                            Hot For Teacher
                              Van Halen

This song absolutely rocks!  It is pretty hard but if you can
Play it, it sounds awsome, the solo is crazy, but if you can learn
It you can really impress your friends.  This tab is in standard
Tuning but it sounds good a half step down too.

ENJOY.

I am going to leave out the hamerons and pullofs, 
Because they are obviouse and look confusing in
Large amounts.  Do a pickslide at the start of this.

Play a couple of times until the big solo.

SOLO
Don’t be surprised if you cant play this, its pretty hard.
Don’t just look at it and stop though, actually try, then
After a little while if you cant play it, just skip it or add your
Own solo.

GOOD LUCK!

More Fast picking

Well if you can learn that it should sound pretty good,
Remember the outro is all tremolo or fast picking. 
(except the slide down from the 18’s)

Hey dude. I tabbed this song out myself but I can't post it because for some stupid reason I was banned. Anyway, I don't know if we listened to different versions or anything but this is how I play the main distorted riff:

By the way, Van Halen is definitely one of the best guitarists I've ever seen (I basically consider him a god) but you have to remember that Jimi Hendrix had no other bands to listen to which means that he actually created the style we call rock and roll.
