Skinned Blind Melon
Blind Melon
Skinned (song 4 off "Soup")
The rhythm is like:
V V V V
One and-uh, Two and-uh, Three and-uh, Four and-uh
The roots of the chords are played on the hard beats, except for the
Emin where the B note is played instead of the low E
I play it like:
[C]
E-----------------| B---------1---1---| G---------0---0---| D---------2---2---| A---3-------------| E-----------------|
One and-uh
down down-up
There is a chord towards the end I called C** which I don't know the
name of but the fingerings are:
C** G Emin E7 Amin C
E N 3 N N N N
B 1 3 0 3 1 1
G 0 0 0 1 2 0
D 0 0 2 2 2 2
A 2 2 2 2 0 3
E N 3 N 0 N N
The C** is the chord that is commonly used for transferrring a C chord
to the Amin chord. So play whatever you normally would for doing that.

Outro:
