Subject: TAB: Come On by Jimi Hendrix
Here is an accurate tab for Come on (part 1) by Earl King as
performed by Jimi Hendrix on the Electric Ladyland album. I'm not
tabbing out the solos, they are best imporvised in E blues pentatonic
mostly at the twelfth fret. In addition to distortion, you'll need a wah
to get a sound something like what Hendrix did during the first solo and
here and there in the second solo.
