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