    AC/DC was my very first concert at the age of 15. 1978 - Hammersmith Odeon, Front row of the stalls, Angus trod on my hand. School was a warm fuzz to my ears in the morning, couldn't hear the teachers, didn't care! I had just seen the greatest ever rock n roll band, and it was my first gig!! RIP Malcolm.

    The solo in ride on just shows how great a player Angus is. Never over playing as shred heads do but just pure taste and style.

      Squealer is my personal favourite Angus solo, also a fine example. Actually it’s probably my favourite AC/DC song. The way it starts and then the whole build up to the solo, it’s just magic.

    It's funny, some 30-odd years later to realize what an influence Malcolm Young and Ace Frehley had on me, not just as a greasy-faced teenager but really shaping what I loved in music for the rest of my life to come. Thank you for this video - I had to grab my guitar and play along with Ride On the second you started it...

    AC/DC is one of the greatest rock bands and most durable...They were very relevant and making albums for at least 40 years.

  • @barryhaynes103
    @barryhaynes103 4 года назад +30

    That was exceptional ... you absolutely nailed the AC/DC guitar tones ... I mean nailed it !!! ... 40 + years of hard hitting, in your face, loud screaming guitar and not a single ballad, power ballad, or acoustic guitar to be found ... AC/DC found something that worked and those who heard it responded with resounding approval ... up the irons !!! ...

    • @adamwarlock5286
      @adamwarlock5286 3 года назад +1

      Intro to "rock n roll ain't noise pollution" ? Sure they are obviously a Hard rock act but to say that DC don't use acoustics implies there is no dynamic at work in their songs as there is a tone of light and shade in their songs.

    One thing to consider are the perfectly metered rests in AC/DC songs. Knowing when not to play, and for how long, is just as important to get that groove.

  • @luisvillarreal5262
    @luisvillarreal5262 4 года назад +17

    I agree David. Malcolm was the driving force. His chord rhythms were powerful and unmistakable. Back when I first heard them in the early 80's, It was Angus that took the spotlight with his headbanging in schoolboy uniform. Didn't realize just how much Malcolm contributed to the Aka-Daka sound LOL. That Gretsch guitar though. I remember thinking to myself, why that guitar and not a Flying V, a Les Paul or an Explorer. Something that looks cool like his brother Angus' guitar. Of course, when I was younger, looks were more important. As I got older, it was like: I get it now. It's all in the tone and how comfortable the guitar feels, and etc. Malcolm new what he was doing obviously. What a monster of a rhythm guitarist he was. R.I.P. Malcolm Young. Great lesson David. \m/

    • @danburton8067
      @danburton8067 4 года назад +1

      Absolutely. I've actually got an Epiphone les Paul that resonates amazingly, I'm planning to put a set of filtertrons in it when I have the moolah to spare. I reckon it will sound incredible.

    • @luisvillarreal5262
      @luisvillarreal5262 2 года назад

      @@danburton8067 Sounds like a great plan. I hope it works out for you. I have several electrics including a Cherry red Epiphone SG Pro with Alnico pickups and it sounds great. I have a cheap Fender Affinity Squire Strat a friend gave me. I modified it. I took out the single coil bridge pickup and installed a Dimarzio Made in USA humbucker that a friend gave me, in the mid 80’s. Now it’s a Super Strat and it sounds killer for an El Cheapo. 😂

    🍺’ski I know what it is about AC/DC. The Young Brothers write iconic riffs no different than legends like Iommi, Page etc.
    They both wrote simple legendary riffs that’ll last for eternity.
    Finally somebody find me a better rock rhythm guitarist than Malcolm & also find a vibrato more wicked than Angus. Not gonna happen. Just badass music. 🤘 Rock on 🍺’ski!

  • @danishskiwarehouse
    @danishskiwarehouse 4 года назад +16

    I really enjoyed this - thank you! I’d never thought about Mal’s thumb-muting before and it’s a great insight.
    I feel you will appreciate the following:
    1. Mal and Angus were heavily influenced by their older brother George who was in an earlier Australian band called The Easybeats. George told them that the 3rd in a chord had no place in rock, which goes some way to explaining their love of power chords.
    2. Having said that, some of their classics do have the 3rd, such as the F# low note in the D of Highway to Hell. In fact, in the opening chords of Live Wire, you can hear Mal play the G# of the E chord if you listen carefully.
    3. I had the great fortune of meeting Mal once. I shook his hand and could not get over how strong his right (strumming) hand was. Despite being only 5’ 2”, he was a beast!
    4. Gretsch Jet Firebirds (Mal’s trusty guitar) have hollowed internal chambers so are much lighter than Les Pauls, in a sense making them hollow bodied guitars. Not many people realise that Pete Townshend used a Gretsch 6120 - big Chet Atkins hollow body - on “Who’s Next” and “Quadrophenia”. Many people consider these signature The Who sounding guitar tracks. Gretsch hollow bodies have a bell-like ringing to them and I’m sure you picked up on that when you cited Mal’s being influenced by Pete Townshend. (In fact I wonder if that’s why Mal used a White Falcon on the “Back in Black” tour before a guitar tech buggered it up.)
    You’ve got an excellent ear, and I think this video pays great tribute to a great man. Thanks!

      Mal was given a Gretch by Harry Vanda, George Young's writing partner in The Easybeats. He felt sorry for the young lad not having a good guitar to practice with.

    Malcolm was a genius chord arranger,like you said...really primal,simplistic....but perfect for the songs. The engine that drove AC/DC. Thank you sir!! Loudest concert I've ever heard. AC/DC Highway to Hell was my first concert in 1979. Bon passed soon after. Great show!!

    You're absolutely right about Malcolm's importance to the band, when I was a kid, it was always about Angus, but now that I'm older I've learned the intricacies of his playing abilities and style, that holds everything together for the band, I really appreciated watching and "trying" to learn some of his techniques, great video!👍🤘

    This really nails the idea of the "sound" coming from the player's hands. Sure, the guitar and amp tones are important but the playing style is what makes the listener immediately say, that sounds just like AC/DC. Bravo!

  • @michaeloberhofer7183
    @michaeloberhofer7183 4 года назад +3

    I was a huge fan of AC/DC in the early days. I saw them with the immortal ‘Sharpie’, Bon Scott a couple of times. The 2nd was a big outdoor show opening for the amazing ‘Skyhooks’, Australia’s #1 act in the mid-late ‘70s. (Should’ve busted the US market, but suffered from comparisons to KISS, who they were NOTHING like). Acka-Dacka as we nicknamed them, were a kick-ass live band, & were taking over as our biggest act, when they went on a UK trip, without a lot of supervision. Then one day, the 6 O’clock news opened with the bombshell that Bon had died of the bad behaviour he’d become famous for. It was a real shock. Not that he was a guy of healthy habits, but we didn’t think he could die. We did, however, think that Ac/Dc were dead. There was no life after Bon.
    “Sharpie” girls were still adding ‘RIP Bon’ to their ‘Connie’ vests when we heard that Acka Dacka had replaced Scott with another scot. Then we heard “You shook me...”. Great riff, here we go... & that was the end.
    This screeching falsetto was nothing like ACDC! There was nothing of the sinister, growling, tone of classics like “Dirty Deeds” or the solid angry storytelling of the great “Jailbreak”. All the twisted humour, like someone down the pub telling dirty jokes, was replaced by high-pitched caterwauling which was clean & accomplished, but traded away the hard-edged narrative of Bon for a far more familiar & commercial sound. Not that our views were interesting to anybody, this new band was making piles of cash due to American interest, & are still going strong 40 years later.

  • @barryhallam1628
    @barryhallam1628 4 года назад +3

    There have been many clips of each of these two lads - Malcolm and Angus, talking about each other , and never once did either one not acknowledge the others unique talent. Whilst Angus would always praise his older brother for coming up with the driving riffs, even on songs Angus had himself written, I remember Malcolm saying on camera about Angus, some day folks will realise just how good he is. An almost unusual sibling empathy. Whilst Bon Scott's replacement in Brian has been excellent, I truly believe that despite the talents of the Young boys, without Bon, there would never have been the AC/DC we've revered since 1976.

Songs like Walk All Over You and You Shook Me All Night Long showed me the way.

    Man, I sorta can't believe I've only recently found this channel (to be fair I didn't really find any channels before 2020). But catching up on all these amazing episodes has become my favorite downtime jam. Morning coffee or night-time watching, doesn't matter. It's always like, the best kind of awesome music breakdowns and geeking out on music history content on the interwebz. AC/DC is one of those bands that you love as a kid and they only get more exciting and interesting as you grow up and realize how hard it is to play all those songs the casual listener might seem simple chord structure-wise. I agree with all the statements about Malcom, but I think everyone from Rudd's drumming, both bassists, and both Malcom and Angus all had just killer-insane meter n rhythm chops. So tight, and just so rock and roll. Sure, a lot of similar structures, but the way they serve everything, that primal heartbeat. It sounds like it should be easy but it's so, so, so hard to get even close. Thanks again for the killer content.

    What a lot of people out there don't realize is that AC/DC was not playing rock music in the same way as their 70s classic rock and 80s hard rock contemporaries were doing. AC/DC is really a 1950s rock band revved up. Everything Malcolm played had that 50s-ish Scotty Moore/Eddie Cochrane type of rockabilly vibe and Angus as a soloist came with it straight out of Chuck Berry's playbook. It's 1950s rock and roll played louder. Great lesson by the way.

    @SketchEtcher 3 года назад

    I think what makes AC/DC guitar so great is just the tone. They let the tone breath and the voltage rock through those tubes. It’s hard not to love their songs because the tone is just so good. But, I never cared to play their music as a drummer because my mind starts wandering (look-a dead fly!) because I didn’t feel challenged enough. I’m not sure if I could stand playing their guitars parts, but I think so, as long as the tone was good.

    Malcolm passed quickly after the public had learned of his health problems, seems like one I heard he had dementia and it wasn't what seemed only a few weeks till he passed. Malcolm was the heart and soul of AC/DC.

    Let's Get It Up!. The draw is the pause in the drum riffs. And of course the no frills hard driving guitars.

    Another great vid. I was just re-watching your vids on modes and I thought it would be great if you made a lesson on modal chord progressions to get a flip side to the scales. It would really help me out and prob a bunch of other ppl too. It's been a while since I commented, but it doesn't mean I haven't been keeping up with the great lessons on this channel. Thanks David !

    Could you make a video with the amp settings to ACDC? Greetings from Berlin Germany...Rock On

    The 'open' chords do allow for some great natural sustain that only excites a good amp set right like we all wished every chord could ring, it is that I think. That tendency, that we guitarists often do enjoy for the natural sustain w/o all the extra distortion or overdriven gain on an amp can so often make for some great tunage. And that natural sustain of the open position chords that can be achieved had to influence many bands attempts and quest for infinite sustain on at least power chords whereby the backing rhythm chord is approaching two measures or more at times behind the bass, drums and vocals with perhaps intermittent lead licks interjected ala in line with the blues style of lead licks to finish a lyrical line off with before the next.
    Oh and hey concurr with the Max OD movie summary. It's both a bad flick and cool by virtue of AC/DC.
    Nice ChordPlay! Ride on! 😎
