Subject: TAB: "Right Now" - Van Halen (piano arr. for guitar)

Here are some parts of "Right Now" that have been arranged for guitar (basically the

first part of the song).

It is a good idea to put a capo on the fifth fret, but I tabbed then without a capo

(fifth fret means open string with the capo).

Here is the intro. When applied to piano, it sounds just like the CD:

e--------5-----8-----10-----8---5---- Play this over and over again and

B--8--------------------------------- VERY fast...

G----7-----7-----7------7-----7---7--

D------5-----5-----5------5----------

A------------------------------------

E------------------------------------

Then the cymbals kick in. I don't know the exact name of some of the chords with

additions, so I just put the root chord above each measure.

A G F
