Awake And Alive Solo (ver 2) by Skillet
The way I play it is in Drop D(closest to standard tuning). If you don't like that then
another tab! :P I personally think the song is actually played in drop D(after watching
videos), but who knows and who cares. Anyways, hope it's good enough. I did it all by
in like an hour, although actually playing it took about 2 days(not constant playing of
Good Luck!
Also, it's a little easier to learn the solo in sections so I have pre-divided the solo
that it can be learned by individual sections first, then put together when you feel you
it under your fingers.

..pm..= palm mute
V = vibrato
S = Slide
H = Hammer on
P = Pull

Figure out rythmn on your own.
