( the slide to the 12 is necessary as it is the guitar,I just like playing it)


play the breakdown parts for the rest of the song, except at end play
E-00-------00-0-0-0-00------00-----00-----00-0-0-0------00----00---00-0-0--


i'm pretty sure on most of this, the wierd breakdown thing isn't to complicated,
all you need to do is slide and bend strings around that 5.
The ending parts (not the techno parts) are all just the fast breakdown parts so
i didn't bother putting them in
