BLIND MELON - "st andrews fall" Tablature
Official BLIND MELON Tablature & Sheet Music »
Blind Melon - St. Andrew’s Fall (Hall)
Tabbed by DSM
This is but one of the many amazing songs by Blind Melon (RIP Shannon).
I frequent this site often, and have noticed that a lot of great songs
are not yet posted. If anyone out there knows “Mother” a.k.a. “Mother
Earth,” or an accurate version of “Soul One,” please post them. There’s
some interesting lead riffs in this song that I didn‘t take the time
to include. This is just Shannon‘s acoustic part (sounds good with
one guitar). Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this tab…listen to the
album for exact strum, timing, etc…

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BLIND MELON tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
