Song
"Ride" by CATHEDRAL (From Ethereal mirror)
Tune your guitar 2.5 steps lower: B E A D F# B.
Ethereal is played entirely using B tuned guitars - maybe that's what
makes it one of the heaviest album in the world.
The verse (shuffle style):
|----------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------/\/\/-slide--------------------/\/\/-slide--------|
|-0-00-00-00-00-00-05------------0-00-00-00-00-00-07-------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------| |--------------------/\/\/-slide----------------2--0-------------------| |-0-00-00-00-00-00-05------------0-00-00-00-00--------0----------------|
This riff is repeated, with different endings (pointless to rewrite the
same riff over and over):
|------------------------| |------------------------| |------------------------| |-4--3-----2-------------| |-2--1-----0-------------| |------------------------| |------------------------| |------------------------| |---------h-p-h-p-h------| |-4------2-4-2-4-2-4-----| |--------------------2---| |------------------------|
Chorus (If it can be called a chorus):
|----------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------| |--h-------------------------------------------| |-2-4-4-4-2---------2-----------2--------------| |-----------4-3-----------3---------2---1------|
Then a third guitar comes along, playing pretty much the same riff, only
an octave higher:
|----------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------| |-4-6-6-6-4---------4-----------4--------------| |--h--------6-5-----------5---------7---67676..| |---------------------------------------/|\----| |----------------------------------------|-----|
|
Hammer on and pull off constantly
The following riff:
|----------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------7----/\/\/-----------------------------| |-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-----9-7---8---------9----------------------------------| |-2-2-2-2-2-2-2---------9-----9----------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------/-bend gently---------------------|
|-------------------------7-----7---9----------------------------------| |-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-----9-7-------9----------------------------------------| |-2-2-2-2-2-2-2---------9----------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------|
The slower part:
|--------------------------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------------------------| |--------h-p-----------------------h-p----6-----4--------| |-4---7-4-7-2---4-2---4-----4---7-4-7-2---4-----2--------| |-------------------4------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------| |--------h-p-----p--------------3---3-----2------| |-2---5-2-5-0---2-0---2---------1---1-----0------| |-------------------2----------------------------| |------------------------------------------------|
The second riff ends differently the second time:
|---------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------| |--------h-p-----p--------------4---3---2------2---3---4--| |-2---5-2-5-0---2-0---2---------4---3---2------2---3---4--| |-------------------2-----------2---1---0------0---1---2--| |---------------------------------------------------------|
Interlude Riff (palm mute):
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| |-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-| |-----------------------------| |-----------------------------| |-----------------------------| |-----------------2-----------| |-----------------2-----------| |-3-3-3-3-3-3-3---0-----------|
A weird lead comes along:
|--------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------| |--4-h-5-p-4-h-5-p-4-h-5-......--------| |--------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------|
And then the beautifull lead (which is backed by C#, B, A and D chords):
|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
|--h-------------------s-------------s-----------------------slide-----|
|-4-6---6---4-464-2-4-2-1-1-----1-2-4-6---6-------7-6-7-9--11----------| |-------------/|\-------------2----------------------------------------| |--------------|-------------------------------------------------------| |--------------|-------------------------------------------------------|
|
Hammer and pull off, as usual
|----------------------------------------------------------------------| |--h-------------------s-------------s---------------------------------| |-4-6---6---4-464-2-4-2-1-1-----1-2-4-6---6-------7-6-7-9--11----------| |-----------------------------2----------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------12-14---12------------------9---7------| |-10-----------12-14---12-------------------------10----9h10--------5--| |---------------------------------------------9------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------12-14---12--------14--14--14--14--14---| |-10-----------12-14---12--------------------14---15/-15/-15/-15/-15/--| |----------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------|
The comes the verse and the chorus and the song finishes:
|----------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------| |-4-slide down---------------------------------------------------------| |-4-slide down---------------------------------------------------------| |-2-slide down---------------------------------------------------------|
