Guys...they are two 'completely' different guitarists...I like Mike's fluency. He plays a solo like he's touching a feather or something. Peter, on the other hand, is more aggresive, like his solo in Deliverance. They are both very good and talented players and they both add very much in their music with their solos. I have several solos i like...some solos i still cant play, like the solos from white cluster, still need to practice those...
Poor Peter...

That was just not cool man... Peter is a great guitar player, you're like those fans of mike, not an Opeth fan.

He's allowed to preffer who he wants. Mike has been the main creative force behind Opeth for a while now, so it's natural people have tendancies to favour him.

I don't think you can really say who's better. Yes, Mike's solos probably fit Opeth better simpily because Mike writes all the other material. If Peter wrote most of the music then the opposite would be the case. I can see the two of them going thier oen ways in maybe five to ten years and either doing their own solo projects, or starting new bands where they are both the main creative forces.

Proof that both guitarists are awesome:
Peter:
-Wreath
-Deliverance
-Beneath The Mire
-When
Mike:
-A Fair Judgement
-Ghost of Perdition
-Windowpane
-Baying of the Hounds
Right there.

My personal favourite out of his solos has to be the second solo in The Amen Corner. I think he plays the solo that comes right after the part "Unwritten secrets beneath the cobwebs I cannot endure".
Very very good.

"Forest of October" is another good trade-off solo. Mike's is awesome in a whole-lot-of-notes-real-fast kinda way, but Peter's part is equally good. I like the fact that their phrasing is so different from one another...Mike is definitely bluesier, while Peter tends to stick to fairly established scales and arpeggios - but I think they always end up fitting the song perfectly. Great soloists, both of 'em.
