Tuning: Standard E
This obscure little song consists of only two main riffs, with some small
variations along the way.
During the creepy intro, play this 12x (light overdrive w. phaser effect):
e|-----------------------------|
B|-----------------------------|
G|-----------------------------|
D|-------------------5--5h6-7--|
A|------------5--5h7-----------|
E|--0---0-5h7------------------|
The verse riff is almost identical (from here on, use a moderately heavy overdrive):
e|-----------------------------|
B|-----------------------------|
G|-----------------------------|
D|-------------------5--5-6-7--|
A|------------7--5-7-----------|
E|--0---0-5/7>>----------------|
The last time before the drum break, play this:
e|-------------------|
B|-------------------|
G|-------------------|
D|-------------------|
A|------------7--7---|
E|--0---0-5/7--------|
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/judas_priest/winter_tab.html ]
Play this riff 4x:
e|---------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------3-------|
E|--12---10---8-10---\--5----0-3>>--5----|
(Another guitar plays this harmony during the third time...
e|---------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------|
A|--10---9---7-9----10----9h10-12--12----|
E|---------------------------------------|
...and this during the last):
e|---------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------|
D|--10---9---7-9----10----9h10-----------|
A|-----------------------------10--12----|
E|---------------------------------------|
Play the verse riff again, and end it like this (on the eight and last time):
e|-------------------|
B|-------------------|
G|-------------------|
D|-------------------|
A|------------7--7---|
E|--0---0-5/7>>------|
That's it, some vintage 70s Priest for ya!
