And that's pretty much all the lead parts in the entire song. It's one of my favourites
for opeth and I have to say I really had a rough time figuring out the solo!
This was requested by a number of well.. people. So i thought no harm in doing it so.. here it is:
Guitar 1(Acoustic or classical) E|--------------------------0-1p0-------------------| B|---3------3-------3-------------1-----1-----------| G|----2------2-------2--------------0h2---2---------| D|-0---0------0-----------0-----------------3p0-----| A|---------3-------0--------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------| Guitar 1 E|------------------------------------------| B|---3-------3-------3--0-1p0-------2--2----| G|----2-------2---------------2-----2--2----| D|-0---0-------0----------------2-----------| A|---------3-------0----------------0--0----| E|------------------------------------------| Guitar 1(Acoustic or classical) E|-----------------------------0-1p0-------------------| B|------3------3-------3-------------1-----1-----------| G|-------2------2-------2--------------0h2---2---------| D|----0---0------0-----------0-----------------3p0-----| A|------------3-------0--------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------------|
