Note: Lead parts are very much in the style of Eddie Van Halen so try to use  
      some of his style in order for it to sound good.

Great tab but you should know that you’ve made a few minor mistakes. Firstly the second chords in the intro is a G# not an A# (right in the tabs though). Second of all, the riff contains a few mistakes as well. The power chords are right, but the notes on the A-string are a 5th too high. In stead of 5-3-5 on the A-string its 3-1-3 on the E-string (common mistake). In the Pre Verse after Mini solo/Break the last note is a D, not a G. I didn’t check the rhythms, but now the notes are right.
