Its your good buddy Uncle Ben Eller here with a lesson i've been wanting to do for a while: a full breakdown on the hauntingly beautiful and creepy chords of the mighty OPETH! I've been obsessed with this band and their amazing melodies since Blackwater Park. But what chord types and scales does Mikael Akerfeldt and crew use to make their spooky music? Today, we find out! In this lesson, we will use the song Closure off the band's 2003 release "Damnation" to better understand what makes their music work the way it does. I'll give you a riff-by-riff breakdown on this tune, plus we will cover all the theory and technique tips you need to master their style!
