About Judith


Judith is the lead single from A Perfect Circle's debut album Mer de Noms, released in 2000. This hard rock track showcases the band's heavy, angular riff-driven style combined with Maynard James Keenan's distinctive vocals. The song's dissonant guitar work and dynamic intensity make it a compelling study in alternative metal composition for electric players.

  • Released as the lead single from A Perfect Circle's debut album Mer de Noms in 2000.
  • Features heavy, dissonant riffing typical of the band's alternative metal approach.
  • Maynard James Keenan's vocal performance contrasts with the song's aggressive guitar dynamics.

How to Play Judith

Tuning: Drop D · Key: D minor · Tempo: 88 BPM

The drop D tuning lets you fret the low power chords with a single finger, which is central to the heavier riffing here. At 88 bpm the slow tempo leaves every note exposed, so timing, vibrato, and dynamics matter more than raw speed.

Loop each section and focus on clean, even timing rather than speed, with the metronome at 88 BPM.
