               BREAKTHROUGH(Isaac Brock's Part) - Modest Mouse

Tabbed by: Isaac

NOTE: I was able to decipher Isaac's part by ear and by watching live performances. There are two
guitar parts on the recording, but this is just a tab of Isaac Brock's part specifically. I may
also make a tab for the second guitar part some time in the future. Any corrections are welcome,
but I am confident this is correct.

CHORUS (loud part):
(The strumming pattern varies between eight down strummed eighth notes per chord
and four down strummed eights; four sixteenth note strums in a down, up, down up
pattern; two down strummed eighths. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason
here so just do what feels right. Just before the solo and a couple of times once
the solo is over Isaac throws in some fifth fret harmonics.)
