    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!

      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.

    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!

      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.

    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

    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).
