With your left hand, fret each note, but do not pick it. Instead, play a tapped harmonic (tap firmly on the fret indicated) on the higher section. It will all come together with a little practice. If you need any ideas on how to perform this or how to position your finger for those freaky harmonics, go to www.van-halen.com and look at the video to see how the incredible Eddie does it himself Order: Intro* Verse* Pre Chorus Chorus* Verse* Pre Chorus Chorus* Bridge Solo Outro* * These parts are basically the same with small variations. Well, good luck! This all sounds right to me, but if you think something is wrong...just add a comment or something, but I'm very sure I did this right!
