TABLATURE:
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!
