Ain't talkin' 'bout love. My love is rotten to the core.
Ain't talkin' 'bout love. Just like I told you before.
Verse 2:
You know you're semi-good lookin'. And on the streets again.
You think you're really cooki'n baby. You better find yourself a friend

Ain't_Talkin'_'Bout_Love
by Van Halen (what I remember anyway)
Transcribed by Eric Larson (larsoe@rpi.edu)
The main riff goes something like this:
(Palm-Muted of course)
----------O-1-----3---------------|
------1-------1-----3------------.|
--------2-------O-----O-----------|
----2----------------------------.|
--O---------------------3^~~-2-3--| (the ^~~ means do afunkey bend/vibrato)
----------------------------------|
AH (Artificial Harmonic)
Then he does something like this after that and for the chorus:
----------------------------------------------------------
---------3------------------------3-----------------------
-2-X-2-X-O----------------2-X-2-X-O-------/5-5/7-7/9-9/12- ('/' = slide)

-O-X-O-X-X------3^~~-2-3--O-X-O-X-X-----------------------
---------3--3-3-------------------3--3-3------------------
= Finger Mute
P = Palm Mute)
The verses I believe are like the main riff only not muted, just let the notes
ring.
I don't even have a tape of the song anymore so I can't figure out the solo...
I forgot it, sorry. The solo is pretty simple though.... Well I'll write down
what I THINK it sort of sounds like.... perhaps someone would like to mail me
a tape?? (I'd be happy to figure out the rest of the songs if someone would :)

The sound Eddie gets is the result of a good flange sound and I assume a
Marshall cranked up to eleven!
