------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beat It - Michael Jackson ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by:avsHRSHES E-mail: This is a way to play the Beat It solo that differs slightly from the original, but retains the same attitude. Th:tapped harmonic and Fb: full step bend. Follow the directions in parentheses for the whammy bar stuff is. The third bar is a way to play the massive stretch legato in an easier way. Hope this helps you guys out, leave questions in the comments! Tuning: Half step down e|------------------------------------------------------t15p10h14t15p14p12p10| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-0(bar dive and release)h2fb-2fb~/7(th14)/9(th14)~/12----------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|-h14t15p14p12p10h14t15p14p12p10--------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------h14t15p14p12p10h14t15p14p12p10-12hbrb~------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|------14-12-t19p15p12h14--------12-14---------12-14------------------------| B|-12h15------------------15p12h15-----15p12p15------15p12---------15fbrbp12-| G|--------------------------------------------------------14fbrbp12----------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-h15t17/(slide with tapping finger to neck pickups and pull off)-----------| G|----------------------------------------------------------------14fbrbp12--| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------0h5(bar dip)p3p0--| G|-p0(bar dive and release)9fbrbp7h9(two bar flutters)p7~/-------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|----------------------------------------------12----------15fbprb12--------| B|-h5(bar dip)p3p0h5(bar dip)p3p0h5p3p0------------15fbrbp12-----------------| G|--------------------------------------2fbph~-/13---------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|-------------------------t15p8h12--------t15p8h12--------t15p8h12----------| B|-----------------t15p8h12--------t15p8h12--------t15p8h12--------t15p8h12--| G|-14fbrbp12-14~/------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| e|-t15p8h12-t17p10t17p10t17p10~p0-12------1212121212-1414141414-15151515-----| B|---------------------------------15fb17~-----------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| e-17171717-19191919-20202020-20fb20fb20fb20fb20fb-20fb~----------------------| B----------------------------------------------------------------------------| G------------------------------------------------------19/(slow slide down)--| D----------------------------------------------------------------------------| A----------------------------------------------------------------------------| E----------------------------------------------------------------------------| ************************************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note | b Bend | pb Pre-bend | br Bend release | pbr Pre-bend release | brb Bend release bend ************************************
