You Shook Me All Night Long By: AC/DC (Young/Young/Johnson) Album: Back In Black (1980) Also featured on: Who Made Who (1986) Tabbed By: Lucky Mesenko Hey folks, Lucky here... First, I'd like to say that I am appaled at the tabs that are already posted (ergo, I am making new ones) and think it's about time that someone around this joint showed y'all how to play AC/DC's Ace in the Hole (Including the solo, this time)... so without further adieu...

+G+---------------------------------0------------------------------------+ +E+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ The solo starts at the very end of the riff shown above, so I it's already timed and lined up (listen to the song, preferably the studio versoion off Back in Black or Who Made Who to find out what I'm rambling about) By the way, for future referance "B" means bend, "W" means Pre-bend (Do a bend before you play the note, and bend back as it rings; just a little tip, it took me awhile to figure out what the hell that was), The ~ sign means vibrato, and ">" means slide (some of these are probably done with hammer-ons, but I prefer slides, myself) Guitar 1 (Angus) +e+--------3-------------------------------------------------------------+

+E+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ Yeah you shook me... oh, sorry, I was really getting into that... Well, anyways, that's the whole song; listen to the recording to find out where Angus and Malcolm play together and where Angus is playing solo... btw, near the beginning of the solo, Angus dips pretty low before the 2 coda, but I always play it slightly differently, take some creative liscence, you know? Anyways, if you listen to the live recording of "You Shook Me" or any other song, you will notice that the solo is not note-for-note identical to the studio version... so if Angus doesn't have to, YOU DON'T HAVE TO EITHER! +E*N*D***O*F***T*R*A*N*S*M*I*S*S*I*O*N+ "Prove that you've got energy, that you can deliver without any preconcieved ideas of bulls**t... I think with AC/DC, you know what you're getting" -Angus Young "A lot of people look at our lyrics and say 'Oh, it's all either sex or hard stuff. There's no messages in there. Maybe you guys should be a little deeper with your lyrics.' Well, deep lyrics are fine for some bands, but at the end of the night people still wanna go home and get f**ked. That's where AC/DC comes into it, and I think that's what's kept us around so long" -Malcolm Young
