Tabbing out almost a whole Van Halen tune certainly has been an experience. Look elsewhere for the solo. There's NO WAY I'm gonna try that one. There's harmonic tapping, pinch harmonics, regular tapping, bends, trem-bar vibrato, and all the other shit I can't really do. Basically, you're just gonna have to piece together what I've tabbed here and you'll get the basic idea. If you can't figure it out from this, you probably shouldn't be trying to play this song just yet. It ain't easy! Questions/Comments/Augmentations are MOST welcome (by email). Good Luck! Paul D.
