Why Cant This Be Love Chords
by Van Halen1,417 views, added to favorites 50 times
Classic 80s synth rock feel. Please refer to the record to understand the pace of these changes as there are many passing chords. Chorus plays as intro. Interludes act as bridges. Solo section almost feels like octaves as chord changes, but basic shapes will sound fine as well. Second half of chorus 3 changes things up a bit. Outro repeats those changes fading while feeling like the intro. This version is meant to represent a way to play the song with just a single guitar and voice rather than imitate exactly what Eddie is doing on guitar in a band setting.Was this info helpful?
