Band: Rage Against the Machine
Album: Rage Againt the Machine
The version of this song that I found on OLGA was pitifully
incomplete. So here it is folks, my nearly complete version of
"Wake Up." There are two guitar parts laid on top of each other,
but I only tabbed out the first, the most important part of the
second is during the verse and that's just mainly funky-wah type
staggering.
(I skipped the second solo, you can do that on you own. good luck)
DROP D TUNING
INTRO
It goes something like this. Strum the opening chord and let
it ring. Don't actually stagger the "X" bar, just kind of pause.
Main part repeats over and over.
