As recorded by AC/DC
(From the 2008 Album BLACK ICE)
Transcribed by gnolivos
Here is one of the few AC/DC songs that does NOT have a guitar solo. The guitar
between the two brothers is very cool on this
one. This is a pretty accurate transcription as far as I can tell. Listen for the
and check the PowerTab version if you can --
easier to follow!
Gtr I (E A D G B E) - 'Malcolm'
Gtr II (E A D G B E) - 'Angus'
MAIN RYTHM ELEMENTS OUTLINED. COMBINE AS NEEDED. SELF EXPLANATORY!
