In this She Sells Sanctuary guitar lesson video, I will show you note-for-note how to play all of guitarist Billy Duffy's extremely melodic guitar parts to this much loved classic by The Cult.
We will be using standard tuning just like the original recording.
Billy Duffy's effects laden intro to "She Sells Sanctuary" is a good pre-curser to the melodic riffing found through the rest of the song. This intro appears multiple times in the song as well.
When the band kicks in we continue with very melodic riffing consisting of melody notes played on the G string with the open D string underneath.
There is also an overdub of a G chord at the end of the riff. How Billy Duffy plays the song live is to not play that G chord until later in the song in order to let the dynamics build.
The main difficulty will probably be the fact that many of the riffs are very similar since they use the same style of playing. Your best bet is to listen to the song enough times so that you will be able to simply hum those melodies coming from the guitar. That will make it much easier to play along with the original recording and follow along with this lesson as well.
Hope you guys enjoy this one! It is a lot of fun to play! #shesellssanctuaryguitarlesson #thecult #guitarcovers

Imho one of the best songs I've ever heard.

[@LimJahey996]

Your humble opinion matters to me and I would have to agree!

[@whiskeyrocknrolla4033]

Me too

[@iangarner8857]

It's brilliant The Cult are very underrated.

[@markrosenquist8259]

Such an awesome riff🙌🔥

[@notnowmike_]

You're not wrong.

[@pixelninja666]

Carl, I've been playing guitar for over 30 years and you are by far the best online tutor I've watched, really well explained tutorials and no ego. My 16 'year old son is now learning to play guitar and I've sent him your way... Thanks for your brilliant videos

[@albert2395]

Have a look at Justin Sandercoe in the UK. He is an Aussie, and he has been endorsed by no other than, Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits fame!😊

[@makaras]

I've been learning this from several of the best regular KZbin guitar teachers (you included) - but you've been the only one of those greats who has made those more awkward parts easy to learn (such as the overdub at the very end) - thanks from London, England!

[@moosterable]

G’day Carl, you are, by far the most authentic teacher on You Tube. Your riffs are always spot on. I cannot stop playing this! Keep ‘em coming 👍🏻

[@seanr8628]

Best lesson I have seen yet for this simple yet classic tune.

[@timothycaron894]

Carl - thank you for the gift of your instruction- been using you lessons for a couple years and totally appreciate your approach , song selection and attention to detail- this cult song is a gem - thank you

[@audiotechlabs4650]

You are a gifted guitarist! More classic Rock for us old guys! Please! I have watched others how to play videos, but your approach and easy explanations help us learn songs that use to take, if we got it right, a lot longer. I subscribe to only the ones I have time to watch, like yours! Keep um' comin'! Please and thank you! Thankz

[@Diegolopezlira]

Thank you very much Carl, I really enjoyed learning this song. It' s great how you find all the little details that makes it really accurate.

[@martyturner7940]

All time fave…thanks for breaking it down so effectively 🍀

[@madddogg7920]

Thanks a lot for the video. It was extremely helpful. It was confusing trying to follow a tab from the Songsterr app but I was able to pick it up much faster with a visual tutorial.

[@timhanson8556]

a great, patient guitar teacher.. some songs are all feel, this one is "Mathematical" in it's approach... but man i've always loved the Ballsy Billy Duffy tone ... thanks for breaking this one down, amazing how much you can rock one or in this case 2 strings !! it's very cool ... ♪

[@pablohernandez8745]

Thanks so much, as usual, never ever dreamed to learn a song in 20 mins, amazing teacher. Just for my understading, is that song in G major but because of the D open string all the time the sound is D mixolydian??? I'm also following your lessons on modes... Thanks a lot!!

[@vincepanico1008]

Awesome man.

[@youbryandarragh]

Carl is just so epic. The devil is in the detail, and Carl nails it.

[@alexandruionescu3368]

Please tell me, on the main riff shall I palm mute the open D string? I am learning this song and, on the main riff, the open D string overwhelms the fretted notes on the G string.

[@nunomc2815]

Thank you so much, Carl ! 👌🙏😀

[@johncarr4199]

PS great video Carl love the cold

[@gav6808]

The Cult a very good 90s band

[@ctam79]

The album version of this song sounds like it has a bit of wah and tremolo to filter out the lower end frequencies...? Also a bit of flange chorus...?

[@alextorres8934]

Do you think you could possibly do Up In Arms by Foo Fighters?

[@tweedguitar9103]

Hi Carl, Any plans for new premium lessons coming up ? Good riff this one is. :)
