    Dude I'm sorry, I hit the wrong quote... Again...DERRR!!! I believe Eddie is using the whammy pedal during the "Welcome to China Town" part. It's buried in that mix fairly low. Eddie plays octaves there and then the horsie like sound, which I'm not certain, but I think is the whammy pedal. Hope that helps you.

    I believe you are right VAiN, some of it just doesn't add up. There are a couple of runs that are transcribed that don't seem to be right. But then again, it could just be me not doing it right...lol

    That's why I just play the cd and leave it up to Edward to play it right. You guys are insane for even trying. I still can't get the intro part of ATBL down & I've been working on that for 26 years +.

    It's not that hard. Overdrive your amp, pick on an A minor chord and fumble around. Even if you don't get "ATBL" right away, you end up figuring out about six or seven AC/DC songs.

    I think it's pretty accurate with that one.. I follow along while listening to it and it seems to make sense. The parts on that one are really nothing in terms of riffs, but the song as a whole is a motherfucker.
