Van Halen - Unchained Ver.5 guitar tab

Your rating:

Author/Artist: Van Halen
Title: Unchained
Album: Fair Warning

This tab for Unchained is NOT, by any means, my original work, it is Dan Scheraga?s, (danscheraga@hotmail.com), who originally posted it on Olga.net (another great tab site). I saw that The Tabworld did not have a really accurate Unchained tab, so decided to take Dan?s work, with some very, VERY slight modifications, and post it. Thank you Dan for making such an amazing version of Unchained!

Symbol Key
Palm mute: x
Slide: /
Whammy: w
Tap: t
Pull-off: p
Hammer: h
False Harmonic: ^
Pick Slide: #

Tune guitar down 1/2 step. (Putting it in D sounds really great, too.)

Intro: On the second time through, instead of palm muting the first five notes then the first four notes after the D chord, do small pick slides (#) on the low E. NOT the A! (It?s only placed on the A to save space).

e:-2--3------------------------------------

Then the ?non-stop rocker? part. The notes on the E sound palm muted...
But I?m not sure... Mess around with it.

Correction to my tab: In reading an article with Eddie Van Halen about his Wolfgang guitars, he mentions that Unchained is in dropped D tuning, so don't tune down 1/2 step just drop the E.
