AC/DC Guitar Lesson - 4 AC/DC Intros Every Guitarist Should Know!
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 12. 2022
- In this lesson I demonstrate how to play 4 must know AC/DC intros. Angus Young and Malcolm Young were a tremendous duo guitar team and AC/DC have written some of the best rock songs and guitar riffs known to man. In this video we take a look at Back In Black, You Shook Me All Night Long, Rock N Roll Aint Noise Pollution and Hells Bells. These songs are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to excellent riffs created by Angus and Malcolm Young. It was hard to choose 4, but these 4 are what I started with for this video. I hope you enjoy the lesson. Please subscribe!

My favorite all-time music quote is “I'm sick to death of people saying we've made 11 albums that sound exactly the same, In fact, we've made 12 albums that sound exactly the same.” ~ Angus Young
Haha! That's hilarious. 😂
They got so much mileage from just a handful of chords.
Why change perfection?
@@leftofpunk a handful of chords, groove, solos with feeling, passion on the stage... it's much more than a handful of chords
What I remember hearing Angus say that was similiar was...
"People say all of our songs sound the same,.....I say,.....But it's a good song"
Great explanation of the importance of timing. And I loved the hand written notes. Glad this came into my feed this morning. I'll be back for more.
my best AC/DC Lesson ever 🤘🏼Thank you so much. More please.
Love the 4 riff per video…. So much fun… do more!
Cool thanks! I plan on doing some more. They're fun to do as well. I like to cover several things in a video regarding intros and riffs etc. thanks for watching!
AC/DC guitar playing is legendary , and every walk of life loves there music , Angus is a beast on guitar great hooks and riffs ridiculous .Always a working man’s band
True man true. Love em to death. 😎❤️
And he has got an amazing feel mixed into it.

This is way above my skill level but I’m going to “steal” bits I can do ….very good tutorial👏👍
Great riffs with easy to follow instructions. Awesome job!
Thanks! It's always good to hear positive feedback. Glad you liked the video. 🤟🏻😎
Like the way you explained these. Thanks man.
Your lessons are right on the mark just the enough information for a pro to get it fast thanks
Another great in-depth lesson. Thanks Marty😊
Appreciate you watching Tim. Thanks man!! 😎🤟🏻
I couldn't agree more with you: "Intros that every guitarist should know."
AC/DC is blues, hard rock, rock & roll and everything in between.
Angus' style is very tricky and his legacy has inspired millions of people around the globe.
Great video, Marty!
Tag sky for the comment man. Very true... Ac/Dc are the salt of classic hard rock and "metal". Some of the most crushing and hook infused licks recorded. They have stood the test of time for a reason. And teach us valuable skills in rock and blues!
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker @sky it is always positive to have this kind of conversations beyond the guitar lessons. For instance, many rock fans don't know that Back in Black is the number 2 in the list of the world's best-selling albums of recorded music with more than 30 million copies sold.
Even Eddie Van Halen was impressed (and concerned) by the fact that the boys from Australia, as the opening act for the 'Day on the Green’ Concert In Oakland, California in 1978, got 57,512 fans screaming and dancing before the mighty Van Halen took the stage.
These stories are simply fascinating.
Thanks again, Marty! Your lessons are truly inspiring.
Exactly ACDC is a good base school for every guitar player
and beyond
@Running free they are Amazing as are the stories, but it's sold more than 50 million now. I think only Thriller beats it at about 55 million. Such a great sounding album. People to this day still try any copy the sound of that album but can't..... cheers.
Great tone! Thanks for the lesson.
Alot of the songs you teach I know. But your gift is that of TEACHING big difference between instructing. This was done professionally. Another 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Brother.
Thanks so much. I appreciate the kind comment. Means a lot man. 😄☮️🎵🎵🎵
So nice to hear someone address time and keeping it in your body somewhere.
Thanks for the comment! I feel this is a very important aspect. It's all part of the groove. It's like an internal dance. 😁
Thanks man - you helped me refine a few areas on some of my favorite Acca Dacca - subbed due to your excellent approach to teaching
Thanks a million man. So glad it helped you. I love to hear that. 😁🤟🏻

Well that was fun! Great!
Thank you for watching!
Awesome stuff, subscribed, for those about to Rock we salute you!

Awesome! I wish I had this in the 80s. But, even now, it's cool! Nice to learn the riffs, I only wish I knew when I was 16.
Thanks man, I'm glad it helped. Thanks for watching!!
Great video. Love the hand drawn Tab/chord text. Somehow its better for my dyslexic brain,eyes and hands 👍👍👍
Thanks! I'm kinda old school. And people seem to like it! I appreciate you watching. 😎🤟🏻
That guitar tone is great!
Great lesson. Thanks.
You're very welcome!!
Awesome Marty, my favourite band growing up. Love the '70s Bon era of the band 🤘

Awesome man! The tone is just spot on. But I guess the Les Paul is a brother of the SG.
Thanks man! I only have an SG with P90's so I opted for the Paul!
Very cool. I like your channel too. Great content
Thanks ma!! I really appreciate you watching and for engaging. 😁
Perfect graphics!
Rudolf and Mathias(Scorpions) are one of the best 'Duos" ever and can certainly compete with Malcolm & Angus as far as 'Duos' are concerned. Many more I can think of that are 'Badass' but AC/DC has their own 'distinctive sound' in which we all know/love. 👍❤
Thanks a lot 🙏🙏🙏🙏🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
Good lesson. And also good tip about the middle finger vibrato on rock n roll aint noise polution. Thanks brother 👍
Thanks man. Sometimes the smaller details make the biggest impact! 😎
I've now got an obsession to learn as many AC/DC riffs as I can. I alerady have 5 under my belt, including the 2 best ones: Back in Black (which is suprisingly easier than it looks, even though it feels amazingly brilliant when you manage to crack it), and Riff Raff (a little bit trickier, but in my opinion, the greatest guitar riff of all time)
Like your tone.
You did good with this video brother. Rock on 🤘
Thanks man. I appreciate you watching 😎🎵🎵🤟🏻

I'm glad that I found your channel. I'm working on a Boston song that taught us how to play !
Glad you found my channel too! Thanks for watching and have fun man!
I definitely will. !
I’ve read that ACDC’s wireless guitar system (which they used in the studio) contributed greatly to their tone. Some videos on YT about it.
a little. not "greatly". it give a slight boost & compression.
Check out Solo Dallas
I would not waste your money on Solo Dallas. You can get a great tone without that. AC/DC used more then just Plexi & their tone changed over the years. Listen close to their old stuff & Who Made Who you will notice a big difference in tone.
This definitively helped me especially timing is killing me daily. I’m not fast enough
Man thank you I've always wanted to learn how to play back in Black hells bells is cool too but back in Black was one of my favorites off that album do a video on how to play highway to hell That's my favorite song of all time from AC/DC thanks Marty appreciate it buddy You're awesome
Awesome Kenneth! So glad you wanted to learn it man. I can do highway to hell also! No prob 😎
Excellent lesson!
Thank you!! 🙏

The old AC/DC is the greatest in my opinion. Sin City, Down Payment Blues, Touch to Much, stuff like that. Back n Black is good though. Good Video Marty!
Thanks man! I love it all! 😎
Agreed 😀

Nicely done - clear and simple lesson. One thing that’s worth trying when learning AC/DC tunes is to mute the major third on open chords, especially the b on the 5th string, 2nd fret when playing an open G chord. This would definitely apply to You Shook Me All Night Long (I’ve also seen people mute the g# on the 3rd string of first E chord of Back in Black, and the f# on the first string for the D chord, as I think you did, for example).
Takes a bit of practise, but definitely gives the cowboy chords, especially that G, the rich shimmer of a full open chord AND a the crunch of power chord (and maybe gives Angus more freedom away from chord tones to mix major and minor, mist or whatever?) Enjoyed your vid.

Very true indeed. Muting strings gently while play open chords is a trick you learn over the years. Prevents certain tonalities ... and opens up more root and fifth for a meatier rock sound. 😎🤟🏻

The BIB riff shouldn’t have those scratchy muted tones inbetween the chords.
Correct. I was demonstrating the timing. 😎☮️

Yes the extra muted scratchiness does not sound good!
I really enjoyed this, I though it was great Marty. Look forward to seeing more from you. Merry Christmas
Thanks Paul! Merry Christmas to you buddy. ☮️🎄
Saved. In more ways than one.
Thanks man! I appreciate you watching 😎🤟🏻

I would like to take the time and thank you for the Munsters song lesson. A bucket list item checked off.
You're very welcome! I always love to hear the lessons have made folks happy. I appreciate you watching!
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker could never have learned it on my own. Best of luck and MERRY CHRISTMAS.
@@jeffsquires6620 Merry Christmas to you as well! ☮️
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker just ordered nut sauce after watching your video. My Goldtop has a similar problem with the G and B strings. My favorite Gibson. Recently bought a 81 JMP 50 watt master volume. The one made for Canada. My buddies ask where the other buttons are. Love your Marshall family.
@@jeffsquires6620 cool I hope it works good for you as well! Thanks man. I just hang in to my gear. I'm like a horder. But hey ... it's fun! 😎🤟🏻
I would agree Malcolm and Angus were undoubtedly the best guitar duo ever,,,, their timings were absolutely perfect dispite Angus bouncing off the walls ,,,
lol,,, 😎✌🏻
Brothers seem to know when and what each other are going to play. I always played better with my brother than anyone else. (We weren't good, but better)
Nicely done. Big AC/DC fan here. I enjoy watching how different people handle the same riffs. Curiosity question: is that an R8? I'm guessing only because of the relatively plain top. I'm also a Les Paul nerd, and I like guessing these things - it's like picking out cars on the highway. - cheers!
Thanks man! Yep. It's a Murphy Lab R8. Very resonant and wonderful axe! Love my Les Pauls! Thanks for watching my friend. 😎🤟🏻
I you check Sweetwater' video out when he sat down with Angus he explains how Hells Bells is really played & how most guitar players (Me included) play the one part wrong.
That is very different from the way I've seen Noise pollution played. I've been playing it entirely on the B&G strings. interesting way to play it with that E on the D string instead of the B. It sounds good.
They are lot more but great guitar playing
AC/DC the first music I learned to play by ear in 1978or9ish? Thanks Marty
You're very welcome man. It's great stuff to learn by ear and solid material in understanding rock guitar. 🤟🏻

Intro to "Have a Drink on Me" it's the one for me. Quite hard to replicate.
Oh yeh. That's a wicked intro. 🤟🏻😎🤟🏻
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker yes, kind of drunken guitar.
2:28 Back in Black
8:39 You shook me all night long
14:18 Rock n Roll aint noise pollution
20:41 Hells Bells
The Handwritten tabs are epic, never seen that in a video
Thank you. Trying to add a personal touch. Old school !!

Every Serious blues rock player should pick Angus's playing apart with a microscope
and before i get the he is not that complicated i have seen heard very few players who get his stuff right.
I totally agree with you. His style is so badass. His leads and riffs are ferocious.
Jailbreak is a great example - way more complicated than most think - ahhh…the beauty in the Young brother’s mastery…
Hey Marty, love AC-DC'S intro's. On Shook me I do it on #2,3 and 5 high E's instead. You always pickem. Thanks. Did you clean house cause it looks organized, lol. See ya.
Hey man! I used to do it this way too until last spring. I decided this way sounded more accurate. I think angus and Malcolm overdubbed a couple voicings in these albums that make them sound fuller. I swear that opening chord is doubled sometimes. Probably some Mutt Lange wizardry. Yeh. I sorted and stacked the amps! Good eye! 😎🎵
I watched your introduction to Back in Black using some sweet pick scratching muffle, but I couldn't help but listen to the original recording and I don't hear Angus doing that.
I was keeping time for the lesson for demonstration purposes.
Great tone. I never could figure out that first chord of You shook me..
Thanks my friend. I appreciate ya watching. 😎🥂

You Shook Me All Night Long, one of the best rock song ever written.
True that man!
Nice T- shirt
Thanks!
Long way to the shop, Highway, Rosie, Friday on My mind, (yeah but it is a Young composition!)
🤘
Every body should learn at least 5 AC DC songs
Nice job. Did you know there are 2 guitars on the opening to Shook You All Night Long. Hear them by panning right and left speakers. Two totally different parts. I think it's Malcolms unique and simpler part somewhat buried in the mix. The opening doesn't sound right without it. You're a much better player than I was 20 years ago, but by chance I heard it while trying to figure the opening.
Yep! You can hear it in the voicings. Makes it nice and wide. Full. 😎
Killer lesson Marty! That LP sounds awesome too, is it a plain top R8? And were you using a JCM800 patch??
Hey Andy! Thanks man. It's a Murphy Lab R8 bourbon burst ultra light age. I found this beast at a GC in Cary NC for a good used price and sold a cork sniffer I never played (I won't say the brand to not offend anyone) to get it.
I am using the same page I use for the VH stuff. Just a Friedman BE but I have the volume turned halfway down on my guitar to clean it up!
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker Sweet, don't tell me GC thought it was a standard R8 plain top!? The Murphy Lab stuff is always priced as unobtainable!
So hard to believe I was in college when BIB came out. I feel so old. Lol
In college...Lol...I was in the 9th grade...
Music has a way of making me feel old too. I can't believe the mid 90's are going on 30 years ago! Good grief. 😩
Subscribed and thanks! #acdc4evr
Thanks Tony. I appreciate you man!
great guitar tone...were you plugged into one of the amps or a modeller?
Thanks! For CZcams I use a Fractal AX8 with a Friedman BE sun and run my delay and verb in protools for mixing reasons.

Great video, excellently played. But I would say maybe turn down the distortion a tad, don't forget it was Malcolm on his Gretsch guitar with very little distortion that started most intros.
@Niecgram-Me-Marty5150 Christmas is for everyone, not just Riff Raff (get it, ACDC Riff Raff). God Bless dude.
Very true. Thanks man!! 😎🤟🏻

True that! Just keeping time for the video my man. 🤟🏻🎵
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker
Had to double check myself though
trop fouilli!
True. Lol 😂😂😂
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker 😂 😂
Does Angus actually play the intro to you shook me all night long up that high? I always thought it was the G chord at the the 3rd fret barring high e and b and open g string then pinky to 5th fret high e string(a note). I play the entire lick between the 2nd and 5th frets with a few open strings in there as well.
Hello, fan!
Thanks for reaching out congratulation 🎁🎊🎉You Won a (Flying guitar )it’s for your Christmas Cheerful send a message above to acknowledge your prize🎁❤::::
I do believe so man. I actually think there's two guitars in the recording. One may be high one low. Over the years my ears have told me that those fist two notes just down sound like e and b strings. They sound more like the inversion up higher in the g and b string. 🤷
Hey Marty, when you do those ‘cranked-amps-outdoors’ videos, do you ever hear about it later? I want to try it, but I don’t want to upset any neighbors
Nah I have yet to hear anything about it. I live in a fairly remote area with some distance between neighbors. I've known my surrounding neighbors for 13 years. I used to have hours and hours of band rehearsals when I first moved here so I think they are used to it or have come to expect it. 😂
Haha
@@Paul-dw2cl I must say... after the dual amp crankage science experiment I kinda thought they might say something.
Pefect! but only do down pics.🙂
Down picks rule dude! 😎
Damn I wish I had all those Marshall Amps you got behind you. Where do you live? Lol

I thought in "Hells bells" that B chord wasn't quite a B chord.
It doesn't come on the and of 1 it comes on the 1e....straight after the kick drum...don't play that chuck on the one either completely silence.....snare kick...then straight in with the riff...the second lick the climbing figure is on the and
