Cathedral


This is my "cathedral tab" from Van Halens Diver Down album. This song is very unique because it is all hammer ons and pulls. The key to this song is is to have chorus and delay on and continuously turn the volume nob on and off after you hit each single note. The delay speed should be enough so that when you turn the nob on then off after you hammer on a note you should hear the note twice when it fades in then out. I didn't include the hammer ons and pull offs in the tab becasue its pretty straight forward and I'm explaining it to you now.
