Angus Young Solo Licks (with Tabs ! )

[MultiXxKillerxX]

Angus é muito foda éo cara !!

[gta4rulzu]

2:45 wow. i felt like agels were flynig out of the guitar

[TheSecondSkateteam]

@mattmusicguitar absolutly not!!! Angus plays fully clean, he gets the disortion due picking the notes hard, fast and evil.

[dtsioutsiouris]

OMG!!!!!!!!THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!

[PlanBsprockey]

OMG! That Was AMAZING!....At first I was unable to read tabs but when you showed how to read them ive been making my own. thanksx700!!!

[ravelperez11]

OMG Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |m| !!!!!!

[Asia98876]

Angus is my idol ! he is the best guitarist in world

[hallorobby]

Thenkyou

[DeIrErG]

ma che cagata hai fatto?

[leham99]

at 2:23 what is the amp setting if any one knows

[snookerkingexe]

@leham99 I guess just Angus himself knows them ;) Just try and find your settings ;)

[dtsioutsiouris]

@snookerkingexe where was this 2:23 live?

[snookerkingexe]

@dtsioutsiouris Its from "Let There Be Rock - The Movie" ;) A DVD of this Concert is coming in June!! =)=)

[dtsioutsiouris]

@dtsioutsiouris thanks :)

[ProdigyGuitarPlayer]

@leham99 I don't have a Marshal like Angus, but I can get a pretty good AC/DC sound with my line 6 spider III. I don't know what type of amp you have, but what I do is put on the highest distortion channel (insane) and put the gain/distortion knob at about a 4. Then I put the bass, middle, and trebel knobs at about a 7. If you have reverb, put that about 1/4 to 1/3 way up. You might need to adjust the distortion based on what amp you have. This gives me a great AC/DC sound though! Hope I helped!

[VaporSuperflyII]

@leham99 look here:

acdcwillie.tripod.com/intervie­w5c.htm

[Nacnueed]

@leham99 EQ midway with treble a little over half. Gain half way and volume LOUD. Remember not too much gain, the amp will give more drive the louder it is. Also it's the way it's played, hit those full open chords and let em resonate. :D

[mattmusicguitar]

@leham99 distortion



[arocknrollfan]

Its so awesome to be able to play some of angus's solos now

[TheDanny385]

most of you probably haven't noticed, but all the solos are played (in this video) in SLOW MOTION, and if he plays that fcking fast on slow motion....

lets just say van halen is a beginner compared to angus

[RobDZeppelin]

@TheDanny385 LOL. I'm guessing you are not even a guitar player..

[TheDanny385]

@RobDZeppelin i am you dumbass.

Van Halen's style is VERY easy to play with one or two practices while for Angus you need to practice and practice and practice.

[RobDZeppelin]

@TheDanny385 lol. dude you got it ALL backwards. Angus is the one that is very easy to play. All ac/dc songs....its those simple chords and a pentatonic solos. Van halens has much more variety and creativity than angus. Thats all i can say because you just seem clueless

[TheDanny385]

@RobDZeppelin are you kidding me? simple chords, yeah he does, and look at the fucking magic he creates with them. gimme a call when van halen makes a riff lyk AC/DC and plays a solo lyk the one in Whole Lotta Rosie.

My number is 1800-Go-Fuck-A-Dog.

Cheers

[RobDZeppelin]

@TheDanny385 all of eddies solos are better than angus. check out panama, or any van halen song. far more creative than G, A, and C chords and repetitive licks. you are obviously one sided on this subject. Also, if you say van halen's style is "very easy" to play, than why do you skip a whole section of eruption. kid

[TheDanny385]

@RobDZeppelin he doesnt only use G, A, C! in fact, I dont think theres a single song in the For Those About To Rock and Black Ice album that are based on those three chords. actually, there are probably two songs by AC/DC based on those three chords. most songs are completely different, but people are to stubborn to realize that. Van Halen has to use weird chords to get a pop sound while trying to sound rock and get a liposuction to be "the god of guitar". the vid i made is months old.

[TheDanny385]

@RobDZeppelin G, A, C?? repetitive licks? There isn't five songs you can name by AC/DC that are based on those 3 chords. however, van halen, you're right, doesn't use pentatonic solos. but he does use fucking distortion and effects lyk theres no tomorrow. you couldnt play half the van halen solos without distortion, while Angus creates his face melting solos wwith barely no distortion.any way, Angus is way better. 'nuff said.

[RobDZeppelin]

@TheDanny385 haha i like how you take the G, A,C so literal. That comment was to state the the easy basic chords that are always in ac/dc songs. Just because someone uses effects and distortion doesn't mean they suck, not does it make them better. Its about what is their preferred TONE. How can be angus be better when eddie has better technique and versatility. Oh, and please..give me two examples of a song where eddie tries to use "wierd chords"

[gta4rulzu]

@RobDZeppelin Van Halens Teqniques are much different than Angus'

[robbbnibn]

@RobDZeppelin hey check the video uploads of thedann385 where he plays his sucky guitar and laugh ur ass offxD

[tebarovski]

@004savage you clearly don't know a shit about guitar playing dumbass

[SantaBaby401]

I know this seems a little bit weird, but how you can read Licks & Tabs? :D

I hope you don't make fun of me.. :)

[tebarovski]

gay/dc sucks balls, long live van halen

[ebanb]

@tebarovski

what is van halen? some kind of classic music?

[leham99]

how do you pull of 0

[snookerkingexe]

@leham99 I never wrote "pull of from 0" I wrote "5p0h7" which means pull of from 5 to 0 und than hammer on to the 7th fret

[ZeroElementZero]

Easy simple and fucking rockin.

[SantaBaby401]

All right, you can try it. Try to play the licks.

But nobody, really nobody, could imitate Angus Young!

[hiladelphia]

@SantaBaby401 Of course everyone can imitate him.

1 average guitar player

2 Wear no shirt

3 do stupid moves like a chimp

4 do stupid faces

5 DONE xD

[esubadog]

@hiladelphia Now all you need is rhythm, melody, technique, vibrato.....you know....talent?

I would love to hear your lame ass playing guitar, good luck playing guitar anywhere close to Angus Young. Douchebag.

[hiladelphia]

@esubadog Ive got rhytm, melody, fucking technique, vibrato, tapping, and obivously this guy has rhythm, doesnt have melody hes just improvising 3 note solo's and he has no technique cuz he does it fast so his mistakes cant be heard, no vibrato at al LOL

You soon ill check my holy ass playing guitar bitch in the meantime check out Paul GIlbert

[TheDanny385]

@hiladelphia sure u do.. and hes got more melody in his ass than u will ever have

[hiladelphia]

@TheDanny385 yeah whatever bitch

[robbbnibn]

@TheDanny385 If you think "melody" is spamming 3 pentatonic notes over and over again. Lemme guess, never touched a guitar yourself?

[TheDanny385]

@robbbnibn thats not the only thing he plays you know? and if by "melody" you mean a guy making weird sounds by hitting the guitar with your palm, lemme guess, never touched a guitar yourself?

[robbbnibn]

@TheDanny385 lol have you seen ur own uploads of the van halen cover on som cheap yamaha fake strat? it suck ballss so hard it hurts my ears.

[TheDanny385]

@robbbnibn oh youre talking about the year old video with my old guitar?

[tiziocaiosampronio]

Where is the last licks live?

[snookerkingexe]

@tiziocaiosampronio It's from "Let There Be Rock - The Movie" Live in Paris 1979 ;) In my opinion the best concert ever from AC/DC! ;)

[ArkoMusicK]

just a question, why is he never wearing a shirt :P

[snookerkingexe]

@ArkoMusicK Because he rocks so hard, hat he sweats all the time ;)

[DasBingo111]

@snookerkingexe

awesome Answer :D

[Diego10DR]

@snookerkingexe It's beacause he does a strip in the middle of the show when he plays the jack... any AC/DC fan would know that

[snookerkingexe]

@Diego10DR Not just when playing the jack, thats just the Black Ice Tour Strip-Song . Remember Jailbreak, Bad Boy Boogie, Boogie Man, Baby Please Dont Go, ... All Strip-SOngs from him ;)

[egyman990]

@ArkoMusicK he wears a shirt til thay play jailbreak

[troyboutso]

@ArkoMusicK cause the shirt just hold him back brother

[TrueDarkLink]

@ArkoMusicK Cause it will go up in flames from his solo if he doesnt take it off !

[possumania1]

Thanks for this great video. A Great Combination of Angus Youngs licks and style.

[motormatordesbastard]

w lick 6! very very good tabs!

[Enstanada]

brb im going to practice this haha

[GuitarFox200]

thank you so much for posting, gonna be so fun to play theese =]

[meatballminer]

i dont care what anyone says, this guy is one insane mother fucker. I like how he like plays this fast without really ever pulling off or hammering on, he usually tries to hit every note!

[jaydenftw]

songsterr . com solves your problems

[buzzkiller98]

I dont get the tab for lick 1

[derkatzen57]

it´s good!

[rider660r]

55 TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[MAGuitar11]

Sick idea of making this video but I wouldve used different licks, maybe from the part before they play jailbreak in AC/DC Live, that was good but other than that, nice video.

[airborn97]

yes i agree

[zirconiumeffect]

i don't get how you pulloff 4th fret to open b and then hammer on the seventh fret...... yea in stuck on the last one.

[snookerkingexe]

where is the problem? I dont understand? pull of 4th Fret with your first FInger to open B-String and after that Hammer On in the 7th Fret with your pinky ... where is the Problem?

[zirconiumeffect]

nevermind i figured it out. i couldn't get any sound when i hammered the 7th and i kept practicing and now i got it down. thenks for the tabs

[TheINDOMASTER]

snookerkingexe, I never see (i know, my english is very worse) a very good video like this ! It's fabulous ! Great job !

[AlpiRocker]

GREAT

[Jokieish]

not so awesome

[ACdeniaDC]

I recently saw AC/DC during one of their Black Ice tour concerts , and Angus did a 20 min solo with the rest of the band backing him during the song Let There Be Rock. I was impressed becuase his soloing sounded very much like the clasic blues rockers and he would play notes on diferent strings not adjacent at the same time, did incredible extensiones and all sort of chromatic, riffs , and tricks. he is a virtuoso who if he would have wanted to could have easily played anything.

[3dpaper]

the basics idea of Angus Young Solo

1. take the minor pentatonic scale is e or a

2. Choose 3 notes

3. Play those notes with increasing speed

thats sort the general idead

[svenskgitarrist]

this is great! but do you think that you could tab out his solo parts in the jailbreak-solo at donington?

[pablovin96]

dis is sick man thanks....oh and wen u find da rest of ta tabs for da last lick...write back man cuz i love dat solo thanks man u rock ;)

[abrahamlxc]

[b0nsc0ttr0ck]

I dont wna dissapoint but its easy as hell to figure out how to play something like that... 3 notes on two different strings. The guy who made this video has chosen the easiest licks

[bramnokia]

[snookerkingexe]

[masan3llo]

i love you man! thanks so freaking much, rock on!

[MISTIKRAIN88]

angus young is a legend!!

but is very easy

[FinalFight323]

He's an awesome guitarist, but sure as fuck overrated.

[ShakingAtTheKnees]

I love the lick at 3:27. His guitar in that part is awesome too.

[jiffithebest]

angus young is verry good

[jiffithebest]

thank

[sgorongongoro69]

this video is wonderful!! and angus young is the bestguitarrist of all the time!!

[ProdigyGuitarPlayer]

AC/DC is the definition of rock and roll, and Angus Young is the definition of awesome. he is the best guitarist of all time no dobut

[9009roksatar9009]

@ProdigyGuitarPlayer for sure. i agree fully

[wannabeserpento99]

@ProdigyGuitarPlayer  Hahahahahahashashasd

[blazingman49]

Angus is my idol he moved me to play guitar and this video moved me also great vid dude great vid!!

[TheDarkrider1234]

I love Angus...i hate angus!!! Hes so good :( hes got insane speed...<3 lol

[TheAcdcnz]

same here man. dude1040 u must not know much abowt music and guitar angus young is amazing at solos lisen to hells bells, highway to hell, back in black,etc. all those solos are mean as and if u dont agree i feel bad for u.

[meBeJC88]

angus inspireed me to play guitar...rock on

[guitarist0201]

anyone who thinks angus doesnt still have it is a fuckin idiot. i saw him live last year and he has it alright.oh and dude1040 FUCK YOU. u think angus is bad at soloing. hes probably the greatest.

[gewoonbilly]

big ac/dc fan here,

and i think that angus has still got the magic.

he's is just great in his way!!! the AC/DC way!!

[Rock4Eva91]

@gewoonbilly ME TOO MAN im in a bandand whenever were just hangin or takin a break between im always playin some of angus's solos or some acdc song and the guyz in the band get so pist but all i say is that AC/DC is the best i dont care wat everybody else says THEY ROCK!!!!!!

[YAZZ69er]

angus is a decent player,, and a legend of rock 4 sure,, this just isnt the greatest example of his playing,, not calling him bad though

[1fanMJ]

angus the best!

[Spyroslol]

ohh drugs

[BlueMoon329]

Angus never did drugs

[Spyroslol]

xaxaxaxaaxaxaxa you have sense of humor xaxaxaxa

[MotorFF]

thank you

good video!

[YAZZ69er]

thats not very good,, back then mabe,, but today,, thats nothing & everyone here knows it,, his feeling is all hes got

[jOsHkInG101]

It's not about speed, it's about feeling. David Gilmour could inspire more people to play or move them more than any neo-classical guitarist can, In my opion

[DuDe1040]

yes but i can make a better solo in rock style that CHOULD influence a lot of people if angus plays it..i dont know why are you so protective when even angus doesent give a shit what people say...he suck at soloing ...good at writing riffs

[jOsHkInG101]

I wasn't protecting him. I was protecting his style and choice not to play extremly fast.

[caradeanousado]

you suck at commenting....good at nothing

[usakadam]

you chosen from worse solos!

[hardACDCFan]

you recorded this from ur tv. lol i would do the same thing for any reason, i got live at donnington.

kikass video.

i dunn understand all those graphs i just play guitar and memorise.

rock on!!!

[ShakingAtTheKnees]

That third one what concert and song is that from? Same for the fourth

[snookerkingexe]

Third one was in Donington during the Let There Be Rock Solo. And same for the fourth ;)

[babykirbyman]

the O are on top of the 2 4 5 in the D or w/e.

[snookerkingexe]

Its explained at the begining of the video: You should repeat the Lick as often as needed ;)

[babykirbyman]

thx alot but i have a question

like for example the third one that goes

2 4 5 e 2 4 5 a,it has like O`s or 0`s whats that open? or just for...?idk. plz help

[ulises994]

Angus Young is a really leyend of rock

[jackielee62]

bad ass guitarist!!!!

[SuperGuitar6]

it isn't such heavily, but he is the best

[TheBrowling]

Upps! I forgot!! great video, thanks for doing it and hope you transcribe more licks and post them!

5/5

[TheBrowling]

The Figaro Lick (the one at 2:50) is the most difficult to play. It's difficult if you're a begginer to not play the other strings while doing hammers and pulls, and for me the most difficult part is to play with the pinky finger the hammers... I don't have enough strenght because I almost don't use it when playing...

[EarlTheFirst]

my favourite is the one at about 2:50

[JimmyPageTheGod]

GREAT JOB MAN !

[castellar96]

The last 1 is tricky to get so fast

[axxxozzy]

its easy !

[CastroL94]

lol

i love from 0:14 to 0:16

[VoltaikOfficial]

you picked the worst ones

[guitarlord58]

he picked the EASIEST ones, i never thought they were that easy but i can play em all

[BarriosGroupie]

Nicely put to gether, but these riffs are easy :)

[LargoMadMan]

You fail epiclly XD

[Silkroad773]

lick 6 is wrong

[adioskater900]

[Silkroad773]
