I'm a 62 year old blues rocker who's just having a blast learning stuff I should have learned years ago. My vocabulary is expanding rapidly....just in time for retirement!
Tim you really take the time to explain stuff. Most people on youtube just rush through things without any explanation. But you really are the real deal and a pleasure to watch. Thank you.
I’m liking this new series of basic 60/ 70s classic rock songs. Sometimes your lessons are just too advanced for the common man. We need a bit more of this
For those that listen to this song indepthly, Tim is one of a very few who nail that angus "simple" run down in the main riff, g,e,D,b,a,g,D.....listen to it hard,,,, it almost sounds like 2 guitars
You are not only a consummate player but a terrific teacher as well. Thank you for this detailed lesson. I wish there was teaching like this when I started out.
It's such a demanding piece to play, and as Angus says, he and Malcolm (RIP) are 'little blokes', so how they manage to stretch their fingers to play those riffs when an uber pro like Tim even has trouble is quite brilliant; and especially Angus doing it while jumping around maniacally!! Incredible musicians and guitarists.
Hey, Mr. Pierce. This is really fantastic. Just the information about which strings NOT to let sound apply to so, so many tunes. Also, the bonus lesson on your site is worth its weight in gold. Thank you, both for all the great music and for being such a fantastic, generous teacher. Cheers!
Brilliant , as a intermediate player I thought I had this in the bag but watch all the little nuances you show made me think otherwise. We are lucky to have you share your knowledge, thank you sir.
Tim....I once thanked Marty, ( he did a gig in n.y ) for introducing you to us...and I still feel the same....thanks for these awesome in depth lessons.....!...just fantastic!
Dude, I learned this from ear about 100 years ago and play it exactly the same way you do. I still get my timing messed up on the intro pull off part 3-0 3-0 2-0 every time. Playing along with the record I have no problem with it, Haha. I love your style, approach, and to make it simple as possible. You are the BEST Guitarist Rick Springfield had, hands down. Ahead of your time in playing his stuff live. My wife has Ricks video "Beat of the live Drum" Which she watches all the time. (2nd or 3rd copy I think). I use full sounding chords too. Watching this video gives me more to discover. You are great and need more recognition, and in my top 10 favorites. I'm mostly rhythm, but good at it, Haha. Thank you for the share, and lesson.
Recent subscriber here. love the concise but honest instruction. Have played for 35 years and lots of paid bands but have never been able to play the first lick of the loop right. lol. I was overthinking it. This helped me understand it. Very true about the walk up part on verse, a large stretch, best to slide into last to E5. Great song selection also. thanks!
Fantastic lesson and superb playing. Beginners want to play this and get a very rude awakening on AC/DC’s subtleties and brilliant rhythm that isn’t as easy as they thought.
Hi Tim. Love the way you teach the guitar parts of the song.This was the first song I learned to play on the guitar and again you teach every detail and posible ways of performing it in a great way. :-)
Dear Tim, thanks for this great lesson. I follow all your contributions and feel that they really help to improve my playing. I am playing Keyboards since I was 7, so for me is kind of hard to switch without taking lessons. I more or less got stuck since 1998 :-) but now there is really some progress so I am confident to play some tunes with guitar on stage with our cover band. I like your seamless versatile playing of different styles. Thanks again and greetings from Bavaria, it's near Germany ;-)
Thank Tim, teaching myself guitar with the help of your channel and the way you break the song down finger position wise and ACDC with their classic rock and challenging fingering and chords. Best regards Shannon York NS Canada
Wow, I just watched the other vid of alternate solo's, they all just flow. So effortlessly cool. You need to be medicated..... Clearly! Thanks for the great vids
Hi Tim thank you for taking the time to put these great videos on RUclips I thank for not putting beginners or intermediates down at the beginning of your videos and what you do is make people fill anything is possible learning should be fun and you do that........I'm new to electric and your videos make me want keep practicing. ...
Your lessons are spot on, Tim! I've learned so much from watching you and how I play has improved over the best several months because of these videos!
That E chord at the beginning has been used in that manner in tons of songs. I thought of the Car's Just what you needed. Or the Who's Can't explain or the Kink's Girl you really got me going.
Tim thanks for showing how you slide up the E string, Before I had a hard time making it sound clean, my fingers are not that long either so I started cheating by playing frets on the low E 7 to 4, 7 to 5, 7 to 6 then ending on a double 7 before sliding down to a power E cord before this lesson. Your the man Thanks again
I only recently started watching your videos. Great job. It's good to know that some of the stuff I learned on my own is actually correct. Your very good. Great job!
I'm loving your Channel Tim. I recently "discovered" I've been listening to you for 30 years or so... Great work. Love the details, finally got the little "things" I had overlooked in your "La Grange Lesson". Thanks Man. Great Tone ! (but you already know that) ;)
You're a fantastic teacher Tim! Seems like a simple song but there's still some challenging parts that will push me! Thanks for taking the time to do this video!
thank you so so much. That piece is quite demanding in terms of speed. but as you said if you practice everyday you'll get to it. today is the 3th day and I'm almost there =) it is so satisfying subscribed

Phillip Wooddell dont worry, ahem, I DID
Phillip Wooddell I asked myself
Phillip Wooddell well did anybody ask you to ask me to ask myself?
Phillip Wooddell ok fine >:(
@@phillipwooddell1875 your head hurts because you have no point your just saying dumb stuff
Tim you really take the time to explain stuff. Most people on youtube just rush through things without any explanation. But you really are the real deal and a pleasure to watch. Thank you.
Tim - your solo cadence is just tremendous. You bring a certain "swagger" to the song. Really impressive.
The solo starting at 0:21 is just so beautiful, so musical. Amazing.
One hell of a tone, one hell of a player.
the tone is shitfest
we are so lucky to have you...you share unconditionally and with joy... Thank you! I know will probably never see this since I'm five years late!
I’m liking this new series of basic 60/ 70s classic rock songs. Sometimes your lessons are just too advanced for the common man. We need a bit more of this
Thanks Tim,that was very detailed and simplified.
Glad it was helpful!
You are the man, Tim! Love your stuff!
Thanks! :) #back-in-black
wow, my world of black and light collide
Tim Pierce is such a legend.
***** Thanks so much! :) #back-in-black
"I think they wrote this to show everyone who's Boss." LOL - yeah - so true, Tim. And can be said for that entire Album.
Thanks Tim. I have been watching your videos for a while, and love the way you teach. Keep them coming please!
Will do :) Thanks! #back-in-black

Thank you for this detailed lesson. I wish there was teaching like this
when I started out.
Love your stuff! It's awesome learning from such a developed guitarist.
John Williams Thanks John! ;) #back-in-black
The man just SMOKES Angus on the intro...💪🔥💪
It's amazing how seamlessly Tim's pick changes color from Yellow to Grey to Purple in this video. Great lesson love it!
Missed ya, Tim! Happy to see the black beauty in action again
Tate Miller Thanks Tate! :) #back-in-black

That's my dream guitar! One day.. one day probably never come.

Hands down, best lesson on this song I've seen. Thanks!
Ditto!
Great tips from Tim pierce , this guy really knows his stuff
Very nice Tim! AC/DC is killer to teach and learn how to play the guitar! It’s challenging for the experienced and inspiring for the beginner !

Brings back memories of Day on the Green in San Francisco in the 80s! Thanks for another great lesson.
M DA Thanks so much! #back-in-black
Thanks Tim. I'm sure like others, I'll be coming back to visit you again, and again, and some more. You help a lot.
Thanks very much Tim for taking the time to help us all get better!!
Happy you like it thanks! :) #back-in-black
For those about to Rock 🎸🤟🏼 We Salute You 🤙🏼 ....Not surprised if I find out Tim put down some guitar parts on AC/DC tracks
Fantastic lesson and superb playing. Beginners want to play this and get a very rude awakening on AC/DC’s subtleties and brilliant rhythm that isn’t as easy as they thought.
Your teaching is just so clear. Thank you.
Thanks Tim! This was a great lesson! I play drums and now can play this on the guitar too! Thanks again!!!
You are a fantastic guitar player and teacher, Tim.
Thank you!
Tim I love the way you gracefully flow over the fret board 🤟🏽

Great stuff. It just goes to show Malcolm Young's genius as a rhythm player. The ringing open strings just make it sound all the better.
A truly iconic tune. Great lesson.

Nice breakdown Tim. Thanks for the tips, especially “make it your own". We all play a little different and are at different skill levels.
What a GREAT lesson - thank you. And please do a beginner's and intermediate course for those of us who need instruction of this quality!
I'm in love with the Gibson 😍😍😍😍😍
Just love the ac/dc chords. So meaty and chunky.
