Because I finished "She Sells Sanctuary" by... THE CULT!!
But seriously, folks, that shit is much scarier than aliens and Tom Cruise's insanity.
And the funny thing is, the internet is kicking their ass.
On to matters that won't get me sued,
SHE SELLS SANCTUARY
What I find amazing about this song is that it utilizes only the middle two strings, save for one note, and even that you can always hit on a lower string.
The original recording used a flanger pedal to give the song an Eastern, mysterious vibe to the intro. I can't really explain it, but it's like delay and phase-shifting combined. A lot of popular songs have used it, like "Barracuda" and "Spirit Of The Radio".
The riff in question:
G---14---12---11---(7)---5h7-5h7-5--7---2-
D-0----0----0----0-----0-----------0--0---
B---------------------------------------------------15
G---14---12---16---14---12h14-12h14-12---14------
D-0----0----0----0----0------------------0----0----
You can also use the 19th fret on the G string in lieu of that last note.
The main problem with this isn't that it's hard to play, it's that it requires your fingers to move quite a distance quickly.
