So you'd like to make an Opeth song, but you have no talent...

You too can play like Mike Akerfeldt simply by following these easy steps!

1) Absolutely randomize to tuning on your guitar (i.g. fuck it up)
2) Crank up the reverb on your system
3) Play minor bar chords in a random fingerpicking pattern
4) Choose a name thats evil, yet mystical and beautiful (I chose Sorrowful Lamentations of the Moonlit River Mist)
5) If you choose to go the extra mile, use a voice effect with tons of reverb and whisper small messages such as "a white face reflected in the deep chasm of this stream in the pitch black forest of solitude"

And there you have it, perhaps not as good as anything Akerfeldt has ever done, but you're on your way!

Example of a finished work: http://www.digitalsoundplanet.com/M...010537_proj.mp3

That recording is too lame to be even considered a joke.
The list made me chuckle tough.

I dont care what you think, but.. I like Opeth.

EDIT: This really probably might somehow not belong here and it really doesnt contribute anything.

Im not assuming anything.
I just want the the world to know that i like Opeth.
And when thats accomplished, my brain will explode and the world will slowly die off in a somewhat maniacal black metal fasion.

EDIT: Im too Lazy too fix my spelling errors.

Let me make one for....let's say COB for now.
1. Have a midget glamor girl to be ur singer.
2. Have tons of synth leads, actually so much to the point that it's like you're listening to a video game.
3. Basically have an invisible bassist.
4. Have Heineken, TONS of Heineken.
5. Have ur vocalist spit on the stage like every 5 seconds.
There you go, enjoy.

Correctbut thats the way i am and you know that Cat Man.

While pretty funny( I consulted TBS on that one) Its still IMO very irrelevant to guitar discussion, and more akin to somthing like bands or chit-chat.

But yes pretty funny.

Thanks for the laugh. Opeth is probably my favorite band and that still had me rolling.

My post wasn't intended to make fun of Opeth. It was to give people a little something to fool around with. Bah

I like Cradle of Filth's sound
I like Dani Filth's vocals
Who cares about height?
stolen black metal riffs? cradle of filth sound pretty original to me

judging by your username you dont know metal too much

oh, and, stop overexaggerating your hissy fits

i also like cradle of filth. and i also like dani filth's vocals. it's hard to be original. get a sense of humour mate. this is purely a joke thread.

cryptopsy: <.< >.>

1. throw a bunch of random two string chords together, different for each guitar
2. get a snarling bass guitar and a drum sound so nobody knows what the hell your playing, it sounds like a massive blurry mess.
3. change your singer every 3 weeks
4. take a million years to write those random chords
5. listen

and i love crypters too.
