316 Van Halen
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since I've gotten so much tab from nevada and alt.guitar.tab in the last few weeks, I thought I'd return the favor to everyone and post one of mine. I was surprised how easy it was to transcribe to the computer, so you may see more from me in the future! Anyway, this is a really pretty song called _316_ (after the Van Halens' kid's birthday) from the album _For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge_. It's a very simple song, just watch your timing and really nail those harmonics at the end!!

(pdmytrewycz@music.transy.edu) This is a fairly straight-forward piece. I think the chords are just A, Bm7, C#m7, and E. But they aren't strummed so it doesn't matter. :D The little hammer-on/pull-off bit during the repeat of the first bit is done between the A chord (--222-) and the Bm7 (--423-) Fingerpicked... ||--------------------|-----------------|-----------------| ||--------2-3---3/5-2-|-------2-3-3/5-2-|-------2-3-3/5-2-| ||*-----2---2---2/4-2-|-----2---2-2/4-2-|-----2---2-2/4-2-| ||*---2-----4---4/6-2-|---2-----4-4/6-2-|---2-----4-4/6-2-| ||--0---------0-------|-0---------------|-0---------------| ||--------------------|-----------------|-----------------| repeat ----------------|-----------------|--------------------------|| ------2-3---2-0-|-------0-0---2---|--------------------------|| ----2---2---2-1-|-----1---1---1-2-|-----2-----------0-----2-*|| --2-----4---2-2-|---2-----2---2-0-|---0-----------0-------2-*|| 0---------0-----|-0---------0-----|-----------------------0--|| ----------------|---------------2-|-2-----2-(2)/3-----2-0----|| ----------------|---------------|---------------| ------2-3-3/5-2-|-------2-3-2-0-|-------0-0-2---| ----2---2-2/4-2-|-----2---2-2-1-|-----1---1-1-2-| --2-----4-4/6-2-|---2-----4-2-2-|---2-----2-2-0-| 0---------------|-0-------------|-0-------------| ----------------|---------------|-------------2-| ------------------------ ||--------------------|----------| ------------------------ ||--------2-3---3/5-2-|----------| ----2-----------0-----2- ||*-----2---2---2/4-2-|---0-0~~~-| --0-----------0-------2- ||*---2-----4---4/6-2-|---2-2~~~-| ----------------------0- ||--0---------0-------|-0--------| 2-----2-(2)/3-----2-0--- ||--------------------|----------| repeat -------------------|--------------|-------------|| -----------------| -------------------|--------------|-------------|| -------2-3-3/5-2-| ------------5-5~~~-|-------5-5~~~-|-------2~~~-*|| -----2---2-2/4-2-| ------------4-4~~~-|-------3-3~~~-|-------2~~~-*|| ---2-----4-4/6-2-| 0-0-0-0---0--------|-0---0--------|-0-3-3-0~~~--|| -0---------------| -------------------|--------------|-------------|| -----------------| ----------------|-----------------|-------------------------|| ------2-3---2-0-|-------0-0---2---|-------------------------|| ----2---2---2-1-|-----1---1---1-2-|-----2-----------0-----2-|| --2-----4---2-2-|---2-----2---2-0-|---0-----------0-------2-|| 0---------0-----|-0---------0-----|-----------------------0-|| ----------------|---------------2-|-2-----2-(2)/3-----2-0---|| The last bit is done by fingering an Asus2 chord (-02200) and tapping the octaves of the fingered notes. The fingering is shown here with the tapped harmonics in parentheses. You gotta QUICKLY TAP RIGHT ON THE FRET indicated in parentheses to get the harmonic to sound right. ------------------------------0(12)-|| ------------------0(12)-------------|| ------2(14)-------------2(14)-------|| ------------2(14)-------------------|| 0(12)-------------------------------|| ------------------------------------||
