"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--------|
|-------------------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-|

|-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 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----------|
|-------------/|\-------------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----------|

|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------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---------------------------------------------------------|
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official CATHEDRAL tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
