Learning To Breathe
"Live in San Diego" DVD version

There is already a tab for this song on here. That tab is for the cd version,
and has a few mistakes in it. This tab is how Tim plays it on the DVD to the 
best of my knowledge. There is only a shot of him like every 30 seconds and 
most of the time you can't see exactly how he is playing it on the fretboard. 
This is as close to the way he plays it you can get (unless you see them 
concert of course...) Check out the DVD,which is awesome if you havn't seen 
it already.  Enjoy :)   Tabbed by Keith Perez

Remember, this is how Tim plays it. He slides all up and down and 
never really stays in first position. A lot of this could be played in first 
position (which is how the other tab is), but I tabbed it out the way he 
plays it, not the easiest way to play the song.
 
Prequel (This is what he plays before the song starts):

G---------------------------------------------------------------------
D-------------------------------------/7---9---10---12----------------
A-0---2---3---5--5-7---0---2---3---5--------------------0---2---3---5-
E---------------------------------------------------------------------

G----------------------------------------------
D-/7---5----9---------------------/7----9---10- Then directly into the intro..
A---------7---7-5--0---2---3---5---------------
E----------------------------------------------

For the intro he he does this thing where he pulls off on the string with his 
right hand fingers and makes it slap on the fretboard. It has the same sound 
as slapping.
