The Purple Dancer
Fleetwood Mac
The Purple Dancer This version is taken from the Crazy about the blues CD which is a live radio recording there are 2 guitars being played the slide I think is in open E & the other guitar in standard tuning I have simplified my version to standard tuning & just higlighted the chords & main riffs listen to the CD to get the correct feel which I cannot get just using the Tab I love the purple dancer Dancing in the space of... time She can surely know the answer Standing in the steps of... mine (1st Inst break slide to the notes)
