This is a very nice instrumental song by the gothic-metal
band Opeth; it is played by a beautiful acoustic guitar and piano.
Quite easy to play, but not so easy to make it sound like
the original (IMHO): lots of slidings and strings that
are let ringing, etc. Listen very close to how each note
is played: it also gives you clues about the correct hand positions.
The notation youll need is:
/ - slide up to ...
\ - slide down to...
h - hammer on
p - pull off
Standard tuning: E B G D A E.
I suggest playing it finger-picking: most of the song can also
be played with a pick (better sound clarity, if youre a
bad player like me), except for the section C-2, which is the
hardest to play (and to tab!!)
The structure of the song is:
section A 4 times
" B 1 time
" A 4 times (enter piano)
" B 1 time
" A 4 times
" C-1 1 time
" C-2 1 time
" A 8 times
" D 1 time

Section A :
|----------0---------0--------------|
|--------0---0---------0------------|
|------2-------2-2/5-----5----------|
|----2------------------------------|
|--0-----------------------3p2-0----|
|--------------------------------3--|
Section B :
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------0-----------------------------3--------------------------|
|--------2---2---------4p3-----3-------3---3--------------4h5-4-----|
|------3-------3-------------4-------7-------7--------5-6-------5---|
|----3-----------3---4-----4-------5-----------5----6---------------|
|--1---------------2-------------3----------------4-----------------|
(eek,a 9th chord!)
Sections C-1 and C-2 differ by the ending: both start like this...
|----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------2----|
|-------0-------0-----0-----2---2--|
|-----0---0---0-----0-----0--------|
|-3/6-------5-----3-----0----------|
|----------------------------------|
...but C-1 ends like this...
|---------0------------|
|-------4---4----------|
|-----4-------4--------|
|---4-----------4------|
|-2---------------2----|
|----------------------|
...and C-2 ends with something like this
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-----5------3-------2-----1-0--------------------------------------|
|---0-0----0-0-0-----0---0-0-0--------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-0-0-0--0---0---0-0-0-0---0-0--------------------------------------|
Note: no way I could figure out the exact rhythm of this part,
the picking is fast and light, sort of flamenco-style.
Try and play a few different patterns with the 3rd and the
6th string between the main chords (which should be correct anyway),
and see which one sounds the nearest to the original.
Section D:
|-----|

|--0--| (let ring)

Thats it. Enjoy!
