  • Guitar cover of "To Bid You Farewell" by Opeth with on-screen tabs - learned by ear and live performances.
    Hope you enjoy the video! Please post your suggestions! :)
    Ok, so THIS is my favourite Opeth song. Because this one defines this whole genre. I had to cover this appropriately, so I gathered all the resources I could find (which are not many). The tabs that I've seen are not excellent, so I didn't even bother learning from them.
    Big thanks to my friend Simon Strasser who lent me his acoustic guitar! He is doing amazing graphic design and animation. Check out his artstation right here: www.artstation.com/simonstrasser

    Mind the switch at 7:07. From the main source I could see that Mikael and Peter are switching the left and right tracks. I aligned the tracks correctly in the audio, but the video positions are unaffected.
    Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

    Hi Max, sorry but I can't find any other way to contact you. I have a new Kemper Rack arriving this Weds and was wondering how you still like yours etc...? Any suggestions? Are you using any additional profiles with these video's or are they pretty much stock ones that come with the Kemper. I was also looking at the new Neural Quad Cortex but decided on the Kemper as the proven technology at this point. Are you still happy you own it? One other thing if you don't mind? How are you connecting your Kemper to your Focusrite interface? Thanks for your time Max!

      You can always write me a mail at contact@maxniessl.com if you want! That's awesome! Congrats on the purchase! I'm still very happy to own it, my best investment really. I've honestly deleted all the stock profiles (you can reload them with the Rig Manager at any point tho) and bought some of Michael Britt's profiles. The Diezel profile was free from the community store, though. It didn't sound very good at first, so you see that you can tweak the sounds a lot of with modifiers and stomps. I'm connecting the Kemper with XLR to the interface direct.
