a--------------------------------------------------------------------| e--------------------------------------------------------------------| Hope you have enjoyed this song as much as I did....... it will sound better (in my case) if an equalizer is used and a guitar with relly good pick-ups to get those really high pitches......that?s it for todays Van Halen lesson...... If the notes aren?t correct....at least they will give you a pretty good idea.......any comments suggestions, corrections, blah..blah.blah.....you can contact me at...... al639920@mail.ur.mx....z ya!
