On fire By Van Halen Tabbed by Nisse D. Ok i´ve been all over the web trying to find this, but haven´t seen anything but the solo, so i thought i´d do it by myself. This is a rather tricky song to figure out, because of all small licks, so everything might not be correct...
Use a delay,set at about 250 ms or so,plus a flanger to give that ominous distorted sound that Eddie gets. There´s bits of lyric to help you keep up.
