Relationship Of Command

Transribed by Steve G(Splinter)

Dropped-D Tuning
Not really necessary for gu2(Omar)

Intro

Use a delay pedal to create a delayed effect when not fretting things properly.
E.g. Lay your first finger across the fret board at fret 11 or another high fret
but do not fret the strings mute them as if you were doing natural harmonics.
You can then then mess round with your guitar to create different sounds.

On my Boss-DD5 Delay pedal I set it as follows:
Level = So that the delay volumn is the same as you original volumn
Feedback = about middle to 3/4
D.Time = Middle
Option set to 3 which is 200ms-800ms.  This makes the D.Time at middle to be 
around 500ms.

Before you start, keep this in mind.  Form chords at the intro part so 
your fingers aren’t going all over the place.  Let the notes ring out 
for as long as possible.

Intro - Omar takes his pick and taps it above the neck pickup and does 
a lot of pick scrapes.  He also uses a porcelain slide to do “bird calls.”  
Use lots of delay.
               Harm.

Then the piano, played by the other guitarist, comes in with the B minor, 
G, D, and G chords.

Intro .20 seconds.  The second guitarist goes to his guitar and plays this.  
Omar plays the exact same thing except he slides the last notes down to nothing 
and adds pick     scrapes.  He uses a slide as well.  With chorus and delay.
