Easiest Opeth Riff

[Ermz]

I'd say it's the melody line from The Drapery Falls.

What do you say?

I'm gonna have to go with the part at about 5:10 into Blackwater Park. It's awesome, but quite simple.

 

[Ermz]

oh yeah also, most of Demon of The Fall... particularily that little melody thing at the end that it finishes with and the start of it... goddamn heavy but goddamn easy too.

Yeah, most of MAYH is relatively easy, especially April Ethereal and Demon Of The Fall.

 

[Elysian Blaze]

The verse[?] in Karma, too. It's my favourite song off the album, but that part's simply power chordage.

Bullshit! You just said something!

Easiest song is a better question because some riffs are just a few simple chords play some times, easiest song: harvest

 

[ham]

i can't play harvest
can play demon of the fall and the moor though...

im really crap at chordy rhythm strumming stuff, like really really crap

Moonlapse, change your goddamn avatar.

The "Vows in ashes..." riff is pretty easy...Rather, it's simple because lacks complexity and is only like a measure long.

 

[changso]

Harvest easy?
Are you serious!

I checked out the tab and no way I'm able to do this
Am I really THAT BAD??????

I can play the intrumental intro of credence, patterns in the ivy, patterns in the ivy 2, to bid you farewell...but Harvest, it's just too hard base on the tab I saw!

Anyway some help would be greatly appreciated...

That is totally weird, I mean, its like 5 chords strummed and shit, its so simple sounding. How could it be hard?

 

[fainéant]

patterns in the ivy is the easiest. harvest is easy too. you can play this lovely song within seconds of hearing it. look ma, no tab!

 

[Ermz]

changso, the way the tab shows harvest isn't really so. you don't need to strum it that pecisely. the main part is basically an E minor chord just strummed in a simple rhythm... I had the same first impressions as you, but I assure you it's quite easy.

 

[changso]

Thanks Moonlapse
You mean it doesn't have to be ultra precise? I mean, I thought I had to mute the strings and all...

 

[bleedingskeptic]

harvest is easy, don't listen to the tabs. the tabs i saw were wrong, i mean, they were way off! its just basic chords all strummed the same way...still a good song though.

I just tried it without the tab...and you're right!
thanks!

You're welcome... actually if anything the clean electric part is even easier than the acoustic strumming.
