Breakdown - Gary Clarke Jr. 


This is the version from his early Gary Clark Jr E.P, 
rather than his new album Blak and Blu.  Though the two versions are similar,
 I do not believe the album version has the main riff which is at the start of the EP.

During the verse, palm mute the root note of each chord and play just that (e.g 4, 
6 and 3 on the A string)

I haven't tabbed the solo, I like to just improvise using pentatonic scales.
