Ride Tab

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