Haunted Shores

Haunted Shores - Cradle of Filth Ok, as with most Cradle of Filth songs, the guitar work isn't godly - but timing is everything. My advice is to learn the riffs and then try to play along. I made a small attempt to show timing in the tab, but you should be able to pick it up quite easily. Riffs 3a, 4a, 8a and the lead riff over 6a have been updated. The intro riff is there too (named Riff Alpha... to avoid me having to do loads of work restructuring the tab ;) Riff Alpha: The left-speaker riff played really loudly over the cello bit at the start of the song. Personally, I liked it better without this one... No timing as usual. |---------------|-----------|-------|---------------| |---------------|-----------|-------|---------------| |---------------|-----------|---5---|---------------| |-5-8-7-5-8-7-5-|-5-8-7-5-7-|-8---8-|-7-8-7-5-8-7-5-| |---------------|-----------|-------|---------------| |---------------|-----------|-------|---------------| Riff 1a: The intro riff.

If you're lucky enough to have a keyboardist handy, no problem. Otherwise try playing Dm, F, C, Gm twice on a clean guitar, then kick the distortion and play the power chords. |-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------| |-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------| |-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------| |-7-----------|-3-----------|-5-----------|-5-----------| |-5-----------|-3-----------|-3-----------|-5-----------| |-5-----------|-1-----------|-3-----------|-3-----------| hold hold hold hold Riff 6a: Guitar two is playing sixteenth notes. Timing for these riffs in the tab is non-existant so listen to the song. Good Luck!

The rhythm changes, but it's easy to pick up. There's something similar to riff 11a going on, but I really don't feel like figuring it out. |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| |-3---------------|-2-------3-------|-2---------------|-----------------| |-3---------------|-2-------3-------|-2---------------|-----------------| |-1---------------|-0-------1-------|-0---------------|-----------------| hold hold hold hold Riff 11a: Hardly a riff. The three lone notes that end the song. The other guitar plays a harmony...umm, probably a fifth lower. Tweak it yourselves. |-------------| |-6-----------| |------5----4-| |-------------| |-------------| |-------------| SONG STRUCTURE: Cello intro + Riff Alpha throughout Riff 1a Riff 1b x2 Riff 2a x8 + Riff 2b x2 Riff 2a x8 + Riff 2b x2 Riff 3a x4 Riff 4a x1 Riff 2a x8 + Riff 2b x2 Riff 2a x8 + Riff 2b x2 Riff 5a x4 Riff 6a x1 Riff 5a x4 Riff 7a x2 + Riff 7b x2 Riff 8a x4 Riff 9a x4 Riff 2a x8 + Riff 2b x2 Riff 2a x8 + Riff 2b x2 Riff 3a x4 Riff 10a x4 then x8 with new rhythm Riff 11a x1
