AC/DC Workshop - Malcolm Young Playing Tips (Part 2/2)

[neverlatelys]

You've got the sound perfectly. Great work!

[Mondeoboy89]

i've heard that malcom uses very thick strings, what kind of strings do you use?

[snookerkingexe]

@Mondeoboy89 at the moment I use 11-52gauge strings with a wounded G-string (Malcolm uses 12-56) ...Its a nice compromise between fat sound and good playability :)

Greetings!

[GuitarRock6]

I learn a lot of things, thanks !!

( are you german ? I'm from France :D )

[math101a]

What presets do you use for Guitar rig? :-)

[snookerkingexe]

@math101a At this time I used the Guitar Rig 3 presets from André's great Site jaiminhopage (dot) com :) You can download them there :)

Did you change the bridge pickup to a filtertron pickup ??

[snookerkingexe]

@MyBGIbson yeah, well observed, I've put in a standard Gretsch Filtertron Pickup

[d33ferer]

you make it sound like rocky mountain way by triamph.. :) good work though. Like the tone

[rockymtrocker]

Hello to you and anyone else that wants to comment here (may be soory I said that LOL)

I had a near death accident a couple of years back that left me with shaking hands (essential tremors) since then, I can't control my fingers even for a simple walk down like the one in Shoot to Thrill. Has anyone got any ideas? And don't say ("Stop playing LOL) I love guitars too much! See my pathetic video for what I mean

[ACDCOrDie]

Great man :D This really helps, I might be uploading a vid soon too. What kind of amp are you using? great tone

[snookerkingexe]

@ACDCOrDie Thanks dude! =) I'am using Guitar Rig 3 in this video ;)

[MatzeHellwig]

Hey Exe, was hast du denn da für einen netten Vox?^^ Ist das eins dieser neuen Teile, VT+ oder wie die auch heißen? :)

Grüße!

[snookerkingexe]

@MatzeHellwig Ui ney, dass war mein allererster Verstärker, n Vox AD15 VT (alte Serie^^) vor 2 Jahren oder so gekauft und zum Üben immer noch hervoragend geeignet!

Grüße!

[MatzeHellwig]

@snookerkingexe achso, auch gut ^^ ...

schade, sonst hätt ich dich gefragt, wie die neue VT+ Serie so ist. ;)

keep on Rockin'!

[faaradar]

Thanks Snooker. Appreciate the tips. Question on the palm mutes section? I think you are adding more strokes to the chords and muting with your right hand, is that correct?

Chuck

[snookerkingexe]

@faaradar Yes I'm uting with my right hand BUT you can also mute with your left, when your fingers gentle touch the strings! Thats one thing I want to point out, but unfortunatley I forgot to say it in the video =(

[ProdigyGuitarPlayer]

"it's not important if you look like a nerd or a complete retard" ahahahahahahhahahhahaha

[snookerkingexe]

@ProdigyGuitarPlayer Thats it! I'm the best example for looking like a retard while playing, muhaha! xD

Greetings! =)

[ProdigyGuitarPlayer]

@snookerkingexe haha no you don't look like a retard lol. i just thought that was funny when you said that!

[acdc933ty]

[messybluesboy]

[SteveShivik]

Great video! I really wish I had had this video around when I was trying to learn this style. Also for someone who isn't even from an English speaking country, you do damn fine speaking! I could understand everything you said and I really appreciate your hard work, thanks man! Rock on!

[snookerkingexe]

@SteveShivik Thank you very much! =) Glad you appreciate it! I hope I could help some beginners who wants to play good music, lol^^ An I'm glad that it seems to be understandable =)

[SteveShivik]

@snookerkingexe It's great! and also just in time to help my friend who is a beginner! Thanks again man!

[peterwheeler1]

[snookerkingexe]
