Subject: v/van_halen/girl_gone_bad.tab Girl Gone Bad Van Halen (from 1984) To avoid wasting vast amounts of space, entire sections are labeled as being tap harmonics rather than notating the harmonics for each note. For every note in these sections, hold down the tabbed fret, and then tap exactly 12 frets above to sound the harmonic. It's a very tough song, so good luck, and send feedback to aaronlg@hotmail.com *7* = artificial harmonic <7> = natural harmonic # = note(s) beneath this symbol are tremelo picked T = note beneath is tapped INTRO PART 1: **all tap harmonics** E|-------0-----------------0------- B|-----1---1-------------0---1----- G|---2-------2---------2-------2--- D|-3-----------3-----2-------------
