This has been taken from http://www.cultcentral.com/guitar/SoldierBlue.txt I did not tab this and thank you to Pedro Sousa for tabbing this kik ass song out! the cult - sonic temple 1989 transcribed by pedro sousa ([email protected]) here's another great song from the also great sonic temple, in my opinion it's pretty I have doubts about the pre-chorus though. send me any corrections! / - slide ~ - vibratto . - stacatto h - hammer on p - pull off (5) - grace note (slides) º - artificial harmonic b - b brp - bend release pull off ? - when I can't make out the lyrics intro: x4 with some whammy bar effects (try the harmonic at 7th fret second string)
