Hi, I was just screwing around with my guitar and I came up with an
alternate intro to blind melon's "no rain" that's not in the archive.
This one's a little more full and folky, if you like that sort of thing.
Also, this is the first time I've tried to write in rhythm. bear with
me here. The measures are kind of accurate; the spacing of the notes
isn't.)
kapo the scond fret. Notation is relative to the kapo (a 3 is really a 5
and such...)
