Most difficult Opeth riff...

[Cutter]

Ok...I'm bored...

what do you think is the most difficult to play Opeth riff?

Currently, I'm having trouble with the accoustic part just after "Where even foes close their eyes and leave..." I can't play it consistently enough yet.

The acoustic break in Demon of the Fall is wicked to try and play.

Have guys heard of "The Riff of Doom", legend has it that it's the hardest riff to play...... ever!! And if you attempt to play it and fail, you will die a horrible, horrible death! Or I am full of shit and bored out of my mind... no one will ever know....muahahahahahahahaha..... I stop now.

It's really fun to play but by far not the hardest

right now i've been practicing blackwater park a lot. i've got all the riffs down perfectly except one...the one at about 6:35, with the weird syncopated rythym. it sounds like i'm playing it right but then when i play it with the cd to make sure i end up behind a whole beat.

The first one that comes to my head is that one on serinity painted death at 2:47-3:15 .

Oddly, I don't play along to Opeth. I figured out most of Advent, but find it rather unsatisfying to play one guitar part, when Opeth so often rely on both guitars to create a riff (well, the old stuff anyway, which is what I'd be interested in playing)......

yeah that riff in demon of the fall rocks... all those deviations of Dm are cool to play

Yes... I agree...
I truly favour Opeth's first two recordings since I really love the twin guitar melodies they use...
Yet playing along with the recordings is fun in itself in some way...

6:16 in Leper Affinity, not necessarily the hardest to play but the timing in that riff is soooo weird.
Some of the riffs on the Moor are really weird too!
One of the reasons I like newer Opeth probably more than older Opeth is because of the odd nature of the songs.
