"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): |----------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------------------------------------|
