Wake - tabbed by Astat Guitar 1 - D A D G B E (Distorted) Guitar 2 - D A D G B E (Distorted) Guitar 3 - D A D G B E (Distorted) Guitar 4 - D A D G B E (Distorted w/reverb) Guitar 5 - D A D G B E (Distorted w/reverb) Guitar 6 - D A D G B E (Distorted) *Note* Guitars 1, 2, and 6 are Gibson Les Pauls. Guitars 3, 4, and 5 are Fender Stratocasters. Use the bridge pickup unless otherwise noted. This song is a fantastic intro, I've always felt that the full band instrumentals are a lot cooler than the instrumentals that are done almost entirely by Joe or Mike. The first 3 guitar parts only appear for the little build-up into the main theme - Guitars 1 and 2 supply the high-pitched feedback (I've notated this as a 3rd fret harmonic on the G string, which is a bit of a tough harmonic to get a lot of sustain out of, but it's probably the most reliable way of achieving the correct pitch. Realistically it's probably just some feedback generated off a sustained G octave at the 10th and 12th frets, or maybe something involving an EBow, but I wanted to notate the actual pitch of the feedback), while Guitar 3 plays a quick little pair of muted strums, panned to the right (this guitar doesn't have reverb on it like Guitars 4 and 5 do, so I made it a separate track). Once the main part kicks in, Guitars 4 and 5 double each other for the octaves, while Guitar 6 is oddly not doubled and sits dead center in the mix playing powerchords. Pretty simple, just watch out for the bent octave in Guitar 4 and 5's parts. To do this, fret the octave and gradually bend both strings at the same time by curling your fingers downward (it's about a half step bend, and you bend the first octave, then hold the bend for the remaining ones). On the live version, Brad plays Guitar 4/5 and Mike plays Guitar 6. Since there really isn't a structure to this song (at least during the first minute or so), I've used time markers to label at what point in the song the guitar parts come in. Also, while Brad has always played this song on humbucker-equipped guitars live, that likely has to do with its transition directly into Given Up, which requires humbuckers. On the album version, the octave parts are definitely Strats.
