COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN
LED ZEPPLIN
Hey, Girl, Stop what you're doin'
Hey, Girl, You'll drive me to ruin
I don't know what it is I like about you, but I like it alot
Oh, to let me hold you, Let me feel you lovin charms.
Communication breakdown its always the same
I'm havin' a nervous breakdown .. drive me insane
Hey, Girl, I got something I think you ought to know
Hey, babe, I wanna tell you that I love you so
I wanna hold you in my arms, yeah
I'm never gonna let you go 'cause I like your charms
Chrous

Communications Breakdown
B---T--------------------7---5--7-
This pattern doesn't change until the Chorus, where it switches to:
B---T----------------5---------------5---------------5-----------------
A------7-7-9-7-7-9-x-7---7-9-7-7-9-r-7---7-9-7-7-7-9-7---7-9-7-7-7-9-7-
E------5-5-5-5-5-5-x-5---5-5-5-5-5-r-5---5-5-5-5-5-5-5---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-
Semi P.M.---- Semi P.M. Semi P.M.-- Semi P.M.-----
the inconvenience of a two digit number (11), therefore no dash. The part
where it says "1199" and "77" are due to this same problem, as well as that two
sixteenth notes are played while up until here the pattern has been eigth
notes. In other words he doubles time splitting the note into two, but not
skipping a beat. This isn't really complex at all, the problem is the way I've
written out the TAB. It wouldn't be confusing if I knew how to do this
properly. Sorry.
Then back to the main riff of eigth note Es and the D-A-D changes,
after which the chorus is repeated. The second time through the main riff and
chorus there are some minor changes which are probably not too hard to figure,
including some slides and harmonics (at the seventh fret). This is because
there have actually been two electric guitars doing this part, and the second
guitar changes to these minor variations. Anyway, let's get to the solo:
During the solo the second guitar repeats this pattern (until the
chorus):
B---T--9-----------------7-----5---7---
G---A--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-r-7-----6---7---
D---B--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-r-7-----7---7---
A------7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-r-5-----7---5---
E------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-r-------5-------
Semi-P.M. throughout
Solo:
B---T--12-----15^12-12--------12-15^12-12-12-----12-15^12-12-----12------15^12-
G---A--14b-------------14-14b----------------14b-------------14b-14b-----------
10b----10b^10^8---10-8---------------7/9---9-9\7-7-0 continues on into the
going to do anyone any
good anyway, what with my absolute lack of any time structure here.
