MasterThatRiff 1! - AC/DC "Back In Black"

[jimihendrixfan2008]

I'd never thought I'd learn this...until now. Thanks buddy!

[sportsportsport]

is that a Gary Moore les paul?

[mastertheguitar]

@sportsportsport It is/was

[legatotechniques]

good

[liammoviemaker]

Screw the good lesson, I'm feasting my eyes on that great LP.

BEST ROCK TEACHER EVER UR THE BEST

[GxtmXIronMetal]

omg u are so awesome i learn much from u

[musicmanjdk]

OMG this guy actually knows what he's doing! Great video!

[Kaaru]

I've always played the last part of that riff pivoting on the 2nd fret A string while walking up 4, 5, 6, 7 on the E string.

[mastertheguitar]

@Kaaru Indeed, that's the way Angus himself plays it. When I did the video I had always felt that was a bit of a stretch and assumed it was played on the E string.

[Kaaru]

@mastertheguitar Yeah, it is more difficult to play that way. I can't stretch, so I have to shift quickly between positions for the last few notes. The way you play it in this video is much more manageable.

[javortgon]

Great lesson. Can you give more zoom to the left hand?

Greetings

[mastertheguitar]

@javortgon Thanks man! Later vids have a close up shot, only had one camera back then :)

[gh3master69]

man u rock! thanks a lot

[AndresBurrito10]

Dude, the first vid you teach us to play is AC/DC?!?!? ALRIGHT! I <3 Angus Young! I subscribed to you because of this!

Rock on! \m/

[CCRockit]

Could've sworn i was listening to the real thing.

[BrushfireDbomb]

i cant get the fist fill th 3 0 30 30

[Redsox07rbeast]

its awesome how angus young is one of the only higher level guitarists who uses open chords in essentially every song, and makes it sound wicked kickass

[tatethompson1234]

@Redsox07rbeast well also you got malcom,who wrote all the songs and riffs. plus you have both of em playing at same time so it sounds like its more powerful

[LongLiveTheBlues]

@Redsox07rbeast thats true actually never thought of that, all these days its just power chords!

[boomxpassion]

Can you say me the settings on the legacy? its different than the trash tone that you use for the other songs... THNKS

[mastertheguitar]

I assume you mean 'thrash' tone? ;)

Can't recall the settings exactly for this but I run the Legacy with high mids typically about 7 with high Treble and Presence also around 7 or 8.

HTH

[boomxpassion]

emm trash tone like the Metallica tones :) ..... or stuff like that haha srry

[nottsbrit]

Thanks mate! I'm a novice guitarist who has got this one now! Working on my Velvet Revover! The best and easiest to follow online guitar lesson I've seen yet!Thanks again.

[wilierfender]

grazie, molto bravo!

[Mystical7899]

Awesome guitar, you explain this well!

JamPlayDotCom sucks! They think you do a pull-of on the "D" power chord. Way to go, and thanks!

[SweetZombiJesus]

How many guitars do you have; you have a different one every video. Then again, when someone is as good as you...

[Fribbe]

Nice, love you videos mate! I'm right now looking for a really good and powerful metal amp, can you recommend any? :)

[mastertheguitar]

ENGL's are pretty extreme if you can get a go of one to try :)

[Fribbe]

Yeah sure! At the local store they have a whole stack of ENGL's :D

[guitarz04]

dude get a marshall

[mastertheguitar]

Err no thanks ;)

[downhillbiker07]

nice job : )

[rpbizzle]

Thanks alot for the lessons man. BTW how many guitars do you have?! :)

[61LPSG]

I want your amp :) Cool videos btw. Your tone is great.

[fitenite]

great vid man...thanks alot for not just playin the song with a close up of your hands. this is one of the few

videos online at is actually a lesson.

[Roadrunner334]

good vid, the only acdc song i can play is like 44 sec inot highway to hell lol

[mastertheguitar]

Yeah Legacy is a valve amp :). The Les Paul is a Gary Moore sig model. The neck humbucker is a stock Burstbucker which was orientated b/w. I swapped out the bridge pickup for another zebra pickup, a Seymour Duncan JB which is standard as w/b. And yes I love the w/b b/w look for two zebra pickups :).

[fmbighair]

AWESOME raw rock n roll tone..can i ask you what is in your guitar rig for this clip? I am guessing maybe that sweet soldano behind you? Definitly sound like a nice tube amp. My favorite parts are when you play open chords/power chords that ring out, the way your amp's voiced it makes this metallic tube sound, very nice...let me know how ya get that? like at 2:02 is just kick ass sounding!

[mastertheguitar]

Rig was simply Les Paul -> Carvin Legacy with ambient mic. HTH :).

[ciaoKitty13]

thanks, i've been wanting to learn this. yay for scots!
