On fire
By
Van Halen
Tabbed by Nisse D.
Ok iґve been all over the web trying to find this, but havenґt
seen anything but the solo, so i thought iґd 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.
Thereґs bits of lyric to help you keep up.
Anyway, here goes:
Key:
b : bend
bf : bend full
x : noise
w : whammy
pm : palmmute
(5): natural harmonic
: slide downwards
/ : slide upwards
T : tap note (i never tap using the pick,
finger-tapping gives a greater sound)

*:bend 2nd and start picking fast while sliding up to 17th fret without
actually fretting,thus causing harmonics.
Then do this:
|-0-(5)-(5)-(5)-(5)—| Strike harmonic at 5th then make noise on muted
|——x—x—x—x—| strings g and b.The rythm may feel a bit awkward
|——x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-| at first,but you`ll soon get the hang of it.
