Rig Rundown - Opeth
Рет қаралды 134,230
4 жыл бұрынHolding down lead guitar duties in @opeth since 2007, Fredrik Åkesson knows his way around the fretboard. And before the band’s first @rymanauditorium performance, the self-admitted “gear dork” shows off the cavalcade of @prsguitars 6-strings he and singer/guitarist Mikael Åkerfeldt use onstage, explains the band’s move from tube heads to miniature modules designed by Dave Friedman and Steve Vai, and demos the core colors of his live tone.

He declined and we were a bit rushed to complete this as they had to do soundcheck for both Opeth and Graveyard (with setup) in less than 90 minutes. Crunch time!

If you know anything about soundchecks you would understand.They give you 30 min if you lucky and he also had to go trough Michaels rig as well so it’s”hurry up!”.You learn something new everyday so there you have it.

Sid R. Years ago when he was playing with Arch Enemy I met him after a show they played at a club. After the show he was at the bar hanging out with fans and drinking beers for a about a hour. Cool guy and when I told him I played guitar we started talking about our favorite guitar players, gear and vintage guitars that we’d like to own.

I highly recommend to everybody who´s not familiar with Fredrik´s career,to check out Talisman. That was the band founded by Marcel Jacob (former Yngwie Malmsteen bassist) and fronted by Jeff Scott Soto (also former Yngwie,Axel Rudi Pell, Sons of Apollo,WET and a shitload of other high profile acts).Marcel Jacob recruited him,when he was only 19 years old in that band. Specially their albums "Humanimal","Genesis" and "Life",that´s some awesome melodic hard-rock,with insane guitar/bass parts by Fredrik and Marcel Jacob.

And that's a confirmation why that "Lovelorn Crime" solo has a Pink Floyd vibe to it - one of my favorite tracks from "In Cauda Venenum" but IMO that whole record is a solid 10/10 - only Charlatan and Garroter let you "breathe" and are there more to give dynamic to the major songs around them, so - works for me

I like that Rick Beato reference. (Totally agree with a lighter gauge) Recognize hat test they did was based on standard tuning. If you have a really Low tuning you purposely want a heavier gauge string to compensate string tension otherwise your string will be flapping out of control. Lower tuning means lower frequencies so you want a heavier string to get the best sound and tightness from.
@graxjpg 4 жыл бұрын
I think that the fact that they’re looking for something better than standard convention, means that they would at least take basic convention into account. Especially considering they aren’t idiots
