Ghost Of Perdition (Opeth) - Bass Cover (With Tabs) by Leo Düzey

[@LeoBassCovers2]

The intro is slightly wrong. Every start of the 4th bar in this 8 bar riff starts off differently. I transcribed the song before I knew that the official bass line was up on KZbin. You can find the correct version here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3SUe59jmLBnrqc

[@alexandermazilu7087]

This was pretty helpful. Theres a few other riffs in this song that would be helpful to break down like this. Example, those 9 note bursts around the 6:27 mark? Theres a few riffs in this monster of a song that would be great to hear without vocals and slowed down to the click or drums as in this link. Great stuff. I love this channel. Thank you!

[@merschavonia4745]

Damn, I never really realized how awesome some of Opeth’s bass lines truly are before I watched your channel. Martin Mendez, underrated imo.

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Very underrated..

[@nathanrogers8460]

I don't understand why they bury these bass lines in the mix. He's playing his ass off and you can barely hear any of it.

[@LeoBassCovers2]

@@nathanrogers8460 You can feel it though. Remove the bass and it's suddenly super empty.

[@dogbiscuits752]

Didn’t Mikael write this bassline, though?

[@merschavonia4745]

@@dogbiscuits752 don’t care, cool nevertheless. 🤣

[@forsaken.cowboy]

Opeth has some amazing bass lines. Well done man.

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Definitely! Thank you :)

[@alexandermazilu7087]

I think this is the toughest Opeth song I've encountered yet going through your channel. Cant believe how challenging it is, and how creative Martin Mendez is. Some of these riffs are really complicated and long, and robust, yet groove oriented and just brutal. I love it. This is one of the reasons Ghost Reveries is their magnus opus, awesome song writting and amazing bass work. I can clearly see this one is going to take me a good while to learn, but thats how you grow as a musician. Push yourself to play challenging songs. This song is challenging to me, I am curious to know which Opeth songs have been the most challenging for you. Really impressive cover and tabs Leo. Thank you very much.

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Oh definitely. I have covered about 60 Opeth songs and this song will always be the most difficult song. Lotus Eater comes close, but it's not quite as intense as this one. The part at 1:22 is already so difficult to master. So yeah, good luck with learning this one man!

[@residentkrockhead]

This song is really challenging when played finger-style! It’s also really gotten me into older Opeth because I actually first heard them with their stuff from Sorceress. I love the technical style of writing here. Cheers!

[@elmerjarpegard4222]

Got most of it whilst doing vocals at the same time, I only have trouble with the outro and the 9:00 mark, thank you so so much!! You don't realise how helpful you are!

[@LeoBassCovers2]

That part lifts this song from difficult to really quite difficult.. Glad to hear man!

[@benhemsworth8555]

Ghost Reveries, man. What else is there is to say?

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Literally nothing..

[@PhoebusAmoebus]

Damn, I never realized how much was going on in the bassline in this song. It's so freaking good.

[@swannautiluskayk4642]

even looking at it was so painful i cant imagine how tough it was to record it in one take

[@svimono]

After a couple of months practicing I finally learn the song!!, thanks Leo for all your content

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Glad I could help man!

[@leefcm]

Thank you so much for all these videos Leo! Opeth have been my favourite band for years and I’m so grateful your videos are here so I can get round to practicing these songs so easily! :D You’re a king for this!

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Hey no problem! I'm just glad I can help in a way :)

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Wow, thank you!

[@aaednnrf]

What a beautiful thing to see/hear! One of my favorite Opeth songs. Thanks!

[@TheMork]

Hey Leo I'm loving this new version of your video - much easier to follow. The only thing it's missing is that huge sigh of relief at the end! Keep up the awesome work :)

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Forgot about that sigh at the end haha! Glad to hear though :)

[@andrewcasey8580]

This is disgusting how beautiful this is..... Good heavens....

[@LudwigJager7]

That seems hard! Thanks for the effort, man! Good job!

[@LeoBassCovers2]

It really is.. thank you!

[@bassdriver1000]

Благодаря тебе узнал о такой классной группе, спасибо.

[@theseuskotselas4015]

Playing most bands I play it's like what half an hour at best to get a bassline through.With Opeth its like a boss fight, this must've taken me at least 4 hours in total. What a monster jam

[@LeoBassCovers2]

And the worst part: most of their songs are like that. Boss fights left right and center

[@TheBazookaaa]

My friend got by back again. God bless you and bless your whole family.

[@pdrummer666]

Dude you have skills

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thank you!

[@aidenthwaits2646]

I’m trying to work my way through the master playlist. I think this is harder than hessian peel but less tiring. Very good 👍

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thank you! I think the difference is that Ghost of Perdition is easier to play when you don't have to stress about which riff will come next. At some point it all just clicks. Hessian Peel is reallly tiring indeed

[@odonias]

Awesome!

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thanks!

[@6md]

i can play the section between 2:35 and 4:27 lol

[@Aboody2hotty]

same here

[@andreagrieco7113]

Well done

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thanks :)

[@liraizh7015]

wow this is really good man. thank you sooo much. but how the hell you play this kinda things without tabs???

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Lots and lots of playing I guess. To the point where it becomes muscle memory

[@SoulAndSo]

these bass lines arent buried in the mix, they simply carry the song. Thats the beauty of Martin Mendez

[@colossoh10]

Amazing

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thank you :)

Still my fave Opeth song.

[@lukaweiss9147]

Why this song isn't in the "master" difficulty level? The first riffs Sound really hard

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Whoops, that one should've been in Master from the beginning! It's in there now

[@adityastrcoep]

Bro, can you please make a bass cover for the song Nepenthe from the Heritage album? I really love that song but haven't found any bass cover.

[@mohabekub]

great cover especially nice tone, what effects/stomps/cabs are you using

[@LeoBassCovers2]

No effects for this one. It's all digital so I can't really give you a proper cab name or whatever.

[@Ben2346v]

well done. i love opeth. but.. those bass lines. how does he remember them?! there so complex! anyway keep up the awsome work!

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thank you! I guess it's just second nature after you play it a bunch of times every day. As of today, they have played it 431 times live...

[@anuragbhattacharya8121]

Great cover! What pedals are you using?

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thanks! Actually no pedals in this song I think.

[@sahanmendis9879]

How does one even develop the right hand speed to play the riff at 6:27?

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Three finger technique!

[@ronkozlowski8169]

@@LeoBassCovers2 i did notice that from you. the pinky isnt the end all. love the help bro.

[@ZMan96]

@@LeoBassCovers2does Martin Mendez use that same technique? I feel like I’ve only ever seen him use two

[@LeoBassCovers2]

@@ZMan96 Most certainly, in a lot of songs he uses three fingers

[@ZMan96]

@@LeoBassCovers2 i looked into it a bit more, I saw him doing in it in a live performance of this song, it looked like 4 fingers but I couldn’t tell. Sometimes bassists will look like they’re using 4 because the pinky flops around

[@blackktulu]

Love your vids! Where do you get your backing tracks from?

[@LeoBassCovers2]

Thanks! I just use to original tracks and remove most low frequencies from the song :)

[@Bi3n0z]

If u wrote every single note from scratch by yourself you have priceless hearing

[@LeoBassCovers2]

I always do everything by ear! However, this video is from 2018 and there is one part during the intro riff that is slightly wrong. I wish I could change that but oh well. Thank you very much though!
