FINISH WHAT YA STARTED  Van Halen
               from: March 1992 Guitar World

In this song ^=1/4 step bend
      /= slide up
      \=slide down
      ~= vibrato
    --20--30--- two notes together= pull offs

        I have not looked at enough of the tab on here to be sure I
used standard notation for the group, bot it is all pretty self-explanatory.
The only problem I had was notating hammer ons because a 1 to 3 hammer on
looked like a fretted note at 13!! oh well... hope someone out there gets some
use out of this...
