Best Opeth song to play with one guitar....

[david411]

i think demon of the fall and blackwater park (both happen to be in drop D) what do you guys think, most songs just dont work with one guitar and i want one that sounds good when i feel like playing guitar just by myself, deliverance actually isn't to bad either

PS does opeth only have 2 songs in drop D?

 

[Ermz]

Yeah Opeth only have 2 songs in drop D. A few other good songs to play by yourself are, Credence, Patterns in the Ivy, The Drapery Falls also isn't too bad on one guitar... I like to vary which guitar part i play each time and also The Leper Affinity.

 

[Eliogabalus]

Hmm.. I would say The Drapery Falls, Benighted, or Credence.

 

[KielbasaSausage]

benighted, definately.

 

[DemonOfTheFall]

with my electric:
Demon of the Fall kicks fucking ass!
most recently though has been Masters Apprentices; I love growling and headbanging (long hair always helps) to it while I play.

my nylon:
Benighted is tite
Face of Melinda is great
but I'd have to say To Bid You Farewell takes the cake. I love singing to it while I play, and the bluesy solo in the beginning/ middle is fun too. The breakdown at the end though just makes it phenomenal, eventhough the song turns electric, I continue with my acoustic and add my own style to it, sound's great, I hope they play it in the Damnation tour.

opeth is the greatest, honestly

To Bid You Farewell is one of Opeth's best songs, I don't know why it doesn't get more recognition by fans.

 

[DeTh^^]

yeah its probably my fav mellow song

 

[Fifth_Horseman]

Benighted, Patterns in the Ivy I and II.
And I agree on Blackwater Park (first electric Opeth song I learned) and Deliverance.
I'm currently working on The Funeral Portrait, sounds great too.

"Wreath" is fun.

HEY! This is my post 666!!! :Shedevil:

 

[david411]

im leaning more towards heavy stuff, gotta put the Peavey 5150 to some use right.....

 

[Gnuckell]

The leper affinity...headbanging joy.

 

[Greenwater_Pond]

Every song from blackwater park sound great with one guitar. Leper affinity, bleak (tough one at times), and the drapery falls are my personal favourites.

 

[Staffan]

"Wreath" is fun.

HEY! This is my post 666!!! :Shedevil:

Benigted ... altough i advise people who are not familiar with finger picking to forget this

Benigted ... altough i advise people who are not familiar with finger picking to forget this

I'd recommend it more heartily for those... I've been having a hell of a time learning fingerpicking with that song

 

[Manbient]

agreed Moonlapse! i've been working on Benighted a lot the last 3 days, so far i got the first 40 or so seconds down about 90% accurate... it's helped my fingerpicking immensely! i still suck though haha i'm somewhat doomed to being a small-picked shredder hehe

 

[Ermz]

harhar, I saw that video of you playing Patterns In The Ivy with a pick... it aint right bro, it aint right, learn that fingerpicking .

I haven't had a chance to work on Benighted lately, but when I started I got the first part down in a few minutes, but it gave me hell for a while. (thank god for my former guitar instructor playing flamenco).

 

[Manbient]

haha well i know it fingerpicking but my thumb is too slow and it lags at parts because of it. I'm working on it. I have a fascination with acoustics now for some reason and am trying to learn some cool tunes.

y'know I just noticed... your old avvy is back
