Opeth - To Bid You Farewell (Guitar Cover with Play Along Tabs)

[@CameronWinters]

Nice to see you still making vids sans-Epiphone, nothing stops The Niessl 🤘

[@MaxNiessl]

Hell yeah! 🤘

[@Jamie16611]

this is the perfect song to start playing prog, it isnt too difficult and it still sounds really good

[@winter302]

the tone on this is perfect

[@MaxNiessl]

Thank you, means a lot! :)

[@nervosuu]

Such an underrated album. Thanks for this

[@MrBadimon]

One of those Opeth songs that just makes you want to sit by the fire on a cold winter day :D great work!

[@MaxNiessl]

Definitiv! Danke ☺️

[@bycftd]

Thanks Max! Just what I was looking for in my time of need.

[@MaxNiessl]

You're welcome! 🤘

[@The_Gnox]

Exactly!

[@steve_matin]

Holy crap this must've taken forever to transcribe. Big respect on this one!

[@MaxNiessl]

Thank you, Steve! 🤘

[@DanielPain96]

I have never listened to Opeth but I have been following you since last year. You made me take a look into Tool and this time - Opeth. Thank you Max, appreciate your work! :)

[@MaxNiessl]

Awesome, Dániel! Glad you like it 🤘

[@lukegray7892]

So awesome to see another Opeth cover. Surely a ghost of perdition cover soon, that's an absolute progressive masterpiece

[@MaxNiessl]

Thank you! Maybe :)

[@sahamal_savu]

I said to myself today, "I want to learn something on acoustic." And here it is haha! Thanks again man 👍

[@MaxNiessl]

Haha awesome, Michael! Have fun 🤘

[@DoTheDishesOrElse..]

This awesome and beautiful cover basically taught me this song, and I am infinitely grateful for that!

[@xdman20005]

Masterpiece of a song, thanks for putting this together

[@MaxNiessl]

You're welcome! :)

[@baluchon2505]

I was looking for a not too hard song to play acoustic with my friend. Thank you so much for this!

[@serjkhan]

1 minute to go, and really excited about it. surely it will be great. thanks and well done.

Beautiful cover. It deserves a million views. Well done 👍🤘

What a beautiful acoustic which sounds fantastic,, love opeth

[@OtavioLuizBaldissera]

Awesome man! You're the biggest inspiration for my own covers. Greetings from Brazil!

[@AlexPSage]

Awesome quality man!! Even though I'm not familiar with the song, let alone the band, it's still fun to see talent... PERIOD! Awesome video man, keep up the awesome work!! 😎🤘🏼

[@MaxNiessl]

Thank you, Alex! I can really recommend giving Opeth a listen. Their sound has evolved to be much softer with Heritage, if you're more into that :)

[@AlexPSage]

@@MaxNiessl I'm always open to new suggestions 😎🤘🏼 Awesome work man, keep it up! 👍🏼

[@alexanderschumann4293]

I'm a little late for this one, but goddamn it's amazing. Me and a friend are currently practising this, and it's just so beautiful. Thank you, man! :)

[@MaxNiessl]

Glad you both like it, have fun 🤘

Awesome!

[@nabilhamdi3478]

Beautiful cover! Great work on the arrangement too, mixing is on point! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@MaxNiessl]

Thank you, glad you like it! The arrangement should be correct to the original recording. I split the tracks left and right and analyzed who is playing which part from live performances :)

[@nabilhamdi3478]

@@MaxNiessl Yes! You definitely put in a lot of work to pull off such a great cover! beautiful stuff man!

[@sagyanjoshi8294]

I always come here to listen to this song.

[@aidanlow1955]

I didn't know who Opeth was before this, bloody good way to get introduced to a killer band! Chur

[@MaxNiessl]

Very welcome to do so! I can definitely recommend literally everything by them 🤘

[@Sawalhysmusicdiary]

This is exceptional almost 100% correct, I don't think Akerfeldt himself could've done a better job

[@zhabajapanese2486]

thanks a lot, now I can play this song and not fear that I will playing this one wrong. yeah, I just take my pick and sit down right now nice cover btw, such beautiful tone

[@MaxNiessl]

Thank you! Enjoy learning this, it’s such a beautiful tune. One of my Opeth favourites:)

[@yashdixit1349]

Duudee are you working on it !!????? :O @@MaxNiessl

[@DocMarbh]

Brilliant as always, Max. Tool and Opeth, two of my top bands! Your tone is so nice and clean, Love it! Would love to see you do Burden from Watershed, I reckon you'd be able to do that one handy enough!

[@MaxNiessl]

Thank you, Stephen! Glad you like it! I love Watershed, such a great album :)

[@DocMarbh]

It is a brilliant album. Burden always stuck out to me on that album with it's ballad like epic sound, and then the crazy detuning at the end. Always wanted to be able to play those really nice bluesy solos.

[@phyyl]

by far the best instructional piece of material for this song! can't thank you enough.

[@shaheryarashraf2189]

This is epic..man...thanks alot

You are incredible! Now i can finally play an Opeth song holy shit! Have you considered ghost of perdition or windowpane by Opeth?

Hello, I'm trying to play this song. In verse section 3:14, it seems like your hand position and the tab don't match. Is there a mistake? Great cover btw :)

[@MaxNiessl]

Hey Merve, thanks! If you mean the middle finger, it is not fretted. It’s just hanging there and a barre-chord is being played. The lead guitar only plays the chords without the added third. You can definitely resort to the tabs, I played it just like it is displayed on the tabs. Hope that helps 🤘🏼

Hi Max, sorry but I can't find any other way to contact you. I have a new Kemper Rack arriving this Weds and was wondering how you still like yours etc...? Any suggestions? Are you using any additional profiles with these video's or are they pretty much stock ones that come with the Kemper. I was also looking at the new Neural Quad Cortex but decided on the Kemper as the proven technology at this point. Are you still happy you own it? One other thing if you don't mind? How are you connecting your Kemper to your Focusrite interface? Thanks for your time Max!

[@MaxNiessl]

You can always write me a mail at [e-mail] if you want! That's awesome! Congrats on the purchase! I'm still very happy to own it, my best investment really. I've honestly deleted all the stock profiles (you can reload them with the Rig Manager at any point tho) and bought some of Michael Britt's profiles. The Diezel profile was free from the community store, though. It didn't sound very good at first, so you see that you can tweak the sounds a lot of with modifiers and stomps. I'm connecting the Kemper with XLR to the interface direct.
