About Faith

Playing "Faith" in E minor at 98 BPM gives you a song that sits in a comfortable mid-tempo pocket, but don't let that fool you into rushing the preparation. Ghost build tension through carefully voiced chords and melodic lead lines that reward clean, deliberate fretting over any kind of aggression. The Alternative Rock side of the band's sound is very present here: the guitar parts lean on atmosphere and controlled dynamics rather than sheer distortion. In E Standard tuning, you won't need to retune, but pay close attention to how chord voicings are positioned to let open strings ring when they should and be muted when they shouldn't. The transitions between the verse and chorus can feel slippery at first because the rhythm shifts underneath you. Use the Practice Toolbar to loop those transition bars slowed down until your fretting hand stops hesitating at the change. Once the chord movement becomes automatic, the melodic phrasing on top will land much more naturally.

  • The song sits in E minor with E Standard tuning, so no retuning is needed, but clean chord voicings with selective open-string control are essential.
  • At 98 BPM the tempo is moderate, making it a good target for building dynamic control rather than pure speed on the fretboard.
  • The guitar work blends atmospheric chord progressions with melodic lead lines, so practising both rhythm and lead roles separately will help you piece the full part together.

How to Play Faith

Tuning: E Standard · Key: E minor · Tempo: 98 BPM

Use the section loop to isolate a passage, drop the speed below 100%, and set the metronome to 98 BPM to build it up to tempo.

Guitar

Gibson SG Standard

Ghost's Nameless Ghouls use the SG's sharp body and bright tonality for cutting through dense production with articulate rhythm work. The guitar's natural sustain helps their chunky riffs maintain clarity without modern metal muddiness.

The Eclipse provides Ghost with a versatile platform for both studio recordings and live performances, offering the tight response needed for their mid-focused crunch tones. Its sleek design and reliable electronics support their atmospheric lead passages seamlessly.

Amp

Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier

This amp delivers Ghost's signature mid-heavy crunch at moderate gain levels, staying clear and tight during palm muting without descending into saturated distortion. The Dual Rectifier's natural breakup at 5-6 gain is perfect for their contrast between clean and driven passages.

Ghost's ESP guitars benefit from the JB's aggressive high-end bite and punchy output, cutting through the mix during heavier sections. This combination bridges the gap between their clean arpeggios and crunchy, riff-driven moments with powerful definition.

The TS9 tightens Ghost's rhythm tone and pushes their amp into responsive crunch without adding unnecessary coloration. This classic overdrive pedal is essential for maintaining their clean-to-driven dynamic without sacrificing the clarity they demand.

The CE-2 creates the shimmery, dimensional quality throughout Ghost's atmospheric passages like Mary On A Cross and He Is. Its subtle modulation adds depth to clean arpeggios while respecting the band's minimalist effects philosophy.
