E9: Van Halen "Jump" intro

Post by Frank Freniere »

Fun to run this through a synth pedal. You could tune the 10th string up to C to get that crashing first note (not included).

Here's the YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwYN7mTi6HM

Thanks for the tab Frank. My buds do this tune. Like to work it out. I have a couple synth modules. Any tips on getting this particular sound?

Thanks, guys.

Jerry, probably not much help but I use a Boss SY-1 synth pedal for keyboard sounds - pretty basic. For "Jump," I use String 1 or Sequencer 7 - the Sequencer is a little brighter.

Thanks Frank. I went over to the Boss interactive site and sampled some of these sounds. This thing is great! I was blown away by the B3 sounds. Now you got me wanting one of these pedals. Dang! Mo money, Mo money 🤑

Ha-ha! Yes, it's a blast to dial up that B3 sound on, say, the intro to Frank Sinatra's "That's Life."
