Subject: TAB: "Right Now" - Van Halen (piano arr. for guitar)


Here are some parts of "Right Now" that have been arranged for guitar (basically the
first part of the song).

It is a good idea to put a capo on the fifth fret, but I tabbed then without a capo
(fifth fret means open string with the capo).

Here is the intro.  When applied to piano, it sounds just like the CD:

e--------5-----8-----10-----8---5----   Play this over and over again and
B--8---------------------------------   VERY fast...
G----7-----7-----7------7-----7---7--
D------5-----5-----5------5----------
A------------------------------------
E------------------------------------

Then the cymbals kick in.  I don't know the exact name of some of the chords with
additions, so I just put the root chord above each measure.

 A                            G                           F

e--5-5---5---5---5---5------|---------------------------|---------------------------
B--7-7---8---8---7---7---5--|--5-5---6---6---5---5------|----------------6---6------
C--7-7---7---7---7---7---5--|--5-5---5---5---5---5---7--|--7-7---7---7---7----7-----
D--7-7---7---7---7---7---5--|--5-5---5---5---5---5---8--|--8-8---8---8---7-----7----
A--5-5---5---5---5---5------|--7-7---7---7---7---7---8--|--8-8---8---8---5----------
E--5-5---5---5---5---5------|--8-8---8---8---8---8---6--|--6-6---6---6--------------

B--6---5--------------------|  With a little improvising, it covers most of the
C--7---5--------------------|  song.
D--7---5--------------------|
A--5---7--------------------|
E------8--------------------|
