Respect The Wind

Written by Eddie and Alex Van Halen

Performed By Eddie and Alex Van Halen

This song is an instrumental one and my favorite together with 316....it

comes in the "Twister" soundtrack ...this song has too much

feeling....it took me quite a while to get it tabbed.......I might of

missed a few notes....or a few squeals.....but I tried to tab it as

accurate as possible........just listen to the song and get the feeling

with which Eddie plays the song...........I hope this is of some help

for someone........ok then.....here goes the tablature explanation......

Hope you have enjoyed this song as much as I did....... it will sound

better (in my case) if an equalizer is used and a guitar with relly good

pick-ups to get those really high pitches......that?s it for todays Van

Halen lesson......

If the notes aren?t correct....at least they will give you a pretty good

idea.......any comments suggestions, corrections,

blah..blah.blah.....you can contact me at...... al639920@mail.ur.mx....z

ya!
