This song is also my trickiest to play. Well played my friend. I'm nowhere near that level of play! The most "deceptive" song to play well is Thunderstruck... Seems easy, with hammer ons and pull offs, but to play it as he plays it that long takes a lot of concentration. Even Angus acknowledge that he has to put all his mind to it!
That’s why I made this video, people brand AC/DC as easy stuff to play on the guitar but that’s not always the case like with this riff! Definitely got a lot more technique involved than just power chords 🤟
Thx Rob. Awesome vid. I see how much you love ACDC. That’s why I subbed your channel. Your Shot in the dark rendition was so brilliant. Thank you so much for your time and effort. I love your channel! CANADA ROCKS! 🇨🇦❤️🎸🤘
Angus is extremely hard on his guitars. He sweats a lot and that wreaks havoc on the pickups. Just read about it. Definitely not a gentle touch! CANADA ROCKS 🇨🇦
Going to nail this riff today. And then work on You shook me and Rock n roll damnation. It’s an ACDC day all day long at my house. Just have to wait for the ppl to wake up!
This is also the hardest AC/DC song for me to play, still struggling with the hybrid picking tho, I'm using my thumb instead of the pick. But I feel like Thunderstruck is even harder to play (for me at least)
this video is fantastic, I love your teaching style and the quality of content. Can you please make a tut on malcolm's rhythm guitar for thundertruck? That is the one I could never figure out and there's nothing decent about it on youtube.
Great job Rob! I'm not very good at hybrid picking, almost all my covers are solos that use only pure picking with the pick. I should start getting into some Mark Knopfler stuff and AC/DC songs like this one too!
Jose Orozco hybrid picking is tough at first but I just found that once I started trying it, it quickly became something I do more naturally in my playing all the time!
It's a pretty nice riff but in my scale of "hardest AC/DC riffs" it isn't even in TOP-5. "Landslide" or even "Big gun" takes much more repetitive and rhythmical work espessially for the left hand. But Mal's part of Thunderstruck - it's a right hand killer.
You can see Angus showing that riff here th-cam.com/video/VcGAScb_woY/w-d-xo.html He doesn't miss any A note whit the pick and plays one note less than you with the fingers, also he's so natural that makes me want to sell my guitar.

Thunderstruck the intro is difficult if you play it as Angus does.
@@licksnkicks1166 Well... Isn't exactly what we are saying ?
but can you do the duck walk at the same time lol..angus looks like hes beating that guitar.but he has such a delicate touch
@@mattyburrows9059 LOL! Well... I can duck walk, and play it... But not at the same time... Can't chew gum and walk!
Excellent Tutorial, well explained and played, a great help. Thank you...

Played properly. Most youtube tutorials don't have that constant A going, which is a must
Another great video, Rob!

Beating Around The Bush and Honey Roll are some tricky ones
They are indeed, Beating around the bush it's almost impossible to make it sound clean and the Honey roll has those weird chromatic passages
Great work thanks

Amazing Rob 👍 Stay safe n keep rocking...

Its really hard to get right. I'm working on it. Great job
“Beating around the bush” has always been an awkward one for me to play
Yeah that’s pretty quick! Great tune though 🤟
Im gonna try to nail this, but this sort of double picking is really hard.
Angus young is really a good guitar player.
I love
Rock
And roll
I got a stiff
Upper lip... 😂
I would have said Razor's Edge was the trickiest - I r4emember Malcom Young saying this too!
nice video bro!
AlterNoEgo Thankyou! I like your videos, dropped you a sub ✌️
No comprendo lo que dices,...pero la buena música nos une.
Stiff upper lip will always be my demise
I play it exactly like you. Thanks for saying 20 percent I made it wrong
I remember you from whe you
