Cathedral Ramblez

Welp after dinking around with things of Cathedral I've got the intro chords & the note patterns down & can pick the notes with the MIDI file at the default speed that is in the .mid file at 114 beats per minute. I even tried to play along with Eddie from one of the live solo video clips. It's darn hard to start when he does because of the volume swells & the dig. delay note that comes about .4 seconds later. It's the game of find the note. But I did find I was able to keep up if I started at the right millisecond with Ed. In terms of notes & chords it's a darned simple song & the mystery & complexity of it is buried in the harmonies produced by the delayed note. Picking the notes is one thing. Now must actually get out an amp, blow the dust off of it, get out an electric & blow the dust off of it, & get it in tune, & then find a proper delay setting for way slow. First I'll practice picking then I'll practice the volume swells & hammering the notes rather than picking them. I like the song & it's fun to play. And then maybe I'll venture unto changing the strings so I can actually have a nicer sound. Where's my guitar tech? Sheez.

Until later comes I'll be in my corner cloning others & hopefully you can turn it up to 11 because where we live I wouldn't be able to without neighbors shoutin' shaddup already
