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.

                          ^^Repeat this twice,then third time add in:

-----*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:

----t-----t------t---|
--/------------------| <-7th fret is bent up full step and then tapped in
7--(12)--(14)--(19)--|   the frets in parenthesis.Like you didnt know that.
---------------------|
---------------------|   now the verses.
---------------------|

----4-----2-----4--5-----2------4-2--5--5-3--|

and thats pretty much what makes up the verses.Next is the little ditty in-
between the verses and chorus,and the harmonics that is in the chorus.
