Soul One by Blind Melon Tabbed by: Ian McNaught (Pearlincubus) Email: imcnaught@student.stonehill.edu Tuning: standard This is another great song by an underappreciated band. I pretty sure its played on a twelve string but it still sounds great on a six string. I only have the main guitar here, if you want the other guitar just improvise in E and it will sound cool. The intro/verse riff is awesome and its really what carries the song I think. Also just listen for the strum pattern for the fills/bridge...its pretty easy to get. Too bad more people dont realize how good they really were...
