Most people overlook the genius of the Young brothers ability to make music that was both simple and complex at the same time and still be relevant 40+ years later.
Malcolm was truly the driving force of the greatest rock band ever.
Rock In Peace Mal.....and tell Bon we said hi.....\m/
This guy's a great rock guitar teacher, really understands the AC/DC vibe and what makes Malcolm's playing what it is. Awesome little interactive jam session at the end there, I'm gonna make use of this when I get home from work and pick up the guitar. Cool idea, wish more youtubers did that interactive jam session at the end of a virtual lesson lol. Great content!
Thanks so much for watching and glad it was helpful! Happy jamming! 🤘
Possibly the best ac/dc tutorial ever. Helluva good job brother?
Wow, thanks!
not possibly - definately !😄
about 6:10 I paused the video and scrolled down to make basically the same comment!
Josh has that rare combo of being both a passionate teacher and incredible player!
The precision is the thing. I would normally never play without some reverb. But trying this exercise I have to turn it off completely. Love it!
This is such a clear and concise breakdown. Josh is an awesome teacher!🎸
This has got to be one of the best-presented and best-thought-out guitar lessons on CZcams. It's definitely the most fun. The jam session is the perfect way to put the material to immediate use.
Wow, thanks! We appreciate that a lot
AC/DC played at my high school in 1974...
So cool! nearly 50 years ago 😮
Lucky 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻⚡⚡⚡⚡🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Sweet! Jailbreak!
So envious.
We salute you
Upon winning some rock mag best rock player Angus said "I‘m not even the best guitar player in the band."
Best writer.. Most overlooked!!

AC/DC always sounds easy but when I get to it I always realize that man, that groove is hard to capture.
Then you come a long and do it effortlessly god damn it.
All kidding aside, it’s the first time I watched a video of yours and it was amazing. You have ease and it helps. Great video indeed.
Really helpful for me going into AC/DC songs.
Thanks.

What a great tutorial just got better with the interaction good job.
Thanks for watching! Glad it was helpful!
Great Video. New Subscriber right here. 👋
Really good tutorial. A lot of people seem to miss Malcolm's contribution to the sound and are focused in Angus.
The key to their sound is the combination of both brother's respective sounds.
Thanks for watching!
Dude!!
Wow. This unlocked the (now so obvious) trick to playing like Malcolm.Right hand so important. Great lesson. Malcolm was such an economic player!
Nice, go have fun with it!
Excellent...hope there's more ACDC \m/
Noted! 🤘
Great lesson, especially for dudes (like me) obsessed with soloing. Thank you!
Thanks so much! 🤘
Mega top 👌😊
Excellent work ty much appreciated. AC/DC nailed top to bottom. 😊
Rock on!
Does Angus use both pickups?
man im 62 and jamed this and learned the hard way but this guys is on he got good rhythm and lead !
Thanks for watching! 🤘⚡️
super good old school soloing!
🤘🎸
Like how you show the guitar as if we are holding it
Appreciate the feedback
Which AC/DC song is that? The only part I can kind of recognize is SHOOT TO THRILL, but that's not the whole thing.
Ac/DC Rock
You had me searching for your lesson with this video!
Learning “Malcolm’s rhythm techniques”
I’m so in! Went to your site, not one thing about this topic at all.
Am I missing something?
There's a Rock Learning Pathway. I presume that's what you're looking for.
After watching this I feel like getting rid of my neck pickup for good.
Been playing acdc for years but this is just what i've been missing. Thank you. I'll get right onto it.
Edit: I can play it like this now. H**y s**t. Thank you very much. That's a game changer, I can finally play like Malcolm. Not only the right hand, also the left. And you can play this forever and never get tired of it. I think I will apply to the course. Yours first and then I see there is a lot of other content.
Heck yeah! Thanks for watching! 🤘
Made Rock history playing 3 chords....
❤
I recommend using AC/DC as a learning tool for any new player interested in Rock n Roll.
🤘
🤘🎸
Interesting 🎉A
Get yourself some fat stings, like 11s or even higher and sting them up nice n tight. Think: acoustic. Now dont use too much distortion. Natural boost with volume is best. Basically it should be hard to use vibrato. Lol.
Best way to practice Malcolm's precision and tightness and groove; play Mal's parts on Jailbreak or High voltage live. He sits on one chord to let Angus do his magic. Sometimes only 2 strings but brings up the tension with his brother so naturally.
Theyll do this for like 5 minutes or more depending on Angus's shredding.
And remember Mal will usually play low on the neck with open chords while Angus may play a bar/power chord or variant thereof. Together they sound massive!
My favorite band of all time. i consider Malcolm young my guitar teacher. AC/DC LIVE video is my Holy Grail of guitar. The famous Donnington show. And Angus has the most beautiful black SG.
great vid my dude.🤘
That SG makes their sound.
That Gretsch...
what's the difference between turning off a pickup and turning it off... absolutely nothing.
Is that an AC/DC song? If so which one? Or is that just a jam for the video?
Like the Ramones, their sound is iconic.
Agreed!

Rick Parfitt i afraid was a better rythmn guitarist song writer and singer from the mighty Status Quo.
Jerry Cantrell
🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
😁
@@Pickupjazz 👌🎼🎵🎶🎶
What's the name of that song? I don't recognize it
This is an ACDC inspired jam from our Rock Learning Pathway 🤘
@@Pickupjazz Wow it actually sounds like an ACDC song! I thought it was weird that I didn't recognized it immediately since I'm a huge fan of ACDC. Thank you for the lesson 👌
@@King_Shark9 You can definitely hear parts of "If you want blood" and "Walk all over you"
When did Bill Steer lose his British accent?
Myślę że tajemnica tkwi w umiejętności wykorzystania brzmienia gitary a nie w technice gitarzysty. W prostocie siła ! AC/DC
I don't understand taking out the other pickups. Can't you just turn them off? Isn't it the same?
i think he's reffering to the second coil of the humbucker
@@petchai4814 oh, I see. Thanks.
Malcolm dug in and hit the strings hard. I’m guessing the extra pickups simply got in his way.
There's a train of thought that each pickup affects how the strings vibrate, each will dampen the vibrations so by taking the neck pickup out he's trying to maximise the tone of each string. That ties in with removing the lacquer from the guitar body. Or maybe he kept hitting his pick on it?
That Gretsch had 3 pickups. He took out the neck and middle because he didn't use it. Also it's a chambered guitar so there was something about resonance too.
Don't understand that D ...
Malcolm was a force of @#$%G Nature. He is proof that simple stuff can kill.
absolute facts!
Such a true comment. Long Live Malcolm
It’s Brian Young
I can’t take this dude seriously looking that
Miss Malcolm, he was the engine.
Jr. Rock! They only wrote one song changed it up & made millions. 🥱🥱💤💤💤 proving that u don't have to make art to make money!!
A woefully inane comment.
Stupid comment
