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.
