"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 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--------|

|--------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
|--------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--|

A weird lead comes along:
|--------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------|
|--4-h-5-p-4-h-5-p-4-h-5-......--------|
|--------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------|
And then the beautiful 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----------|
