Rock And Roll Damnation tab by AC/DC

Guitar tabs

The intro arrpeggios are played over the chords A augmentedA and D.

D------7------------7-------|

The main riff is rock and roll itself. Perhaps one of the
most used rock rythyms going - it still sounds fresh on this
album  - even in 1994 !!

       A augmentedA
E---------------------------------------|
B------3--3-po-2-----3-3-po-2-----------|
G------2--2----2-----2-2----2-----------|
D------4 -4-po-2-----4-4-po-2-----------|
A---0--0--0----0--0--0-0----0--3-4-0----|
E---------------------------------------|

 po = pull off
 Try experimenting with this rythym until you get the
 right feel. IT IS FUN !!!

Back to the main riff for the solo which I can’t get to
sound right - but I know that just as the vocals come
back in the solo is playing something like:

E-----------17------------
B---------------------17--
G---16b-16b---16b-16b-----   repeatedly.
D-------------------------
A-------------------------
E-------------------------

try messing around with this. It’s easier to stumble across
by playing than writing it down !!
