Van Halen (Balance)
Transcribed by: Mike Heasley (mheasley@hmc.edu)
I grabbed the tab for this off of ftp.nevada.edu and thought it was
close but not quite right. So here’s my rendition. I basically
just edited the version that was transcribed by Bob Brockman
(brockman@udavxb.oca.udayton.edu). Corrections, comments,
suggestions, flames, etc. welcome.
