Heartbreaker

Grand Funk Railroad
Tab
★4.8(13)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

This is may second tab. You will notice it's not finished, but I hope it still helps.

It made this tab cause I couldn't find a tab of this song with the actual notes of, say,

parts. Again, I hope it helps!

Unfortunatly I do not have the rest of this solo ( or the other solos) tabbed out, but

can improvise with a scale and it will sound good (thats what I do :P).

This is the scale For the other solos this is the scale

e|-----------------7-10-|-------------------------7-10-12-----------------|

Following that slow solo, there is a part with arpeggios.

Bm x8 | A x8 | G x8 | B x13
