------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BREAKTHROUGH(Isaac Brock's Part) - Modest Mouse ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Isaac E-mail: talleyi21@gmail.com NOTE: I was able to decipher Isaac's part by ear and by watching live performances. There are two guitar parts on the recording, but this is just a tab of Isaac Brock's part specifically. I may also make a tab for the second guitar part some time in the future. Any corrections are welcome, but I am confident this is correct. Tuning: E A D G B e INTRO: (palm muted)

There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason here so just do what feels right. Just before the solo and a couple of times once the solo is over Isaac throws in some fifth fret harmonics.)
