Van Halen - Eruption Live Toccata Chords & Tabs

 	

	VAN HALEN - ERUPTION LIVE - 
	THIS IS THE TOCCATA AND FUGE D MINOR BIT, AT 0.45 ON THE BUENOS ARIES LIVE VIDEO (2.22 LONG ZAZZA)- IT IS GOOD!


	I'VE SPENT MY DAY DOING THIS, WHILE HAVING MY CIGAR SMOKED, SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THE MISTAKES.
	
	1. GET A DISTORTION, SLIGHT DELAY, SLIGHT FLANGE SOUND
	2. DROP DOWN (dead hopefully some of you)
	3. listen to what i've said throughout if you want to make it sound right
	4. THIS IS ALL TAPPED, BUT IT GETS CONFUSING READING IT IF THERE ARE 12's IN THE WAY EVERYWHERE, SO I'VE GOT RID OF MOST OF THEM,
	   THE ONES THAT ARE THERE GET U GOING)
	5. if it is too hard for you tapping, as well as playing the notes, then just play the notes which i've set out below i.e
	   ignore the tapping. (this is also good to do first coz it gets the tune in your head) 

	
	t = tap the bloody note
	p = pick off 
	^ = bend the bastard
	h = hammer onto next note
