Do you have Guitar Pro version 5? It should work with it. - r_seal6th February 2008
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. - ILOVEGUITAR16th February 2008

Great job! You hit the nail on the head; very Opeth-ish!
midnight29th October 2008Really like this one! I've never really played heavy stuff quite in this style before. The picking is a little strange compared to the basic riffs that I usually mess with...really got to relax the hand.
I'm going to give your other lessons a try. Thanks.

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 lesson helps you use:
-Octaves
-More trickier riffs
-The Tritone power chord, which is basically a power chord 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 cds like Blackwater Park or Still Life.
Also I added a few drum backings for you to practice this slowly.
-Tuning: Standard E
-Tempo: 170bpm
Hope you have fun with this lesson!
-Toni Suominen
