Hey Everyone,
 
Here is the the song 'Decibel' off of AC/DC's new album 'Black Ice'...

This is the first song I've ever worked out by ear and tabbed down so please make room
mistakes although I'm 95% sure this tab is correct...

Not entirely sure about the main riff. I think it goes more like this: E|-----------------------| B|-----------------------| G|---------------5-------| D|-5-7-7-5-7-7-7---7~~~~-| A|-0-0-0-0-0-0-----------| E|-----------------------|

I agree with playinbass1432 on the main riff but not too bad all together. Just need the solo. ****

Playinbass nailed it. The OP's tab sounds similar but not right and is also more difficult because it uses more fretboard and requires some reach.
