I haven't got the Damnation album... I'm surely getting it now! Anyway you nailed the Opeth style, really well done!!- shammy5th November 2007
what can I do to get my fingers to stretch further. I need some exercises, obviously I had trouble with that chord that goes from 2f to 4th to 6th fret without releaseing fingers. Nice Job btw!!!
Gabriel Leopardi6th November 2007Yes. this kind of chord changes is a bit difficult. Practice this chord change slowly from the first chord to the second and then returning to the first chord again. You'll find it more comfortable if you practice some time.

drama!!
very nice, sounds good. - Gabriel Leopardi15th February 2009
Hey! Thank you for the comments! I used a Marshall Valvestate mod 8080 clean and dist channel. I don't remember the exact settings but you have to set the gain very high to get that sustain. That guitar helps too.
Alexiaden9326th July 2009Very gloomy song indeed !
