    AC/DC: aheet music wanted

    Does anyone have/know of/have the ability to transcribe sound to paper for the following:

    AC/DC's It's a Long Way to the Top if your Gonna Rock'n'Roll (the part where the pipers play - not the bits Bon Scott plays)

    I have the video, but am not able at present to play the bespoke piece by ear

    Thanks!
    I have registered, and have attempted several searches w/o getting any hits on how to play it. Which search words did you use - or do you have a specific page ref.?

    cheers,

    stroke your thumb across as if you were doing a high a doubling to get the right phrasing
