Hello all,

I'm new to writing tabs, and some of this formatting is probably non-standard. However, some of the symbols I'm using represent what I hear and what's going on in my brain. Please message me for formatting recommendations or corrections.

This tab is a recreation of the two solo verses in "Walk" by Blind Melon, featured on the album Soup. 

To *roughly* estimate tempo, I've typed single, double and triple spaces to represent short vs long notes. Many of the 6 draw bends (-61/2') actually are draw bends that quickly fade to unbent 6 draws. The exception is in the last line of the second solo, where he really leans into and holds those 6 draw bends.

I've also recreated this tab on a C harp, but you lose some of that bent goodness, since the E note (5 blow on C) can't be bent like the 6 draw on a G harp. 

 

Solo 1:

7   -8   7 -6 7 -6 7 -6  

{-6 -5} x 12     {Varied tempo}

-9 8 -9   -9 8 -9

7 -8 7 -8 7 -6 -8 7 -8 7 -8 7 -6 -8 7 -8 7 -10 9 -9 -9

-61/2' -61/2' -5   -61/2' -61/2'  -5 

 

Solo 2:

 7 -8 7 -8 7›6 -61/2' -61/2' -5

 7 -8 7 -8 7›6 -61/2' -61/2' -5

 7 -8 7 -8 7›6 -61/2' -61/2'›-6'  -6›-6' -5
