                Deep Purple , Perpendicular

Well I really like the new Purple album , Perpendicular , there's
some great guitar playing there and some really good songs to. I
saw the live show in Newcastle , I think it was. Anyway it was really
great Steve Morse played wonderfully though as I havn't seen any other
DP shows and so I would have liked to see Richie Blackmore there playing ,
who must be one of the best rock guitarists alive , apart from
Jimmy Page that it  , anyway hope you like it!

And that's all I can be bothered to transcribe, the rest should be
quite easy if you sit and work it out. This is one of the first
transcriptions i've done by trying to figure a song out myself
so please excuse all the wrong notes and chords and things!
Anyway I hope its some use to someone , please if you have any
updates for this , bits you spot are incorrect then let me know
and let me know what you think in general, okay then until next
month bye for now!
