To learn Van Halen - (2015 Remaster) Hot For Teacher chords, these are the chords to practise in sequence: Eb, Am, Eb, Am, E, Am, D and Am. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 63 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 128. Align the capo with your vocal depth and chord choice, bearing in mind the song's original key: Bb Minor.
