Don't Wake Me: Authentic Guitar TAB

This folio gives guitarists direct access to the exact transcriptions from a chart-topping album, eliminating the guesswork of learning by ear. Skillet's guitar lines combine straightforward power chords with intricate riffing and effects, making the TAB both accessible and musically rewarding for intermediate players building their rock and contemporary styles.

Raw, electrifying, and introspective. Skillet's guitar work spans from crushing distorted power chords that drive hard choruses to angular, syncopated riffs that weave between electronic textures. The songs balance aggressive sonic landscapes with moments of restraint, creating dynamic contrast that keeps listeners and players engaged throughout.

Intermediate and advanced electric guitarists who want authentic transcriptions of a major contemporary Christian rock album. This folio serves students exploring modern rock styles, worship band musicians expanding their repertoire, and players interested in industrial rock production and heavy riffing techniques.

• Study the original recordings while reading the TAB to understand the production layering; Skillet's sound relies heavily on distortion and effects that shape the feel of each riff.
• Pay attention to rhythmic syncopation in the verses, particularly how guitar lines interact with electronic percussion and bass to create tension before the chorus.
• Experiment with your distortion settings and amp tone to match the album's heavy, punchy aesthetic without losing note clarity in faster passages.
• Lock the rhythm guitar to a solid, consistent feel by practicing with a metronome; Skillet's grooves demand precision even when the production sounds loose and live.

Use individual songs from this folio in contemporary worship settings or student recitals exploring modern rock repertoire. The album's arc works well as a multi-song program unit, or select standout tracks like "Hero" and "Awake and Alive" as concert closers that appeal to younger audiences and showcase electric guitar capability.
