Hillsong United - Break Free
Standard tuning on electric guitar
I tabbed this song only to find out that you can get a professional one free online. Either
way for those of you who are looking for this tab I'd say it's pretty close.
I watched a few guys play it, listened and played with the song.
From the instrumental through the last pre-chorus and chorus you really need to listen to the
song to find the rhythm. The chords are there, but it's difficult to tab.
Legend:
* - for ever 1/4 bend (** 1/2 bend)
x - muted notes
\ - slide down
/ - slide up
