ACDC Back In Black Guitar TabBack In Black
by AC/DC
1980 album BACK IN BLACK
Good song, but you'll have to forgive me if the tab ain't perfect.
This is only the main riffs, and I'm doin' it from memory.
KEY:
T = play with thumb
/ = slide up
= slide down
^ = bend ^q = quarter tone ^h = half tone ^F = full tone
if letter is above the fret #, note is bent THEN picked
h = hammer
p = pull-off
g = grace note - written above note to be 'graced'
~ = vibrato
X's mean make that chopping noise that Angus Young makes in the song.
I shouldn't really need to tab that part out...
Opening riff (played behind verses as well):
---------------------|-------3-0------------|
---------------------|-----------3-0--------|

That later riff:
(play each part a couple of times - listen to the tape!)
First half (4 times?)
