No Rain - Blind Melon Tabbed by Jim Huskey (mr_pink_42@hotmail.com) here's what my tab means... pretty standard notation I think but maybe not... / - slide up \ - slide down ^ - bend up ~ - vibrato I think thats all you use in this song. Its a really easy song when you break it down. Its all in standard tuning with a lead electric and a rhythm acoustic. I'm tabbing out the electric because that's much more fun!
Intro (Clean tone) E E E |-------------------------------------------------| |--10--10/12--------10--10/12--------10--10/12----| |-------------9~---------------9~--------------9~-| |-------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------| Then it goes to this... the bass kicks in here too. E D E |--------------------I-------------| |-----10-9-10--------I-------------| |--9-----------11--9-I-7-9---7-9~--| |--------------------I-------------| |--------------------I-------------| |--------------------I-------------| This part repeats 2 and a half times. It stops where its marked on the tab and goes to this little fill. |--9-10-9------| |---------10---| |------------9-| |--------------| |--------------| |--------------| Then just repeat the riffs above until the solo. I'm too lazy to tab the solo but it sounds like its just a bunch of short scalar runs around the 12th and 15th frets. you play the solo... then another chorus, then the solo again, and the opening riff and fade out.
