Title: Breakthrough Artist: Modest Mouse Album: This is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About Tuning: Standard eBGDAE Tabbed by: Stephen "SPiV" Perreira IV Email: degaspiv01@msn.com Note: I may have Chorus and Verse labeled incorrectly, but it doesn't really matter as long as you learn what's played when and where in the song. If I got it marked wrong, let me know and I'll go and fix it asap! I put some of the stuff in measures for 2 reasons. One, to help you learn these parts seperately to prevent confusion. Two, sometimes, it makes it look a lot neater than one huge bar stretching across the page. The fills are played in the order written. Meaning: Fill 1 is written after chorus, so it's played under the Chorus. Fills 2, 3, and 4 are played after the Solo is played. I think there are 2 guitars. Sometimes in the end it sounds like there are 3, when Isaac starts going into the Outro of the song. I tried my best on the end of the song. If there are any problems, or if it just doesn't sound right, leave a comment and I'll do my best to fix it. Or if you can give me a correction, I'll put it in and you'll get credit for the correction! EDIT: When I submitted it, I forgot to make a few adjustments. I just fixed up a couple bits here and there.
