Song:Ritual
Artist:Downset
Album:Downset
Tabbed by Nic Rizzi
To play this song, you'll need to tune your guitar to drop-d,
and then tune that a WHOLE step down (c,g,c,f,a,d)
Intro:
|--16------------13-------------|
|--------14-------------11------|
|----16-------------13----------|
|-------------------------------|
|-------------------------------|
|-------------------------------|
This is played twice, then once as a chord, then twice again,
and then it becomes this:
|--16-----------------16-----13---------------------13----|
|---------14------14-----------------11--------11---------|
|-----16-----16------------------13------13---------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------|
Main riff:
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--11-11-10---11-11-10-8-10-11-10-8-10-8-----------|
|---9--9--8----9--9--8-6--8--9--8-6--8-6-----------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
This riff ends with these three chords:
|-------------------------------|
|-------------------------------|
|-------------------------------|
|--4-4-3------------------------|
|--4-4-3------------------------|
|--4-4-3------------------------|
In the middle of the verse, when the guitar comes in,
it plays this:
|-----------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------13----------|
|--10-10-10-10-10-11-11-11-10-----12------------|
|---8--8--8--8--8--9--9--9--8---11--------------|
|-----------------------------------------------|
verse (continued)
|----------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------15------14--|
|--10-10-10-10-10-11-11-11------14------13-----|
|---8--8--8--8--8--9--9--9----13------12-------|
|----------------------------------------------|
Chorus: Same as main riff
Right after the chorus is another one of my all
time favorite melodies:
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
|--8-6-8------6-8-6-8-------6-8-8-6-8-------6-8-9-9-9-9-8-6-8-------|
|---------8-10---------8-10-------------8-10------------------------|
After playing this twice, guitar 2 enters with this matching
melody, and plays at the same time:
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|10-8-10-------8-10-8-10------8-10-10-8-10------8-10-11-11-11-11-10-8-10--|
|---------8-10-----------8-10---------------8-10--------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Then, this riff follows:
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|-3-1-3-----1--3-1-3------1h3--3-1-3------1-3-4-4--3-3--------|
|-3-1-3-1h3----3-1-3-1h3-------3-1-3-1h3----3-4-4--3-3--------|
|-3-1-3--------3-1-3-----------3-1-3--------3-4-4--3-3--------|
|PM.| |PM | |PM | |PM..........|
You play this once, before you do this:
|----------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------|
|-3-1-3-----1--3-1-3-----1h3-3-1-3------1-3-4-4-4-4-3-1-3--|
|-3-1-3-1h3----3-1-3-1h3-----3-1-3-1h3----3-4-4-4-4-3-1-3--|
|-3-1-3--------3-1-3---------3-1-3--------3-4-4-4-4-3-1-3--|
|PM | |PM | |PM | |Palm muted...|
You play this until Rey says: "or this lack of humanity!"
>From then on you play the chorus, and to end the song,
you play the intro.

This tab is from The Downset Web Site - http://www.downset.demon.co.uk
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official DOWNSET tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
