That's the Halo theme song.
Per request of one of my subscribers, dude I'm sorry I forgot your name.
[G#] If you wanted me to [Em] mention your name on the channel just send me it again dude.
I couldn't find it.
I know you requested this and I was like great idea.
I still remember saying that to you.
Sorry.
Make another request.
I'll make sure to get [G] a shout out to you.
Good request man.
What I noticed, the [E] very beginning there's this cool little lead thing.
Like it'll start [F] with [C] _ _
_ _ [Em] a_
Then he uses after that what sounds like an Ebo.
E-B-O-W.
And there's this little thing.
It looks like a slide.
But you run over the strings and it just creates this really crazy cool sound.
So this is the main rhythm to it which is what I was assuming you wanted.
And it's [F] pretty simple.
It just sounds cool.
Sounds like something Black Sabbath would do [G] to me or something.
It's standard tuning.
You go three palm mutes on the low [E] E.
_ Oh wait [Em] I didn't show you the_
I [G] could show you the dive bomb. _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ [F#m] Kind of tricky.
It's gotta [G] be right about there.
Not right above the third fret but slightly behind it.
_ And have your volume up obviously.
Push the whammy [D] bar down first.
_ [G] You gotta pick as that [D#] finger's right there.
You're gonna catch a natural harmonic, not a pinch [E] harmonic. _ _
[G#] Slowly bring the bar up and then slowly bring it [D#] back down for a big whammy.
And then that leads into [E] the three palm muted Es.
_ By the way I'm using delay obviously on there which is the echo you hear.
And my _ [G] channel two distortion on my Mesa boogie. _ _ _
[E] So one, two, three, palm mutes on that and then power chord.
This is E5.
Fret [Em] seven on the A.
Fret nine on the D.
This is what they use in heavy metal and rock a lot.
Hit the A and D [E] together.
Hit _ a ring and then do an upstroke on those two again.
[Em] _ And go right back into three palm muted Es.
Move that power chord a whole step sharp up to nine and eleven on the A and D.
Hit [F#] those two.
_ Hit that ring.
Hit an upstroke on the A and D.
_ And go back to three more palm muted [E] Es and then go a
half step [C#m] sharp which will put you on 10 A, 12 D.
So we're doing [A] an E5 power chord, an
F sharp five power chord and a [Em] G5.
We [G] have a 10 fret A, 12 fret D.
_ Hit that ring.
Hit it again with an upstroke on the A and D.
Three [Em] more palm muted Es.
_ Hold on, my eye [D] itches. _ _
[A] Move it a whole step sharp to 12 and 14.
That's an A5 [D] power chord.
_ [A] _ _ _ [F#m] And then this is a quick [F#] change.
If you're not used to moving your power chords quick, [Em] this is going to be a good thing to
work on for that because people do have trouble with it like in Iron Man where he's sliding
the power chords back and forth. _
_ It's basically the last three chords you played descending, no palm muting.
It's [F#m] just_
And you want to alternate pick that, [G] down up down. _ _
[F#] Or up [A] down up either way. _ _ _ _
I would go down up down.
It'll [G] be a little more powerful.
12 A 14 D, 10 A 12 D, 9 A 11 D.
And just go down [Am] up down.
_ [F#] Then start it back over [A] without the whammy bar thing.
[E] Just three open Es.
Lock it in.
So that's the Halo theme song.
I'll probably do more of it down the road.
It'll be kind of cool when I get into the solos [G]
to maybe do this whole song.
The lead part of it.
So I hope that works for you.
