        Pur - ple Haze...                                   fade out


=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

 Ok, that's it for Purple Haze. Hope you enjoy it! The solo is pretty cool and very weird. It's in E Dorian and
is very jazzy. Good song to improve yourself with others. Good for jamming too!

                  later...
