1. Bread was a 1970s rock and roll band from Los Angeles, California. They are a prime example of what later was labeled as "soft rock."
David Gates (guitar, keyboards, bass and vocals) and Jimmy Griffin (guitar and vocals) formed the group in 1968, adding Robb Royer (guitar, bass and vocals of Pleasure Faire) before signing to Elektra Records. Bread, the band's debut album as a trio, was a failure. The band became a quartet beginning with their second album, On The Waters, bringing in Mike Botts as permanent drummer.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
(This Was My First Tab) Notes: This might sound a bit strange but bear with me The Chords I use are what I call standard Bread chords. (I guess they must have a real name.) I use the following chord shapes or variations of them in most of the bread songs. They are basically normal barre chords but without the barre. I told you it sounded strange. I don't know what the real names for these chords would be but for ease of notation they are as follows.
The "0" denotes an open string.(Obvious I know) This is all in standard tuning. It sounds great on my 40 year old Ibanez 12 string. I hope you enjoy it.
