AC/DC, You Shook Me All Night Long (acoustic version)
From GuitarWiki
Tittle: You Shook Me All Night Long (Bons Ultimate Volts: Disc 3 Track 13)
Artist: A. Young, M. Young, B. Johnson
Tabbed by: D. Robinson (at5kspydr@hotmail.com)
This is a little different than the typical electric guitar version, but
it is just as good. This tab is my interpretation, I may be missing a few
notes but this is how I hear it being played. Guitar 1 is the lead guitar
(Angus) and guitar 2 is the rhythm guitar (Malcom), I also consider Brian's
voice an instrument and suggest you find someone to sing along if you can't.
The vertical lines represent palm muting (I thought it would be less confusing).
The \ and / above the tabs is the strumming pattern I use most of the
time but don't feel limited to it, use it as a guide for how fast to
strum (little or no space means the strumming is fast) and make up your
own strum patterns that may feel a bit more natural to you.
\ = strum down
/ = strum up
Within the tabs are the fret numbers that are to be played on each string
as well as letters or symbols that say what to do with the note.
~ = vibrate
/ or \ = slide up or down to the next note
b = bend
h = hammer on to the next note
p = pull off to the next note
X = mute this string

SOLO - not done yet, when a get time I will finish it
NOTE: The solo is played with the chorus rhythm guitar. Ajust the
speed of the solo to match the rhythm. It wasn't possible for me
to keep the time on the solo because of space limitations. Use the
space between the notes as a guide on how long to wait before the
next note should be played. I divided the solo up into workable
sections that make sense to me so it isn't too overwhelming.
