([email protected]) This is pretty straightforward. For a Satch song, "Ceremony" is pretty easy. I know he uses a ton of effects on this song, but all you really need is a wah and overdrive. I tabbed it out the way I play it. I know some of the positions can be kind of awkward for some people, especially when you get to the solo. I don't know, I love long streches, and I know Joe does, too. Just make sure you warm up first. Key: ^=legato 9(11)=bend note to pitch in parentheses ~=vibrato ph=pinch harmonic t=tap w/ wah |-----------------------------|----------------------------| |-----------------------------|----------------------------| |-----------------------------|---------------------------*| |-6--------6--------6---6-----|-6--------6----------9--9--*| |-6^7^6----6^7^6----6^7-6^7---|-6^7^6----6^7^6------6--6---| |-------^9-------^9-----------|-------^9-------^9---7--7---| |-------------------------|-----------------------------| |-------------------------|-----------------------------| |-------------------------|----------------------------*| |-------------------------|----------------------------*| |---------7---------------|----------7------------------| |-7^9-9-9---9-9-9---7-9-9-|--7-9-9-9---9-9-9--9-7-7-7---| Fill: |--12-9--9---9--|--9-9(11)(9)-9-9--|--9-11---------| |----------13---|------------------|---------------| |---------------|------------------|---------------| |---------------|------------------|-------11~~~---| |---------------|------------------|---------------| |---------------|------------------|---------------| Now bass and rhythm guitar pedal C# for a while.

Then Joe does a little outro solo, it's basically just tremolo picking triads on the C#minor scale.
