Jesus Freak by D.C. Talk
from the album Jesus Freak
Transcribed by: Bobby Heffernan
Based on tabs by: Gert Hansen and aXman
This is Jesus Freak as I hear it. I haved based my transcription on the
work of Gert Hansen (gerth@usa.net)
who in turn based his work on that of aXman (kyleb@juno.com). These two
people deserve most of the credit for
this work and what I have done is merely an improvement. I have done my
best to make sure this sounds right and
have put a lot of effort into it but this is my first tab and I'm pretty
inexperienced.
I have included parts for both Accoustic and Electric. Each section (e.g. -
intro, verse, pre-chorus, chorus etc.)
consists of two parts: accoustic and electric. Mostly the accoustic is
chords and the electric is tabbed. I have
labeled all of them anyway though. I have also included the bass parts that
Gert did, I have not checked these and
they could be wrong. Also, I have tried to indent it to make it easier to
read, does this help?

Here we go.... Tuning of Guitars: Just like Gert I have written the tab in standard tuning. There are two main reasons for this: firstly Gert originally wrote his tab in standard tuning and two, because it's much easier that way. This song is actually played with a tuning of F (that's a half-note up). Intro: Acoustic Guitar: E G C G A (Note: play these as bar chords, it sounds much better.) Next the electric guitar comes in with the main riff (below).
