Opeth - Godhead's Lament
 
Transcribed by: Jeremy Disten, Jester
Additions corrections: Mr. Niel 
 
Since this is a combination of tabs, some of the rhythm is tabbed, some is not.
Listen carefully.

Rock!!!!!

Sorry about the formatting...There are lots of guitars on this song, this is a combination of watching the inferno vid and the other existing tabs with corrections. Sounds good to me...

 

[Ermz]

Right on!

PS. Thanks for fixing up all those damned open notes in this version. It was getting really irritating having to replace all these open runs with closed ones on the guitar pro tab.

 

[FretsAflame]

What's the inferno vid?

 

[Protected Witness]

What's the inferno vid?

Opeth live @ the Inferno Festival 2003.

Ask for it by name.

 

[Ermz]

And before you ask... yes the bass drum really does sound that shitty

 

[Protected Witness]

Yeah, the bass drum is a little fucked up sounding during Godhead's lament, like only one is miced.

 

[FretsAflame]

Opeth live @ the Inferno Festival 2003.

Ask for it by name.

consider this my asking for it by name, please help me find it, or if you have it hook me up. Is it a computer file, bootleg video, or actually manufactured and sold?
