The<br/> piece is played entirely using the left hand to hammer notes, with the right<br/> hand controlling the volume knob to make the notes fade in, giving them<br/> a cello-like sound. Essential to the piece is the use of a digital-delay unit.<br/> <br/> Technique and Timing:<br/> ---------------------<br/> <br/> Right-hand - turn the volume up after the left-hand has hammered the note,<br/> so there is no 'attack', and the note just 'swells' in volume. IT takes<br/> a fair amount of practice to get it right.<br/> <br/> Left-hand - apart from the chords at the beginning, which can be strummed<br/> with the RH before fading them in, every note in this piece is hammered-on.<br/> <br/> Delay unit - try around .42 - .44 seconds. Hopefully the following will <br/> explain how get your timing right with the delay...<br/> <br/> If you play the following notes - G B D B G <br/> Have the delay repeat the notes like - G B D B G <br/> So the net result would be: G B G D B B D G B G<br/> timing -----> | | | | | | | | | | | |<br/> <br/> <br/> Actually, if you play the above with a fairly fast delay, you get a cool<br/> Albert Lee countryish-lick :-)<br/> <br/> BTW, it helps to tie a sock just over the nut, to help prevent un-wanted<br/> string-buzz :-)<br/> <br/> Please excuse any mistakes - I no longer have my ME-5, which means no delay :-(<br/> <br/> <br/> CATHEDRAL - Edward Van Halen<br/> ----------------------------<br/> <br/> C F Em C B<br/> [ Part 1<br/> E -0--1--0--0------0--3--0--0-----------------------------------------------<br/> B -1--1--0--1------1--1--0--1---------4---------8----------12------------16-<br/> G -0--2--0--0--4---0--2--0--0--4-----4-4-------8-8--------12-12---------16--<br/> D -2--3--2--2--4---2--3--2--2--4----4---4-----8---8------12---12-------16---<br/> A -3-----2--3--2---3-----2--3--2---2-----2-4-6-----6-8-10-------10-12-14----<br/> E --------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> ] || <br/> E ----------------------------------------------------------------------<br/> B ------------12-------7------10-------5--------------------------------<br/> G 16---------12-12----7-7----10-10----5-5----7--4-----------------------<br/> D -16-------12---12--7---7--10---10--5---5--------5-3-5-3---------------<br/> A --14-12-10--------5------8--------3-----3---------------5-3-2---------<br/> E ----------------------------------------------------------------------<br/> <br/> Then, repeat Part 1 (the section within the []s) followed by...<br/> <br/> <br/> E -----------------------------------------------------------------------<br/> B ----17-------19-------21--21--21--21-----------------------------------<br/> G ---17-17----19-19----21--21--21--21------------------------------------<br/> D --17---17--19---19--21--21--21--21-------------------------------------<br/> A -15------17-------19---------------19-21-17-19-15-17-14-15-12-14-10-12-<br/> E -----------------------------------------------------------------------<br/> <br/> [ Part 2 (repeat a few x) ]<br/> E ---------------------+-----------------------------+----------------------<br/> B ---------------------|-----------------------------|----------------------<br/> G ---------------------|-------------7---------------|----------------------<br/> D ---------------------|---------------7-5-4---------|----------------------<br/> A 9-10-7-9-5-7-3-5-2-3-|-------5-7-5---------5-7-5-7-|-5-7-5-7-5-7-5-7-7~~--<br/> E ---------------------+-3-2-3-----------------------+----------------------<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> -- <br/> evh5150@camelot.bradley.edu <br/> <br/> What is understood need not be discussed. - Loren Adams<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> </div> </div> <div class="breadcrumbs">
