My guitar cover of Opeth's masterpiece off of Still Life (1999). Link to isolated performance audio for those curious: drive.google.com/drive/folder... Instagram: / jackmanges
Hey all! I've gotten a few requests for tabs/isolated audio of this cover, so for those interested - I've decided to share the full audio of my guitar parts isolated, and without the backing track. You can find that link here: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1cZhkfsltGNmdX6c_zD8AkgY84jIz6XlA?usp=sharing Let me know if there's any issues accessing it. The response to this cover has been overwhelmingly positive, so I'd like to just say thank you to everyone for your kind words and support! Jack
I've been contributing greatly to the tab of The Moor on Songsterr but I've never seen anybody manage to pull off this song so spot on, I need to rework the whole thing now!
Thanks a lot! I learned it largely by ear so I can't speak to it being 100% accurate, but if you have any questions about certain parts I'd be happy to help.
This is simply AMAZING, man. This is the opening track to my favorite album of all time and it's one heck of a tall order to play, much less, ALL parts. Well done!
simply amazing. very well done and the fact that you learnt it by ear is mind boggling. sure some riffs are easy to parse because a lot of them are a sequence of single notes, but most of the riffs in this song feature weird chords that make it harder to tell what's exactly being played, not to mention the distortion of the guitars AND the fact it's in the context of a full mix. mad respect
No wonder they never play this live. I've heard Michael say he doesn't know what how he came up with the material for this album. It's probably their most intricate release in my opinion. YMMV. Great cover. I'm amazed at your skill and precision. Lots of emotion in your playing too. Michael would be proud.
Thanks for your kind words! They actually have played this live a decent amount to my knowledge, or at least enough that there are multiple live videos here on youtube which definitely helped in terms of figuring out the parts.
@@VignetteQ Yeah. You're probably right. I just listened to an interview with Michael and he went through all the albums from Orchid to the latest album. He mentioned that the songs on Still Life were some of his most complicated arrangements. It may be my favourite Opeth album, but that's hard to pick.
Dude, Amaaaaaazing!!!! One of the best Opeth songs of their discography, that's for sure, I find it so good to play and like Mikael himself said on the stage during the last shows of the XXX Evolution tour (I was there) "it's a little bit of a bitch of a song this one, but sometimes is kind of fun to play" 😄I agree, it's fun but there are some parts that might be tricky while singing on a stage. Your cover is so accurate! Applause!
Killin' it, young blood! I saw them in '99 at the Milwaukee Metal Fest. People at the show said it was their first U.S. appearance. No idea if that's true or not, but that show changed my musical tastes forever. Keep up the good work. Fantastic cover!
Dude, this is fucking insanely accurate. Can't compliment it enough. I need to know, how did you got your tones?? And what model ebow is that? I've been looking into getting one myself. Also, what tremolo pedal did you use? Sorry for the nosiness haha
Amazing work man best cover i have ever seen for any song ever in youtube. You nailed every detail and you are also very talented too. Editing and mix is nicely done too
Wow this is amazing! Not only is your performance spot on (with all the different layers, that's impressive), but the production is incredible too! I feel like a lot of covers don't do the production justice.
Good Job ! Thankyou for sharing, so cool to actually ''see'' the whole riffs being played and all the arrangements as well. A lot of work to nail this one and to produce this video.
that's funny, I was compelled to refer to him as a "lad" as well... 'cause we're old and have been listening to Opeth from before our friend here was born more than likely. How great is this right? An affirmation if nothing else....
Killer job man, some pretty high level playing. Love the way you filmed it, it lends to the whole atmosphere that Opeth is all about. Love it 🤘😎🤘 -Best of luck on your music and your channel, and much support from one player to another. Liked and subbed.
That was certainly my plan, and still is to an extent. I think I'm gonna take a break from these for a while though, and focus on my own music. These take longer than I would have thought! I just wanted to get this song specifically done before I moved on. Hopefully I did it justice. I'm sure I'll get to the rest of the album some day. Thanks for watching!
Também me pergunto, as músicas de Opeth parecem trilhas sonoras de filmes, tem um nível de progressão que parece uma narração de uma história. É pesado e bonito ao mesmo tempo.
Hats off to you. I've never seen someone put so much effort into covering a song as much as you did. Also, I was wondering how your performance would sound without the song in the back so thanks for including it. Stellar job, keep it up!
Molto, molto bravo. Complimenti! Cover realizzata con assoluto rigore. Direi perfetta! Spero tu possa proporne altre mostrando altrettanta tecnica e passione.
até as guitarras foram escolhidas para o momento certo. A prs com captador humbucker para momento de distorção, e a strato captador single para suave com som mais puro da guitarra.
Absolutely amazing cover of a very difficult Opeth song. Can only imagine how much time it must have taken to nail each little detail. Which gear do you if you don't mind? I find the guitar tones very accurate, which amazes me since their guitar tone isn't straight forward to recreate.

Thank you so much for this!
Thank you so mucu man. I hope you would reach great spots in your life as a guitar player. You have much talent
Really amazing the amount of detail you got in your cover dude . What amp or amp sim are you using ?
Any chance of doing some Guitar Pro tabs?
The best opeth guitar cover i've seen
I've been contributing greatly to the tab of The Moor on Songsterr but I've never seen anybody manage to pull off this song so spot on, I need to rework the whole thing now!
Thanks a lot! I learned it largely by ear so I can't speak to it being 100% accurate, but if you have any questions about certain parts I'd be happy to help.
@@VignetteQ hey what was that tool you were using when doing the underlying slow solo. I thought you were using some sort of sustainer.
@@zeusolympus1664 he was using an e-bow
I'm an old man and I've waited 20 years for a cover of The Moor like this. Amazing job, this is just perfect.
The cover is so identical, that I blocked my smartphone screen thinking I was listening to the original. congratulations, it looks amazing
That's certainly what I was aiming for. The original track IS still there though, I just put my guitar parts over it.
Thanks!
I find my self coming back to this cover quite often. At least youtube reminds me to..
This is simply AMAZING, man. This is the opening track to my favorite album of all time and it's one heck of a tall order to play, much less, ALL parts. Well done!
Thank you!
The songs quality is better than i remember and so it makes me feel like i'm experiencing this song for the very first time again... thank you : ' )
simply amazing. very well done
and the fact that you learnt it by ear is mind boggling. sure some riffs are easy to parse because a lot of them are a sequence of single notes, but most of the riffs in this song feature weird chords that make it harder to tell what's exactly being played, not to mention the distortion of the guitars AND the fact it's in the context of a full mix. mad respect
Very talented. Opeth is incredibly difficult to play with all of the chord progressions.
No wonder they never play this live. I've heard Michael say he doesn't know what how he came up with the material for this album. It's probably their most intricate release in my opinion. YMMV. Great cover. I'm amazed at your skill and precision. Lots of emotion in your playing too. Michael would be proud.

Mamma mia, this is absolutely astonishing work! Truly the most accurate Opeth cover both in technique and tonality! Cheers!
A true musician
Thank you!
What's ur age btw?

Great playing, great video, great editing. Well done lad, well done!
that's funny, I was compelled to refer to him as a "lad" as well... 'cause we're old and have been listening to Opeth from before our friend here was born more than likely. How great is this right? An affirmation if nothing else....
One of the finest cover of opeth
This is master level of song covering.
Bro you’re fucking talented. I loved this cover.
Killer job man, some pretty high level playing. Love the way you filmed it, it lends to the whole atmosphere that Opeth is all about. Love it 🤘😎🤘 -Best of luck on your music and your channel, and much support from one player to another. Liked and subbed.
Thanks!
That cover deserves a subscription
One of the best covers period! Keep up the amazing work. Hopefully you'll be able to cover the whole album, that would be awesome.
That was certainly my plan, and still is to an extent. I think I'm gonna take a break from these for a while though, and focus on my own music. These take longer than I would have thought! I just wanted to get this song specifically done before I moved on. Hopefully I did it justice. I'm sure I'll get to the rest of the album some day.
Thanks for watching!
Ainda me pergunto, como um ser humano é capaz de criar algo tão completo e perfeito... Opeth rules
Exato
Também me pergunto, as músicas de Opeth parecem trilhas sonoras de filmes, tem um nível de progressão que parece uma narração de uma história. É pesado e bonito ao mesmo tempo.
Real talent
Dude wtf this is insane
heavy metal 🖤 🤘
Amazing
Excellent 👍
You nailed the classical/acoustic parts! What is your acoustic, if I may ask?
Thank you! It's a Taylor 714ce.
This amazing cover. If you have done it by ear, well then massive respect to you.
Hats off to you. I've never seen someone put so much effort into covering a song as much as you did. Also, I was wondering how your performance would sound without the song in the back so thanks for including it. Stellar job, keep it up!
Thank you!
WOOOOWWWW PERFECT!!!

Best opeth guitar cover ever
Disgustingly awesome
You've got good ears 😉 Awesome cover!
até as guitarras foram escolhidas para o momento certo. A prs com captador humbucker para momento de distorção, e a strato captador single para suave com som mais puro da guitarra.

Amazing! It's almost as if it's the original track
you are veru talented my friend!! this is GOLD.
did you transcribe it all by ear?
Wow this is an amazing cover!! What were you using In the intro to play the string without picking it?
Excellent!.. Moonlapse Vertigo next please !
imagine doing all that and singing, it's Mikael.
Fan-fucking-tastic cover.
