Witch Hunt
By Rush
album: Moving Pictures 1981
Okay so here's how it goes:
first you start with:
[intro]
e---------------------------|
b---------------------------|
g---------------------------|
d---------------------------|
a--4-5-0-1------------------|
e-3--------2----------------|
do this about 4 times
then the main riff is:
[riff 1]
e--------------3-------------------|
b--------------3-------------------|
g--------------3-------------------|
d--3--5--3--5----5-----------------|
a--3--5--3--5----5-----------------|
e----------------------------------|
do this 5 times then:
[riff 2]
e--------------------------------------------|
b--------------------------------------------|
g--------------------------------------------|
d-9--7--9--7--9--7--9--7--9------------------|
a-9--7--9--7--9--7--9--7--9------------------|
e--------------------------------------------|
then go to this:
[mini riff]
e----------------------------|
b----------------------------|
g----------------------------|
d--3----3-3------------------|
a--3----3-3------------------|
e----------------------------|
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/r/rush/witch_hunt_tab_ver_3.html ]
now for the main chorus
[Main Chorus]
e--------------------------------------------------|
b--------------------------------------------------|
g-------------------------------7---7---5---5------|
d-----5-----5------8---8--------7---7---5---5------|
a-----5-----5------8---8------5---5----3---3-------|
e--3-----3-------6----6----------------------------|
after the main chorus, it plays a second time, starting from now on with this:
[special riff]
e---------------|
b---------------|
g---------------|
d---3---3-------|
a---3---3-------|
e-1---1---------|
so all in all it should go like this:
[intro]X4
[riff 1]X5
[riff 2]
[mini riff]
[riff 1]X4
[riff 2]
[mini riff]
[main chorus]X8
[special riff]
[main riff]
[special riff]
[main riff]
[riff 1]X4
[riff 2]
[mini riff]
[riff 1]X4
[riff 2]
[mini riff]
[riff 1]X4
[riff 2]
[mini riff]
[main chorus]
[special riff]
[main chorus]
and it keeps going
[main chorus]
[special riff]
until the song fades out
I don't really know how to explain the beat
it's easier to learn if you listen to the song
well, I hope this helped anyone who needed it
