    The entire Powerage album is full of underrated bangers. Riff Raff, Sin City, Down Payment Blues and Gimme A Bullet to name a few.

    • @duanefromjustice316

      Gone Shootin' slaps as well.

      So true, such a great album. And what an intro: Rock and Roll Damnation --> Down Payment Blues ---> Gimme a Bullet, incredible songs, massively underrated

    • @skullyferguson1331

    The live version of Riff Raff (first track on If You Want Blood You’ve Got It) is one of Angus’ best performances 🤘

  • @georgeprice4212
    @georgeprice4212 Год назад +18

    It’s a bit of a nod to Fleetwood Mac’s “Oh Well” opening riff, which I didn’t notice until a few years ago.

    • @Stormwoken
      @Stormwoken Год назад

      Definitely. When I heard this one played, I thought "Why is he playing a Fleetwood Mac riff?"

    • @rickwright3000

    Let’s Get It Up is an underrated riff by AC/DC. Simple yet effective.

  • @logangrzesiek8749
    @logangrzesiek8749 Год назад +46

    Great riff, thanks for the breakdown. In my eyes, "Ride On" is the most underrated AC/DC song, as a whole - maybe classic rock song ever, even. Cheers!

    • @mcmillanalex
      @mcmillanalex Год назад +1

      Yep, 100% agree with you!

    • @cinamynj
      @cinamynj Год назад +1

      I just took a listen, that's a fantastic song! Not what I expected.
      I like how clear Angus playing is in this, that vibrato is so killer

    • @odgeUK
      @odgeUK Год назад

      One of Angus’s finest solos

    • @kevinoconnor2921
      @kevinoconnor2921 Год назад

      Never attempted to learning it until a GIRL asked me to teach it to her. Great song! One had better tap their foot to stay in time. It's slow, and timing is key.

    • @croadicep
      @croadicep Год назад

      "Squealer" takes the cake in my opinion.. Angus went WILD on that song. Best and most underrated classic rock song ever. "Ride On" is very calm and melancholic as well though.

  • @laurencehastings7473
    @laurencehastings7473 Год назад +7

    Sounds very much like the Peter Green intro on Fleetwood Mac's 'Oh Well'

    • @Ryanconnollytrom

      I read somewhere that Malcolm got his inspiration from that song

  • @christopherguzzi1316

    Great riff, in keeping with "Oh Well" and "Walk This Way".

  • @jonahguitarguy
    @jonahguitarguy Год назад +3

    Criminally close to Peter Green’s Oh Well. Great riff regardless

  • @peteryelverton2954
    @peteryelverton2954 Год назад +7

    Powerage is a great album. The VH1 live version of "Gone Shootin" is just phenomenal.

  • @papawoody9597
    @papawoody9597 Год назад +7

    Angus and Malcom are responsible for some of the greatest riffs of all time. Riff Raff, Dirty Deeds, TNT, Whole Lotta Rosie, Long Way to the Top, Jailbreak, the list just goes on.

  • @brokennose2681
    @brokennose2681 Год назад +5

    First album I heard was Powerage. My uncle cued up Down Payment Blues and I was hooked. I often use this riff as a warm up because it incorporates more than one technique. Your spot on with the upward picked note.

  • @Sean_Plays_Guitar

  • @onewiththings
    @onewiththings Год назад +1

  • @FrMn5150
    @FrMn5150 Год назад +4

    Landslide off of Flick of the switch is the most underrated song and riff in their entire catalogue , they go flat out from the start and a killer solo too .

  • @stanesposito2664

    @tblx2675 Год назад +2

    Had tix for AC/DC given to me for X-mas. They announced after tickets were out that Axl was taking the lead vocals. I was skeptical having heard some of his more recent live performances in what was that current line-up of GnR (no Slash, no Duff). From the opening track they (Axl included) killed it. They had a good dosage of the Bon Scott era (Rock and Roll Damnation, Hell Ain’t a Bad Place to Be, Live Wire, Sin City, Rosie..to name a few). Riff Raff in the encore between Hells Bells and For Those About to Rock. I wasn’t able to see Brian Johnson (or Malcom) but that was a straight up ass kicking rock and roll show full of killer AC/DC riffage. 🤘🏼

  • @JimHabash
    @JimHabash Год назад +1

    Perfect riff to pick. Robert, I'd LOVE to hear you cover the opening Jimmy Page lick for the solo on I'm gonna crawl. Just the first part of it, you know before he goes off. That walk up then those Pagey pulloffs, I so enjoy trying to attempt the beginning of the solo. Just for fun.

  • @kkrekula
    @kkrekula Год назад +6

    One of my favorite riffs from the Highway to Hell album - don't understand why they did not play it live more...

  • @Guitar387
    @Guitar387 Год назад +1

    I’ve been an AC/DC fan since I was 15 in 1990. And that is probably one of the only very few guitar riffs I don’t think I have tried to play. It is absolutely excellent and I am playing it now following your lesson thank you

  • @fonagel
    @fonagel 8 месяцев назад

    As a Blueser I always loved this song. They never play(ed) it live ever since. Very close to Oh Well from Peter Green but the flat 5th note (Bb) does the trick here. I never played it really round. So the correct picking seems to me like an eye opener. Thanks!

  • @Guitar387
    @Guitar387 Год назад

    I’m going to buy your Angus young course. I’ve been playing since 1990. And not too bad , but I have a full time job so haven’t got time to work this out for myself , even though I could with time. But I don’t have time on my hands anymore , so I’ll buy it. I’m fed up with trying to play like eric Johnson ,I could play cliffs of Dover pretty well at one point with a mixture of alternate picking and economy up to speed and clean but it takes practice every day to keep that level up , and I can’t keep it up due to lack of time in my life. .. I’m not having fun on guitar anymore . But AC DC when I was playing it at 15 years old I had fun and that’s what guitar should be , fun !

  • @owenthomas1045

    I remember trying to learn this riff from a tab around 20 years ago. Man only like 6 years ago I had the idea to start on an upstroke. It kinda worked from this point on but I still lack the rocknroll feel.

    If I could choose anything for you to look at, I'd like to see Shot In The Dark or Realize solo. Angus is doing more sort of chordal solos in these songs.

  • @jessejordache1869
    @jessejordache1869 Год назад

    Opening with a downpick is also counter to the rhythm, which is, to use a fancy word, iambic. Or to put it another way, if you only play the second beats, you get the melody. If you only play the first beats, you get the harmony or the root note. That's a big clue that you start on the up pick.

    Direct steal from Peter Green's "OH Well" with the original Fleetwood Mac. He started the riff with an upstroke, and also picked every note.
