Early track guitar tabs

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

So far Ive been unable to find tabs on guitar for songs like anaconda, Dance on glass, Lights, body electric or watch. Anyone have a site I could find these at?

Sit down with a guitar and work it out! :lol:

None of them are particularly difficult. Mind you, most of the tab I've found online always seems to be written by retards.

Ok, quick lesson:

Body Electric:

Main guitar line - d,d,d,d,d,d,d,d d,d,d,d,d,d,e,f a,a,a (octave),a,a,a (octave),a,a (octave)

Lights:

b,b,e,b,e,b,e,a,a,e,a,e,a,e,c,c,e,c,e,c,e,b,b,e,b,e,b,a repeat There are variations, but if you listen you'll work it out.

Anaconda has 3 guitar parts.

The Bass Line
The guitar part that echoes the bass line
The lead guitar line

It's in the key of B.

Just remember there are very few chords in the early Sisters stuff, it's all notes. If you get some of the Anaconda demos, it makes it much easier to hear the guitar lines.

I never got round to working out On The Wire as it isn't a favourite of mine (not to say that it isn't a good song).

you are welcome !

I've been A guitar player for a long time now, but for the last 4 years I have not done anything about it.

The tabs of the sisters are close to the original, some are easy to play, some are hard to play, but it's funn to figer it out !
I was quite impressed until I hit the floor,.....Isn’t that what friends are for ?

i play the occasional bass (like a normal bass but not as often)
i like the challenge of just sitting there with it all turned up loud and when you get it right ................well what can you say(bring on the smoke machine put on the strobe....)
cant read music and still get confused about "keys"
i am more likely to release an album before the sisters
