Well this was a blast to make, but it took me a LONG time, and is not even 100% complete. Some of the dual guitars are missing, and playing one rhythm track I switch kind of between both. Learning many of the solos was really challenging (but good practice for me), and some are not as up to speed as I would like, or perfection, but they came out real well. As I said, soloing isn't always my forte. Also this is straight amp to guitar no effects just the overdrive channel on my amp. With the dual soloing though I am switching between bridge and neck pickups for contrast.

That said, this was probably "the" song I heard by the band that said to me, "I really need to buy these guys albums". Been much happier since following that advice.

I am also glad I finished this cause I hadn't been playing much of anything else and this took up alot of my time (more than I could have imagined and it's technically not even 100% finished).

On a side note the photo in the end I took from my cell phone for when the guys allowed permission after the concert in Norfolk. Thanks!

Enjoy the video.

did you work this out by ear or learn it from tab/score because i am finding it impossible to find a decent tab to learn from

[arglebarglefoofara]

[noelledosanjos]

i wish i'd be good enough to play this song

what program did you use to mix the videos?

[arglebarglefoofara]

@noelledosanjos I used Adobe Premiere Elements. My Mixing skills and gear have improved a bit since then. Playing well.. still trying to maintain it. :)

Hey opeth, my favourite band, this line up was a killer. Nice job, well played. Tell me who's the little guy sat on the amp behind you, kinda looks familiar.

Should've overlayed the videos to topleft and bottomleft, so we could see the chords that you were playing. Good work though!

That fucking part at 2:33 kills me every fucking time (I play bass).

Just can't seem to get it down. = /
