Take A Breath Tab by David Gilmour Song: "Take a Breath", from the 2006 On An Island album Artist: David Gilmour Phil Manzanera Guy Pratt Ged Lynch Leszek Mozdzer (Jon Carin when live) Submitted by: Leon Lark_noel@hotmail.com From David's new 2006 album, some say his best work yet, some say its a bit plod along. quite like his album, personally, and there is some great parts, even if you dont like whole package. Played on David's black strat from the 70's, now with maple ('57) neck and re-wound Seymor Duncan pickups. You can see the lines in the paint on the back where, perhpaps, the Kahler tremolo system was installed at some point. Please note, this isnt really accurate tab, its just a guide. Palm mutes, Let ring, and other things may not be noted in the TAB. Listen for timing. Standard Tuning: EADGBe Gtr1. w.Tremolo, Delay and Distortion. --0--------------0--------------0x--3-------------------------------------| --0--------------0--------------0x--3--------------3--------------3x------| --1--------------1--------------0x--3--------------3--------------3x------| --2---------------------------------x--------------x--------------x-------| --2---------------------------------5-------------------------------------| --0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0--------0-0-0-0-0-0----0-0-0-0-0-0-----0-0-| --0--------------0-----------------0----0x--------------------------------| --0--------------0-----------------0----0x-----3------------3x------------| --1--------------1------2(3)2p0----1----0x-----3------------3x------------| --2-----------------------------2--------------x------------x-------------| --2--------------------------------------------5--------------------------| --0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-------0----0-0----0-0-0-0-0-0-0-----0-0---| Thats the kinda intro bit, its just playing about, with the odd fill around Em pentatonic, and the Emaj chord, and switching to that wierd 'D-ish' chord. Bridge 1 (Part 2 is just variations on the order of those chords) --------------------------------------------------------------------------| --3-3-3-3--3-3-3-3--------------------------------------------------------| --3-3-3-3--2-2-2-2--------------------------------------------------------| --2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2--------------------------------------------------------| --------------------------------------------------------------------------| --------------------------------------------------------------------------| Slide Solo.
