Van Halen - I'm the one
from the album Van Halen
h = hammer on w\ =dive whammy bar (wb)
p = pull off w\/ =dive wb and pull up
/ = slide up 7b(9) = bend full step
\ = slide down 7b(9)r(7) = bend full step and release
~ = vibrato T = tab with right hand
{harm.} = play natural harmonics
{A.H.} = play artificial harmonics (with thumb and pick)
general advise for playing Ed's songs: pick, hammer on and pull off as hard
as you can!
effects used: MXR Phase 90
If you think there's something to improve feel free to do so, I'll be happy
to learn about it!
BTW, what is this song about!? was Dave drunk when he wrote the lyrics? :)
