Opeth - Ghost of Perdition - Guitar Cover (NO BACKING TRACK)

[@IDGAF_PLUS]

Yeah that was freaking awesome! You know what's NOT awsome? Having your integrity questioned. Good for you proving them wrong.

[@GeronimoEgea]

Agree! Thanks man!

[@bartsuijs7196]

Didn’t mind listening to the isolated track as well. Great playing as always. Would really like to see you tackle Inquisition - Darkness Flows Towards Unseen Horizons some time.

Acabo de darme cuenta de que hablas español! XD Espectacular video compa, llevo tiempo tratando de sacar varios riffs de este tremendo tema y tu trabajo va a facilitar muchísimo esa tarea. Muchas gracias!

[@GeronimoEgea]

Ah mira excelente jajajaja! Un bueno truco que tiene KZbin es que le puedes bajar la velocidad de la reproducción y verlo más lento, yo uso eso bastante (de hecho hasta lo usé con videos en vivo de Opeth tocando esto para poder sacarlo).

[@fcamiola]

Man this is gold. I love hearing just the instrument parts alone....the real deal! This video is the gold standard until Mikael and Frederik make one ;) Cheers Edit: I guess Peter could technically make one as well :)

[@GeronimoEgea]

Thank you very much! I would love it if more bands did playthroughs of their songs, specially bands like Opeth (although I guess that would leave my channel with no views hahaha). Cheers!

[@GeronimoEgea]

[@eugencristianudrea]

I've also started learning this full song about 3 weeks ago and I still have a lot to work and refine, especiall on the "Ah-Ah" part, doing that individual picking clean and fast is hard work. Not to mention the main solo. Other than that, have my like, that's a solid playthrough!

[@GeronimoEgea]

Thank you!

[@metalkicker23]

How do you get that intense tone

[@GeronimoEgea]

Thanks man! It's all Amplitube 4. It's their Mesa Boogie dual rectifier emulation, not that much gain, with a "tube screamer" in front and EQ. The leads was the same pretty much but with an OCD in front (more gain) and delay. The cleans was a twin reverb emulation, with some delay too.

Será que no es Floyd Rose sino Kahler? Si es floyd rose (o incluso trémolo normal) es tal cual como explico en este video. Kahler nunca he trabajado, no se si sea igual.

Omg You're really good! I've been playing acoustic guitar for 6 plus years. But I can't seem to learn to use a pick for the life of me. I've been considering learning electric guitar too. Do you think it's too late for me to learn to use a pick?

Hola amigo, una pregunta, la distorsión es algún plugin o amplificador ? Serías tan amable de pasarme la configuración que usaste? Gracias! y muy buen cover por cierto!

[@GeronimoEgea]

Todo es Amplitube 4. Honestamente no recuerdo que settings usé exactamente, pero para las partes distorsionadas usé la emulación del Mesa Dual Rectifier, en el canal rojo, con un Fulltone OCD delante (también la emulación del amplitube). Las partes limpias creo que usé un Twin Reverb (igual del amplitube).

[@seisette]

Hi great cover, how did you setup the Marshall?

[@GeronimoEgea]

Thanks! I'm not using the Marshall tho. It's all virtual amps (easy, fast and the neighbors won't call the cops haha). It's all Amplitube 3. Don't really remember what amp emulation I used for this one tho.

[@hernindio99]

How did you achieve that sound? What are you equipments / signal chain?

[@GeronimoEgea]

It's all Amplitube 4. For the distortion guitars I used their emulation of the Mesa Dual Rectifier with a Fulltone OCD in front (also the amplitube emulation). For the cleans I think I went with their Fender twin reverb or something like that.

Gracias pana! Saludos!

[@chrisking6695]

Americans think Venezuela is a "shithole' because if socialism. They think they're all poor, have no phones and nothing. That dude owns more guitars than a lot of capitalist Americans. Lol

[@GeronimoEgea]

Chris King well they would be kinda right (no pun intended haha). I mean, yeah, I do own a few guitars and some gear, nothing really expensive tho, but I was lucky to get what I have before it all went downhill. Right now I couldn't afford a new guitar. I've gotten sponsorship deals from brands abroad that consist on good discounts, and couldn't even afford to be endorsed by them. I'm still very lucky. There is way too much people unluckier than I am that struggle hard to eat something a couple times a day. I try to not get too involved in politics, and I think capitalism sucks as well, but what we have here is a humanitarian crisis and it's freaking awful.

[@chrisking6695]

@@GeronimoEgea The US caused the crisis in the first place. It might not be a paradise but neither is the US. We have lots of people here who can't afford food. So it's not so much about capitalism vs socialism. It's how the systems are applied and whether or not there's corruption. I get really annoyed when Americans tell me (I'm originally from Germany but I live in the US) that their way is the best way and everything that strays from that way is communism or socialism and therefore bad. And think about it, it's not socialism that's the problem it's the economic situation. You literally don't have resources. And who controls the resources? The US. Idk how you see it. I can only rely on my own research.

[@GeronimoEgea]

@@chrisking6695 yeah I agree that the US economic system sucks too. And that it's not capitalism vs socialism. In Venezuela's case it was the corruption. We do have a lot of resources -not owned by the US or any other country-. We're actually rich in natural resources, from the biggest oil reserves in the world to gold and all kinds of precious minerals, some of the best coffee and cocoa in the world, and the list goes on. But the money never really reaches the workers, the people, or it's intended social uses. Instead is filling the pockets of a lot of corrupt people in the government. I mean there's evidence of billions and billions of dollars that they have stolen, but they also own the (also corrupt) courts and are untouchable by the law, no matter the evidence. And it's not necessarily because socialism, but corruption and a dictatorship disguised as democracy. So yeah I honestly don't give a crap about socialism vs capitalism, but I do know that Venezuela is absolutely screwed up, maybe to the point of no return. Hopefully not.

Excelente video! Quería saber que acordes suenan en la parte que comienza en el minuto 5:52 Muchas Gracias!

[@GeronimoEgea]

Gracias! Te refieres a los nombres reales de los acordes? Siendo que es una afinación abierta seguro son nombres de acordes medio complicados jajaja, pero si es eso dime y reviso qué son exactamente

[@rusty345]

@@GeronimoEgea Así es, o poder saber que notas pisas porque no lo puedo entender bien, gracias!

[@GeronimoEgea]

@@rusty345 bueno la verdad no se muy bien cómo explicarlo por aquí, pero intentaré. El primer acorde es un Am, la 5ta cuerda al aire y la 4ta y 3era cuerda en el 7mo traste. Luego el siguiente es lo mismo pero agregando un G en la 6ta cuerda 5to traste (y muteando la 5ta cuerda). El siguiente bajas ese G a F# (6ta cuerda 4to traste, igual muteando la 5ta) y luego agregas con el dedo 2 un D# en la 5ta cuerda 6to traste. Luego cambias de posición y es como una especie de Csus2 (6ta cuerda 10, 4ta cuerda 10 y 3ra cuerda 9). Luego es otro voicing de Am, barra en el 7 6ta y 5ta cuerda, y meñique en el 10 de la 4ta. Y por último bajas esa barra un traste al 6 traste (también 6ta y 5ta cuerda) y el meñique se queda en el 10 de la 4ta (viene a ser un G# mayor). Espero que eso tenga sentido!
