Van Halen,1984
by dsale@jax.jaxnet.com
done with Bucket o'Tab (get it from nevada.edu)
ok im gonna start off after the tapped/fingerpicked little intro,where the
picking comes in.I did this just messing around and thought id upload it,if
you really need the intro that bad email me.
There is some bass notes in the song that make the chords sound different and
wouldnt sound right without them, so i added them as well.
/tremelo picking.

-----*4-----4--4--4-----4--4-----------4--------5-----| damn song.:)
i didnt add in that first fast lick thingee he does in between doing the
last part twice because i cant make out what notes he is doing by just
listening to it and i couldve slowed it down w/my computer but i havent got
around to it.anywayz,right before the verses is:
----t-----t------t---|
--/------------------| <-7th fret is bent up full step and then tapped in
7--(12)--(14)--(19)--| the frets in parenthesis.Like you didnt know that.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official VAN HALEN tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
