This is a complete tab for Van Halen's "Hear About it Later." Greg J. Musi
already did a great tab for the intro, so I just left his part as is, and
then
took over where he left off.

VERSE:
Lead guitar takes a break, while rhythm guitar plays:
(note: I'm not sure if the tap harmonics are really what he's doing, only
that
he does something of that nature to raise the octave of those
notes. Personally,
I just play the notes normally)

At this point, the rhythm guitar enters with Rhy. Fig 1 as the lead
continues. I think the rhythm guitar eventually goes up an octave,
but it's not that important.

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.
