Ghost- Howie Day
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Jeff Fletcher

Tuning: Standard
This Tab is for setting up the loop with the Line 6 DL4 Modular pedal, I can’t really
you the part where he hits his guitar to make the percussion part but ill show you
else including the E-Bow part. Ive never done this before so bare with me. And I found
the easiest thing to do once you have the chords is go to youtube and find one of his live
of Ghost and get the timing down like that. If you have the Line 6 DL4 Pedal you wanna
the delay in between 2 and 3 o’clock, and the Repeat setting at about 10 or 11 o’clock.
This part is right after you make the percussion loop with your guitar.

This is the E-bow part, this part is played right about 7 seconds after you play the
note in the part before. When playing this part make sure you keep your finger pressed
on the B string and just slide it to each note.

Ok Now for the Chords, The first chord is played right when the E-bow starts on the
im not to sure what the chords are called I just play them, but ill show you exactly how to
them.

and get the timing.

Ok now that you have the chords down, in the live performance of ghost he usually does
outro of beams of light, this picking part is for the end of the song. The number above
note is how many times you play that note. Im 99% sure that’s how many times you pluck
Once you have that loop set just start the verse chords again and your set.
8x 1x 4x 1x 6x 1x 5x 6x 1x 4x 1x 6x 1x 1x
