Blind Man by Black Stone Cherry

Tuning:

Down ½ step and then drop D (Db, Ab, Db, Gb)

NOTES:

There are some great riffs in this song for the verse and then it settles into something a little more traditional for the chorus. This is one of those tracks where everything is mixed louder than everything else so some parts are difficult to hear when transcribing it. The unison parts just before the solo are especially buried in the mix and when playing it live I used to just play 8ths on the low D. The bass player seems to be following the guitar lines on the first 4 bars so I have tried to write down what I think is happening. I use pull-offs and hammer-ons and open strings eg./ for bar 70 I play fret 7 on the G string, pull off to 5th fret and then the open string. Next, fret 2 on the G, fret 3 on the D, pull off to open string, Fret 3 on the A string and hammer on to the 5th - or play the D open string giving you time to move back up to the 7th fret G string for the repeat. If you know better.... let me know!
