Hours of Wealth

[metal_wrath]

I have been listening to Hours of Wealth a lot and it occurs to me that this song is fucking awesome, truly a classy song that is underrated. I happen to prefer this to Isolation Years. Brilliantly dark riffs in the intro, and ending with a heartfelt solo which reminds me of Epilogue. Anyone have any thoughts, please discuss.

Best Opeth solo ever.

Are you kidding me? What makes you think that?

 

[Towedwart]

I like the song a lot... dunno if it has the best Opeth solo, but it is a pretty song.

I've been playing the ending solo obsessivly for two weeks now. I din't know why, but it's completely awesome.

Are you kidding me? What makes you think that?

The fact that it's awesome.

Love the song as well, one of my faves from GR. Does anyone happen to know the chords being played behind Mike's vox and the solo? I know the entire intro bit (still need to practice it more), but I haven't been able to figure out what the chords are for the rest.

But yeah, definitely a kick ass tune.

Um.

I find the intro from that song awesome, but it's the part where mikael starts singing that I like a little bit less, not because I don't like his voice (I'd be crazy lol), but I don't really like the blues ambiance, with only voice, silences and piano chords. Though, I reckon it's made with a lot of talent but it's just not my genre. I hope they would have made a complete song with the intro and another complete one that is more like the end

the solo does rule, but as a whole, the song doesnt really hold my interest (in fact, isolation years is the only clean song on GR that does). mike's vocals are well done, but the mee...eeeeeee part always bugged me.

 

[arzachel]

the intro is prly my fav. part on the whole album tbqh.

I love both HoW and Isolation Years, IY more though probably. Yeah the solo is beautiful, as is Mike's vocal melody.

The chords aren't too difficult, don't have the cd on me right now, and I'm gonna write notes instead of chords cuz I really need to brush up on theory, but from memory...

D C# C B Bb A G C#
F F .F D .D D Bb G
A A .A F .F F D

hope you get what I mean, its just based around Dm with a desending chromatic root note
