i was about to write wreath, second solo, but i never did lol. how can you possibly rank the first deliverance solo over the second?

 

[Arasmas]

because it's better

 

[L0bster]

Wreath, Deliverance (Mike), A Fair Judgement (all), Masters Apprentice, Serenity Painted Death, The Leper Affinity, The Funeral Portrait, The Grand Conjuration and more. Mainly like Mikes style when he goes "metal", sounds awsome. One of his earliest blazin' solos is the one he did in Crimson by Edge of Sanity.

The soloing-duel in White Cluster, starting at 6:21
Some mad skills, both technique-wise as well as melodical!

 

[Iki-ilkkuja]

I still prefer Peter's solo on Deliverance, such a great one.

 

[Simskre]

I like the guitar and synth harmonizing in Beneath the Mire more than any solo

 

[Iki-ilkkuja]

^ It's also truly awesome.

eh the white clusters are cool, but not opeth's best.

thats what i mean by whats going on.

 

[Caesar Metallius]

The Grand Conjuration
all of them in A Fair Judgment
both in Windowpane

I don't know, this list could get out of hand really quick. I love Mike's, Peter's and Fred's solos!

Also, Mike's solo in Arriving Somewhere But Not Here (Porcupine Tree) is amazingly wonderful.

Yeah, pre-Fredrik Opeth didn't have a shred-able guitarist and they overplayed on White Cluster... and it's mixed too low.
