Van Halen - Cant loving
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Notes: This song is actually in A, but I first scoped in out in G and it's (I think) easier to play that way (for me, anyhow) with more open strings. Eddie obviously doesn't share my limitations... There are several one-off sections in this song, most of which lead into the chorus or solo sections; I've isolated them and labeled them "pre-chorus" or whatever. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Intro: Gsus4 G Gsus2 G (all strummed) Reasonable facsimile of next intro part: (Palm muting on beats in between, I think) Gsus4 G Gsus2 G Em+C Em Esus4 Em ------ NOTE ------ e|-------------------------|----------------------------| This bit and many B|--h1-----0-----0-----0---|--1-----0-----0-----0-------| variations of it G|---0-----0-----2-----0---|--0-----0-----2-----0---2/4-| is used throughout D|---0-----0-----0-----0---|--2-----2-----2-----2-------| the song, whenever A|-------------------------|--------2-----2-------------| G-Em-C-D appears.

It isn't much but when it's repeated with a little improvising it covers most of the song. Enjoy.

All I know is the main riff and the solo which is surprisingly easy for an Eddie solo. Anyways here is Cant stop loving you. Verse: ---0------------------|-----------------------| ---3---3---2---0---2--|---10---10^---9--10--10| ---2---2---2---2---2--|-----------------------| ---2---2---2---2---2--|-----------------------| ---0------------------|-----------------------| ----------------------|-----------------------| Also on the verse a second guitarist strums the second fret on the top E string(thickest), or you can use your thumb as Eddie does. Solo: ------------------------------------------|---------- ---8---75----5---58----8/10---10875--|---------- ------------------------------------------|---------- ------------------------------------------|---------- ------------------------------------------|---------- ------------------------------------------|---------- ---------------------------|------------------------| ---------------------------|------------------------| -------------------579---|-----4------------------| -----------579-----------|--4----5------2-------2-| ---579-------------------|--5------5----2-----2---| ---------------------------|--5-----------3---3-----| --0----|---------------------------------|----------- --0----|---------------------------------|----------- --2----|---7/9----7---6------------------|----------- --2----|------------------7--------------|----------- --0----|----------------------7---5---4--|----------- -------|---------------------------------|----------- This is almost the whole solo. I changed it to Eddie's live version. So it is a bit easier than the Cd. It'll do anyways. Good Luck |
