Van Halen - Show Your Love Tab

Blues-Rock Lick At End Of "You Really Got Me" And "Show Your Love"

Source:  Eddie Van Halen and some previous blues source(?)

slur (sler) vt. 1. pass over lightly  2. run together

Xb+1/4 == bend note X up a quarter-tone

This is all done in an E-minor blues pattern,  perhaps
wrong,  and maybe not everything is entirely accurate.

The following lick appears on Van Halen's 1st album
in the last chords of "You Really Got Me" and
"Show Your Love":

PAUSE.

"You Really Got Me" proceeds as follows:

                                        14      12h14\12   


  
                                                           
  
                                                           
  
                                                           
  
                                                           
  
                     2

EVH's lick can be added as a slur
on another blues lick:

  
                                                           
  
     15p12      12                                         
  
           h14      12                  12b+1/4            
  
                       h14   14                            
  
                                                           
  
                                                           

Here's the lick with the EVH lick incorporated:

  
              12                                            
  
    12h15p12      12h15p12      12                          
  
                           h14      12              12b+1/4 
  
                                        h14  14             
  
                                                            
  
                                                            

Slur and stay relaxed.

Enjoy!
