Tabbed by Rich Kucera slur (sler) vt. 1. pass over lightly 2. run together Xb+1/4 == bend note X up a quarter-tone This is all done in an E-minor blues pattern, perhaps wrong, and maybe not everything is entirely accurate. The following lick appears on Van Halen's 1st album in the last chords of "You Really Got Me" and "Show Your Love": ---------12-----------------------------12----------------- ----/12------15b17b15p12------12h15p12------12h15p12------- --------------------------14--------------------------14--- ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- -------------12-------------------------------------------- ---12h15p12-----12h15p12------12--------------------------- --------------------------14------15p14p12------14--------- --------------------------------------------14------14----- ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- ----11h12p11--------11------------------------------------- ---------------14-------12h14------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- PAUSE. "You Really Got Me" proceeds as follows: ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- ----11h12p11------11--------------------------------------- --------------14------12h14---11h12p11------11------------- ----------------------------------------14------12h14\12--- ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------2------------------------------------- ----\10---\7---/9----0------------------------------------- and, from the PAUSE, "Show Your Love" proceeds *something* like: ------------------------12h14p12----12-------------------------- --------------12h14h15-----------15----14h15p14p12h14p12----12-- ----11h12h14---------------------------------------------14----- ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- ---14p12h14p12-\11h12p11-\9h11p9-\7h9p7-\5h7p5-\4h5p4p0~--- ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- EVH's lick can be added as a slur on another blues lick: ----------------------------------------------------------- -----15p12------12----------------------------------------- -----------h14------12------------------12b+1/4------------ -----------------------h14---14---------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- Here's the lick with the EVH lick incorporated: --------------12------------------------------------------- ----12h15p12------12h15p12------12------------------------- ---------------------------h14------12--------------12b+1/4 ----------------------------------------h14--14------------ ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- Slur and stay relaxed.
