AC/DC (Angus Young) Back in Black rhythm video lesson
-> Go to part 2

Yet another legendary guitar tune! We are going to have a look at the rhythm guitar of this song - and hopefully realise how cool/heavy a riff can be, even though it's just a few simple chords, used the right way.

Also, a cool effect is created with the open box of the E minor pentatonic scale. It makes up a nice ending of the riff, just before it cycles.

Even though the chords are simple, playing the riff to the cd can be quite a hassle, as the strumming is done off-beat. Listen to the riff a 1000 times to get it right...

PS For some reason this tune has always been the number one request from my students!
