Episode Synopsis


By popular demand I have decided to write how to play the songs I have played in my podcasts and in my videocast.
Ok first off heres the TABs for Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix.

THEN (strum once for each * and for the chord letter itself for
example E ** would mean strum the E chord 2 times)

do this for the rest of the song
