GIRL GONE BAD

Van Halen,1984

by dsale@jax.jaxnet.com

done with Bucket o'Tab (get it from nevada.edu)

ok im gonna start off after the tapped/fingerpicked little intro,where the

picking comes in.I did this just messing around and thought id upload it,if

you really need the intro that bad email me.

There is some bass notes in the song that make the chords sound different and

wouldnt sound right without them, so i added them as well.

/tremelo picking.

-----*4-----4--4--4-----4--4-----------4--------5-----| damn song.:)

i didnt add in that first fast lick thingee he does in between doing the

last part twice because i cant make out what notes he is doing by just

listening to it and i couldve slowed it down w/my computer but i havent got

around to it.anywayz,right before the verses is:
