xAC/DC-The Furor
From: Ballbreaker (1995)
tabbed by jjhand
Standard Tuning
I used to love to play this song. The main riff & chorus are so different from most ACDC.
Written for Lead and Rhythm (Guitar 1 & Guitar 2 parts may be switched).
Note that most rhythm strums bass notes (A and D strings) then treble (G and B strings)
a shuffle pattern.
Intro Riff - Guitar 1, play 10x

After playing Intro riff 2x, Guitar 2 comes in:
