This is the first part of "Can't Stop Loving You" by Van Halen from
what I can figure out. It isn't much but when it's repeated
with a little improvising it covers most of the song. Enjoy.

Comments and suggestions are always welcome...
Here is a cool Van Halen song. All I know is the main
riff and the solo which is surprisingly easy for an
Eddie solo. Anyways here is Cant stop loving you.
Verse:
     ---0------------------|-----------------------|
     ---3---3---2---0---2--|---10---10^---9--10--10|
     ---2---2---2---2---2--|-----------------------|
     ---2---2---2---2---2--|-----------------------|
     ---0------------------|-----------------------|
     ----------------------|-----------------------|

Also on the verse a second guitarist strums the second fret
on the top E string(thickest), or you can use your thumb
as Eddie does.
Solo:
     ------------------------------------------|----------
     ---8---7\5----5---5\8----8/10---10\8\7\5--|----------
     ------------------------------------------|----------
     ------------------------------------------|----------
     ------------------------------------------|----------
     ------------------------------------------|----------
     ---------------------------|------------------------|
     ---------------------------|------------------------|
     -------------------5\7\9---|-----4------------------|
     -----------5\7\9-----------|--4----5------2-------2-|
     ---5\7\9-------------------|--5------5----2-----2---|
     ---------------------------|--5-----------3---3-----|
     --0----|---------------------------------|-----------
     --0----|---------------------------------|-----------
     --2----|---7/9----7---6------------------|-----------
     --2----|------------------7--------------|-----------
     --0----|----------------------7---5---4--|-----------
     -------|---------------------------------|-----------

This is almost the whole solo. I changed it to Eddie's
live version. So it is a bit easier than the Cd.
It'll do anyways. Good Luck
