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.
