Tabs
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......

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......that´s it for todays Van
Halen lesson......
If the notes aren´t correct....at least they will give you a pretty good
idea.......any comments suggestions, corrections,
blah..blah.blah.....you can contact me at...... [email protected]
ya!
