"Dirty Movies"
By Van Halen (from Fair Warning)
Tabbed by Aaron Goldman
aaronlg@hotmail.com

I noticed there was no tab to be found for this song, and since it's one
of my favorite VH album tracks, I decided to figure it out. As always,
this is by my own ears, so its not gonna be perfect. Note that the song is
in drop D, and then on top of that it's tuned down half a step. There are
two guitars in this song, referred to throughout as rhythm and lead.

INTRO: its just bass and drums at first, and then Eddie start drumming a
bunch of random notes up and down the fretboard (too hard to transcribe,
and its just random noise anyway). This part is easier to simulate than
you might think. After that subsides, the lead guitar plays this:

E|---------------------------------------------------------
B|-------------------------------------10---10---10b-10----
G|-7\6~-/7-6-7-/9~-6-7-6----------7/9-----9----9--------9--
D|-----------------------7-5-5br---------------------------
A|---------------------------------------------------------
D|---------------------------------------------------------
The next two lines are played together. They aren't precisely aligned in
the tab. The top guitar is rhythm, the bottom lead.
E|--------------------------------------------
B|--------------------------------------------
G|--------------------------------------------
D|--------------------------------------------
A|------------------------------3-2-1-0-------
D|--------------------------------------3-2-1-

E|----------------------------------------19b-

G|--------------------------------------------
D|--------------------------------------------
A|--------------------------------------------
D|--------------------------------------------

CHORUS RIFF:

The following rhythm guitar part is reused several times later on.
Occasionally, a few of the notes on the low D-string are replaced with
a series of scraping noises, produced with the picking hand. I don't know
how to explain it, but Eddie does the same thing on "Unchained" and the
beginning of "And the Cradle Will Rock."
