Breaking The Girl Chords & Tabs
ARTIST: RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS
SONG: BREAKING THE GIRL
ALBUM: BLOODSUGARSEXMAGIK
THE BOOK FOR BLOODSUGAR... FEATURES A TERRIBLE VERSION OF THIS SONG. THE VIDEO OF WHEN THIS WAS RECORDED IS CALLED 'FUNKY MONKS' AND IT SHOWS JOHN PLAYING IT FOR RECORDING. IT IS SO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TO THE BOOK AND I AM SHOCKED AT HOW PEOPLE CAN GET PAYED FOR DOING SOMETHING THAT BAD.
JOHN USES A 12 STRING BUT I USED A 6 SIMPLY USING MY BOSS PITCH SHIFTER TO GIVE ME A 12 STRING SOUND.
HE ALSO TUNES DOWN A HALF A STEP TO LESSEN THE STRING TENSION.
I'LL PUT A SONG STRUCTURE AT THE BOTTOM.
HERE YOU GO AND PLEASE DONT HESITATE TO MAIL ME WITH ANY PROBLEMS.
