Opeth - Reverie / Harlequin Forest cover

[@SadekHani]

The actual tuning for this song is DADFAE which would make it much easier for you to play to, giving you a much clearer arpeggios in the clean part. Cheers.

[@soullessSiIence]

But it's annoying to tune your guitar like that if you only have one guitar. What I do is that I play this, the Baying of the hounds and Ghost of Perdition whenever I tune the guitar to this just to make use of the tuning.

That was very simple to learn in Drop D, I caught on fairly quick, played thru to the end... Now, practice, practice, practice...! Thanks for you for your effort...!

Are you Mo or Mary? I never understand the mechanics of shared spousal accounts. My brother does it with his wife, but like if I forgot to logout, and my wife found my adult history I'd be dreadfully embarrassed. Either that or she'd crawl into bed with me one night, dressed as ronald mcdonald and introduce me to the joys of "pegging". I'm not sure which is worse.

@@skobywankenobi I'm Mo, or Maurice...! Now I play Harlequin Forest everyday standing up, The middle part I still need a bit of work memorization wise, but I never felt better about playing the rest...! I owe you, soon I will have the entire song... I love OPETH, Mary and I saw Sorcerers in Chicago with my Aunt, and I'm 50...!

[@skobywankenobi]

@@chaospheremediagroup9673 good to meet you Mo. Glad you're making progress.

[@midomidomid]

Love this! Clean and audible :) it must be hard to play whole song in one take (without any angle changing tricks and cuts)

[@naviwing]

this song masterpiece

[@HometownAnomaly]

So genuine, I love your energy : )

Loved it, I'm actually learning while enjoying it.

[@Despo1992]

Absolutely amazing

[@alexanderschildknecht2090]

4:40 for reference

[@ozzyogkush]

Nice work. I play a couple of the riffs a little differently (chorus, clean interlude part) but otherwise nicely done.

[@nicolasrios6432]

amazing!

thats amazing , i wish i can get on that level :(

[@ivanescudero8441]

you will.

[@k98killer]

Whoa. Epic.

[@michaelsnyder1492]

I like how you arranged this for Drop D i hate alternate tunings.

[@konstantinoskipro1015]

I really enjoyed the cover, great job. I just have a question , why does it feel like at 5:59 you're a whole tone down from what is actually played in the song ? I would love an explanation , I could also be wrong.

[@antonmilko]

there is a 2-guitars harmony line, I just took this part, but you can play the higher one if you like

[@konstantinoskipro1015]

@@antonmilko Thanks for letting me know bro :D Great job anyways love it.

[@McFlurry448]

Opeth are like a classical piece. Everyone plays seperate parts. You hear it a lot throught the Blackwater record. If you have a good enough ear you can actually distinguish the two guitars and learn by ear.

[@LukeZuniga]

Really nice sound, man. What were the noticeable differences between playing in drop D and DADFAE?

[@antonmilko]

Thanks, playing in drop D is quite tricky on clean parts, especially open chords (some weird stuff like on 4:39), I used this tuning because most of opeth songs are in original E and when playing live it's quicker to tune just 1 string

[@DailyMotionBetter]

Clean

[@brunoportella5050]

Still sick, Bro!

[@El-vw7pt]

Masterful 🔥🔥🔥😔

[@sabero5668]

Question, I learned to play this song from this video years ago but never could figure out how you played the melody at 1:18 and 2:16(its faint at 2:16 but still audible, its loud and clear at 1:18). You very clearly don't fret any other notes and your right hand appears to just be strumming the full chord, how do you get the melody to ring clearly though that? Is this double tracked and the track with the melody just not the same take that's on video (and if so do you remember how it was played) or am I missing something, because I would love to be able to reproduce that.

[@antonmilko]

No it's not double tracked, try to strum open 1th string, I think there is that note ringing.

[@sabero5668]

@@antonmilko I played around with the strumming pattern and I think I figured it out, it sounds like its a combination of an upstroke on the 2nd string by itself, followed by one of the other two strings being louder than the other depending on if its and up or down stroke, I haven't got it down yet but I can hear it now and the way you play it adds so much character to a beautiful riff that kind of gets buried on the record

[@f4lc0n15]

This is just a cover of Harlequin Forest, like where's Reverie

[@stefanburlacu8803]

I think the first like 2 minutes and a half are reverie, and the rest is harlequin forest

[@f4lc0n15]

Stefan Burlacu No, Reverie is actually the last minute or so of Atonement but it was mislabeled on the record

[@weirddreams_fe]

@@f4lc0n15 yep, it like a ghost track.

[@D4n13L76]

very nice

[@thrash2groove]

Where the phaser bro! Amazing cover

[@Saurion1]

Hey mate, what distortion are you using? Sounds awesome.

[@fractalbeard]

I love it 🤘

[@pantera6131]

Did you get a tab for this? Or by ear? Nice playing:)

[@antonmilko]

By ear mostly)

[@michaelsnyder1492]

Nice guitar and great tone I can never figure out the EQ settings for Opeth do you remember it

[@eulalawrence1860]

Nice cover. Where did you get the tabs? Or did you learn it by ear?

[@antonmilko]

Thanks, by ear mostly. But watching Opeth live perfomances also helps a lot)

[@eulalawrence1860]

That takes some skill and obviously you got that skill. Keep it up man

[@cirocod]

Whats the guitar tunning¿ great job¡

[@antonmilko]

drop D

[@bradleyrayson2955]

Dadfae is the correct tuning.

[@eddieademi]

DADFAE is only for The Grand Conjuration. Edit: I think you’re right, it’s that tuning for this song too.

[@Metalfreak327]

Hey what pickups are you rocking on your studio ?

way too loud

Hesusfkr it's a playthrough, it is supposed to be loud as to accentuate the guitar.
