PRS SE AKERFELDT VIDEO CLIP - Opeth's Blackwater Park

[firejack]

Made a clip of my Akerfeldt SE doing Blackwater Park.
One track recorded with my Zoom H4n.
Two tracks direct with V30 impulses panned left and right.
Acoustic guitar fills were done with a cheap Yamaha guitar.
And I programmed the drums using EZDrummer DKFH in Sonar 6.
Had trouble synchronizing all the tracks, so there's some wierd sound artifacts in some parts.

Enjoy.

Amp sounds great, that kit in EZ is huge!

Lots of work on your part to make the vid, looks very nice and the Peters sounds awesome!

Haha thanks casey.
Easily my favorite as well.
Not sure just how correct my method of playing this song is (as I figured it out by ear), but I'll show you how I'm playing it seeing as you are interested.

Off the top of my head, it was something like this:
---0---0---0-------
---0---3---0-------
---x---2---4-------
---6---0---2---1---
---4---x---0---0---
---2---3-------1---

Yup the DKFH kit has loads of things to hit.
And it shows you that animation of the kit pieces flashing when being played.
Perfect for a cameo in the vid.
Thanks for your kind words.

Very close to how I play it. Cool.

I noticed some subtle differences during the video, but nothing major. Was awesome

 

[Browns Fan]

Wow,that was great!Tone and playing 2 thumbs up!

 

[Motorpud]

Nice I think that Mikael Akerfeldt is one of the most underrated guitarists around. Has some very unique chord/note selection

 

[Beyond Black]

Great tone, playing and video.

This is completely true. Such a talented and interesting player. Learning Opeth songs has taught me a lot.

Yeah I think interesting is a good word to describe it. He has a knack for writing really eerie sounding riffs and clean passages. I like that style of writing. I'm more of a fan on the stuff where he actually sings though rather than the screaming, think Porcelain Heart
