__________

The album version of St. Vitus Dance is tuned slightly sharp of C#, somewhere between C# and D-Standard, but we're going to do it in C#-Standard as they would have played it live.

One cool and unique thing about this song is that the riffs for this one are played in 3 separate keys:

First Riff - B Major in C# Standard (D Major position in E Standard)

Second Riff - B minor in C# Standard (D minor position in E Standard)

Third Riff - G# minor in C# Standard (B minor position in E Standard)

So it goes to the parallel minor in the Second Riff, and the relative minor in the Third Riff. All of it is pretty in-key, while the bluesy minor third is used in the First Riff.
