Breakthru Words and music by Queen Transcribed by Philipp (PraxisNothaft@t-online.de) Some important notes: A big part of the bass-parts in that song is done with synths. So I made a SYNTH ARRANGEMENT for five-string bass for all those parts where there isn't a "real" bass. For Johns real bass parts you only need a four-string. 0:35 SYNTH ARRANGEMENT Fig.1 end Fig.1 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + G ----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| D-----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| A ----0---1---0---|----0---1---0---|----0---1---0---|1---0---1---0---|2 times !
