Breaking Away
Tuning:standard
This is the closest approximation I could muster, and it doesn't sound too good when you
it alongside the actual song, but when you play it by itself with some distortion and a
sustain it sounds more than passable.
The individual notes are the basic melody, but you can add the (x/) and slides wherever
feels right to get the smooth sweepy sound of the original song. [11] and [16] means
either one (D16 if you want to slide, G11 if you don't).
I've included a simple bare melody at the end just so people don't get confused by the
brackets or my terrible tab skills.
