    Fredrik is so good at widdly-woo playing. What a badass.
    One of my favorite things about modern Opeth is that when Fredrik and Mikael trade solos - their styles really come out and you can always tell who is playing which one. They are a great pair.

    • @Cheximus
      @Cheximus 5 лет назад +5

      I actually get very confused as to who plays which solo at the end of Burden. I know Mikael is good, but there are some passages that I'm sure are Fred's but then the next solo is equally as complex and I wonder if that one was actually Fred.

    This reaction is exactly why Fredrik is IMO one of the most interesting players of this generation. The guy has his Yngwie and Blackmore repertoire but mixes it up with really cool sounding fusion-y passages that don't disrupt the overall melodic direction of his solos.

  • @ZachWish
    @ZachWish 5 лет назад +20

    This rules so hard. Thanks so much for posting. Agree about Åkesson being hugely underrated. Might be in the minority amongst the metal fans but I love the direction Opeth has taken since Heritage. Been a fan since My Arms Your Hearse but I love that they're doing what they love. ⚡

    I’ve all the time in the world for Frederick. Not only is he a genuinely cool guy, but he’s an excellent and hugely underrated guitarist, which for me is really frustrating. Fred deserves much more credit than he gets. You rule Frederick!! Thanks for this Ola!🤘🏻😎💯

    • @Cheximus

    • @saltpeter7429
      @saltpeter7429 4 года назад

      It is to his credit that Opeth is an amazing band. Obviously singer being the architect, but that by no means takes away from the contributing musicians. I am grateful that a younger friend of mine pointed me in this direction to check them out, I was reluctant to want to listen to new things, and boy was I a proven fool. I am happy they are not strictly METAL in the stereotypical sense, you know by the numbers, chug, chug, chug. I like every period of their career that I have heard so far.
