What if GF has breakdown riffs?

Hypothetically speaking, how would the charts be if they're breakdown riffs (chuga chuga)? OPEN-OPEN-OPEN---OPEN-OPEN-OPEN?

If I may ask, what are breakdown riffs? (sorry, I'm not a guitar expert nor a player)

In metal, the guitars play a set of rhythmically oriented riffs, usually on open strings so as to achieve the lowest and heaviest sound for which the guitars are tuned...

If you are a sight-reader, and know some knowledge of music theory through RCM (Royal Conservatory of Music). Then, you should know that certain notes being played within Guitar Freaks, are actual note representations of each individual scale. I honestly do not know how to actually play guitar, I had one, but I sold it because i suck at it royally .

However, I do believe that if you take three sounded notes in a certain order on a guitar song, then compar those sounds on a staff-line OF a guitar sheet, then you will probably get the basic melodie.

I believe that is what you are asking, and I could be wrong about this, considering I am still a beginner at theory.

If each note on a scale were represented by the notes on a Guitar Freaks chart, then songs with fast picking on single notes (ex. Just about anything above 80, but Purple Storm comes to mind) would make Super Random charts look like as easy as the Puffy Ami Yumi song on Basic.
