ACDC VOL 1 Lesson Performance Notes
Back In Black
Arguably one of the most famous rock anthems on the planet, “Back In Black” is a celebration of power chords and open-string riffs. Dominated by E pentatonic minor scale, the song boasts a meaty rhythm with intricate licks woven in. The solo, bathed in bluesy bends and quick hammer-ons, is a testament to Angus’s knack for combining simplicity with unbridled power.
Highway To Hell
A benchmark moment in rock history. Highway to Hell features catchy chord progressions that combine open chords with liberal sprinklings of power chords. The solo is based around the A pentatonic minor scale with a touch of string-bending magic. The riffing style here showcases how a simple yet effective syncopated rhythm can become an unforgettable rock anthem.
Hell Ain’t A Bad Place To Be
Bases on the A major scale, Hell Ain’t A Bad Place To Be is full of groove-laden riffs that are both catchy and harmonically rich. The solo delves into blues scales, with vibrato-laden bends and quick alternate picking runs, emphasizing feel over complexity. An important lesson for wannabe lead guitarists.
Let There Be Rock
OMG! This is an absolute classic. Showcasing the mastery of the G pentatonic scale, this track is a whirlwind of energy. The song brims with galloping rhythms, and the solo uses slides, string-bending, and pull-offs effectively, offering a dynamic contrast to the aggressive rhythm section. This is a lead guitar masterclass and worth the price of this DVD alone.
Whole Lotta Rosie
A track that screams hard rock from the very first note. Employing the A pentatonic minor scale, the song’s riffs are aggressive and raw. The solo stands out with its usage of double stops, giving it a thick texture, while rapid-fire alternate picking passages accentuate the overall energy of the track.
