Song Kick-in / Main Theme Chorus Riffing

We're only going to tab this once here to keep these tabs easy to read and follow.  Most of you should be able to figure out that this riff repeats with only slight variation throughout the track.  What's tabbed below are the 2 versions of the riff as it comes around with a different ending fill riff each time.  Any differences in the riff from here will be pointed out in tab sections.  See video for the lesson here of course, as what's important is really what the bass is doing and how this riff changes in vibe because of it...

Bridge #1

This bridge part is used a few times in the track including under the last half of the solo.  There are 2 guitar parts here.  Guitar 1 uses a Flanger and is the main rhythm part, and guitar 2 uses a classic Phase 90 Brown sound and is the lead part.  Both parts are important here and I'll give you a great lesson on some Van Halen go-to scales on the video lesson so please check that out..

SOLO

The solo for this track is a melodic VH style lead using a classic early Phase 90 Brown Sound with cranked reverb and a pinch of extra crunch just for fun..  Take note that you're soloing first over the the A5 to F#5 chord change that makes up the main theme riff and then the bridge part's main root chords altered slightly to be a bit more laid back.  See video lesson for a demo and of course check out the jam track to hear what you're soloing over..

From here the song does basically a doubled chorus riff section.  As always with this track take note of what the
Bass is doing as it drives through the scale and doesn't just drive one note throughout the riff. 

See final ending guitar 1 and guitar 2 tabs below..



Final Ending

The final ending of this track has 2 guitar parts.  Guitar 1 plays an altered version of its Bridge part and guitar 2 plays an altered version of its Bridge part with a final ending solo lead..  See tabs below and please give yourself the lesson
of learning BOTH parts.  Both are important..
