Hey...um...Mr. Ascension i was wondering if you were currently working on a tab for the Hawk song California...??

ascension - 2004-08-19

Yeah.... at the moment im working on it.... takes awhile to make a tab... I'll prolly submit it in less than a week. But they don't post them until about five days after that... soo its coming:)

ascension - 2004-08-19

Take me, California, and Things We Go Through are next on my list! On their way!

RcKn'Rll247 - 2004-08-20

guitarist4God10 - 2004-11-21

Can you please tab "race car". I love that song, and since you are obviously really good at tabing songs (and if you have the time) could you please tab it?
Thanx!

Penguin_Lover - 2005-01-23

This rocks man.... and I can't wait for the california one!!! :-D

JMan0105 - 2005-01-24

I'm looking for one person who can tab out 36 Days. I'll give you like a million dollars if anyone can.

c2gn - 2005-02-27

I talked to Jonathan of Hawk Nelson last night at the concert in Minneapolis and he informed me that they play everything in drop C# tunning. Just thought I'd mention that to be helpful to all.

CRloveSkillet13 - 2005-05-24

I have a question.Could someone please tell me What each
member of hawk nelson plays?On the CD I couldn't find anyone
named Jonathan.
Thanks.
,Chris

guitardork08 - 2005-06-03

ok, Jason is the Lead Singer, Daniel is the Bass Player and Vocals, Matt is the Drums, and Jonathan is the Guitarist and Vocals. Jonathan replaced David a.k.a. Davin, when David went back to Canada to be with his wife. Jonathan is just as good as David! any questions email me- guitardork08@bellsouth.net

ryeguy411 - 2005-06-06

Great Tab im glad some one does HAwk Nelson Right

CRloveSkillet13 - 2005-06-06

Thank you guitardork08. Too bad Davin had to leave.

C#/-0
G#/-0
The C#/-0 is in tune with the rest of the song now.

chickxrocker - 2006-06-29

okay, well the entire song is in dropped C#. i fixed this whole tab of yours, moving the numbers up and everything. i also will just let everyone get the strumming, and how many times the notes are played and such, (its really easy in this song). this is the way that they play it, even though your way and this way sound the same:

so pretty much anywhere it says 000 is actually 464

other than that, great tab! :D

switchfootfan93 - 2007-01-05

I am slightly confused... The elevens and tens sound way higher than the song. Please help.

thejesusfreak36 - 2008-01-10

I agree with switchfootfan, they are to high.
