Ya that works as well! Since there's no video of Angus playing yet, there's no right or wrong as to where on the neck he is. However, I'm going to stick to the hammer on and brighter end of the neck because that sounds more accurate to me. The only part I might change is the Angus chorus and play that off the G chord fingered on the 5th and 7th frets. Thanks for your input!

There is a video of Angus playing but you REALLY have to look at his hands. Heres the link for the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TT8e7i0ccLQ

Sounds pretty good. But I think Angus uses a slightly easier way to play the second part during the verse. What do you think of this: e|-3-------------------------------------| B|-3---1---1-----------------------------| G|-0---0---0--------5----7---9--10-------| D|-0---2---3-----------------------------| A|-----3---3----5/7---7--8--10--10--10---| E|-3-------------------------------------|
