Hi Tom,

You did a good job on Purple Haze. But, you looked like you were having way too much fun doing it. : ) I was really shocked to see how simple the lead was. I am looking forward to wrapping this one up. Thanks for doing this song. I've wanted to learn this one for a long time and have learned parts of it by ear over the years; but, since your lessons, it is going to be over before I know it.

Recently I bought a Marshall JMD:1 head, which made it easy to match the sound needed for Purple Haze. I used your suggested settings, flipped through the amps types, and there it was. Thanks.

It is funny how I can listen to a song and it sounds great, almost like magic, a song just like Purple Haze, then when I learn to play it, it's like, "Oh..." and it kind of looses some of the magic when you know it's secrets. But I guess to others, it still sounds like magic. Yet, it's always fun to play.

Thanks again for everything. I'm really enjoy your lessons.
