[ preview ends at bar 10 — the interactive score has the rest ]

                                    Lead doesnt play anything in the first half of the verse, but in the last 8
                                    bars, he plays this- Then vocals come in- "Ridin' down the highway..." x2

                                                         Then both guitars play this - let ring

                              x2                                              "It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock'n'roll..."

                                                   ~
                                                   ~

                                              ~
                                              ~
    "If you think its easy doin' one night stands..." ~

                         "Try playin' in a rock'n'roll band..."

                                    "It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock'n'roll!..."
                                    Then the Rythm guitar comes back in with this until the guitar solo

                                                        Bagpipe Interlude
                                                        And the lead plays- (guitar and bagpipes) you can play the bagpipes

More Than Tabs

Hear every part, read it in the notation you prefer, and practise it at your own tempo

Audio Playback

Play the whole score back, or step through it note by note. Every track is synthesised from its own instrument, so a drum line sounds like drums and a piano part sounds like a piano.

Dual Notation

Switch any track between tablature, standard notation and note names — or show them stacked, aligned bar for bar. The same score, in whichever language you read fastest.

Practice Tools

Slow the tempo until a passage sits under your fingers, set the play range to loop the bar you keep missing, and mute the tracks you want to play yourself.
