Opeth - Face of Melinda (Cover)

Cover of Opeth's "Face of Melinda" off of Still Life (1999).

This song is important. This song was the first ever Opeth track that I heard. I've planned on covering it since before I even did my first cover, but sort of instinctively felt for the longest time that I wouldn't be able to execute it properly. For some reason, recently I felt it was finally time to tackle this one. To add to the difficulty, no guitar player of Opeth has played a few of the parts completely accurately to the original recording in any live performances. This includes even Mikael himself when he re-recorded the acoustics for the 5.1 mix of Still Life! I tried to be as accurate to the original as possible. In the end, I've probably still got a few things wrong. Hopefully I was still able to do justice to this amazing piece of music.
