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) Intro: e--------------------------------------------------------| B-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-5-5-6^5-5-7-7-7-8^7-7-9-10-10-10-------| G-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-9-9--9--9--------| D-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-9-11-11-11-------| 4x A-------3^0----------------------------------------------| E--------------------------------------------------------| Verse: e--------------------------------------------------------| B-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-5-5-6^5-5-7-7-7-8^7-7-9-10-10-10-------| G-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-9-9--9--9--------| D-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-9-11-11-11-------| A-------3^0----------------------------------------------| E--------------------------------------------------------| I am a man cut from the know continue playing that part until the Pre-Chorus Pre-Chorus: e-0-0-0-0-0-0-3-3-3-3-3-3-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0------------| B-1-1-1-1-1-1-3-3-3-3-3-3-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1------------| G-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2------------| D-2-2-2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-0-0-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2------------| A-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-2------| E-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x------------| Feeling so gooood that dayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ^^ e-0-0-0-0-0-0-3-3-3-3-3-3-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0------------| B-1-1-1-1-1-1-3-3-3-3-3-3-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1------------| G-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2------------| D-2-2-2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-0-0-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3------------| A-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2-2-2-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3------------| E-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x------------| A feeling of looove that dayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy (btw He really mutes the E-String here) Chorus: e--------------------------------------------------------| B--------------------------------------------------------| G-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-9-9-9-9-9-9-12-12-12-12-12-12--| D-5-5-5-5-5-5-6-6-6-6-6-6-7-7-7-7-7-7-9--9--9--9--9--9---| A--------------------------------------------------------| E-5-5-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-8-8-8-8-8-8-10-10-10-10-10-10--| Twisting and turning your feelings are burning you're e--------------------------------------------------------| B--------------------------------------------------------| G-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9--------| D-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9--------| A-7-7-7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5-5-5--------------------------------| E-------------------------8-8-8-8-8-8-7-7-7-7-7-7--------| Breaking the giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirl....

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--------------------------------------------------------| B--------------------------------------------------------| G-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-8-8-8-8-8-8-7-7-7-7-7-7--------| D-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-6-6-6-6-6-6--------| A-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-7-7-7-7-7-7--------| 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. e------------------------------------15-15-15----------| B------------------------------------15-15-15----------| G-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-14-x-x-x-x-x-14-14-14----------| D-x-x-x-x-x-5-x-x-x-x-x-14-x-x-x-x-x-15-15-15----------| A-0-0-0-0-0-7-0-0-0-0-0-x--0-0-0-0-0-x--x--x-----------| E-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x--x-x-x-x-x-x--x--x-----------| 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
