No one teaches Opeth. Thank you so much, subscribed!
There actually is an older video of Mikael and Fredrik going through the song, but not in this much detail
There's another dude on here called "eezerian" who gives a few tab-lessons. Bad audio quality, but good instructions
51:43 me watching how to play Opeth and not being a guitarist. I don't know what I'm doing here, but man, THAT'S TERRIFIC
wig went flying
I'm on a mission to learn this song and play it perfectly, so thank you for this! It really shows off your prowess but more importantly it highlights just how freaking brilliant Opeth is. The guitars on this are SO creative and unique. Akerfeldt is a music genius. No, no; he's a god.
He perfected the art of progressive death metal
now 7 months later you perfected it?
Did you learn it
Interestingly, if you listen to the isolated tracks from the surround mix of Watershed, one of the guitar tracks plays an E (b5)maj7 instead of just E(b5). To put it in tablature, one guitar plays 0-1-2-x-x-x- and the other plays 0-1-1-x-x-x. I always wondered why I couldn't make it sound quite as dissonant as the recording, but now I know it's because I need another guitarist to play the major seventh!
Fishbone Mash nice! I never would’ve caught that
Great tutorial! Just realised I'm a bassist, so the fact I'm here says something.
Amazing lesson, very accurate, they should hire you to tab their stuff for an official book or something...
Thanks, Dave! I’m a guitar teacher as well as the frontman for Turrigenous, and I’m constantly doing my own transcriptions for students (trying to be as accurate as possible, no matter what). Ghost of Perdition coming tomorrow! -Greg
Great video! One of the heaviest songs in Standard tuning
Greg was a teacher of mine when was younger, he's great at what he does. I also got a used Turrigenous CD from a record store in Binghamton without even realizing at first haha
29:32 that clean sweep was so cute lol
1:30 in and it's already one of the best youtube tutorials for guitar i've seen haha. well done man, appreciate the video a lot
This is awesome man thank you
It would be amazing if you could continue this series. Best opeth lessons and tabs that I've seen, really helped with my learning. Would be happy with any opeth track of your choosing.
Excellent breakdown on this song. Thanks for putting this up!
You are the chilly dude teacher that’s accurate as hell and funny as well!
Great 👍🏼 subscribed
Thanks! I’m trying to be accurate as possible. Not trying to be funny, though...
Thank you very much sir! Hope you breakdown more Opeth songs, like the lotus eater!!!
As soon as we're done with guitars on our album and out of the studio, you got it!
Willian souza; I’ll second that!!
TurringenousOfficial, a video covering The Lotus Eater would be much appreciated.
Or Ghost of Perdition maybe...?
I love your delivery and pace. thank you for this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You are a amazing teacher.
Marcelo de Sousa Aragão thanks so much! In that’s what we do in addition to making music
This is golden - thank you so much!
you nailed the guitar tone. bravo man
Greg, you are my hero. I have stumbled upon your channel after having used tons of really shitty tabs.
Your tab and thorough explanation is absolutely heroic. Many thanks from the Netherlands, subbed for life.
My fav song by them!! Well Forest of October is my number one but this is up there lol thanks for this! I don’t even play guitar sadly but I really enjoyed this ^.^ your play through omg ! *drools*
you sir are a legend i can't thank you enough man definitely subbed.
Your guitar tone is perfect, whats your setup? Also, thanks for the great tutorial
To listen back I was using the little Blackstar, but just using my DAW's amp plugin for the video mix. Of course, using a PRS never hurts ;-)
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Been messing around with the riff and song. Just great. Though doing it on a 509. Cheers.
Thank you so much for making this!! If you happen to have time and energy, it would be awesome if you made more of these! Subscribed and heading to buy some Turrigenous's merch!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it. I will have some more heavy music lessons soon, and eventually more Opeth. Hope you enjoy our originals as well!
There is so much wisdom in this lesson i can write a book
DUDE! You're a total boss, thanks so much! I just started picking through this song the other day and this video and tab are incredibly helpful! I love this song and it's wayyy out of my comfort zone. I'm stoked to play these riffs eh!
Amazing breakdown!
this is amazing thanks
Brilliant playing on this brilliant composition!
Thanks for this! Please do post more opeth tutorials. Really appreciate it :)
That PRS is so epic
I think this is one of the best -opeth guitar lesson video- thank you !
thank you mate! It´s beautiful to finally be able to play this
one part is played differently but its such a good lesson thanks man.
This is SICK you deserve more views
Great lesson, thanks a ton! I'm sure this takes some work on your part but more Opeth would be greatly appreciated.
Michael Sinclair sure! Any particular favorites? I have a few in mind, but please let me know!
TurrigenousOfficial well for me serenity painted death is one of my favorite songs ever but I’ll be cool with anything to be honest!
Thank you so much for this man
Standard tuning can't be heavy.
Opeth: Hold my beer
Amazing job!
Great job brother 👌
Ghost of Perdition Lensso please!
Agreed! That would be amazing. One of my favourite Opeth tracks!
It’s coming tomorrow. Sorry for the wait 😁
liked and subscribed man
still can't nail that fast passage in the solo haha.
You got this! Slow down, metronome, and speed it up 🤘🏻
More Opeth please!
38:07 E7 riff is amazing. what is your favorite part of this song ?
Probably the part I’m calling the “clean break”. By itself it’s an ok riff, but in the context of the song it’s totally brilliant. The E7 riff is definitely a close contender, though.
great guitar and great tone! cant really play this song with my emgs, sounds over produced and not as organic as passive pickups
While I'm not a huge fan of EMGs, you can usually get closer to the mark just by lowering the distortion on whatever amp you're going into. I find plugins a little more touchy, though, so that may be tougher.
You've got the tone spot on! Any explanation on what your setup is (other than the lovely PRS) :) Pedals, EQing, etc...
Thanks! Believe it or not, the PRS is a huge amount of the tone. While I have a Black Star Ht1 for listening as I play, you’re hearing the Ampire plugin included with the Studio One DAW. It’s pretty basic in terms of features, but the sounds are solid.
@@TurrigenousOfficial I use Ableton myself. So it's good to know I might be able to save on physical pedals. I guess I'll just have to buy that PRS I have my eye on :)
@@TurrigenousOfficialJust watching this again and I can't believe I didn't notice you're wearing a t-shirt from the Quays Bar in Galway, Ireland. I'm from Galway!
Great video dude!
idk why am I watching this when I don't have any guitar
🤣 Hope you enjoyed it!
pls teach ghost of perdition?
Check back tomorrow. Sorry for the wait 😁
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Please do a tutorial on lotus eater also
What's your go-to pick and string gauge combination?
In standard tuning I use tens. For electric guitar I use Jazz III XL. They’re essentially the perfect shape; not too rounded, not too pointy
standard tuning?
Yes
I dont know why im watching this i have to idea how to play guitar lmao
🤣
How can someone compose this...inhuman writing
Tabs or it didn't happen. Also, first.
Also, for real, your tone is so freaking spot on its stupid.
Standard tuning?
Yes it is ...it sounds like d but it’s e 😅
