People say AC/DC only uses a few chords - but try and play theyre songs right - they are the absolute masters at what they do - dont just think you strum an A chord - and you are playing AC/DC.
@@Studio33guitar Playing guitar for 16 years - and pretty much studying AC/DC and Malcolms rhythm guitar playing for the same time - no disrespect to you guys - but even after 16 yrs studying Malcolms playing - I am still finding stuff that I am doing incorrectly - Malcolm Young was one of the best rhythm guitarists of all time in my opinion!
100%! There’s nuances there in his playing that are very difficult to replicate! That’s one of the great things about guitar, you can never learn it all!
Same with the drums. Any dickhead can play a 4/4 beat on a drum kit, but no one does it with the feel and groove of Phil Rudd. AC/DC is absolutely not the same without him and i refuse to see them live if Phil is not on the skins
Angus and Malcolm (RIP MALCOLM) was the gods of easy chords and songs. I learn a lot of the AC/DC songs and after 25 years of my guitar experience i still don't know how they made those magic. That only knows Angus, Malcolm take those skills to grave, and now he shows it in heaven. Great Content and great backing track. Forever AC/DC. Greetings from frozen Poland.
Playing guitar for over 30+ years I always find it great to find channels like this that give great tips to beginners, but it's also the concise knowledge you have -- it's about having an ear for it. some of these songs you mentioned i'd played years ago in cover bands and would often opt for the power chord version by either being sloppy or just doing my own versions, it's good you do a great thorough take on some of these chords. Also love the tone, reminds me of bars in the 80's. Great stuff helping those about to rock \m/
The E chord does include a g#, certainly as Mal played it, use the old fashioned 1st position open E and strum strings 6 through 3, as evidenced in Jailbreak and lots of other songs with that chord in there. Angus might play the E as presented here but Angus and Mal often had different parts.
What a fantastic lesson. I typically shun videos that get into the weeds because "I just want to play". If you think that's a lousy way to progress as a guitarist, you're right! But the tips here on how to voice these chords so that they ring out are just what I needed for a bunch of songs, not just AC/DC songs. Thanks for taking my playing up a notch Studio33!
Been learning for a year struggling not to mute notes whilst forming chords this is far easier I’ve gone from terrible to not so terrible thanks for the lesson.

I just found your channel, and so glad I did . I really like the way you explain every thing with tabs and tracks , thanks so much I really liked the lesson on how to look at the pentatonic scale different
Great video! The G chord reminded me of when I had a handful of lessons with Gizz Butt in the mid 90s, I'd been pretty much taught loads of punk songs from the early 80s, and had a guitar case chord book with the fingerings for 'open chords' and the G was obviously the 'traditional ' fingering, Gizz showed me your "AC/DC" version and it sounded so much better! !! I loved AC/DC from my early teens (1980 onwards) up to For Those About To Rock...after that I kinda lost interest in the newer stuff...in 1979 I totally fell in love with the Pretenders, James Honeyman -Scott was a phenomenal guitar melody beast! I'm now going to watch more of your AC/DC videos....thank you for uploading this!
Thank you! That small change with these chords makes all the difference! I’m not familiar with Gizz Butt, but I Googled him. He’s a great player! Are you from England?

Less is more wen it comes to acdc....but there are a few tuffer ones like beating around the bush,riff raff,landslide,and i like playing the hony roll alot too!!
Hello I'm a beginner. I purchased the book AC/DC. Do you have a video the song Hell not a bad place to be. Can y do a video for beginners how to play this song? Thanks
Good video but your using the wrong fingers when playing the G chord so going from a G to a C your fingers wont move as smoothly and fast You should play the G chord using the 2end 3rd and pinky as that's the correct method , if your going to add a D you can bar the 2nd and 1st string with your pinky , It dose take more time to learn to do it correctly but once you do you will play faster and less slopy as all your fingers are lined up perfectly without having to reposition Plus if you play a G incorrectly you wont be able to go from a G to a G7 or a G with an added C
"Back in Black:" I always add the C#, 5th string, 4th fret to the "A" chord b/c I swear I hear it in the mix. I don't know if it's Angus or Malcolm, but I swear it's there.
I learned in another video that AC/DC don't play full chords, they only play the power chords and leave the major 3rd to Cliff on bass. It's one of the reasons their songs sound so cool. To see what I mean search up "the bass player of AC/DC was a genius" here on youtube
@@Studio33guitar Yeah. I grew up with classic rock. I also enjoy blues but for now have been focusing my learning on classic rock. I’m doing structured training of course but like to have little side “projects” for fun. Almost always AC/DC 🤣. Thanks so much for sharing this style of power chords.
Thank you Studio 33Guitar for a great video lesson I have been playing guitar almost 40 years now and I love the way you explained the subtle bairly recognizable differences in the way the cords are played . That gives the beginners a ton of knowledge and a big jumpstart on playing some kick ass ROCK N ROLL. This is BUDDY SPAZZMAN saying THANK YOU & KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK PEACE AND LOVE MY FRIEND.
Thank you for excellent video lesson. It's a shame there is no consistency amongst different teachers. Everyone has it's own definition of different Chords. As a beginner I have learnt that A chord is Pointing finger on the D string 2nd fret, only to find out today that it also must have Middle finger on G string on the 2nd fret....
You mean power chord? I'm not a guitarist but I guess you could play A-E or A-E-A. Musically it's the same notes just the harmonics might be a tad different because there's additional A sitting in another octave. G string 2nd fret is just another way of playing A and D string 2nd fret is just another way of playing E.
@@Studio33guitar Oh no, I just thought it was worth mentioning because you can use that as a G in many AC/DC style songs. The TNT riff in particular, in certain parts of the song. 🙂
Thanks for watching! This video is in E Standard tuning. AC/DC did use E flat tuning for some songs (and Live). Also some songs were recorded “slightly” off tune
I've been playing guitar for a loooong time, but I still can't get a grip on the exact A chord in "Fly on the wall"!?? Not that A chord in the beginning, but the one after " Da , da, da, da" .. If that made any sense! 😂Anyone know the right way to play it?
@@Studio33guitar I’m a extreme AC/DC FAN. I made t-shirts with their songs on them in the early 80s. I worked swing shift. And hung out with friend late at night. They called The Night Prowler.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. It is fun to play their music. Like the day I learned to do the lead on Thunderstruck.
Hows that SG sound playing Thrash Metal or just straight Metal ? Have always liked them but been wanting a cheap V to Mod . If you know of affordable V shaped guitars please comment me back links ect. Mucho Appreciate it !!
I don't play much metal, so I wouldn't be able to give you an honest opinion about that, but it sure does ACDC well! For V's, the Epiphone flying V is a great one!
@@Studio33guitar What can I say, ... Unfortunately, for health reasons, I can no longer pursue my lifelong passion as a brass player: that was the trombone during my youth and my secret love for the flugelhorn in my older years. So I decided to learn a practical little plucked instrument. After my covid-19 infection, I'm just starting to learn the ukulele. I won't play in a band like I used to. As a 61-year-old complete beginner, I will be content with playing a few accords on "the lute" on social occasions. If, hopefully, the first "successes" or, to put it better, skills in strumming will appear soon, I'll try to loop a little.
In order to play guitar like Ac/Dc, you have to be 4 feet 6 inches "tall", with Scottish DNA & an Australian upbringing. Pete Townshend wrote an awful lot of songs featuring the same chords Ac/Dc use all the time, A/G/D, but his stuff sounds very different because he's 6 feet tall & English. I'm bloody well not going to tell you what you have to do in order to sing like Bon Scott (rutting weasels are involved). "I'm sick and tired of hearing people say we made 17 albums that all sound the same. That's bullshit. We made 18 albums that all sound the same."---Angus Young.
Thanks for the comment! AC/DC is well known for playing straight into the amp without pedals. However a little reverb is definitely added in the studio on the recordings.
A lot of this is good...but it's not exactly how Angus plays these. Particularly the C and sometimes he uses that full G for a rounder sound and then goes to the G with the 3rd removed (Shook me). Some nuances there. Watch it up close. ruclips.net/video/RZk39K5T-5M/видео.html
Thanks for the comment! Yes, you’re right, the theory is the same as a power chord (Root and 5th) but it’s different than a traditional power chord which is often played more like a barre chord. Also the doubling of some of the notes in the high end gives it the clarity you need for this sound! Thanks for watching!
@@Studio33guitar I am pretty experienced but just pointing out that removing the 3rd gives the chord a more powerful sound. Also the third creates some overtones and harmonics. Depends on where you play it on the neck too.

Thanks for the comment! AC/DC is well known for playing straight into the amp without pedals. However a little reverb is definitely added in the studio on the recordings.
@@Studio33guitar Ok. Thank you, for the information!!!
Thanks for watching!
I always play the G chord like that not only because I like the sound but mostly because I'm lazy with my fingerings.
Well that works out well for AC/DC! Thanks for watching! How long have you been playing guitar
@@Studio33guitar haha true. I've been noodling for years but I wouldn't call myself a guitar player. I'm not very good.
Keep working on it!
Your key of A backing video is unavailable? 😢
Thanks for letting me know. I’ll have to fix that link. This link should work-

Slower at 0.75 normal speed would be easier pour moi!
You can slow down the video all the way to 0.25 if you click on the little gear icon on the bottom right!
Fell asleep
howdy 🤠
Hi! Thanks for watching!
A lot of this is good...but it's not exactly how Angus plays these. Particularly the C and sometimes he uses that full G for a rounder sound and then goes to the G with the 3rd removed (Shook me). Some nuances there. Watch it up close. ruclips.net/video/RZk39K5T-5M/видео.html
You forgot D/F# it's in bookoos of acdc songs lol
You’re absolutely right! D/F# is an important one too! How long have you been playing guitar?
Excuse me the fans but IMO Bon Scott left us and took the band' s OS with him to hell, their versatility has gone ever since BIB
You're not a fan of the more recent stuff?
So basically power chords
Thanks for the comment! Yes, you’re right, the theory is the same as a power chord (Root and 5th) but it’s different than a traditional power chord which is often played more like a barre chord. Also the doubling of some of the notes in the high end gives it the clarity you need for this sound! Thanks for watching!
@@Studio33guitar I am pretty experienced but just pointing out that removing the 3rd gives the chord a more powerful sound. Also the third creates some overtones and harmonics. Depends on where you play it on the neck too.
turn the gain down.. way down
Did I get a little carried away? Haha
