Hmmm. There are a few errors in this tab I think. Still Pinter has done a good job or tabbing out his intepretation of the song.
If the guitar is tuned a half step down, the solo becomes easier. In addition, the opening harmonics are tapped harmonics I am not sure this tab makes that too clear.
Also, the bit after the first tapped section, where it sounds tapped again, is in fact normally played notes along the 12, 15 and 19 frets (in tuned down half a step mode).Don't forget, Eddie has a reach up to the 22 fret from the 12 fret comfortably.
I think I will attempt to write my own ideas on this song in tab form.Watch this space or email me for it :)
I believe the whole song is tuned a half step down, so I wonder why do you have transcribed the solo the way you have, the song's key is E. Isn't it??
hey, could somebody tab the beginning of the song and the rest of it too? that would be awesome.
This tba is ok i fricken no the song prob better than ne uv u guyz i play it evryday. Im not obscessed... but i have the cd. Try again later!
Dude i can play this solo perfect and i have tabbed it out the perfect way so if ya want it E-mail me!(click on name)
as if ne of u can play exactly like eddie van halen. the bloke must of been drugged up to play that solo. I can play it but not exactly the same but close enough and it is in Eb tuning which is half a step down.
who the hell is the guitarist for this song is it slash? whoever it is is awsome
the guitarist is eddie van halen
This is for all yuo, kids taking care of music biz!
Remember the very guitarist, hard rocker and metal too, use to play the guitar tuned an half step down, for 3 symple reason:
1. It's help the singer during the execution.
2 It extend the guitar's lenght.
3. It's very dificcult to soloing on a song out of the POINTS, more if you're improvising on it.
Bye Bye and try it again, and again, and again.... dude.
This guitarist played this song when Slash was trying to go with the C cord (in 1° position)!!! It was the 82" or 83" when Michael calls the best Metal Guitar Player, on the scene, to play this very devasting solo...so he called Edward Van Halen, of the Van Halen brothers group, now you can tell Michael it can be all you want, but's not a stupid. Ah, the singer of Edye group was David Lee Roth..call it less then!!
SLASH IT'S NOT ABLE TO TAPPING (NEITHER IN THIS WAY)!!!
this is alright
This is awesome Still I think it's SLASH play this, SLASH is able to do this...:D
EDDIE VAN HALEN .... WAS
slash could not have done this he is not half the guitar player eddie van halen is
dude... this aint slash.slash was still popping zits when this song was recorded.it's eddie vanhalen.you can tell simply by the sound.geez how long u been playing anyway? need to work on your ear junior.
