 Respect The Wind
                    Written by Eddie and Alex Van Halen
                   Performed By Eddie and Alex Van Halen
 This song is an instrumental one and my favorite together with 316....it
 comes in the "Twister" soundtrack  ...this song has too much
 feeling....it took me quite a while to get it tabbed.......I might of
 missed a few notes....or a few squeals.....but I tried to tab it as
 accurate as possible........just listen to the song and get the feeling
 with which Eddie plays the song...........I hope this is of some help
 for someone........ok then.....here goes the tablature explanation......
 
 h  Hammer On           p Pull Off
 b  Bend 1/2 step       B Bend whole step
 /  Slide Up            \ Slide Down
 XXX String Noise      (8) Ghost Note
 T Tap noted fret     ~~~~~~~  Wiggle finger thatīs fretting the note
 Note: On the next Bendings strike only the first note

 BW/\/\ Bend note whole step then pull whammy bar up and down several
 times

 Hope you have enjoyed this song as much as I did....... it will sound
 better (in my case) if an equalizer is used and a guitar with relly good
 pick-ups to get those really high pitches......thatīs it for todays Van
 Halen lesson......
 
 If the notes arenīt correct....at least they will give you a pretty good
 idea.......any comments suggestions, corrections,
 blah..blah.blah.....you can contact me at...... al639920@mail.ur.mx....z
 ya!
