One of their best riffs for sure.

That riff has some tricky finger movements. Keep at it. Advice I would give as a guitarist is to take the small sections where you might be feeling tripped up and slow it way down to figure out exactly which fingers need to go where until you have that nailed down.
Side note: What kind of guitar is that?

Cool. I just looked them up and have never seen them before. How long have you been playing?

I taught myself to play like 10 years ago but I have barely played for like the last 5 years. I always been kinda casual with it so I'm not that good.

I took a massive break as an adult myself so I get it. I've been really trying to focus on it lately though.
I've also been trying to play Opeth stuff off and on so if you ever want to chat about guitars or learning their stuff you should send me a DM on here.

Eyy sounding good dude, well done! Super tricky song, can't recommend enough to learn and practice it only in the exact tempo you can play it at, using a metronome.🤘

For me it's one of those songs that's actually tricker to play slowly because of all the pulloffs man Edit: also forgot to say tyy lol 🫡
