"Blood Witch" by the Melvins Tab by Turbo_zoobomb DROP D TUNING!!! The first 2/3 of the song revolves around this rhythm: |-------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------| |--0------0---0-0-----0-0-0------0-0------0---0-0----0-0-0----| |--0------0---0-0-----0-0-0------0-0------0---0-0----0-0-0----| |--0------0---0-0-----0-0-0------0-0------0---0-0----0-0-0----| It's a weird rhythm to get used to. I think of it as groups of 1, 2's, and 3's 1 1 2 3 2 1 2 3 (I hope that helps and doesn't confuse you even more) The rest is easy but there's a lot of distinct parts that you have to pay close attention to so as not to get lost.
