An electric guitar lesson on how to play Back in Black by AC/DC. The album was produced by Mutt Lange and the parts are all really tight which reflect his perfectionist approach.

Terrific tone man! I heard an interview once with Angus where the interviewer asked him what it was like being the best guitarist alive. His answer was, "hell man, I'm not even the best guitarist in this band!" Malcolm was like gorilla glue for these guys. He was the pulse that kept everything moving. Never given nearly the credit he deserves.......except by the person who recognized his talent the most.
I have been playing 30 years so I am not new to this and I consider myself a good guitarist but this guy is hands down the best instructor on TH-cam. I always learn something from him. So many things I had been playing wrong that he has helped me correct. Great ear!

Absolutely concur !!
Yes he is!
40 yrs of playing and still learning! Always great to hear other guitarists interpretation of the same songs.
Yes he is...an excellent instructor.
Oh yes indeed! This guy is great.
Nobody in TH-cam teaching guitar comes closer to this Canadian. Kudos brother!!!
He's from 🇨🇦 aye? 😂
This guy is definitely one of the finest teachers on you tube. He is so calm while playing, I, on the other hand, am resisting the urge to pull my guitar strings off like a bow and arrow. I am envious of your poise sir. You are an awesome teacher, and I am so happy to have found your channel!!!
This guys the real deal. Ive been playing 25 yrs (15 professionally) and occasionally i like to learn songs for fun. I always come here to make sure im getting it right,because i KNOW he gets it right,every time. Great ear,great way of teaching, a guy i wish i knew personally. I would definitely love to sit down and have coffee with this guy and pick his brain. Absolutely my favorite channel on TH-cam by a country mile. Thank you sir.
Thank you for the positive comment bud, I really appreciate it. Cheers
Andy
Old g - head here. Been playing 40+ years. Good to see newer generations carrying the torch. Wish this sort off thing was available in my early years - (I think) ...the journey would have been quicker.!
Nice work shutup and play... Those wanting to learn, watch this guy..
Meant to type, "Wish this sort "OF" thing was available in my early years". Sorry, just got in, ....Friday night.
@@duncansbuddy Wow! Someone who actually cares about the craft of writing.
Always great lessons and so glad you are on the mend!! I am sure everyone of your subscribers was praying for you. You have definitely impacted many lives by sharing your talent
These are amazing tutorials. You do the song (well), then get right down to business with no unnecessary yak. You deliver with the casual authority of a pro, but also with patience and understanding for those of us just struggling along. It really helps that you continue to do riffs at different tempos, even as you are explaining stuff. I like the tossed in background notes on the bands and their techniques and quirks. Also useful are the comments on hand and finger mechanics. Great stuff, and thanks!
Keep doing it “for the guys that don’t” know... love it. You’re the best teacher on YT.
I want to thank you for the solid black background. No distractions from your performance.👍👍
Never in my 16 years of life would I have though I’d be playing this song; and now here I am, I’ve been playing for for a year and I’m rocking out to ac/dc. Bless you brother.
Keep it up young brother. NEVER stop
For a young beginner guitar player, this album, sonic temple, candlebox 1st album great hard rock records that aren't to complicated but have serious attitude and great guitar riffs.
I got to say you're about the best lesson guy I've ever seen on the internet you explain things thoroughly and fairly clearly awesome job
No Bullshit, You are the Man!! Absolutely the best Teacher I've been able to learn from. Licks, strumming, chords ect.. you have a way about you that makes learning guitar even that much more fun & til I started watching your channel I would not have guessed that to be possible! Rock On Brother

I am now 61, got my first guitar at age six, 55 years of playing and I still enjoy the hell out of this channel.
Excellent lessons. I've been playing a part of this wrong for 36 years and your little section at 11.15 has now rectified my error.
I totally agree.
Great great class. Even the smallest details on how hands should be placed. I’m grateful to you. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯💯💯
By far the best Back in Black tutorial I've ever seen and I've watched plenty,probably the best simplest way to play it.What a brilliant teacher.Power to you,thanks makes learning a pleasure.
Dude, I really appreciate the time you put into explaining this song. I really enjoy all your videos immensely. You rock.
John McMullen Thanks John!
Acdc took the open basics to a whole nother level like none other. RIP Malcom Young
Thank you for teaching all of us great song and great teaching
This is the best tutor on the Internet. Helps me with my dementia from old age. I still remember the 60s. Therefore, I have forgotten a lot of songs. Helps me remember them quickly and accurately.
I've been playing guitar for 30 years and always amazed and aggravated by how so many of my brethren overlook the nuances of these old tunes; the phrase "it's close enough for rock n' roll" makes my skin crawl! I know I sound like a snob, but I'm not - I've long since learned to keep a lot of that to myself when working with other guitarists! At any rate, I'm a perfectionist and strive for accuracy. These lessons are terrific. You really capture the details of these tunes, even Back in Black, which many learn right when they're beginning, but never quite play it right.
Your teaching style is outstanding. I can't stand it when I click on a "lesson" and the guy drones on & on, often including information that could really be left aside (especially for experienced players). I love that you include a full demo separate from the explanation. Shut up and play indeed!
Please keep up the stellar work!
billymac72 Thanks Billy!
The only problem with your method is that Angus Young himself doesn't play it note for note like the CD when he's out on the road. He's probably never played it the same way twice. So, yeah, close enough for rock 'n roll works.
I just happened upon this because of the title because I was searching Ac/dc and Bon Scott. Great teaching video. I like how clean all your notes sound 👌
Great job!
Finally, a good guitar teacher video! Thank you!
The best online teacher by far, thank you
totally agree
Agreed. His Comfortably Numb second solo video is outstanding.
Wow . . brilliant. and you are right . . . Malcolm does the hop up on the nifty riff at the end in videos that I've seen instead of the stretch with the pinky.
You're a brilliant tutor , Thanks
Andrew Jenkins LOL
Definitely one of the best instructors on YT. Well done, sir, and "thanks" as always.
I really enjoy your talent and passion for playing, but I especially enjoy your teaching insight and ability...fantastic lesson...I also really like that you have taken the time to get the timbre correct when you teach your lessons...
Mark Phillips Thanks Mark! I have a really great time making the videos! Yeah, I also enjoy trying to get different sounds. That's the greatest thing about being a musician, there's always something to learn and improve on right? cheers
I really appreciate your talent.
I’m so glad I found your channel! As others have said, your the best!
I agree with everyone here, your tutorials are the best. I'd like to comment on this one though, I think when he goes from the B to the A he only raises his first finger and leaves his ring finger on the 4th string 4th fret. Very subtle difference, but, I'm pretty sure that's how he does it.
Superb lesson. I think you mentioned all the ways I'm currently playing it wrong....
Hey Terry, thanks bud. At different times in my life I've played everything wrong as well, but it's a learning process that essentially never ends right? But that's the greatest thing about being a musician, you can NEVER stop getting better. You can play a lifetime and still just be scratching the surface, but that's what I find so inspiring about music. Thanks for watching. cheers
Best teacher on TH-cam. I watch him daily but God stop using that pinky on your fifth note.
You rock. I love your obsession to perfection style. It's mine too. Play it right note 4 note or don't play it.
Thanks for the tip about moving the wrist on those stretches , I never thought of that and i have been playing a long time thank you.
First time I've seen the first lick taught that SOUNDS right! Well done Sir!
Always love your lessons. Even when I thought I already knew a song, I still learn something!
Gorgeous guitar
This is such an iconic AC/DC song! Love it! Thx for the lesson.
u knowbetter.
From the B to A chord, I just lift my index finger from B and strum (A&D) together, and hammer it back on to B. idk sounds better to me. I'm ear trained, just had trouble with the timing on 3-open, 3-open, 2-bend open part.
Not anymore! Thank you sir 😀. Great lesson, 👍👍
You probably get tired of hearing this, but you are a very patient, calm and excellent teacher.
yodeheyvavhey Thank you very much!
This is the best video, I definitely subbed you earned it.
Thanks dude you have a good lesson. I think you are the most accurate teacher on TH-cam. Hope you put on the solo lesson of this song very soon. I need it lol!!
You are really a great player and teacher. Thanks a lot.
You mention how on the money these guys are. I never quite realised that until I saw them play it live in a private club for a few hundred people. I was blown away at how good they make a simple structure sound. I've seen more technical players, but not sure i've ever seen a band that solid. Good musicianship goes a long way. Great lesson for the rest of us not to take simple stuff for granted as "easy". As you mention, it isn't.
ShowMe I'd love to see those guys in a small venue. For me I have never cared about the whole fame, success angle of bands. It's always about the musicianship and the music. I would love to sit in with these guys for just one tune, such a tight, well organized band! The thing that kills me is when musicians put them down for being too simple, and then you hear those guys try to play their stuff and they sound awful! How can that be if it's so simple right? It's because it's not about how complex or simple something is, it's about how well you play it and how committed you are to it and AC/DC cover both of those things pretty darn well! cheers
Shutup & Play - Guitar Tutorials You said "It's because it's not about how complex or simple something is, it's about how well you play it" I'm not surprised to hear you say that, because that comes out more than anything in your videos(and separates them from a lot of the stuff on you-tube). You are obviously good technically and have done a lot of research in working out the guitar parts, but the part that I am hearing is the attention to phrasing and dynamics so the parts "sit " effortlessly in the right place. I actually enjoy just listening to some of the tracks, not because they are accurate, but just because they sound good. You own it when you play it.
and again another GREAT video !!!
Another great tutorial, thank you. Anyone that says they don't like AC/DC is lying or dead.
How can one NOT like AC/DC??!!
AC/DC introduced me to rock when I was in fourth grade with TNT. They’ll forever hold a special place in my life.
And still the YT "how to play" Champion!
Nice job once again Sir. Your attention to detail always amazes me.
Haha, champion, that's funny bro! Thanks for watching.
DUDE... I love you- in a Guitar kinda way!!!
😂😂😉
Can't say it enough.... you're perspective is inspiring
..the way you explain it..it's spot on. nuff said! thanky
Another informative lesson! Thanks.
You are very patient man. With a great gift that you shares with the not so fortunate. lol
Like always a great breakdown on the Main riff and the middle section.
Im still working on "Ramble on" the acoustic part . Lol But I'm getting there slowly . It has to sound just the way you showed it . Thats my mission for the end of the year. Thank you
You're so right about the Young Bro's really hitting the strings. Angus said in an interview (prob widely seen) that Malcolm had said to him ' Don't tickle it whack the thing" - We Aussies have a way with words lol. Great lesson and +Wolfgang Rittner - you're so right to have long medim and shorter term goals. Hope you got the mission completed. Thanks for the lesson man they're great, you've got good aural skills - a great ear !!
Love your teaching, thanks for sharing.
For sure the best guitar instructor, thanxz buddy
Thank you for teaching, that's very helpful
Love your videos ❤.Thank you.
You're a great teacher! Thanks!
thanks so much. this is the best BinB tutorial I've seen. you're a generous guy. I also had to stretch so much to type this with one hand without putting my beer down. will be trying this out tomoz. many thanks our friend xx
Best tutorial!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks 🙏🏻
Good lesson it was an amazing experience to play it.
Wilger Mozombite Doñez Thanks Wilger.
I don't know who you played for but you are AWEsome! I am grateful for your time and energy and superb descriptions and demonstrations to show the difference between how the technical part sounds one way vs. the other technic. I am a beginner with a 1954 Les Paul gold top, sides and back. The real deal. You are a TRUE musician to share your skills. God Bless you Sir.
How did you get your hands on a '54 Les Paul gold top?
There's a local guy who's been in bands forever and he's always done a lot of buying and selling stuff for a few extra bucks profit. His bandmate needed a guitar and he had heard of one out in the county. So the lead guitar guy got it. A few years later, he was moving to Nashville and needed $$, and sold it to his brother. (Who sells their guitar b4 going to Nashville, right?) Couple years later his brother was broke and sold it to me, bc I was the guitar player's best friend - with the agreement that I would sell it back. So, in the mid-late '70's I paid $350 for it. I can't play for shit, but I play With it.
Great lesson. The stretch at the end of the riff is a good thing to learn but when I finally realized I could just use B on the 7th fret of E to.pedal, it like "Duh!.
Thanks for the lessons, you are very good at what you do!!
Awesome lesson as per usual
Thanks for the video,
You play better than I wish I could!. you never step on it. You kick it. And you my friend, kick it hard !
Excellent job as always!
Col Burgess was fun to play with .. he was on the money from the start.
"Beating round the Bush" is also a huge fun song.

Great lesson! Thanks once again, nobody gets it as close to real as you do!!! Greetings from Uruguay quarantine ;)
Great playing, keep it Up........
Great lesson. Thanks for taking the time.
Thanks John!
Awesome lesson! Best I've seen on TH-cam. I love how you teach in such a laid back manner- it really gives me confidence knowing that guitar is not some kind of hard rule... it's just whatever feels right to the player. Btw, can you please do a lesson on have a cigar by Pink Floyd? I really want to learn it and there are no TH-cam videos of it. Thanks! !
Uri Henig Thanks Uri! Love Pink Floyd and that's a great song. cheers
Just starting song after a long hiatus & thanks for your pointers ... 🤘
Bro tight lesson! Thanks!
love watching your videos
Amazing lesson
YOUR a badd ass guitar player!!!
Absolutely brilliant very well done
Thanks!
Great jam got alot of jam 'n 2 work on
I tuned in to "all right now" and now this? Had to hit the sub button! 👍
Just stumble on your channel very quickly saw you have a great lesson on this song. I just subscribed. I like what I see thanks for your help on the song.
It's amazing to think how much fretboard real estate Angus covers (as illustrated by all those stretches in your lesson) with really small hands! Check out any shot of him playing and his SG (pretty small as electric guitars go) looks downright huge on him. What might sound simple turns out to take a lot more effort and skill than it might first appear. Thanks for a great lesson once again, without a doubt, the finest tutorials on TH-cam.
Thanks a lot for the great comment. I totally agree with what you've said here. I really admire both of those guys. So many people think you need long fingers to play guitar, well these guys are a testament to the fact that you don't! If you want to do something, just do it, don't listen to "the rules" that other people want to make for you! The Young brothers are an inspiration. cheers
Thanks enjoyed the lesson
Cool!!! Exelentt!!! I like it!!! From Russia with love !!! We love AC/DC !!!
you're the best.....yhnks for teaching
Thanks mate, subscribed!
That’s just great, I’ve been playing this sh!t wrong for years.
Thanks for the correction, well played.
THANKS DUDE!
Have you got some kind of bionic ear going on there? Your ability to pick out individual notes in complex passages is nothing short of amazing. Plus the way you are able to play loose and still have precision and total control is incredible.
Great job.
From Russia with love! Good job!
Well done sir!
Great lesson bro
I’ll tell ya, I learned how to play this song a few years back and I haven’t played it a while so I wanted to kinda relearn it. I’m so glad I went over to your tutorial because I can see how crappy I was playing it when I did ahah! You really focus on detail and at another level from many other lessons. Thanks so much again, it’s also time to purchase some more shirts or a coffee mug 😀🤟
Also, regarding that difficult part near the end of this lesson, you’re 100% right about that slide ( Or should I be saying no slide rather ). On the studio version of the song I don’t hear any slides between the E & A strings either. Perhaps live, things always seem to get a little funky live anyway. 😊
Finally someone who knows how to show a guitarist how to play a song. Heat in the street by Pat Travers fun to show and learn. just knot well known.
absolutely great lesson for those who need to see each single detail of the phrasing!!!
you taught me the song so easily which i was struggling for one month, thank you so much i wish i had funds to donate but im kinda half broke i will surely do someday and please show yourself!!!!!!!! ,all the videos i find only your wrist and the guitar :-D
