Probably been playing about 4-5 years, concentrating on Opeth-style material for a year or so now. I played violin for much longer which helps... Probably practise at least an hour a day- not that long because I'm nearing the end of my degree and that takes up most of my time at the moment.

I have no idea what you are talking about! So, no...

Coil anyone?

Yeah, I'm a travelling student so I have to keep my gear to a minimum. Works nicely though.

For me Opeth and PRS are a perfect match. The look and sound of those guitars perfectly match Opeth's music. A nice custom private stock with some Opeth insignia would be a nice adition to the live act...

For an easy solo try Godhead's lament...

What I love about Mike's solos is that they are generally a bit easier to play. Most of my other favourite bands/musicians have solos just beyond my capabilities, but generally, Opeth is right at my level! For this I am most thankful! However, while I can 'play' most of the solos, I would...

Well we know Mike would like to improve his speed because I remember him asking Fred to give him speed tips. But honestly, Mike is one of my favourite players simply because he doesn't shred. This means I can actually play Opeth songs, unlike most of my other favourite bands!!! And...

The Bones Of All Men- Starring Phil Picket, Richard Thompson, Dave Mattacks and Peggy! Medieval folk-rock at its best!
