Sadley underrated band, their biggest hit gave them an audience of pop fans but thats not who they were. Listen to the Soup album, its genius. Great lesson.

[@adambrunner9462]

Couldn't agree more. They are as good as any 90's band was. A mix of grunge and jam band really... Love me some Blind Melon!

[@rjtheoret]

It's awesome to see a guitar lesson for a Blind Melon song that isn't Change or No Rain. They have so many amazing tracks.

[@DrSimSauve]

Yes! That entire 1st album is amazing. That lesson is a big one, so much work and acknowledgment of the music quality of Blind Melon . Thank you Matt.

[@LetsPlayAll]

My pleasure mate!

[@4967eljefe]

Really like the first album but soup is where they really hit their stride . Love to see 2X4 or a wilt lesson.

[@jamesdean8022]

Yessssss...finally, BM gets some love❤

[@LetsPlayAll]

Enjoy! This ones a mammoth one!

[@jcrbama]

Your uploads always seem to be songs that I've long liked. Had the good fortune to meet the guys in Blind Melon back in the late 90's, my college roommate was from the same hometown in Mississippi as a few of the guys and were friends. Great guys and much more talented and skilled than they get credit for.

[@LetsPlayAll]

Thanks mate glad you're enjoying them, cool story!!

[@jasong546]

That song, it still hits me. Represents a very crazy but often beautiful time of my life living in Northern California after 2 years in Germany. Just really grabs me.

[@JP-ij6oz]

Epic tune from the debut ! The 2nd album "Soup" has some of the best 2 guitar playing recorded. Thanks for this one 😊

[@LetsPlayAll]

More to come 😀🤘

[@MrThebuuu1]

Blind melon, the must underrated band of the World, 😢.

[@theroadhomefromwrestling1788]

One of the best guitar duo in the 90s. I love how each part sounds great alone and even greater together.

[@GyzelE]

Dude, i tried to learn this by ear several years ago, but never had the ability of figure this out!! (Ultimate-Guitar, other tab sites, KZbin, etc. did not have an accurate tab). But when you demonstrated the intro solo, i actually started to figure out the next guitar part from memory!! 🤯 Thank you for this! Now I'll finally be able to play my favorite Blind Melon song!!!

[@LetsPlayAll]

Awesome 🤘😊

[@AHewett]

YES! blind melon's guitar work is sooo cool! glad to see chris and roger recognized!

[@LetsPlayAll]

Thanks Adam, enjoy! :-)

[@berttorpson2592]

Never heard the song but Blind Melon is a blessing

[@quickwateroutdoors7301]

Great lesson. Rogers and Christopher one of the best two guitar duos in rock

[@LetsPlayAll]

thanks mate!

[@jannetunturi]

Blind Melon has been in my life for a long time, but now after picking the guitar up I've listened the songs a bit differently. So glad that you made this and hopefully more Blind Melon to come. Toes Acroos The Floor sounds like a fun song to play. ;-)

[@LetsPlayAll]

You’re welcome mate, couldn’t believe how much tab there was for this haha

[@jannetunturi]

@@LetsPlayAll Yeah, I saw that and was like ok.... 😀 Listened the 2 albums going to and coming from a party this weekend. Again realized more than I have before.

[@Handyandy747]

Very underrated band and album. Great lessons mate.

[@LetsPlayAll]

My pleasure and thanks so much for the kind words, much appreciated!

[@thirtytendesign2926]

My 2nd fave band after Nirvaner!! Absolutely amazing job and choice!!!🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘🤩🤩🥰🥰💚🖤💚🍻🍻 Could you PLEEEEEASEEEE do ST.ANDREWS FALL and LETTERS FROM THE PORCUPINE!?!? Pleeease and thank you!!!🤘🎸🤘🤩🤩💚🖤 They're 2 songs I constantly try to take but after my accident! (Ran over bgg y a Ford F250) I can sit and slave over my guitar like I used to (play 9 hours a day) It's like an hour or 2 before my back is blasting me! Sucks soooo bad! It's a miracle I'm alive and can think "wow... being crippled sucks!" It was gnarly! Working and doing things I LOVED are no go's now!!💔💔💔💔💔😞😞😞

[@LetsPlayAll]

Mate so sorry to hear about your accident but thankfully you’re still with us! Lots more Blind Melon to come so stay tuned. Hope you enjoyed this one! 🤘😊

[@xx7secondsxx]

Thank you my B!!! Getting a 4pack (16oz cans) of Steel Reserves helps my back enough to where I can physically play. A puff of some motá helps as well!!! Get my body right and my brain falls in tow and then watching these vids makes me pick up my guieetar! And a few strums and I'm "wholly JEEBUS!!! New song!" Being a touing musician changed playing for me a a hobby. It's like being a chef, cooking great while ur having a drink! Lmado! It gets ur brain letters flowing differently! Thank you again my B! For the nice comment and then for ur art!🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘🍻🍻😎✊✊

Thanks mate! UK luthier called Karl Longbottom :-) karllongbottomguitars.com/Fulvia/

[@emrahu1327]

Matt, which guitar picks do you use (for strummings and for solos)?

[@LetsPlayAll]

Mixture tbh, usually Jazz 3 picks, I’m loving the Jim Root picks too, also always have a NHC pick in my pocket. Always! They’re tortex but a fairly light gauge

[@emrahu1327]

@@LetsPlayAll how many mm? For example i use Tortex Flow 1.14 and i think it is great😃 and Jazz III is good but really small to me.

[@LetsPlayAll]

@@emrahu1327 the James root ones are like jazz 3. It bigger with a nicer grip!

[@brianmcgrath6349]

👍 Fuckin A🤘✌️

these boys had real chops and were so tight that it's basically impossible to play 'their' music right .....

Nobody here really understands me
