Playing Cathedral the Hard Way

Post by Atomic Punk » Wed Jun 22, 2016 10:35 pm

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to share a new way to play Cathedral. In this video I play the guitar part with one hand and the echo part with the other.



Best Regards,
Michael

Jaw, meet floor. You really should contact Van Halen's official website and give them a link to this. They post excellent VH covers pretty regularly on their website. ---> www.vhnd.com

Thank you to everyone who's watched my video so far.

I never guarantee the accuracy of my tuning. Having said that I will mention that I am playing a 50+ year old St. George guitar with no intonation adjustment. It will never play in tune in a song that spans the entire fretboard.

The point of this video is to play a song in a way never done before. I don't have a delay pedal. I challenged myself to figure out how play the song without one. While not close enough for government, it's close enough for private sector. It was fun.

That explains everything.
Because sounds in tune and out of tune in a random way

You got a 50's look, one strange amp and an ugly guitar but that was something new and a original !
