Hot for Teacher Van Halen
Subject: TAB: Hot For Teacher - Van Halen<br/> <br/> Posted by: ()<br/> <br/> It'd be hard to put it all, but ill put a few parts of it that are cool...<br/> <br/> Intro:<br/> <br/> A string: -0-3-7-12-7-3- (four x) -0-5-9-12-9-5- (four x)<br/> <br/> - play the indicated patterns tapping on the A string: use the 1st<br/> and 4th fingers for the notes on frets 3 & 7 and 5 & 9 and tap the<br/> note on the 12th fret with the right hand finger....<br/> <br/> Play same exact pattern as before on the D string but end with the tapped note<br/> (youll have to listen to it to get the jist...)<br/> <br/> G str: -0-3-7-12-7-3-0-3-7-12-7-3-0-5-9-12-9-5-0-5-9-12-9-5- (two times but<br/> end with the last tapped note --------------------^<br/> - again, tap the notes on the 12th fret..<br/> <br/> high E -12-7-12-8-7-12-5-<br/> B: -12-8-7-5-<br/> G: -12-8-7-5-<br/> D: -12-8-7-5-<br/> A: -12-8-7-5-<br/> this lick is a fretboard pattern that is the same on each string down the<br/> neck.. tap the notes on the 12th fret and pull off the rest.. work your way<br/> from the high E string down to the A string..<br/> <br/> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/> -2----5-4----5-4----2\1-2------10-7-4----1-2-1/2----5-4--5-4-2\1------------2-<br/> -2----5-4----5-4----2\1-2------10-7-4----1-2-1/2----5-4--5-4-2\1--2-2-2-2-2-2-<br/> ------------------------------------------------------------------2-2-2-2-2-0-<br/> -2-----------------------2----------------------2-----------------0-0-0-0-0---<br/> <br/> listen to it for tempo... at each f# played on the low E string, play it in<br/> eighth notes until the next chord.... the \ denotes a slide.... this carries<br/> you into the main theme to the song which is based on the A chord .....dont<br/> have time to put it in but see if u can figure it out... it uses pulloffs<br/> at the 5th fret of G str first time and pull offs from 3rd fret to open on the<br/> A str when it kicks in.... have fun..
