Push the wammy bar one step down whenever your finger goes over the 5, 7 , and 8. You only pick the string once and slide your finger all the way to the 12s. 1 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .5VVVVVVVVVVV e|---------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------| G|-5b----{14}-{12}-{14}-{12}-{14}-{12}~~~~~~~~-------| D|---------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------| This part may look confusing. Pick the 5th fret on the G string, and bend it one whole step up. While holding the 5th fret bend up, easily tap the 14 and 12th fret to produce a tapped harmonic. Keep the 5th fret bend a whole step until the .5vvvvvvvvv part. the .5vvvvvv part means you drop the 5th fret whole step bend, down to a half step bend, while still tapping easily the 14 and 12 fret. .5 1 .5 1 1 .5 e|---------------17-----------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-17b---(17)b-------17b----17b~~~~~\13-----10h13p10w--h13p10------------------10---------| G|------------------------------------------------------------12b---(12)p10-------10~~~~~-| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------12------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| T T T T T T T T T .5 1 e|----------15p10h13----------15p10h13--15/13p12p10h13-15/20p13p12-15/20p13p12p10----------------------------------------| B|-15p10h13----------15p10h13-----------------------------------------------------13--15\--13b--10-----------------10----| G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------12b--(12)p10------10~| D|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1 1 1 1 e|-----------------------------------------------------------15----------15-18b--15--18p15-22b-| B|--------------------------------------------------------------18b--18b-----------------------| G|--------------------5---7--/8--7--8h/12----12~~~~~-----/16-----------------------------------| D|----------------5----------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-3!---5!---5h6-------------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2nd Guitar Solo e|---------------------------------------------------------------12----------------------| B|-------13-13h/15--10h/15~~~~--13----13~~~-------13-13h15--15~~----13~~~-12~~~--12~~~\6-| G|----12---------------------------------------14----------------------------------------| D|-10---------------------------------------15-------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| T T T T T T T T T T T T e|--------10--12h/13--13p5h8-13p5h8-13p5h8-13p5h8-15p5h8-15p5h8-15p5h8-15p12p8-12p3h8-12p3h8-12p3h8-12p3h8p3-| B|-----13----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-/12-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1 1 1 1 e|------------15-------15------15-------15--18b-----| B|-15/--6/-------18b------18b------18b--------------| G|--------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------| +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Outro Solo: e|------------------------------------------------------12-----------------| B|-18/15~~~~~~~--13----13~~~~~~--------13-13h15--15~~~~----13---12--12~~~~-| G|----------------------------------14-------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------15----------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1^^^^^^ 1^^^^^^^^ 1 e|---------------20!---20/22--22b--22--22~~~~~~~~~~~----22b----20--22~~~~~~~~| B|-18b-18-18!----------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| Hold the whole step bend while picking the 18s, and the tremelo picked 18. Also, hold the whole step bend on the 22s. Basically, hold the bend for the ^^^^^^^^^^s. There you have it. It's one of the top solos made by Eddie Van Halen. Rate it and comment it. [travis]
