Thanks again

Eezer

[RAGEBRO]

Damn good.

[eezerian]

Thank you for watching and commenting, Ragebro. More to come, plus I'm almost done tabbing this one.

Eezer

[dervishspins]

@eezerian You're going to post tabs that you made for this song? If so that's really cool, and I'd if you sent me a link to them!

[Hiteryan]

Awesome work there :3

[eezerian]

Thank you for watching Hiteryan. Glad you liked it. I certainly enjoyed playing it. Tabs are almost done.

Eezer

[nnoovvaannddii]

oh man, you just did a fantastic job there. Love this song very much...thanx to this album I became a member of so many fanx when this album apeared. Wow again, respect your play very much !!!

[eezerian]

Thank you for commenting on my video nnoovvaannddii. I always wanted to play this one and I'm glad that you enjoyed my playing. I was lucky enough to see Opeth in Brisbane last week and when they started to play this i went beserk!...as you could imagine. Unbelievable band.

Eezer

[allinallisallweare]

This is excellent. Face of Melinda is probably my favourite Opeth song, and I think you did a great job. Going to try and play it myself now.

[eezerian]

Thanks Allin, yeah it's a fabulous song and I took a liberty or two here and there with the arrangement. I had this one in mind for ages but I just couldn't get the verses right. Once they were done the whole thing came together (I still cringe at parts, lol but I'm more than happy with the outcome). Thanks again man,

Eezer

[kmahl35]

very good cover!! impressive !!

[eezerian]

Thanks for watching and commenting on my Opeth covers, kmahl. Out of all the Opeth covers I've done this one was the one that I wanted to play most. One of my all time favourites, in a long list of Opeth songs.

Eezer

[PolloZombie666]

That's absolutely great!

[eezerian]

Thank you for watching PolloZombie.

Eezer

[perfectbreedband]

really good also if in some part is not face of melinda, less fantasy and more ear imho

4 stars for the absolutely hard work

[eezerian]

Thanks for your feedback man. Yeah the tabs are really dodgy for this at best and some parts were just a case of getting by rather than replicating what I heard. I'm glad that you still enjoyed it. Thanks again

Eezer

[juchel]

the second verse is so hard to figure out, i can't hear it properly

[ddaniellehhuot]

This is officially the greatest video I've ever watched. I LOVE this song and you nailed it completely.

[eezerian]

Thank you for watching ddannielle. I really enjoyed putting this one together. Please check my other vids when you get time.

Eezer

[sneaker24p]

this is great opeth fan .)

[eezerian]

Thanks Sneaker

Eezer

[opethianskies]

Loved it... Can you send me the tabs... ?? It's fucking awesome...

[eezerian]

Hey gruu, man thank you for your generous comments on my video. This is right up there with my favourite tracks of all time and this video had to be made. A couple of people have mentioned about sending the band my covers but I don't know man, there are so many areas that need work. Nice to think that they may have checked 'em on YT. haha. 'til next time.

Eezer

[gruu]

Its flawless basically, and a nice touch really with another guitar holding the vocal melody, you captured the feeling of this song with a hint of your own style, you should send it to opeth or something. : ]

[juchel]

mint, you have better ears than alot of guys on youtube

[eezerian]

Hey Juchel, thank you for watching my videos. There is more to come (Windowpane is next) I just need more time to be able to put another together.

Please keep checking and thanks again.

Eezer

[Dorfnite]

Oh! Windowpane, I'm excited to hear that ;) Since it has always been my favourite song by Opeth. I'm sure you'll do great, tho!

[eezerian]

Hey Dorfnite, thank you for watching my videos and commenting. Yes Windowpane is next but I'm having some technical issues with my operating system. As soon as it is up I'll send you the link. Cheers again man.

Eezer

[komasaf]

Man, you're amazing, very inspiring! Great vid, easily a fiver

[eezerian]

Thank you komasef, this one was on the 'to do list' for a long time so I'm pleased that it is out there and people are enjoying it.

Eezer

[kornkrop1]

absolutely brilliant.

the guitar vocal thing was confusing at parts though.still brilliant

[eezerian]

Thanks Kornkrop, yea I wanted to get . the vocals as close as possible. Sometimes Mikael's inflections are difficult to capture. I'm having issues with 'Windowpane' at the moment. All guitars sound fantastic but the vocals are proving the most difficult yet to sound good. Thanks again for watching and commenting.

Eezer

[Frudie]

You are really good! Keep it up!

[eezerian]

Thanks Frudie for watching my videos.

Eezer

[Proggerful]

You are so good it´s not even funny!....great.

Eezer

[ReZiBathoRy]

:O......amazing

[eezerian]

Thanks for watching.

Eezer

[hammrofjustice]

i dont comment people often, but that was fucking incredible. you play very clean and neat, every note is heard, excellent skill you have. this cover is so impressive, A+, 10/10.

[eezerian]

Hey man, thanks for commenting on my video. Please check my other Opeth covers when you get time. I appreciate your feedback very much.

Eezer

[pwertogalero]

Eezer

[ministrysalm79]

Muy pocas reproducciones , para el mejor cover de Opeth, eres muy talentoso compadre sigue asi.

[rohitvaishnav25]

sry i didnt notice that you covered the vocals for the whole song....btw can you please tab the 1st part of the song...i dont know why but i can get the 1st part to sound right

[fumado2000]

simply amazing!!

This Song is just beautiful

Opeth isn't your everyday metal band

You did an incredible job

I'm trying to get this song down but Its a bit complex... and the tabs I find aren't so accurate

[eezerian]

Thanks for commenting fumado, it is a tricky one indeed but worth it. This arrangement was an 18month project (I kept getting stuck on the verses). The tabs are dodgy to say the least and I didn't tab my version (not that I'm an authority on any of this, I'm still not 100% happy with the overall outcome but it's as close as I'm going to get it I think. Thanks for watching and please check my other covers.

Eezer

[blackmetalsorsa]

this is perfect!! do you have tabs? its hard to find the "real" tabs but this sounds perfect :) 5/5

[eezerian]

Sorry, Blackmetalsorsa, I only have the standard powertab and guitarpro tabs for this (easy to find) and I threw in a few extra little changes myself when needed. I didn't tab it but I'm considering doing a tutorial for all my vids so please keep checking. Thanks for the comment.

Eezer

[efestombulsise]

amazing !!

[eezerian]

Thanks, it certainly is an incredible song.

Eezer

[rohitvaishnav25]

wow!!one of the best covers on youtube...never seen anything like this...you actually covered the vocal section on the guitar too in that 5th minute....brilliant!!nice work...i am not able to nail this song as i have finger picking problems...got to work on it

[eezerian]

Thank you for watching, I'm glad that you enjoyed my version. It is such an amazing song and I spent ages trying to get it to sound right (the tabs are not great). Good luck with you're picking fingers, certainly need them for this one.

Eezer

[panconquesoderretido]

fantastic D:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[eezerian]

Thanks again

Eezer

[15viceandvirtues]

excellent cover..

[eezerian]

Thanks for watching and commenting.

Eezer

[perfectbreedband]

wow, very very nice, absolutely a great cover, 5/5 ;)

please visite our page, there is an opeth cover and others video , also our songs

[donangry]

Very well done, one of my favorites. I haven't looked to see if you did Bleak yet.

[JacobSijsma]

Very good, but I gotta ask you, you improvise 3:59 on purpose because its kind of different

[eezerian]

Thanks jacob, yeah that bit's a bit weird, the tabs aren't great and I just tried to get it as close as possible. Cheers for watching again.

Eezer

[thomasdaveluy]

Really good work, even though i hate nylon really really good work

[vinaysmash]

great work man! amazing stuff

[laleyendadeltaco]

fucking great man, do you think you culd tab your version?

[eezerian]

Thanks for this response, can you please send me your email address and I'll post it to you.

Eezer

[magnumclimber]

your too good for a digital drummer, id send him packing

[eezerian]

thanks magnumclimber, I'm waiting for Larztallica and OceanSikth to send me Opeth drumming tracks so we don't have to listen to digital anymore. Here's hoping. Thanks for commenting.

Eezer

[mathor]

really nice playing!

[eezerian]

Thanks mathor. Eezer.

[kvaks3000]

The distorted guitar doesn't sound very good. Good playing, though.

[eezerian]

You're right, it makes me cringe every time. I'm still working on my distorted sounds and it will get better as my equipment improves over time. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one.

Eezer

[TKDWolf]

It sounds like your gain is too high, it's going fuzzy, and you might also try turning the bass down. ... Which reminded me of a video that might be helpful for figuring out distorted tones.

/watch?v=gw5k6FYKMfU&feature=r­elated

[eezerian]

Thanks TKD, Petrucci...nice.

Keep posted please for further work on this song from me, I'm not done with it yet. Thanks for commenting.

Eezer

[sptz46]

I agree, the song was beautifully done, but the distorted sound needs improvement. But great job, very well done.

[whipmanjak]

I must agree, I did not know what to expect when that part was coming. Still, this is a beautiful cover! I love singing along to it

[eezerian]

I think I'll have another crack at this one over the holidays (in 4 weeks or so). The backing track will remain largely the same but the distorted sections need another go. Pity, I know, but I really want this song to be perfect....that's what it deserves. Thanks guys for your constructive and informative comments, that's what it's all about.

Eezer

[Fleshjam]

HOLY SHIT! Now that would blow the audience in an audicion! Too bad I can't play that well yet! GREAT WORK!

Did you get the tabs by yourself?

Cheers!

[eezerian]

Hey Fleshjam, thanks for commenting, yes I worked through 2 different tabs (guitarpro and powertabs) and worked the remainder out by ear. This was the most challenging cover I've played so far. Glad you enjoyed it.

Eezer

[anotherone18]

God, you're awesome.

6 great covers, keep 'em coming.

5/5
