Boz Scaggs - Breakdown Dead Ahead
from Greatest Hits Live, 2004
solo performed by Drew Zingg which is bit different from original (Steve
Lukather's on Middle Man).
Solo is difficult to tab but all notes should be there..any corrections are welcome.
In verses, could not tab better but listen to the song and see what i meant by "G7
G7sus4 G7". Like this:
G-----5-4--|
D----3-3---|

Then just maybe you're in way above your head
I may burn, might upset you
But you know I'd never let you down
No, no, no
