Breathe is one of the great pieces of music on the album, Dark Side of the Moon, and is a must for all guitar fans! so here I will explain to you the Pink Floyd guitar chart setup for the song Breath and what you need to play on your guitar. As this is a regular and unique piece, it is important to understand the many layers used in the song, Breathe.

There are two main guitar parts in Breathe which is the slide guitar aka pedal steel guitar and also the electric guitar which uses a clean tone with a phaser to give it a distinct clean sound. Begin the piece with the electric guitar for clean tones.

Pink Floyd’s guitar charts for the song Breath begin with a signature Pink Floyd Em chord that is slowly strummed upwards. Follow this by selecting Em’s notes, form chord shapes while selecting individual notes with a melody that can be easily recognized and repeated when listening to the original record.

The chords are shown below:

Slide Guitar starts in the key of Em with a double-stop vibrato and slide both at the 12th fret (slide to the 14th fret).
