Artist: Jack Johnson
Song: Breakdown
Album: In Between Dreams
Tuning: Standard
This song is played on a ukulele but its transposed for guitar. Its very simple,
with yet another basic strumming pattern throughout most of the song. Its got all
the goodies, and its perfect as far as I can tell. If Im missing something or you
have any comments or suggestions, let me know at Stickadeez@yahoo.com!
Enjoy!
