Breakdown by Tom Petty - Acoustic Solo
Here is an acoustic version of the solo to Tom Petty's "Breakdown."
The first two measures of the solo repeats the main riff to the song. You will hear this intro, here in the solo, and again at the end of song as the song fades.
The riff is followed by two guitar licks. The first lick is played in the A minor pentatonic scale at the fifth fret. I am playing a quick slide from fret 7 to 8, and then back to fret 8 instead of playing a bend like you hear in the Tom Petty recording. The slide is a little easier than bending on the acoustic.
The final climactic lick is played starting with a slide from fret three to five. I am playing double stops (two strings at a time). The rhythm is all triplets. This lick ends with a few slides along the second string alternating with the open first string.
