- Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian on the Gretsch G6131-MY Malcolm Young Signature Jet “There is just an instant rush anytime I hear AC/DC...It’s like mainlined into my brain. As soon as I hear him playing chords I just get excited, still, after all these years. If I put on 'Let There Be Rock,' I feel the same now as I did 40 years ago. It moves me in exactly the same way.”

More About This Video:
As a young teen, Scott Ian actually learned how to play rhythm guitar by listening and playing along to Malcolm, who he considers the greatest rhythm guitarist of all-time. And given the chance to plug in his hero’s new signature model to a vintage Marshall amp and let loose, he was all in.
“It sounds great, it feels great,” said Ian. “First off, when I walked in the room, it looked great and you know it is going to sound good when acoustically it sounds so good. And then we fired it up …
“Look, I don’t get to play big open chords in my band. My band is all about down picking and palm muting, fast alternating - a completely different style of rhythm playing. So, when I get to hit really big chords and dig in, it is so much fun for me because it is the opposite of what I do. But, it is what I grew up learning how to do. And it’s what I still love, going back to that. Anytime I can just pick up a guitar that sounds so good and feels so good, and then play chords that sound perfect, I could do it all day. It makes me happy. I could literally sit for an hour and play that A chord over and over again and not get bored.”
After some lengthy playing-indulgence, we asked Ian to describe the sound he was getting out of the signature Pro Jet.
“There’s like this splash when Malcolm hits a big old chord and lets it ring out," described Ian. "He digs into the chord and that sounds comes at you. It’s like a giant wave coming at you, and then it crashes. And then another one, and then another one. And this has that feeling. When you dig into that chord, you feel the amp react. You can like, literally feel the tubes. You feel it. You feel that swell of volume, and then it pulls back. And then you hit another one. It makes you really feel like a part of it. It’s that swell, that wave, that splash of his tone, and this sounds exactly like that.”

‘People think: oh, that’s easy...but try playing it right!’ A lovely, articulate homage from one legend to another.
I always felt the same about Phil Rudd. There's a mojo in the simplicity.
Having played rhythm in an AC/DC cover band, I can totally back you up on that. I never did get it really right LOL. When I started I was like, "No problem". It's not the chords or fingerings its the timing. Long live Malcom, the King of Rock Rhythm Guitar
There is more to being a good guitarist than playing "hard" things.
His tone was basically clean and the heaviness came from how hard he strummed the guitar!
The saying, " The Devil is in the details" always leads me to AC/DC. A young boy listening, consumed by this riff heaven and then trying to play it on guitar gave me a respect I cannot put into words. Thank you Scott for making this vid. True from the heart stuff. RIP Malcom Young
He's a true fan. Lots of respect for this guy, he describes exactly how we all feel about it. You can tell he's honest about his roots!
Malcolm Young is one of the greatest rhythm guitarist in history.
he is the greatest of all time
together with James Hetfield and Dave Mustaine
@@kevctulu3868 and Rudolf Schenker.
He IS the greatest. Last time you heard or seen him make a mistake on stage?
I love see genuine fans get to about their favourite musicians. You can see how much passion Ian has for music.
Malcom had such a great sense of rhythm. He was almost more locked into the rhythm section than Cliff and provided that aggressive metronome so Phil could add his groove magic. The whole band worked so well in that respect, seriously next time you hear some AC/DC just focus on the timing of each member, there is some genius going on there.
Scott speaks of the instrument with such passion. I understand the connection. Well done.
I love how much Scott just loves AC/DC & Malcom. Me too.
That's the thing about AC/DC...you see the SG but you are hearing a Gretsch! Blessed be thy Filtertrons!
Comment gave me chills yo
The chime of that Filtertron pup is gorgeous.
So true
So many great guitar players keep searching for something different than what they're doing - like they're never satisfied with what they do. Malcolm found what he was looking for on the first AC/DC album. He didn't need to change a thing.
I feel pretty much the same as Scott Ian about Malcolm Young and AC/DC - saw AC/DC live in Tasmania with Bon Scott in about 1976 - I also own a Gretsch MY signature Jet - love it !!
You can see the love, admiration and passion out of Scott when talking about Malcolm. Definite respect!
A great tribute to a great man. Both Scott's words and that guitar.
The tone in this video is absolutely perfect. You got the right amp and mics to complement a great guitar and such a great player like Scott, who knows his Malcom stuff really well.
2:53 - Riff Raff - man, you can tell Ian is somewhere peaceful and in a groove. THAT'S what playing a guitar can do for you.
Pity the rest of it didn’t make the video
I love how happy he looks!
Great presentation by Scott. You can see the respect and love there
Respect Scott . DC and Malcolm will live forever
Nice, very nice! Scott needs to do more of these vids
Scott is such a humble and happy guitar player. He still has the passion from when he was young where as other old guitar players are either worn out or money hungry.
I play guitar today because of AC⚡DC.. just couldn't get enough..something about the early Bon Scott records i cant explain.
I met him at a restaurant when I was 5. God I wish I was old enough to appreciate meeting him at the time
Malcolm or Scott?
Great job Scott. A tribute to Malcom Young . May there music live forever. . I know Malcom & Angus will forever be in my heart. God bless angus & the young family. I so hope to own that guitar in the future. Saving my penny’s . Malcom young foreve.
I seen in 1981 For those about the Rock when Malcolm Young came it was a like this whoosh of power that hit you full on, very underated guitar player
So well discribed that I ran for listening Malcolm all day
I've watched this a bunch of times, Scott Ian is perfect for this he's super passionate and means it. This guitar is rad I'm glad they made this..
I always loved AC/DC and this almost Made me cry😂 it sounds just like Malcolm and it’s a shame he died... R.I.P hero⚡️❤️
He describes the sounds and, more importantly, the feeling of listening to Malc and ACDC so well! Love it 🤘
Well said, Malcolm's guitar sound is a drop kick to the gut every time you hear it. Always will be.
Malcolm would be so pleased with this guitar, RIP Malcolm love ya bro
Yesterday I was watching AC/DC Live at River Plate. The power of watching 60,000 people mostly young jumping up and down singing She got the Jack and Whole Lot of Rosie FRIGGIN AMAZING
Malcolm was i fucking dam legend all the young brothers are the whole family
Ian is right about that there aren't many guitar players that can be identified within a couple seconds. Further, the Young Brothers do have a sound that you know is them immediately. RIP Malcom.
Maybe just them, Carlos Santana and Brian May.
@@TheLocalFuzz and B.B. King
Frank Zappa, Rory Gallagher, Jeff Beck, Johnny Winter. Mark Knopfler but he's so annoying...
zapthefab the average joe and weekend warrior would recognize a Y&Y tune before those guys.
Fachry Zulfikar who’s annoying?
Scott Ian just sold the sh*t out of that guitar. That's how it's done.
Brilliant!
So true
Great players have a great tone and sound that's easily recognisable
4:03 Malcolm did come up with the back in black riff angus did on the high way to hell tour. Malcolm hated it at first
Awesome to have Scott represent this iconic Gretsch guitar! As Scott sates Malcolm is the best rock rhythm player ever!...AND Scott is thee best thrash rhythm player ever! Well done!
Scott, Hetfield, Eric Peterson... there are a few
Love Scott Ian, but John Schaffer of Iced Earth is the best rhythm guitarist in thrash.
When did scott become james hetfield
Well said Scott you nailed that interview with those comments.
On the "let there be rock" movie, when they come in with live wire and malcolm starts playing is what hooked me.
Every word you have spoken is the essence of why we play ,,,,I remember when I first heard them first acdc records, every couple years I play ACDC songs (I record and write my own songs)....but these songs from ACDC feel so good to play ONLY ON A Gretsch (White Falcon) you explained it perfect ...go play a dozen acdc songs its so fun to go back and remember WHYYYYYYY I have I big framed photo of Malcolm in my studio
Damn,nailing Malcolm's tone . RIP Malcolm,nicely done Scott!!
To me Malcolm has always been the backbone nothing but pure perfect rhythm no one did it better rest in peace my hero
Malcom was the best. What a great video!
Impeccable Malcolm tone!!!
the first time i stopped to REALLY learn Malcolm's part on "long way to the top", i've realized exactly what Ian is talking about, to play it right, to make the exact same perscussive effect rythimcally, it demands attention and some pratice because THERE ARE very cool variations and the overall result is much diferent than just hittin' the chords
Since them, i started to divide musicians by the ones that say "those are easy" from the ones that knows everything is a great lesson
Well stated.
Never get tired of those Bon Scott era tunes.
So Aussie, so good, so raw!
Their tunes were so kick ass , they probably never had anyone mess with them in the tough Aussie bars.
Super Video ;) Super Guitar ;) Super Gretsch Sound ;)
Good way to put it
Main Malcolm Young ! rock !! on forever !!!!!!!!!!!
The 2 best rhythm guitar players ever!!
4:00 is so true. The ability to see potential in something that simple was key.
The best explained of AC/DC sound buy far, super good job Scott.
Obviously Scott was the best choice to demo this axe and it's legendary wielder. Bravo man. You made me want one 30 seconds in.
It's brothers learning their craft from a 'young' age, pardon the pun.
They played seamlessly and effortlessly together.
Everything Scott said as I see it is 100% factual , so simple so brilliant .
And he's correct , if anyone else played those chords & riffs no one would say it was even good apart from just average guitar , but as he said in Malcolm's hands with AC/DC it's a fuckin rock lifetime classic .
Brilliant video , thank you....
Excellent video. Well said and played by Ian, and the guitar looks and sounds marvelous.
I get excited watching people get excited 🤘🤘🤘
Interesting side note: Part of the reason you still feel that way about AC/DC (not to hate on them, I love me some AC/DC as well) could be that almost everybody feels in some way stuck in their musical tastes of their youth (13-15 about) and it actually helps Alzheimer patients when they listen to the music of their youth.
Oh man!
He looks like he is having so much fun!
I feel the same as Scott about Malcolm & AC/DC now as I did in the late 70's but remember on all those albums Angus is also playing rhythm guitar . Mal had the cleaner sound & Angus the heavier. But they both layered those together to make the one sound the world loves.
Wow,Scott Ian said exactly how i feel.Bang on
He's absolutely right. There's nothing simple or easy about playing AC/DC.
Trying to create that level of energy is no simple task.
Thank gawd for Malcolm, Angus, Brian and Bon.
Having shown just how much of a fan Scott is, I would love it if was given the opportunity to play rhythm for one AC/DC tour. He would put so much force and enthusiasm into it....that alone would be worth seeing.
one year into acoustic guitar, decided to go electric. Obvious choice to follow the heart and buy the AC/DC... I always thought I wanted the SG, I now know I want the Gretsch.
Not only do I love Scott Ian but I LOVE how hyped he gets talking about the great Rock and Roll rhythm guitar player ever.
That tone is unbeatable.
Holy shit what a description of how ac/dc sounds...awesome!!!
That was beautiful Scott.
This man would’ve been perfect as Malcolm’s replacement, don’t get me wrong, Malcolm is irreplaceable, but Scott’s spot on man lml.
Malcolm Young is one of the greatest ever ever no one will come close to being as good
Good to see you so excited about the guitar God that is Malcom Young, Scott. Also, those MY Gretsch signature models are awesome, I'd love to have a bash on one. :)
Malcolm Young = the greatest rhythm guitarist of all time in my opinion. Brilliant songwriter too!
Malcolm was one of the Greatest Rhythm Guitarist ever
Thanks Scott ........Great Videoclip......Perfectly Put.....what Timing.I just Pulled out my whit Falcon This Morning and went thru my fave AcDc songs wow
Scott Ian's comments are right on the money!
Malcolm Young..... gone, but never forgotten.
Only Scott knows how to express that felling!
it's angus + malcolm's chords combined that makes the unmistakeable ac/dc sound, not just malcolm...
@Auntie Geigui I believe you.
They harmonized with their chords so well!! So yummy🎶🌀
Malcolm also played a Gretsch white Falcon on Black in Black !
The tone Malcolm made was the greatest sound that had ever been made from the electric guitar. Don’t spend money on expensive pedals, buy thick strings and play hard, that’s how you get gold tone
You don't even need thick strings, it makes very little difference compared to how you play 'em ; )
this and the Van halen brown sound IMO !
@@DerEchteBold For the kind of low gain yet loud "kerrang" that Malcolm got out of that Filtertron pickup, heavy strings are absolutely essential...you just can't do it convincingly with 9's or 10's.
That's what is referred to as "jazz physics" or alternatively "blues physics." Thats how I roll, 11s on my solid bodies and 12s on my hollow bodies. I also use a heavy pick (2 or 3 mm) with a high action. So much tone!
@@DerEchteBold partly, if you play hard on thin strings they can break, so thick strings are recommended
It's a GREAT guitar....I was on the waiting list at Sweetwater, and got one a few weeks ago.
Love you Malcolm!
"me playing those opening chords to Back in Black wouldn`t impress anyone" is the most honest comment I`ve ever heard a guitarist say! Try getting it right-that`s the hard part!
Excellent
Very True Words. 🤘
Gretsch is an awesome guitar. I love my G2622T.
He was the man
Scott is right. Most of the AC/DC chords are quite easy to play once at a time.
But try to get it fit together and make the chord changes fast is not so easy.
I honestly have thoughts of buying this guitar. It sounds amazing.
Awww, well Scott Ian, I feel that way about you too 😉
a Legend of the rhythm guitar to other legend...!
Hola bendiciones , mi guitarra faborita , un dia tendre una saludos desde Honduras
Iglesia Nueva Vision Agua Fria pastor: Onan Gomez Hey que bueno ver otro hondureño apreciando la buena musica!😈
@@christianalexander6364 Dios te bendiga
Fucking looove AC/DC...great video of Scott Ian jamming song tuuunes
Wow Scott has a great point. If any other person showed somebody three chords who would care... Malcom took three chords and turned it into the 2nd best selling album in the history of music ( counting all genres)
Amazing
I am in total agreement with Scott. The music of AC/DC encodes something very special and unique, and it's effect on the listener is never lost. As good as Malcolm was, Phil and Clif were as integral. In short, unequivocally, the best rhythm section in rock music!
Not an Anthrax fan by any stretch, but I agree with every word Scott says here.
AC/DC has always been timeless. For some reason, to me, it seems like any one of their old tunes could have been made yesterday.
Nice, simple, & swelling with tone... the way rock was intended.
I completely agree.
One of my guitar heros is Scott. Player from hell.
Awesome!!
He says "Theres only one Malcolm...and..That's why there's only one AC/DC because they're the only one's who can do that."
Well maybe, but you can say that about LOTS of different guitar bands. Whether it's Zep, Floyd, The Black Crowes, The Allman Brothers Band, The Grateful Dead, Phish, CSNY, Pearl Jam, The Who, U2, etc etc...all those bands are who they are because they are the best at what they do and nobody sounds exactly like them. Nobody sounds exactly like David Gilmour but David...nobody sounds exactly like Clapton but Eric. Most music fans with a good ear could pick out Jerry Garcia or SRV or Dickey Betts in 3 notes. These players are all unique in some way whether its their tone, their phrasing, their attack or their rig. Everything combined makes them the greatest players on earth. They didn't get famous and play sold out arenas all over the world by accident. So yeah, AC/DC has their own sound just many many others. My only point is, all these bands are the best of the best and are all unique in some way...
Eddie Pienkowski I agree, but I think Ian meant his simplicity cant be replicated, Vai developed his own tecnnique and style for instance, and just hearing a strummed chord from malcolm can be recognizable between endless strum chords, imo
Mal is a Legend!!Marshall super bass and Gretsch.angus Gibson SG and Marshall jtm.
