Haha...the breathing part is especially true, when jamming with friends i
will unitensionally take a deep breath in and hold it before playing a part
that may be tougher for me. I don't know why I started doing that, but it is
an unconcious move on my part. Whenever I do it they always rip on me for
"deep sea diving." but now that I notice it, I can really tell that my body
tenses up.
