the riff in closure is awesome. its great to learn the stuff form damnation because its so diverse.

My favorite opeth song to play is Benighted or Leper Affinity. I can play Drapery Falls all the way through as well (thats the first song from Opeth i learned). Still Day Beneath The Sun is also fun once you figure it out.

I love playing the beginning of most Damnation songs. Windowpane is great.
Fac of Melinda, the intro is also amazing. I haven't tried any other songs. Which ones would you recommend? Which song just amazes you, by the wonderful structure of the chords?

I know most of Black Rose Immortal, but I haven't tried to put it together yet.

Ending Credits and Windowpane are both great. Actually, the whole of Damnation is.

Blackwater Park is also hella fun to play.

PLEASE play Black Rose Immortal live in London on the 30th! PLEASE!

My ideal setlist would be (including a couple of GR songs):

Ghost of Perdition
The Leper Affinity
Black Rose Immortal
To Bid You Farewell
Bleak
The Grand Conjuration
Windowpane
Blackwater Park
-encore-
Demon of the Fall

Drapery Falls has some very cool parts to play, but the loud parts are pretty weak on just one guitar. Patterns in the Ivy II is amazingly beautiful, I don't know how he comes up with some of those fingerings.

But if you gots the skillz, Melinda comes through perfectly on one guitar, start to finish. The loud part isn't hard, but the fingering in the rest is pretty tricky.

Bleak and Advent are incredibly fun to play on bass.

Oh no doubt :)

I love playing "Demon of The Fall", too...it's got so many great riffs in it. "The Leper Affinity" is also fun to play...

To Bid Your Farewell is my favorite to play on bass.:D

I can't be bothered to tune down to play that song. I'm so lazy when it comes to tuning. I try to avoid drop D for that reason as well.

Ha, it ain't a bother for me...

I get bored WRITING in Dropped-D tuning..

That's the reason why i have 2 basses.:D

Yeah, I find the stuff I write to be a lot more interesting if I stay in standard.


EDIT: To Txus, I need another bass :(.

[QUOTE]Yeah, I find the stuff I write to be a lot more interesting if I stay in standard.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, a lot of people as what tuning we play in, and I just say "standard, bitch!" :lol: ...we are leaning on tunign down a step though...

I can't write technical stuff in drop tunings. I forget where I am.

My favourite Opeth song to play is Silhouette..its so dark and ominious. I just got my bass, so I wanted to start doing something else, like Blackwater Park looks like it would be fun. That, and it's one of my favourite songs by them :p

You can play Silhouette on piano? That's pretty sweet.

I wish I could play piano, man...

I want to learn BWP on bass!

[QUOTE=Txus]I want to learn BWP on bass![/QUOTE]

It's a pretty simple song...I don't think it'd be too hard to play on bass.

The tabs pretty easy. If you're a decent slapper for the end part, it wouldn't be a problem.

I may learn that later today. I've got nothing better to do.

I'll try to learn it today cauz i have nothing better to do.:p

[QUOTE=Creeping_Deth]You can play Silhouette on piano? That's pretty sweet.[/QUOTE]

Heh, only like the first three pages, after hours of scouring the net for pages that give/sell sheet music, that's all I can find. I've figured out most of the rest of it...I should just finish the rest of the damn thing and get it over it :lol:

[quote=ICB]I wish I could play piano, man...[/quote]

/throws beginner piano books at ICB

Then go start learning :p

I used to be pretty good at piano. Then I stoped playing, and now I've lost all my skillz.

I regret that.

[QUOTE]/throws beginner piano books at ICB[/QUOTE]

Hey, while you're at it, through a fricken' piano at me :lol: ...

I want to be able to do the stuff I can on guitar and then play it on keyboards...that would be awesome (I'm such a CoB-head)...but I really want to learn how to play piano so I could do some dark, melodic intros and shi[size=2]t[/size]...plus I'd bust out some Opeth at school in the band room :lol: I'm getting the band director here into Opeth.

[QUOTE=Txus]I'll try to learn it today cauz i have nothing better to do. :p[/QUOTE]

Good luck :) I'll probably be recording today...

ahh, im starting to play piano.....pauses.....well, keyboard lol

But i learned a fair judgement and the grand conjuration with they keyboard

I just spend too much time on my guitar to bother actually learning how to play piano...I know where the notes are and everything I just haven't spent a lot of time playing as I probably should...

I wish I could learn to piano.
Probably the most beatiful instrument in my opinion.

My grandparents have one and they say I'm always welcome to go down and practise but I'd really love one of my own.

I have a keyboard but never really saw the appeal......

Keyboards just don't have nearly the same aura.

Or enough buttons :rolleyes:

I played piano for years, then I got really bored with it and quit. I got to gr 9 Conservatory grade though, so I can legally teach piano at any institute. :D

Just thought I'd blow my own horn a little. :p
