Blues-Rock Lick At End Of "You Really Got Me" And "Show Your Love"
Source: Eddie Van Halen and some previous blues source(?)
Tabbed by Rich Kucera
slur (sler) vt. 1. pass over lightly 2. run together
Xb+1/4 == bend note X up a quarter-tone
This is all done in an E-minor blues pattern, perhaps
wrong, and maybe not everything is entirely accurate.
The following lick appears on Van Halen's 1st album
in the last chords of "You Really Got Me" and
"Show Your Love":
---------12-----------------------------12-----------------
----/12------15b17b15p12------12h15p12------12h15p12-------
--------------------------14--------------------------14---
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
-------------12--------------------------------------------
---12h15p12-----12h15p12------12---------------------------
--------------------------14------15p14p12------14---------
--------------------------------------------14------14-----
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
----11h12p11--------11-------------------------------------
---------------14-------12h14------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
PAUSE.
"You Really Got Me" proceeds as follows:
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
----11h12p11------11---------------------------------------
--------------14------12h14---11h12p11------11-------------
----------------------------------------14------12h14\12---
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
---------------------2-------------------------------------
----\10---\7---/9----0-------------------------------------
and, from the PAUSE, "Show Your Love" proceeds
*something* like:
------------------------12h14p12----12--------------------------
--------------12h14h15-----------15----14h15p14p12h14p12----12--
----11h12h14---------------------------------------------14-----
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
---14p12h14p12-\11h12p11-\9h11p9-\7h9p7-\5h7p5-\4h5p4p0~---
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
EVH's lick can be added as a slur
on another blues lick:
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----15p12------12-----------------------------------------
-----------h14------12------------------12b+1/4------------
-----------------------h14---14----------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
Here's the lick with the EVH lick incorporated:
--------------12-------------------------------------------
----12h15p12------12h15p12------12-------------------------
---------------------------h14------12--------------12b+1/4
----------------------------------------h14--14------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------
Slur and stay relaxed.
Enjoy!

I really need some feedback on this song. I have been playing this song for almost thirty years and I have just been told that I am playing the intro wrong. It seems to me on the first four bars (guitar only), the timing is 4/4, on the fifth bar their is a fraction of a delay,in timing,(that I've always played), when the drums and bass come in. If this is an error on V.H. original recording, I would like to know.
