Indeed!

The funniez factor is mostly in "Serenity Painted Death", at least for me.

My favorite Opeth song to play is Harvest, followed by Deliverence. Those are the only two I know all of.

I know Wreath, Serenity painted Death, Moonlapse Vertigo, Leper Affinity, Bleak, The drapery falls, A fair judgement, Windowpane, weakness (lol) and Ending credits. Amazing Setlist.

...I forgot about AFJ and Ending Credits. So I could open for your headlining Opeth set.

You'd haveto yawn less. :P

I'm sure I'd be yawning plenty, with the boringness of playing the first few minutes of AFJ.

Yeh. Let's get a super piano virtuoso that can shred that first part.

:lol::lol:

Calling all Pers.

Or you could just get one of those self playing pianos to do it. Now that would look cool.

[QUOTE=lightningmetal666;13387015]I was reading the lyrics to the song BWP and the lyrics are amazing. I also love this riff because it is so damn catchy:


e:----------------------------
b:----------------------------
g:----------------------------
d:-----------------------6----
a:-/5-5-4h5p4p0-------5--5---
d:---------------1br-0------0-[/QUOTE]

I didn't know Opeth used dropped D.

Only in that song they did. And it worked.

A lot of GR is in Drop D as is BWP. I was more shocked that they used concert tuning instead of Drop D.

You mean standard E tuning??

Yes! I'll be able to play some Opeth songs! Because I have a Floyd Rose and the lowest tuning I can go to is dropped D without resetting the trem. And I have to have it in E for my lessons.

I again, realised the amazingness of The Leper Affinity while in my car tonight.

Played it REAL loud. Awesome. :cool:

I try not to use too low of tunings, but I do have a weakness as of late in writing in drop D. I feel that I use it pretty intelligently however by making my own chords. For Example:

e|---|---|---|
b|---|---|---|
g|-5-|-5-|-3-|
d|-6-|-5-|-3-|
a|-x-|-x-|-x-|
d|-7-|-6-|-5-|

One of my fav. progressions that I've made in this tuning.

I believe most of GR is in open D tuning, isn't it?

Everything I've looked into is.

So that's Ghost of Perdition, Harlequin Forest, and The Great Conjuration.

I thought GOP was standard.

What do I know though? Bass player. :p

I'm really getting into Opeth lately. It's cool cause, if I'm in the mood for heavy metal, I can listen to Opeth. If I'm in the mood for rock, I can listen to Opeth, and If I'm in the mood for soft acoustic stuff, I can listen to Opeth.
:D
:cool:

Most. Beneath the Mire and.. Isolation Years aren't. There might be one more but I don't think so.

I remember wanting to learn Ghost of Perdiditon. I got about at like the third page of the tab, and then suddenly stopped learning it. In the open D, it was the only thing I could play anyways...

DADFAD (open dm) tuning is insanely great.

But last I heard was that GR is in DADFAE.

I don't know for sure though.

...But you simply cannot beat To Bid You Farewell for clean singing.[/QUOTE]

Sure, you can: Face of Melinda, Windowpane, Godhead's Lament, Bleak.

Pretty much anything post-Morningrise has better singing. TBYF has excellent vocals, but Mikael progressed greatly as time went on.

The chorus of GL just might be my favorite of Mike's clean vocals.

The best Opeth clean vocal section is in Bleak when he's trading off with Steven Wilson. That section is classic.

That's really quality as well. Maybe the second best instance.

Bleak is just a great song overall. Great atmosphere, amazing solo in the acoustic break, fantastic clean and growled vocals, impressive structure, and still a headbangable live favorite.

Definitely. It's in my top 5 Opeth songs no question.
