Song: Heavy Metal Artist: Sammy Hagar tab by: John Clark Hey folks, I've seen this song tabbed wrong on the opening riff that's used throughout the song, the 3rd fret C note pull-off on the A string. I thought it was the C, (which is the minor 3rd to A) but when I listened closer it's actually the 4th fret C# note (which is the major 3rd to A) that is a pull-off to the open A string and is consistent throughout the song. So I thought I'd do my own tab and correct it. Try it, its right!!! Tuning:standard
