Jimi Hendrix - The Awakening bass tab

The Awakening - The Reddings Tabbed by Biorn Holmstrom (a.k.a. One Ugly

Bastard)

email: claypool@forpresident.com

This song was originally made a long time ago by the band "the Reddings", but

came to my knowledge when Primus bassist Les Claypool played it on his solo

album, "Les Claypool and the Holy Mackarel presents Highball with the Devil".

(interscope 1996).

First, big thanks to Tamas Viktor (s6041tam@ural2.hszk.bme.hu) for his great

midi-version of this song. Most of this tab was possible because of him.

This tab is also a mixture of different other sources, I've tried to make

it resemble the way les claypool does it...but it's hard cause he plays it

different each time. Well, enjoy:

a.h = harmonic

\ = slide to lower note

/ = slide to higher note

V = strum downwards

^ = strum upwards

X = muted note

time: 4 beats/bar

slap/pop all notes when there's no other instructions like strum or such

where it goes over the end of the neck.

les plays this bar different, but since I can't figure

it out, I stick with this variation, it sounds good too
