TABLATURE:  
Van Halen - I'm the one
from the album Van Halen  
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
h = hammer on          w\\  =dive whammy bar (wb)
p = pull off           w\\/ =dive wb and pull up 
/ = slide up           7b(9) = bend full step
\\ = slide down         7b(9)r(7) = bend full step and release 
~ = vibrato            T = tab with right hand
{harm.} = play natural harmonics 
{A.H.}  = play artificial harmonics (with thumb and pick)

general advise for playing Ed's songs: pick, hammer on and pull off as hard
as you can!

effects used: MXR Phase 90

If you think there's something to improve feel free to do so, I'll be happy
to learn about it!
