OK...I like the tabs that they already have for this song...but i know an easier way to play the song and it sounds even better. I tried to send this once...maybe it'll go through this time. Artist: Van Halen Song: "Aint Talkin Bout Love" Album: Van Halen I, Best of Van Halen Volume 1 Key: ~~ = Vibrato b = Bend h = Hammer on (Example: 3h4 is hit the 3 fret and hammer on to the 4 fret) p = Pull off (Example 4p3 is hit the 4 fret and pull off to the 3 fret) H = Pinch Harmonic $ = Slap your palm on all the strings to mute the volume quickly and relase your palm from the strings right after. r = Let these strings ring. / \ = slide up or down B = bend this string and hold itthere to hit it a few more times ### = pick slide on the selceted strings Ok...first off, you're gonna need a distortion pedal, and amp, and an electric guitar (obviously...lol). You can chose how you want the distortion to sound , but i prefere a full, rich tone--almost a heavy metal feel. But you could go with a fatter sound, whatever you prefer. Tuning: Standard. INTRO: Distortion, palm-muted. REPEAT 4 times |---------0--------3-----------------| |-----1-----1--------3---------------| |-------2-----2-0------[0]-----------| |---2--------------------------------| |-0------------------------3H~~-2-3--| |----------------------[3]-----------| ^ | You can either hit the 3 fret on the E string or the other one (its optional, chose whichever you like best...) Then....

Clean. REPEAT 4 times |--------1---3---------------------| |----1-----1---3-------------------| |------2---------0r----------------| |--2-------------------------------| |-0-----------------------3~~-2-3--| |-----------------------0----------| Now comes this part where he uses natural harmonics and stuff....but since im really lazy im just gonna put an alternative to that: REPEAT TWICE |---------------------------| |---------------------------| |---------------------------| |-7-7--7x-7x-7x-5-5x-5x-5x--| |-7-7--5x-5x-5x-3-3x-3x-3x--| |-5-5--5x-5x-5x-3-3x-3x-3x--| I only made it seem like you hit the power chords plam muted 3 times, but actually you do it alot more, like 13 times or so....i lowered it for simplicity's sake. Listen to the song: You'll know when to change from 7|5|5 power chord to 5|3|3 power chord. CHORUS again (the same one you do at the very begining) SOLO again CHORUS again (the normal one this time) Repeat twice. then this part: REPEAT TWICE |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |----------------------------------| |----7-7-7-7/9-----7-7-7-7\5-------| |--7-7-7-7-7/9---7-7-7-7-7\5-------| |-5--5-5-5-5/7--5--5-5-5-5\3-------| Thats practically it. I usually add alot of other licks and change the solo up on my own, but this is basic. Well, i hope you have fun. this one should be easier than the rest. Enjoy! ~~~CASEY~~~
