AC/DC - Down Payment Blues guitar tab
Your rating:
Hey! My first tab. I saw a request for this tune a little while back, and thought I would contribute to this newsgroup since I've been pulling tab from it for quite some time... keep up the great work guys! Since this is my first attempt at tabulation, I would appreciate any comments, criticisms and/or style pointers. "Powerage" is my favorite AC/DC albums, and if anyone wants I'll tab some of the other songs I know, including "Riff Raff" and "Gone Shooting" (great tune!). I would also appreciate if someone would post the extro to this song (the bluesy riff right at the end). I've included part of it with this tab, but it probably needs some work.
