Tabs
Hi! This is the tab for the demo of 21st century breakdown. It's my first tab, but I think that it's ok. I'm not sure about the picking, but I'm not an expert in the issue, so, if you have any corrections or suggestions, please, send them to [email protected] INTRO (this part is played by a piano, but I tabbed it anyway) E MajorE|-------4---4--4--6--4--------| BB|-----6---6------------7--6---| G+G|---6-------------------------| D MajorD|-----------------------------| A augmentedA|-----------------------------| E MajorE|-----------------------------| If you don't wanna play the pianotabattemp, you can play the chords that are played in the piano, wich are C#C# G#G# F#. Listen to the song to find how many times you have to play this.
