Hi,

Here's EVH's solo in 'Jump'. It's quite hard to play it at
the appropriate speed (I can't), I fact EVH himself can't
because this solo was a two take solo. He punched in
at the tapping part for the second half of the solo as he
said in interviews. 
 The position of the right hand for first the pinch harmonics is
around the righthand side of middle pickup (if you'd have
a guitar with 3 elements). For the second p.h it's around the
lefthand side of the middle pickup. I guess you'd better listen
to the record to get it right.
 I think you'll  find it quite accurate but any suggestions or
comments are welcome.
