===============================================================================

This song is some what hard and will take some skill to play the solo.  This is pretty accurate.  
Please Rate!!!!!

Intro:  This is very tricky!!!!  The "T" means tap for those who don't know and "H" is a hammer-on and "P" is a pull-off.

This part is played without a pick when David Lee Roth starts talking.  This repeats then goes to the verse.

Then on the second time through after the chorus do this instead of the pick slide
 These are natural harmonics which are played by slightly touching the string on the given fret number directly above the fret wire, if done right it should ring slightly

-after this play the part with a pick and follow through until the solo.-

 This solo is pretty hard. The hardest thing about it is, well just about everything.Keep it real by playing it slowy then when you develop speed you won't have to go back and try to fix some sloppy hammer-ons or anything like that. Practice hard, listen to the song, and be patient!!!!

And that's the solo!!!!  Not too bad once you get the hang of it.  Now as for the rest of the song it goes through the E major chords and the finger picking part then the chorus a couple times then there's this that he throws in there once in a while. I think it's an over-dub but it sounds like it's missing something without it so I'll put it in.
e|-----------------------|after you hear him do this a few times do some pick slides.
