Ok, Hedgers and Hedgehogs, I've got a question. For years I've been working on
my own deconstruction of Ritual Dance, one of my favorite pieces. It amazes me
how much goes on in that song in only 2:18 or so.
One part of the song has given me particular trouble. I'm hoping that there
may be a few others out there who've also tried to decode it, and can offer me
some guidance.
The piece in question is a small part of the end of the "verse" (for want of a
better term) portion. The "verse" is to me the main
figure which goes something like (forgive my lack of tab experieince; I've
probably condensed some time signatures and failed to indicate some repeated
notes):
2-55-7-0 - - ------2-55-7-0------------12-0-2-4-----
2-55-7-0 ---- - ---2-55-7-0------------12-0-2-4-----
2-55-7-0 - ---- ---2-55-7-0------------10-----2 ----
--------333--555-0----------333--555-0-10-----2 2222
--------333--555-0----------333--555-0--------------
--------333--555-0----------333--555-0--------------
>From here, one approach goes:
00-------2
00-------2
55-7-----2
33-5--00-0
00-55-33-0
00-55-00-0
Whereas another goes:
00-2--00-2
00-2--00-2
00-3--00-2
00-0--00-0
00-------0
00-------0
This may not be decipherable, but I'm curious what turn your deconstruction of
the piece takes at this point?
MH does this piece so quickly he seems like a blur at this juncture. He seems
to be doing something on the lower 3 strings around the 7th or 8th fret, but
the recording, it also sounds possible that he is doing different figures at
this juncture later in the piece.
I have a gig next Wednesday, and I'm toying with doing this piece, so any
timely advice would be much appreciated. Many thanks!

In this transcription I didn't bother marking the percussive
tapping of the top and sides of the guitar. Where it goes,
everyone knows.:-)
I've tried to pay particular attention to sections 'E'and 'J'
where some discrepancies in interpretation seem to exist.
There is also an inferred slide in section 'A' between the 5th fret
and open string notes stopping somewhere, anywhere, between the
8th and 12th fret.
The end at section 'M' has a simultaneous pick attack with the pull
off to produce the big glorious noise.
Note regarding section 'J': the barred "pull-off" starts at the
heaviest string and works its way down successively. Each note is
played quickly making a BARRUMPF sound. The same applies in sections
'E' and 'M'.

Ok, Hedgers and Hedgehogs, I've got a question. For years I've been working on
my own deconstruction of Ritual Dance, one of my favorite pieces. It amazes me
how much goes on in that song in only 2:18 or so.
One part of the song has given me particular trouble. I'm hoping that there
may be a few others out there who've also tried to decode it, and can offer me
some guidance.
The piece in question is a small part of the end of the "verse" (for want of a
better term) portion. The "verse" is to me the main
figure which goes something like (forgive my lack of tab experieince; I've
probably condensed some time signatures and failed to indicate some repeated
notes):
2-55-7-0 - - ------2-55-7-0------------12-0-2-4-----
2-55-7-0 ---- - ---2-55-7-0------------12-0-2-4-----
2-55-7-0 - ---- ---2-55-7-0------------10-----2 ----
--------333--555-0----------333--555-0-10-----2 2222
--------333--555-0----------333--555-0--------------
--------333--555-0----------333--555-0--------------
>From here, one approach goes:
00-------2
00-------2
55-7-----2
33-5--00-0
00-55-33-0
00-55-00-0
Whereas another goes:
00-2--00-2
00-2--00-2
00-3--00-2
00-0--00-0
00-------0
00-------0
This may not be decipherable, but I'm curious what turn your deconstruction of
the piece takes at this point?
MH does this piece so quickly he seems like a blur at this juncture. He seems
to be doing something on the lower 3 strings around the 7th or 8th fret, but
the recording, it also sounds possible that he is doing different figures at
this juncture later in the piece.
I have a gig next Wednesday, and I'm toying with doing this piece, so any
timely advice would be much appreciated. Many thanks!

In this transcription I didn't bother marking the percussive
tapping of the top and sides of the guitar. Where it goes,
everyone knows.:-)
I've tried to pay particular attention to sections 'E'and 'J'
where some discrepancies in interpretation seem to exist.
There is also an inferred slide in section 'A' between the 5th fret
and open string notes stopping somewhere, anywhere, between the
8th and 12th fret.
The end at section 'M' has a simultaneous pick attack with the pull
off to produce the big glorious noise.
Note regarding section 'J': the barred "pull-off" starts at the
heaviest string and works its way down successively. Each note is
played quickly making a BARRUMPF sound. The same applies in sections
'E' and 'M'.
