Opeth - Face of Melinda (Cover)
Cover of Opeth's "Face of Melinda" off of Still Life (1999).
This song is important. This song was the first ever Opeth track that I heard. I've planned on covering it since before I even did my first cover, but sort of instinctively felt for the longest time that I wouldn't be able to execute it properly. For some reason, recently I felt it was finally time to tackle this one. To add to the difficulty, no guitar player of Opeth has played a lot of the parts completely accurately to the original recording in live performances. This includes even Mikael himself when he re-recorded the acoustics for the 5.1 mix of Still Life! I tried to be as accurate to the original as possible. In the end, I've probably still got a few things wrong. Hopefully I was still able to do justice to this amazing piece of music.

Opeth - Benighted (Cover)
Переглядів 2,7 тис.2 місяці тому
Cover of Opeth's "Benighted" off of Still Life (1999). Back to Still Life finally! This is a song I learned how to play a long time ago, but put off covering. I recently learned what acoustic strings were used on the album, and bought a pack for my guitar. For some reason that inspired me to finally sit down and work this one out properly. It's one of my favorite songs ever, and I wanted to be ...

Composer: Yasunori Mitsuda Arrangement by Washi981. I played this game for the first time a year or so ago after hearing about how brilliant it was for the longest time, and boy did it not disappoint! I can definitely see why it is regarded as one of the greatest games of all time, with one of the greatest music scores as well. This track was one of my favorites while playing, and I happened to...

Was going to throw this up as a short but didn't feel like chopping off either end for the length limit... also I love this song! This is my favorite of the "Bulb demos" from the mid 2000s-ish. Great one to learn those stretchy Misha Mansoor chords too... Still hoping this makes a Periphery album someday! Track audio is from the "1.5" version posted on youtube by 3DOT. Instagram: ...

This was mindblowing man. Waiting for Blackwater park
Great job as always, Jack. Impeccable skill and technique. Nobody I know comes close to your playing. Keep up the great work.
We are here again🙌🏻 great cover. How many years have you been playing guitar?
Thanks! Around 12-13 years now I think.
Wow dude, I've always heard to "be as light as possible" when fretting, but you look like you're barely even touching the strings. I've got a long way to go
Incredible cover
Absolutely superb! Well done. Mikael definitely plays a more streamlined, staccato version of the heavy riff live. I'll be watching and listening more closely later on to figure out exactly what you are doing. Your covers are beyond compare!
Thanks as always!
I always come back to watch these covers every few months, so stoked to be surprised with a new cover! You have by far and away the most accurate opeth covers I've ever seen, always gives me chills. Amazing stuff!
Thanks a lot!
hell yeah. awesome job man. I love using your videos as a reference for learning these songs by ear. Currently working on benighted and now ill have to do this track.
Glad they help you out!
I dont think people fully understand how difficult it is to get it to sound this clean and spot on, your covers are always soooo good. Keep it up😁
😍🤩🤩🤩🤩 my favorite song of the record !.. wow❤
Well done man! Amazing as always
Thanks for your bass teachings and mix feedback Leo! You're the man.
Ur videos of The Moor and Godhead Lament were my learning guide. I guess it's time to learn this song then
Hermoso
opeth opeth opeth....
Your covers are always immaculate my dude. Hope the band sees them someday
_Saintjon from wow here. Great stuff Vig! your a very talented young man!_ Cheers! 👏👏👏 Subbed!
Beautiful!
Insanely good!
Amazing cover! May i ask how do you achieve that tone on the solo? I'm struggling with tone for a long time, but i can't find anyone that explains it well. Also general tone tips will be appreciated.
That tone is just SO smooth
Thanks! It's difficult to give tips there since tone is subjective and it's hard to advise you without knowing your setup and exactly what you're aiming to achieve, but I can say that it really comes from a combination of many things put together. On that sound there's the DI running through a J48 DI box into my audio interface, running through the clean amp from Archtype Nolly, into an IR from GGD. The amp and IR will have probably the biggest impact on the tone. But also there's EQ and compression in Archtype Nolly, there's EQ and compression on my clean guitar bus, more EQ and compression/limiting/saturation on my master bus. Then there's the guitar, fresh strings, pickup position (using the middle position there on my PRS). And of course none of all of that matters if your playing isn't good. All these things put together add up.
@@VignetteQ And what of the EQ?
@@VignetteQ also, thanks man! Didn't expect to get a reply, especially not so fast lol
Absolutely phenomenal mate! The best cover I’ve ever seen of this amazing song. 🔥🔥🔥
🔥
oh my god, this is by far one of the most perfect take on this, I love how easy you make it seem, but is actually pretty hard to play, I mean its hard for me as a beginner lol.
Great playing man. And great fucking tone too.
This is in my top 3 of Opeth songs. So beautiful, so brutal. Well done guys you crushed it! 🫡
Good shit that fucking rocked!
I love this! Very well done😁
dude you're so clean

Your technique is awesome dude. Seriously if I ever get stuck trying to learn something opeth I watch your videos and see how you play things.
Thanks!
I rarely make coments on youtube vids, but this cover is so perfect i have to praise it, bro nailed the song and mastered the tone, got so perfect it sounds like the original, well done mate!!!
Master piece, nice guitar tone, congratulations.
I’m so glad the classics of my youth are being appreciated by generations to come
just...just...perfect!!!

Damn that Taylor sounds amazing
❤❤❤ Salam me From Indonesian 🇮🇩

Awesome dude! The tone is really close to the original, what is your rig?
Extremely smooth playing!
Damn, sounds like original.

Could you please make a cover of "When"?
I've thought about it. Maybe someday!
Please do a full cover of when or karma :)
nice to see a young person in this day and age appreciating Opeth, love the cover
yo dude this is THE BEST benighted cover I've ever seen. Also, I have a request, can you cover Opeth's windowpane just like this ? I'll be glad to hear from you. <3
Thanks! Maybe someday.
