- AC/DC - It's a Long Way To the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)
- Tabbed by Jason Kester <jkester@sea.ms.ch2m.com>
-
- This is an easy song that nobody can seem to figure out how to play
- because it's so far out of tune. I guess you cant really tune a
- bagpipe, so they had to tune to it. Anyway, tune down a quarter step
- (yeah, half a fret...) and then tweak it until it sounds right.
-
- Intro: (Guitar 1)

- After a while, Guitar 2 changes to this rhythm part:

- Chorus:

- +-4......2...4..----OR+-----9-------------------------------------------

- Then comes the solo. The bagpipe part goes:
-
- +----7~~--
- +---------
- +-7H8-----
- +---------
- +---------
- +---------
-
-
- That's about it. It's pretty easy. The solo is in the 7th position.

- The spacing of the notes kind of reflects the timing of the song, but not
- very well.
