VAN HALEN - ON FIRE (SOLO) ALBUM - VAN HALEN I [Tabbed by Joe Thibeault] [contact me at: jrthib@myeastern.com] The easiest way to memorize this solo is to memorize it in 2 parts just like i have divided it here. The rest is pretty simple. There is some jumping around but its just triplets. I suggest you use legato instead of picking each individual note (except for on the palm muting part). Listen to the recording for timing. E-mail me for any questions. GOOD LUCK! PART 1 P.M.................
