Girl Gone Bad
Van Halen (from 1984)
To avoid wasting vast amounts of space, entire sections are labeled as being tap
harmonics
rather than notating the harmonics for each note. For every note in these
sections, hold down the tabbed fret, and then tap exactly 12 frets above
to sound
the harmonic. It's a very tough song, so good luck, and send feedback to
aaronlg@hotmail.com
*7* = artificial harmonic
<7> = natural harmonic
# = note(s) beneath this symbol are tremelo picked
T = note beneath is tapped
