Submitted by: BrimLIVING IS SIMPLE by Switchfoot From the Album LEARNING TO BREATHE C 2000 re:think Transcribed by Brim xavjr@cox.net b=bend h=hammer p=pulloff /=slide up \=slide down The intro riff sounds very "Beatles" is fun to play because of the bending. The meter I think is 6/6, hence the swing/anticipation feel in the bass lines. I tried to nail it note-for-note.
