                        "SECTARIAN" - Steven Wilson
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: simon_brekke@hotmail.com   Feel free to ask questions.
From the album Grace For Drowning.
This is my first tab. Sorry if it is not 100% correct.

This song is in 7/8 and each dash represents one 16th note,
thus 14 dashes per measure.
Since the number 10 takes up two dashes, it is hard to write
the rhythm correctly in the first chord.
Therefore, I will make T = 10th fret.

just keyboard jazz solos that you don't have to worry about.
