Hey fellow guitarists, I tabbed you all a song, "Breathe" by Collective Soul. This is
of my favorite songs, and the existing version tabbed is missing
a few notes in the verse and lacks the bridge, solo, and outro.
I tabbed the whole song to the best of my ability, even the solo. This solo is a great
and totally worth learning. It's not that hard, but sounds
pretty cool, so whatever, go ahead.
Now, a few places were questionable as in what the guitarist actually played, because of
vocals and drumming so I had to take a guess at it. I know
the bridge is probably off, but I tried. Also, in the end of the solo, the crazy bends
the 15th fret are not really in any order, I couldn't get the
exact one because it sounds like theres 2 guitars playing that section, but what I have
and sounds good.
There are a few places I will put *s under the tab or something, there will be a few
There is no tempo, I broke it into sections and have how many
times that section is played to the right of the section. Pretty self-explanatory.
