Break Free

Although we already have various versions of the song here, David has done some variations of the song which you might find interesting.

By David



Intro & Verse Pt.1 (Guitar 1) (Original)

Note: Keep in mind that guitar 1 does NOT actually play the harmonics that I did play in the vid, they're actually played
by guitar 2

Hook (Won't you break free)

Note: In the vid I play the variation first and then I play the original just so you could see how both of them sound. Also the variation is from the "In a valley by the sea" album.

Hook (Variation)

Note: on the note that has a vibrato sign by it you just push it up a half step for half a beat and then drop it back down - do it fast to make it sound good.

Solo + Variation for Chorus (Guitar 2)

Note: In the vid it says (Guitar 1) but it's actually Guitar 2 because at that time Guitar 1 is playing the really fast rhythm part

Strum

Note: The (7)'s means harmonics on those strings at the seventh fret. This variation is done by me except for the part where you slide from the second fret to the fourteenth... I picked that up from listening to one of the albums.
