I completely agree with you on Angus, it's his high energy, fast yet so melodic playing that got me hooked as a kid on rock when my dad played it. Still makes my heart beat faster
long ago I read in a Guitar mag of James Hetfield interview. Early 90’s. He said that the space between the notes is the most important sound never made. Angus use of the Pentatonic is the most tasteful for sure.,his timing, phrasing and silence between notes is what makes him such a Guitar god. Great vid
Angus and Malcolm were amazing together. AC/DC probably had one of the strongest rhythm sections out of a lot of bands back then. I am a Bon Scott fan more than Brian. but they still kicked a$$ when I saw them back in 2000.
I love that when Bon was in primary school there were 2 kids called Ron, so the teacher decided to call one Bon! The rest is history RIP to one of the greatest ever
On Soul stripper both malcom and angus tear it up ..in 1974! Then sometime in 76 they did ride on ..and there both killer in there own way ..much different then most of there catalog Ride on!!!!
I once read an interview with Angus in Guitar World Magazine, where he said that reason he looks like he’s spazzing out while he plays is because he’s so small. He has to put his whole body into it when he plays. He’ll bend a note but he can’t bend it as far as it needs to go unless he shakes his leg, or throw his head back. He has to do a tuff like that through the whole show. That’s why he’s the hardest working man in Rock & Roll.
Back in Black is a great album to pick up all kinds of fundamental rock and roll licks and techniques. Every song is fun to play, it’s challenging enough for beginner/intermediate players but not so much that it’s frustrating, the lead phrasing is very nice… it’s great stuff. Angus’ vibrato is among my favorites of any player. I wore the entire album out in my early days as a player way back in the 1980s.
I like AC/DC, but I LOVE Angus Young!!! One of my absolute favorite rock and roll guitarists ever. All I need to hear is that vibrato and I"m sold. Nice job on your vibrato by the way!
That's my favorite AC/DC lick from a solo. You played and I couldn't believe it. I'd subscribe again if I wasn't already subscribed. Angus is very melodic. Randy Rhodes always struck me as really fast, technical and melodic at the same time.
I like nerding out with you on your show man. Good video. I like that something doesn't have to contain formidable technical prowess to be a good guitar lick. Thanks man
@Bad Boys Boogie young is a basis chord player 3 and 4 Chord player you buy one Album you basically now have them all go learn how to play guitar son you're not going to BS me
@Bad Boys Boogie angus is literally copied by every guitarist because he is generic. Only his energy can’t be matched but his playing is straight blues nothing new. Especially the new album sounds exactly like the last 5 couple songs are different but it’s still pentatonic.
@@flatstheflounder9874 agreed but to reach the level of status of angus you gotta be a likeable person to keep shoving the same album down peoples throats for 40yrs yet you have bands like Metallica who are far more advanced and branched away to more technical songwriting but gets hatred. Now that’s insanity
Happy new year Rob, Angus he is a master. I love messing around Angus lead licks, but even more on sitting back doing Malcolm style riffs. All the best mate.
My wife and daughters usually control the play list. When I get to choose I play old AC/DC or black sabbath and enjoy watching the girls reactions to the first time hearing it.
Super awesome. Totally agree. When I was a kid if someone said "Rock guitar solo" they were probably thinking of Eddie VH. Now if someone says "Rock guitar solo" my guess is Angus is probably more who they are thinking of. Not to knock Eddie, but I think we can kind of see which player is more timeless. Random comment. Thanks for the video (and great lead tone!)
Angus is pretty much the primordial ooze from where I formed my playing style. That style just seems to translate to a wide cross section of audiences, in my experience.
Boomer bend alert!! Love your channel, brother!! When i was 12 years old, I’d been playing guitar about 6 months, and i got an issue of Guitar Player that had a little plastic 45 album that’s showed you how to solo like Angus Young. It was a revaluation. It helped me to keep playing and not give up. 54, still playing- so it must have worked!
I saw ACDC years ago when Yngwie Malmsteen opened up for them. I actually went to see Yngwie but let me tell you I thought Angus blew him away. Maybe a slight exaggeration, but you know what I mean. Totally different styles but, man, there's something undeniably magical about Angus' playing.
There isn't much better master and tasteful pentatonic player than Angus. Anyone that would say he doesn't have much skill because he favors minor pentatonic , couldn't write a lick let alone a solo like him consistently, song after song . I've never heard anyone better than him. IMO of course.
Where did you study guitar ? Did you take lessons ? How long have you been playing ? And I thought I was getting because I just nailed the intro to SMOKE ON THE WATER !!!
Good job learning that and playing it. I have a question, are you like me and do you play by ear? Because I can't read a note in music and I've never tried tabs. I was just wondering cuz I think that's the best way to learn is listening to it and matching what you're hearing. But I don't care, hands down you are one of the best teachers I have ever known! You keep up the good work bro and thank you so so much! And yes Angus has always amazed me by what he plays. I can play a little bit of it but we never had anybody that could sing it lol so I pretty much had to take up my time learning new stuff that we could sing. Happy New Year brother and cheers to you and your family.
Hey buddy I mostly play by ear. Now days I look for live videos to see how they play stuff. I also don't read music but i do read tabs so sometimes those can help as well :)
@@RobertBakerGuitar that's what I do almost exactly as well except for the tabs. I used to go out see other bands and watch League player and then go out to my car where I have my acoustic and try and match the licks while I still remember them. I started with John Denver's greatest Hits album that the man that got me hooked on guitar gave me and it had the book along with it with the pictures of the chords above the notes you know what the kind I'm talking about. I learned every song on that album. And man that would help me a lot to get started. I know you have got a lot of mileage because you are very very good at what you do. Remember that compliments coming from a 49-year player. But I'm not really too awful good anymore I don't play as much due to it back injuries. Worked on a wall while drilling rigs for 15 years and it just ate me up. What do you charge for lessons?
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!. Let the Rock n Roll of 2022 BEGIN!
Exactly!!!!! Happy New Year to You/Family as well. Stay Safe and keep your great ideas flowing. 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
Happy new year! 🤘
This is exactly the style i really want to learn, Great Lesson robert!
Cheers'n'Namaste good sir👍
Happy new years🤘
I completely agree with you on Angus, it's his high energy, fast yet so melodic playing that got me hooked as a kid on rock when my dad played it. Still makes my heart beat faster
Millennials. Good job carrying it on!
The key ingredient in Angus' style is confidence, that is what I learned from him. And from Paul Kossoff!
Both are badass confident players.

Angus use of the Pentatonic is the most tasteful for sure.,his timing, phrasing and silence between notes is what makes him such a Guitar god. Great vid
I love Angus’ playing. Perfect blues-oriented rock. 😁
Most Angus stuff is simple but no way easy. 🐐
He’s great at combining the minor and major pentatonics to rock and roll perfection.
You beat me to it dude! I think Angus is the absolute best at that. Jimmy Page also.
It’s his reflex,quickness,quirkiness and precision that makes him ‘the’ blues rock master.
Eh not really blues I love their second album but jack white owns that genre for me
Angus and Malcolm were amazing together. AC/DC probably had one of the strongest rhythm sections out of a lot of bands back then. I am a Bon Scott fan more than Brian. but they still kicked a$$ when I saw them back in 2000.

Who isn't?
I just received an SG Standard last week and will begin learning this lick. Thank you!
Check out the solos from "Ride on" by ACDC. It's a Masterclass in playing with feeling. I'd love a video on that.
Some of his best work imo
On Soul stripper both malcom and angus tear it up ..in 1974!
Then sometime in 76 they did ride on ..and there both killer in there own way ..much different then most of there catalog
Ride on!!!!
@@joshmalcom89 recorded in December 1974 released in January 1975.
Literally the only acdc song I don't like. It doesn't sound like acdc.
Brother these short videos are KEY just enough I can keep in my head to practice it tonight.. Keep these going..nice work
Nice! Thanks. Great job playing and teaching. Could not be better. Happy New Year!
Thanks James
The man is reason i started playing guitar!
Happy new year Rob

Ok! It will make me play the guitar for the first time this year. Happy new year Robert!
Really dig this kind of quick and easy lessons. Took a long time for me to figure this one out myself haha!

Agus is the lightning 🌩 on the album covers. Thanks for the post.
Angus always amazes me ;-) Thanks for the Angus pentatonic lick lesson!!!
You are correct Sir...the Hells Bells solo is a whole video to itself...tons of great licks in there!!!!
Suono eccezionale. L'impronta degli Ac/ DC è unica e riconoscibile all'istante. Complimenti.
His leads were always so tasteful & just enough to enhance the song yet yet perfect lead for whats going on in the song.
Great tone man!! Happy new year!!!
Angus is so hard to cover because his vibrato is incredible.
Got to be kidding he's one of the easiest to cover
@Bad Boys Boogie Angus young is about the easiest guitarist to copy hes basic all he is
@Bad Boys Boogie young is a basis chord player 3 and 4 Chord player you buy one Album you basically now have them all go learn how to play guitar son you're not going to BS me

Happy New year man...love your videos
According to a former band member’s autobiography, Angus owes his pentatonic prowess to endless practice and chocolate.
Yes sir!
As a beginner I love all lessons.
Thanks Robert! Happy New Year!
Angus is the reason I started playing guitar. Thanks for breaking down the perfect pentatonic lick.
Happy new year Rob, Angus he is a master. I love messing around Angus lead licks, but even more on sitting back doing Malcolm style riffs.
All the best mate.
Happy New Year ! Thanks always!
Happy New Year!
Looking forward to more amazing Robert Baker vids!
Beautiful breakdown of a classic Angus steak lick! Happy New Year to you and your fam:)
Angus's vibrato is unmatched
New years resolution, get good at guitar!!! Thanks for your help brother man!!
Love these videos, short, concise, easy to swallow high caloric content for consumption!
🎸🙌🎶🌠 I love that guitar. Yo did a god job customizing that SG.
Wish a happy new year you all.
Thanks my dude. This is actually my bone stock SG. I dont want to play the other one too much and fall in love with it!
Love this lick! Thank you for breaking it down 🙏
I love learning new Licks for my Guitar Bag 'O Tricks!
Angus is the Man.
Power riffs and few notes!
Needed a neck brace just watching from the stands. The whole show? Rock On! Love this one, too, thanks.
Happy New Year from Australia
My wife and daughters usually control the play list. When I get to choose I play old AC/DC or black sabbath and enjoy watching the girls reactions to the first time hearing it.
Always gonna say thank you for your free lessons
santa brought me that very guitar...and this will be my first new lick of the year !!
Simple ain't so simple. Happy New Year!
These short lick vids are the best, mas por favor
Happy New Year Robert!
ANGUS + Malcolm Young are GUITAR gods.
Happy New Year's Hellzbellz🎸✌
Happy New Year!
Outstanding Jack Black impersonation LOL!!
Amazing! I love Angus! Nice video!
HAPPY NEW YEAR MAN 🤘🤘🤘
I can remember being inspired by this exact section of that solo.
It's all about phrasing man.
Nicely done sir and I share you enthusiasm.
Oh my God thank you for this video.
This lick was bugging me for a while
74-78: the HOLY years of Angus.
Super awesome. Totally agree. When I was a kid if someone said "Rock guitar solo" they were probably thinking of Eddie VH.

Let me ask how you get that sound? The tone is just perfect. Happy new year too! Excellent playing by the way 😊
What a tone😨😨 great 🤘
Happy new year Mr. Baker have you picked a winner for that SG yet
Man, that is a beautiful SG.
You rock brother! Keep em coming!

AC/DC = Pentatonic paragon of Rock n Roll
“Make it nasty” is my mantra of 2022
Just an FYI,
Your awesome dude, thanks.
Happy new year🤘
Thanks dude Happy New Year and you are awesome.
Trying to learn the hells bells solo, this is super helpful thank you
Thx…Happy new year
Angus plays what the song needs, not his ego. 🤘
Great lesson. Nice axe
Them tones 🤘
I saw ACDC years ago when Yngwie Malmsteen opened up for them. I actually went to see Yngwie but let me tell you I thought Angus blew him away. Maybe a slight exaggeration, but you know what I mean. Totally different styles but, man, there's something undeniably magical about Angus' playing.
Robert! Where'd you get your Firebird shirt?! I want that!
My wife got it for me. I'm actually not sure where it came from.
Happy new year. Nice
Underrated guitarrist ..!
I learned guitar from listening to let there be rock the movie live from Paris. My playing style is definitely Angus young through and through..
Love it! More super short videos please.
There isn't much better master and tasteful pentatonic player than Angus. Anyone that would say he doesn't have much skill because he favors minor pentatonic , couldn't write a lick let alone a solo like him consistently, song after song . I've never heard anyone better than him. IMO of course.
Hells bells solo!!!
Amazing 👏
Thanks again for a great, concise lesson.
Awesome! More Angus links please.
Where did you study guitar ? Did you take lessons ? How long have you been playing ? And I thought I was getting because I just nailed the intro to SMOKE ON THE WATER !!!
It's so simple but it's so cool defines ACDC
Love me some Hells Bells! My favorite song from AC/DC. Would be nice if I could play it on a super awesome SG, too!
New vid about Young, love it.
This scale is all over Mick Taylor’s Sympathy for the Devil solo.
Zakk Wylde is another pentatonic master. Specially the stuff on the No More Tears
Angus was the reason I play guitar he plays simple but attrack your attention in seconds
you can find this bend in simple man solo. Happy new year!!!
Let me put my love into you has some cool riffs and licks you should make a video about too. I think it has one of the best acdc solos
Play like nobody’s watching, and people will be mesmerized.
Good job learning that and playing it. I have a question, are you like me and do you play by ear? Because I can't read a note in music and I've never tried tabs.
