ACDC - 'Shake a Leg'
From: 'Back in Black'
tabbed by: jjhand
I fixed up the Version 2 tab, since the riffs and solo were pretty off.
The real solo has a EVH-inspired Two-Handed tapping lick towards the end
and plenty tremelo picking and pentatonic riffage. Check it out!
Please Rate it too!

Dude I swear this song alone shaved 20 years off of Brian's voice.
Great tab! Nice to see someone else who can actually tab AC/DC songs properly.
