• Song:

    Follow The Son

  • Artist:

    Hillsongs

These are the tabs for the various parts of Follow The Son, from Hillsong's album Mighty 
Save!
Tabbed By: Jeremy
This song is GUITAR DRIVEN!
Nigel(Hillsong's lead guitarist) uses a mixture of effects, but you can get by simply 
distortion and delay, to achieve a similar effect!
After watching Nigel's guitar workshop, these are what I've figured out.

Solo for INTRO/ VERSE (This part is tricky!) 'Heavy Distortion & Delay'
e|-9---7---9---10---9-----9-7----------------------------|
b|---9---8---9----9---9-------8--------------------------|
g|----------------------9-------9------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------|

TIMON KLEIN's Second Guitar Part for INTRO/ VERSE (This starts the song and is played 
the verses while Nigel plays his part, above)
e|-----------------0-0-----------------------------------|
b|-----------------0-0-----------------------------------|
g|-6-6-4-4-6-6-----1-4-----------------------------------|
D|-x-x-x-x-x-x-6-6-2-4-----------------------------------|
A|-4-4-2-2-4-4-x-x-2-2-----------------------------------|
E|-x-x-x-x-x-x-4-4-0-0-----------------------------------|


Nigel's Chorus Part (This part is awesome & EASY!!)
This is simply sliding the "D" chord up and down!
e|- 9-(x8)-4-(x8)-11-(x8)-12-(x4)-11-(x4)----------------|
b|-10-(x8)-5-(x8)-12-(x8)-12-(x4)-12-(x4)----------------|
g|- 9-(x8)-4-(x8)-11-(x8)-11-(x4)-11-(x4)----------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------|

This Part is played after the chorus when they sing ("You are everything to me") There 
2 guitar parts that harmonize amazingly together!!

NIGEL's SOLO Part (the part you mostly hear)
e|-12-12-11-11-12-12-----------12---11-h12-11------------|
b|-------------------10-10-9-9----9----------------------|
g|-------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------|


TIMON KLEIN's Second Guitar HARMONY Part
e|-------------------------------------------------------|
b|-------------------------------------------------------|
g|-------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------|
A|-4-4---------4-4-7-7-7-7-2-2-2-2-----------------------|
E|-----4-4-5-5-------------------------------------------|

The Bridge consists of Nigel and Timon "chasing" each other.
The chords are: A, C#m, E, B (each note played twice)

This is the first time I've ever written out a tab, so if I messed up the notation, let 
know!!
Good Luck!
Practice each part at half speed first!
These are for the key of E, so you can play along with Hillsong's version!
