Favorite Opeth solo

[Ecto]

i don't have a favorite one, but i love epilogue!

 

[Id]

The Twilight is my Robe, the ending one. And the Leper Affinity.

 

[phon1c]

definitely the first one in leper affinity. the harmonised ending with one descending run and one ascending run is just amazing.

 

[ControlledChaos]

The Leper Affinity is great.....


Does the solo in Mordet i Grottan count? I love that!

 

[Punisher]

april ethereal, the amen corner or the leper affinity. no. wait. godhead's lament.

 

[Furious B]

When.

 

[The Sound Gardener]

Epilogue

 

[scorpian007]

The first solo to Godheads Lament is awesome

 

[redreflection]

The first solo that springs to mind is the one around the 13 & a half minute mark of Black Rose Immortal (behind the lyrics that start - I have kept it, the Amarenth Symbol...)

Opeth at their finest.

and many more......

 

[scorpian007]

They have too many good solo's

 

[Staffan]

serenity painted death
Blackwater park(that fast thing)
The funeral portrait (probably my definetly favourite)

 

[DarkHawk]

Opeth has multiple riffs that totally rock.

3:00 into Godheads Lament is insane. To me, it sounds like the guitar is actually crying.. so emotional.

13:39 into Black Rose Immortal Oh what can I say about that riff. It totally means so much to me. Ive had some hard times lately with a friend and I play that riff things dont seem that bad and I can clearly think about things. So, yea that riff is good and emotional.

The end to Apostle in Truimph is really good too. Just some hardcore guitar action.

 

[scorpian007]

The end of The Apostle Triumph is AWESOME

 

[mr_cellotape]

Every solo in 'Deliverance' is my favourite at the moment. That song is incredible.

Apart from that, geez there's so many. 4:28-5:28 in The Funeral Portrait is probably my personal favourite. The solo in Serenity Painted Death is pretty technical for sure, but there are others that sound better imho.

 

[Elysian Blaze]

For Serenity Painted Death, it isn't a matter of technicality. That solo perfectly conveys the emotion the entire album tries to capture. Despair. Aggression. Everything that Still Life is about can be found in that solo.

 

[scorpian007]

*BUMP* This thread is very old but it needs a bump up. Anyway I still love the Serenity Painted Death solo but my other favorites are Godheads Lament, The Drapery Falls and some of the ones off Damnation. Amazing stuff...

 

[estimate]

Ok, my turn.

1. Wreath - 5.05
2. Deliverance - 8.13
3. Forest of October - 5.45
4. Master Apprentice - 5.27
5. The Twilight Is My Robe - 8.43
6. Apostle in Triumph - 3.15
7. In The Mist She Was Standing - 2.44
8. Drapery Falls - Live Version - Around 5.00

Thats some, not all

 

[Netheral]

The one on Deliverance is just awesome.........especially the bending in this solo is just killer...

The one on Serenity Painted Death is also one of their best.

 

[Dev]

Forest Of October is really cool because as someone said its totally un-opeth-ish but very good ( on the bootleg video too ).
Most of Opeth solos are awesome anyway , i cant pick one

 

[veil the sky]

i'm sorry but the best solo on deliverance has got to be 'a fair judgement' such great feeling!!!!

always reminds me of the 'to bid you farewell' solo, another great one
