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...
