Breaking Down Tablatura por The Black Keys
The lead guitar part for the entire song "Breaking Down" by The Black Keys. Drop D tuning is needed to hit a low D during the chorus without an effects pedal or a tremolo bar.Esta informação foi útil?SimNão
Afinação:D A D G B E
Tecla:D
Capotraste:Sem capotraste
Either use drop D tuning or use a dive bomb or pedal effect to get the low D on the 4th bar of the chorus
melody. The bend in the third bar is tricky, maybe I'm using the wrong fingerings, but it could be replaced
with two slides instead.
