Still day beneath the sun

[Arnold Layne]

Can anyone play it on the geetar? Im finding some of those chord changes hard, any suggestions? Its the first Opeth clean song Ive tried.

 

[TehLeperAffinity]

I played it once at my friend's house because he has a capo. It wasn't hard or anything, I just didn't memorize it.

 

[Arnold Layne]

I got the capo, and a powertab. Ill keep at it though. The chorus is kick ass.

[JoeVice]

i have never even heard it!!! i need to get around to that soon.

 

[Forest of Åsatrú]

I had a really hard time with it, too. Once you get the capo on there, you'll learn it quick, fun song to play. Patterns in the Ivy II is easier to play though...

i still don't understand the purpose of a capo.

 

[dorian gray]

who cares? capos are for suckers.

They change the key.

They act like moving the nut down the neck.

How kinky.

Still Day isn't too hard - your fingers get used to the chord changes and all if you just repeat it over and over. Patience, my young padawan.

i've got my opeth tabs on http://opeth.splinder.com

as far as i know:
still day... has a capo on 3rd fret
patterns II has a capo on 1st fret
windowpane & hope leaves have a capo on 2nd fret
demon & blackwater park are in dropped D tuning
all the rest is in normal tuning

not all of us have freak of nature long fingers, sometimes we need some help...

you know, when some people sing a song, a capo is the only way to get the guitar in the right tune for the singer.

for example, 'trains' by PT is recorded with a capo on the 5th fret, probably we wouldn't have the same effect without it. and i don't think you can stretch guitar strings too much without breaking them.
in the last tour, SW plays the same song with a capo on the 2nd fret, probably it's easier for him to sing in that tune.

the word is "key", not "tune"

capos are essential if you want to get a certain key at a certain paces. Otherwise you'd need fingers like rulers.... capos rule.

Sometimes a song just sounds plain better when played in a higher key.
