Van Halen hot for teacher.
Tabbed by ryan mullan ryan_mullan@hotmail.com.
what i think is the best song from the fantastic album 1984, and a great example of a trademark EVH solo.
enjoy
P.S if you dont have the song this will be very difficult, go buy it!
Key:
+ = tapped note
X\\ = pick slide
x = hit string for percussive noise
^ = hammer/pull
/ = slide
~ = vibrato
w~ = whammy vibrato
<> = natural harmonic
/// = high-speed picking
---
Intro:
(I've deliberately left out hammer/pull notation because they are too
obtrusive in such numbers. I've given an example of what to do)
