AC DC - Back In Black - middle riff with TAB

[TheRealMcP]

Now play it again without the death metal distortion! It's covering up your awesome playing.

[LesPaulCustom79]

I'm not really sure how Angus jumps around....while playing this riff. I notice in the videos, Malcolm just stands there.....while he is playing it. Oh yeah, for the flips between the A and E string and the D and A string part of the riffs, Malcolm uses his left index finger and ring finger.

[LesPaulCustom79]

Thank you for showing one of AC/DC's hardest riffs to figure out. It would have taken me much longer to figure out and I would have probably not gotten right.

[MrTerrormonkey]

is it the camera lens or is your guitar neck just way bent? btw nice vid

[DavorinPavlica]

Hey, man, you teacj us great riffs ...

Just a question: is G a hammer-on?

[Newmusicsuck]

Hah guys. You cant compare angus with this :) But this was pretty good. Now put yourself infron of thousands of people and play this while moving ;)

[JohnHelgeK]

[coanda4]

TYSM for posting, im trying to learn this riff, other than the real Angus your the best on any site ive found so far, Many can play the right notes few can make them live.

[keschich]

He Dont Play It Wrong Seriously There Are Alternate Ways To Play Smart Ass

[commandercody1992]

ur name is wright: zeik means shit in dutch

[Killa3964]

I guess it's Angus himself. Because i saw his t-shirt on the other video and he used the same one. It was around 20's

[seerlater]

it Aint ANGUS cos ANGUS plays a G chord without the finger on the A string - ie open instead of 2nd fret B

[Classicrockriffs1]

Its Called G5!

[LoverOfVenom]

This is such a fun song to play, this riff was quite a stretch for me as I've got really small hands but I loved playing it.

[skycodefilms]

for the

-2---2---2

--5---6---7

part. its easeir to just play

7-4-5-6-7-7

all on the low E

just use ur ring finger for the 7's

pointer for the 4,5's

and the FU finger for the 6

[classicrockriffs]

Yes you could - but it wouldn't sound as good, and it isn't the Angus way. But play it how you want, as long as you play it...

Cheers

[skycodefilms]

yeah i guess... i just dont like the 2,7 jump.

[LinkBulletBill]

it gets easy... Trust me, very easy... Are you a beginner... Because at first I have problems, now I can do it blindfolded, with guitar behind my head. Practice makes perfect...

[skycodefilms]

eh id say im about intermediate. i can play metallica's One... Nothing else Matters. and Master of puppets good. so id say im about intermediate.

[LinkBulletBill]

that's pretty easy, no offense, well for me... You tried to learn some solos? Everyone learns Stairway To Heaven solo, try to learn Child in Time, and Master Of Puppets guitar solos...

[gold3npimp]

is stairway to heaven easy?

[sgthies]

oh yes! All you need are the tabs, your guitar and a little bit endurance

[smootube123]

angus doesnt stretch for the notes on the E string with his little finger

[classicrockriffs]

Yes he does, I've seen it...

[wwm8980]

i agree he does. it just does't look like a stretch for him

[skycodefilms]

oh whoops

its

7-4-7-5-7-6-77

[nflpanthersrock]

i need advice, i would be better off with electric than acoustic right? acoustic is too damn big..and it's hard to push down, my parents wont get me an electric :(

[classicrockriffs]

An electric guitar would certainly be easier to play this kind of riff, however you should still be able to play it on an acoustic, from your description it sounds like the action (gap between string and fretboard) is too high, try lowering the bridge. Definitely get an electric sometime though!

[wwm8980]

its good to play on a acoustic it will make you a better player when you go to a electric just stick it out and you will get it

[rockon325]

dude google didn't provide anything for me with the solo but you man fucking helped me a lot thaknks!

[kanumbra]

thank you heaps!!!!

[tibro66]

yes! it is!

[ampguide]

[Ben93219]

[encounter70]

man ur riff tutorial was awsome, but the chords were too fast. I didn't even get what u were doing, but i think this is what u were doing o pen A power chord, open e power chord, B power chord and then open G chord,open D then Open A Power chord. M i right? if i m the comment me on my profile. Thanks man!!

[paxpaul]

Thank you for posting ALL of these great videos! You've helped me smooth out one or two, and gave me my first real hope of learning some of the others. And THIS video, with the Tab-in-picture--you deserve medals. (Or pedals...hehe...) Thanks for posting!!!!

[classicrockriffs]

Thanks for all the positive comments - I will try and put more tab on my vids, takes even more time tho ;-( but I know it'll be worth it as it is sometimes hard to see what both hands are doing!

[ResidentLR]

nice tutorial

[mrgreyshadow]

You play it well, but if you arrange it like this: 5 4 2 4 2 0 2 1 2 2

0 3

It comes out the same, it just looks less cool.

[mrgreyshadow]

damn, it deleted my spaces. :(

Here.

0---3-5

[classicrockriffs]

Yes, they are the same notes, but it doesn't give the same overall sound/feel Angus gets which the way demonstrated does. If you watch videos of Angus very closely you will see him playing it as shown, e.g., the slide down at the end from the 7th fret.

Thanks for the feedback though - and of course play it however you feel comfortable.

And play LOUD !

[mrgreyshadow]

You're right. It is kinda lame to do the bare minimal guitar-wise when it's Angus' riff, after all. It deserves it.

:D

[koll789]

This is the real deal. This guy has got the riff exactly right. Other peoples versions of this are poor imitations. This is the correct way to play it. EXCELLENT !

[classicrockriffs]

Thanks man - hope it helped...
