Breaking The Girl - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Tab by: Subway-To-Venus
Tuning: Half-Step Down

Okay firstly i have to say that i just created an account on this page to tab this song 
because all the other tabs aren't even close to the chords john plays ^^

Dealing with a John Fru-Chili Song, i suggest you to play it thumb-based.
(look it up on any youtube-john-vid, he plays the E-String with his thumb)
It will be much easier for you to play it (after you learned how to play thumb-based - 
quite diffucilt :D) and of course it sounds a lot more like the original and thats 
what we want to achieve :)

So here it is:

O yeah and of course i can't express the rhythm he plays in this tab, but you can easily 
it out by listening to the song combining it with this tab.
(which is, in my opinion, the best way how to really learn playing the guitar - by 
it out on yourself)

 Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarm

 Keep on playing that stuff until the Vers stars again.

 Verse 2:

 The same as in Verse 1

 Pre Chorus 2:

 The same as in Pre-Chorus 1

 Chorus 2:

 Almost the same as in Chorus 1,
 exept the small but very important
 variation during the last
 "He loves no one else" which
 opens the Interlude:

e--------------------------------------------------------|

E--------------------------------------------------------|

 elseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 Interlude:

 This Part is quite difficult
 because you have to mute the
 E-String with your thumb while
 you slam the rest of the
 strings (mute the unused rest too),
 otherwise this part wouldn't
 sound as good as in the song.

 Continue this part until the Chorus starts again :)    (no way xD)


 Okay you almost made it:
 play the third Chorus as
 usual until the end of
 the song (Outro=Chorus)
 and after that
 you managed to play:         Breaking The Girl

 Congratulations :)) , i hope this one helped you
                       more than the other wrong stuff
                       and feel free to comment ^^

 See you soon, your Subway-To-Venus
