Breaking Benjamin - The Great Divide 'Tab'
NOTE: This is not a perfect tab, it is just a hint on how it's played. Not everything may be correct.
If they were to play this live, I will take notes. Thank you for understanding!
The Great Divide is a new Breaking Benjamin song off their new album "Dark Before Dawn". Here ya go!
Tuning: Drop Bb
NOTE:
- There may be three guitars (acoustic), but I will narrow it down to two guitars: One Rhythm and Lead.
- There is wah in the bridge but too vague to figure out, so I did what I could and heard.
