    Listen to my horror movie podcast Dead and Lovely on any podcast app!
    Hey guys! You all have been asking for some accurate Opeth guitar lessons here on Weekend Wankshop for a while now, so i figured with it being this time of year, its the perfect time to learn the ending clean section of Dirge For November from their legendary Blackwater Park album! Weekend Wankshop 207 is gonna learn you good!
    This is in standard tuning and played fingerstyle. Be sure to use a neck humbucker (like the Thornbucker i'm using in my Suhr Alt T), and dial in some gorgeous reverb/delay, preferably with some shimmery octave magic. Lucky for me, the Kemper Profiler does that stuff great!
    What other Opeth songs, riffs, or solos need lessons on future installments of Weekend Wankshop?! Let Uncle Ben know in the comments below!

    When I first heard this riff I was coming out of a really hard chapter in my life and when I heard that ending riff at the end of the song I just broke down in tears and got massive chills because of how beautifully it sort of summed up what I had been through for the last year..... the song to this day helps me heal from the scar tissue I’ve collected from really bad life experiences.

    Mr. Eller can't tell you how much I enjoy watching your videos here on RUclips. I have learned a lot of my favorite guitar tracks done correctly (yes I am the dude that has bought over a 100+ guitar tab books that are usually wrong) and you seem to always pick the tunes I am most interested in. It is like you are psychic! I was over joyed to see you are a Opeth ( and Megadeth) fan too and look forward to you digging into more tunes by them. Opeth give me hope there are still bands with good songwriting skills in today's music.

Don't really know how to "roll through" the A minor quickly, though, but that's the only part I'm struggling with and it just comes down to my lack of skill lol. Thank you so much for the great video!
