Video guitar lesson with Mike, Peter and Martin - The Drapery Falls

[IAmTheAntichrist]

Good stuff!

I'm not sure how many of you have already seen this, but I stumbled upon it recently and thought it was a fun 25 minutes of "candid" Opeth. Also a great look at the real way to play the chords on the song.

[Darkfloyd]

Yeah it's pretty old, but cool.

 

[Pseud0]

yea cool stuff. Pretty lengthy too

 

[Ermz]

Yeah it's old. But it's a good video.. it definately aided accurate tabbing of the song.

 

[IAmTheAntichrist]

I just figured some of you weren't completely sick of Drapery yet so I thought this might push you over the edge...........

Oh well, it was new to me anyway =D

 

[a síctia]

The Russian riff is their best

 

[taken by the reaper]

anyone notice how in the second video he explains why he uses riffs that, by themselves, would sound awful..?

well he says that they do it to explore the guitar more becuz other bands explore and try new things by bringing in another vocalist or keyboarder...

so as Opeth explores their guitars, in comes Per..lol i just found it a little ironic

 

[IAmTheAntichrist]

Mikes getting bored with guitar. The next album will be all kazoos.

 

[deliverance]

dark floyd, i don't like the fact that your avy makes peter look like alexi laiho.

 

[the_drip]

it's like someone bumped a thread from three years ago! wow!

good video

 

[Arnold Layne]

Thats the worst pic of her I have ever seen, shame on you.

 

[The_Isle]

Hey deliverance, mind removing the sig, it's fucking disgusting.

 

[Anarkissed]

Ah man, I bet we'll be seeing so many more threads like this popping up in the next few months, as Opeth becomes more and more popular.

Good vid though! It's quite cool watching them playing a heavy song like that on clean electric guitars.

I notice sometimes Mr. Lindgren and Mr. Åkerfeldt play things harder than they need to be.

This chord

4:---
5:-5-
6:-9-

is much more easily played like this

4:-0-
5:-4-
6:---

Also, about Per....keep in mind that this video is like 4 years old (at least 3).

Keep in mind that each string sounds different, even if you play the same note. Also in this case, you add an open string, which also has it's own unique sound and 'properties'. Other that that, yeah, it's just wanking.

what he said...

 

[Man In Black]

Bass player looks pretty pissed off when he starts playing and 5 seconds later mike stops.

 

[IAmTheAntichrist]

"We like solos too, but we're no... Jeff Loomis...." ......

Bass isn't pissed - he's just doing his best Scarlett Johansen "I'm too sexy for this video" impression.

Bass ruuuuuuulz!!!!!! Without him the dry guitars would have sounded bad.

Motice the camera guy didn't realize Mike was talking about the other Martin when describing the "hard/technical" part. Dude zooms in to Bass's frethand during it expecting some ungodly fretboard gymnastics only to realize he's playing the same thing as Mike


I love this video

 

[Øjeblikket]

Are there any Opeth videos for any Opeth songs?
