Your Favourite chords from Opeth songs

[BefriendedUnit]

Fixd

 

[GhostOfPudding]

B7 and D/F#?

 

[Luann]

Not Opeth-related but also a cool chord!

you were saying that dirge has cool chords, and in fact that one comes from dirge.

 

[Opion]

Once you break down a lot of the chords in Opeth songs you see how creative Mikael is with using identical chords in different ways, it's really cool & fun to play. I'm currently loving the play the one during the Lotus Eater when they break down into the "You're a moth too close to the fire" part - sadly like Mikael as well I have no idea what these chords are called, I just figure them out and jam along with em

 

[DarkGift]

^it's also in the solo-part on "to rid the disease"

Closure and drapery for awesome chordness

 

[Xarthaz]

WRONG.

B7 and D first inversion

 

[TEDIUM]

I love this one. I think it's used in Ending Credits.

C minor with an added 9th.

Commonly known as the intro for Drapery.

I remember seeing a vid or something where Mike said he thought that was the saddest sounding chord ever

C minor with an added 9th.

Commonly known as the intro for Drapery.

I love this one. I think it's used in Ending Credits.

That it is, as well as Em and the Amadd9

[Crepuscularia]

^ e d d f e = E7b9 (omit 5,3)??? Now that is unusual, which song is it from?

 

[Bleakh]

I love this one, it´s used in "In My Time Of Need":

E-0-
B-0-
G-4-
D-4-
A-2-
E-x-

And you gotta love this chord (not Opeth-related I believe, more a Blackfield/Porcupine Tree one):

E-2-
B-3-
G-0-
D-0-
A-2-
E-3-

 

[Glühwürmchen]

^ e d d f e = E7b9 (omit 5,3)??? Now that is unusual, which song is it from?

I actually can't recall from which song it was, but in one Video Mike referred to it as "The Drama Chord... we use it all the time"
Got a creepy, "metallic" sounding

 

[Altitudes]

And you gotta love this chord (not Opeth-related I believe, more a Blackfield/Porcupine Tree one):

E-2-
B-3-
G-0-
D-0-
A-2-
E-3-

How would you play this one, fret the low G with your thumb?

 

[Bleakh]

^ Yeah it´s a tricky one...I always do it that way:

E-2- index
B-3- pinky
G-0-
D-0-
A-2- middle
E-3- ring

However, I´ve just started, so I guess there are more "professional" ways to do it.

 

[Fields Of Sorrow]

WRONG.

B7 and D first inversion

....D with an Fsharp in the bass is D first inversion...
