(BadHorsie9@yahoo.com) 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.

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