I also like credence. and yes it is fairly easy to play.

But dont be mislead. Try playing some acoustic breakdowns on BwP, It does tend to be a bit more difficult to play. Not impossible , just harder. Im not even gonna talk about Still Life. It just mindblowingly difficult some of it ......................well for me! ;)

From Still Life I can play Benighted and I'm up to the solo in Godheads Lament, which is about 3 minutes in.

And I can play Hope Leaves as well, haven't really tried anything else.

i only listen to the songs the guy really sings in. I just don't like any music with growling, screaming, etc. i think it kinda ruins the sound, but i guess some people like that. He has a great singing voice though, and the instruments are great.

matter of opinion

does anyone else have heaps of trouble with opeth solos? I dunno why, but whenever I get up to any solo I just have such a hard time learning it, its such a bitch.

i can play everything off Still Life except White Cluster, which i havent tried yet. Also everything off Orchid except for Silhouette cos NOBODY HAS THE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

learn yourself, if your pitch is good enough, you should be able to

I've seen Opeth twice in Australia, and once I got to meet them!If their roadie is trustworth enough, they might even have a copy of my demo... I gave it to him to pass it on to them.

that happens to me except I never "really" practice the solos enough. I just go off and do what I can. Like the drapery falls solo, it sounds really easy, but the barring or whatever you do in the solo is tough for me.

Also The funeral portait has a slow sweeping type solo that is kinda challenging because it's hard for me to play all the notes smoothly and cleanly.

yeah, well, i'm not a great guitarist, only been learning for about 1 and a half years, and it's half and half for me, Opeth songs i can fully play are

The moor
April ethereal
Demon of the fall
patterns in the ivy 1/2
windowpane
Leper affinity
under the weeping moon
Blackwater park
and most of moonlapse vertigo

Opeth Oasis, you have extremely good taste for someone who is only in grade 6. Consider yourself repp'd. And the only song by Opeth I can play is To Bid You Farewell, it's all I've tried so far.

I'm in Melbourne, pretty far away from Sydney. Unfortunatelly I missed Opeth, I got into them after their last tour, so yeah I haven't been a fan for that long. Although I do have every CD, the DVD, and a shirt. On the topic of the shirt, on the back it says "2004, In the year of our Lord", what exactly does that mean? People think I worship satan or something when I wear it.

I have no Musical level or anything but Ive been playing for about 3 years now and ive managed to play most of their songs except some songs on Morningrise (cause I consider it to be less guiness).

Oh but the other day at my music school, they had all the little children there to play a concert for their parents to show how far they have progressed in the year. I had to play and i chose Ending Credits. My teacher played the Rhythm and i played lead.

most people played like christmas songs (one guy even played final countdown on the keyboard!lol) but our song was the best performed song of the evening.

It was great, Opeth to the masses!

can anyone here play the drapery falls solo?

Which one? :lol:

[QUOTE=Cardboard Headgear]Which one? :lol:[/QUOTE]

there's only one solo man, it's right after the "Aaaaaahhhhhhh Aaahhhhh" part.

[QUOTE=bball_1523]can anyone here play the drapery falls solo?[/QUOTE]
Yeah I can. :D

Ah...Opeth. My favorite band. I've actually never tried playing any of their stuff though I will say they are one of the most beautiful progressive metal bands I've ever heard.

[QUOTE=4130] On the topic of the shirt, on the back it says "2004, In the year of our Lord", what exactly does that mean?[/QUOTE]

hehe yeah ive seen that shirt and i have no idea what it means? i have the 'look your last upon the sun' shirt (which im wearing right now) and i dont know where that quote comes from either??

Yay Melbourne :D :thumb:

I have 2 Opeth shirts, and 1 Opeth jumper, mine are just plain black shirts, with a little yellow Opeth O on it, i wear those shirts nearly every time, and i have a cool opeth necklace thing:)

Does anyone know when to expect a new Opeth album? I've heard that it should relatively soon but confirmation would be nice.

[QUOTE=I Am The Black Wizards]Does anyone know when to expect a new Opeth album? I've heard that it should relatively soon but confirmation would be nice.[/QUOTE]

Late Spring 2005, supposively.

They've gotta get a label first though.

[QUOTE=LeperAffinity]They've gotta get a label first though.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, any news on ones they're considering?

Edit: I personally think they should sort something out with Nuclear Blast. but that's just me...

Peaceville would be another good choice.

Mikael said there were about 12 different lables with serious offers.He said this recently.

[QUOTE=I Am The Black Wizards]Peaceville would be another good choice.[/QUOTE]
...what label were you under the impression they were on?
I think Century would make the best home for Opeth.

[QUOTE=bball_1523]there's only one solo man, it's right after the "Aaaaaahhhhhhh Aaahhhhh" part.[/QUOTE]
I'm refering to the fact he plays an altered version of the solo live, as he can't remember what he played on the album.

I know Opeth were on Peaceville but at the same time it was also a fitting label then again didn't Century Media also at one point have Opeth?
