Hot For Teacher
Van Halen
This song absolutely rocks! It is pretty hard but if you can
Play it, it sounds awsome, the solo is crazy, but if you can learn
It you can really impress your friends. This tab is in standard
Tuning but it sounds good a half step down too.
ENJOY.
I am going to leave out the hamerons and pullofs,
Because they are obviouse and look confusing in
Large amounts. Do a pickslide at the start of this.

Play a couple of times until the big solo.
SOLO
Don’t be surprised if you cant play this, its pretty hard.
Don’t just look at it and stop though, actually try, then
After a little while if you cant play it, just skip it or add your
Own solo.
GOOD LUCK!

More Fast picking
Well if you can learn that it should sound pretty good,
Remember the outro is all tremolo or fast picking.
(except the slide down from the 18’s)
