How many solos has Peter done? Is it like a 50 50 thing? Cuz on wikipedia they only mention 3 solos and i know he must have done more...

Peter's solos are all like arpeggio sort of stuff, quite classical sounding. Something I noticed is you tend to hear Peter's pick hitting the strings a bit harder than Mike's; so that's how I unofficially know when he's soloing.

for me it is quite obvious when Peter's soloing because he uses mostly pentaton notes and no really mad rhythms. On the contrary you can realize Mike's ones by his impossible rhythms. I think Peter's soloing in Wreath, Deliverance 1st solo, A Fair judgement heavy solo 2nd part, When heavy solo, etc. I guess he has no solos on Ghost Reveries at all.

IMO the Wreath solo, he has a tapping note in there)
In fact one of my ever favourite Opeth solos.

What about the older stuff? In the Funeral Portrait he trades off with Mike, he does White Cluster, and from Damnation the leads in In My Time of Need and Death Whispered a Lullabye.

Yup. on the lamentations documentary it shows him recording it.
I suspect the reason Peter's only solo on GR is "Beneath the Mire" is because he didn't want to solo in the open-D tuning...

I was glad he only got the one solo on Ghost Reveries. His solo at the end of Beneath the Mire is one of the lowest points on the album for me. It's been my strong belief that his solos never came to the level of Mike's throughout the whole span of the band. I was excited to hear what sort of lead sounds the new guy would add but was pretty disappointed by the solo on Heir Apparent, at least the way it's played on the live video. Who knows, maybe its strength is in layers of harmony which can't be reproduced live *prays*.

The Beneath the Mire solo is good. I always thought it was all him on A Fair Judgement, that'd probably be my favourite for him

not all songs are in open-D tuning, for exemple GrandC, Hours of Wealth is dropped-D for sure
Mikael wrote on the official Opeth homepage that Peter did not do so much for the co-writing as earlier, this may shows that he was kinda about to leave for a couple of years, don't you guys think?2nd half of White Cluster solo is Peter. Just watched that dvd today.
I think he did all of the Moonlapse solo but don't really remember.
