Burning of the Midnight Lamp

Song

"The Burning of the Midnight Lamp"

Jimi Hendrix

Transcribed by James Holland

This is just the intro to the song off of Electric Ladyland. It's played with a wah-wah and a harpsichord.

Don't pay attention to the bars and I didn't make an attempt of timing so you'll have to listen to the

record to get it, but it's pretty easy anyway.
