Additions, corrections welcome!
Tabbing this would have been a lot easier if I'd had my friends' video
with a zoom and slow motion!


SHE SELLS SANCTUARY
===================
The Cult


Tune your guitar up a semitone (seems a common feature of goth songs!)
I can't get their tone on my setup, but it helps to use the front two pickups
and turn the treble right down on the amp.

I have a suspicion the song is based on some species of sliding Em scale,
which means there could be better ways of fingering a lot of the notes
or putting in slides in different places. You'll just have to work out what
sounds good/is easy to play yourself! For the time being I'll put brackets
round notes when I'm not sure where they're played, or if they're not always
played every time, or if I can't tell which is played!

INTRO

The least accurate part of the tab first... played with phasing and repeat
pedals so you can't work it out...

B-------12-12-----14--15---
G-------------14--14------

On the beats marked with an asterisk someone strums an F chord on an accoustic
with lovely new strings!
Towards the end of the song the riff is played again with the alternative
ending.

Verse 1 (touch the sun etc)
Sounds like someone's playing a palm-muted F power chord in the verses and
strumming different strings, kind of like

e 6 6
B 6 6
G 5 5 5 5 5 5
D 3 3 3 3

RIFF B played twice

verse 2 (the succour in your eyes keeps me alive)
The world drags me down

Riff A played twice

verse 3 (touch the sun...)
Riff B x 2

The fire in your eyes keepsme alive
And somehow(Where?) you'll find Sanctuary...
And the world drags me down

Intro played again!

'Sanctuary' sung, another riff played in background

e--12-----------three times, then--12--------------------------------------
B-----15-14-12-----------------------15-14-(last note held a bit)----------

and the world....
1st half of intro played
Riff A with the alternative ending
1st half of intro played again at very end!

Guitar lessons done right!

Because the DVDs are not flashy riff collections
but real tools for progress:

Guitar lesson - Amazing Guitar 2.0
You will learn the most efficient practice routine that works fast.

Learn Guitar - Ultimate Guitar will show
you how to organize the fretboard and find any chord or scale.

Blues Guitar DVD Ultimate Blues Primer
Will show you how to Jam with your friends!

We have received tons of thankyous
for these recommendations like this:


Hi Greg,

I've just finished the Amazing 7 day guitar course.
I have really enjoyed seeing my playing improve
in just 7 days. I love the exercises that incorporate
learning the scales as that has always been a
real challenge for me.

I have felt stuck in my playing for a while now but
after completing your course I am more
confident, and more flexible!

the style of teaching is very simple yet extremely
effective way of teaching,
and I'm enjoying all the extras I received.
