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)

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarm
Keep on playing that stuff until the Vers stars again.
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--------------------------------------------------------|

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.

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
