   Hi GMC!

Today we have a lesson in the style of the great progressive metal band Opeth. We are going to look at some of the elements they incorporate in their music.

This lessons helps you use:
-Octaves
-More trickier riffs
-The Tritone powerchord, which is basically a powerchord but with an added flat 5 interval

Opeth incorporates many styles of music from folk to jazz with metal, and they also have lots of clean and acoustic passages. If you want to hear them, check out some of their cd's like Blackwater Park or Still Life.

Also I added a few drum backings for you to practise this slowly.

-Tuning : Standard E
-Tempo : 170bpm

Hope you have fun with this lesson!

-Toni Suominen

Hi Toni,
Actually I use TuxGuitar (I am strictly a Linux junkie) and they open gp5 files. I have downloaded many others from this site but for someone reason this one refuses to open. No big deal, I still have the tab. Thanks again for the top notch lessons.
