Thread Name: Breathing During Instrumental Playing
Subject: Breathing During Instrumental Playing
When I get really focused on a tune, especially a new tune that I am working on, I almost stop breathing while playing my banjo. I get so focused on what I am doing that when I stop I realize I have been barely breathing, my mouth is dry and I have no clue why I do this. I have a feeling it does not enhance my playing, but I get so engrossed in my music that I guess I forget everything else, including to breath.
I don't think that is very healthy.

Just wondering if anyone else experience anything like this.
