AC/DC: Big Gun
==============
Here's the new (?) AC/DC tune from the "Last Action Hero" soundtrack.
Terrible movie but good soundtrack (although, admittedly, the dog scene
ranks among the top 20 funniest movie scenes of all time -- the movie's
only redeeming feature).
Two guitars in this one -- guitar 1, which plays Riff A and all the solos,
is a clean electric. Guitar 2, which plays the rest, is distorted. To get
it "officially," use both guitars; if it doesn't matter (probably), one
will do fine.
Lyrics are questionable at best since I can barely hear them -- might want
to see a doctor about that throat.
--- David Braue (dbraue@pearl.tufts.edu)

Repeat the CHORUS once more and then free-form it to the end.

"Make no mistake about it. They're EXTREMELY well-trained."
This song transcribed by David Braue on October 11, 1993 on a chilly,
beautiful Massachusetts autumn evening when I should really be studying.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official AC/DC tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
