Time To Kill
Deep Purple
Here's a first draft of one of the songs from the new album - rather poppy which
means the main riff isn't particularly difficult. Mostly perfect fourths in
typical Blackmore fashion. I haven't worked out the solo or the bits over the
verse because there's lots going on and I couldn't be bothered
If anyone works out anymore, please send me the details and I'll incorporate it
into a master version.
