  • to the people that believe Mick Thomson, or Jimmy Hendrix what you have to understand is that there seems to be some sort of war going on between artists that play different styles of a single genre or a different genre altogether for fuck sake, you people do not realize this but Angus Young, Jimmy Hendrix, Frank Zappa, they're all different styles of genre or different genre and when it comes to that you have to realize certain people are kings and gods of different genre and styles.

  • @andrewcairns11 Angus Young is the god of Rock N Roll as well as Hard Rock, but I can say Slash gets advantage in the Blues Rock, but Slash know as one of the greatest guitarist out of many, learned after Angus Young, and Angus Young learned after many other great guitarists before playing with AC/DC. learn people. it's about who better at the certain style of a genre or a genre itself, AC/DC are obviously unbeatable at Rock N Roll and Hard Rock, Slash is unbeatable at Blues Rock. get the idea??

  • iim confused ...is angus British or Australian ?

  • @Alfiiesyrett Australian

  • @Alfiiesyrett British but he moved to Australia in his Childhood as did most of the current band the only Australian born is Phil Rudd (drummer)

  • @Alfiiesyrett he's a Scottish born Australian

  • I don't think he plays much anymore.

  • @kevoishere1 they did a world tour 3 years ago.. i watched them live, and it was awesome.

  • why do people take the piss out of bieber so much hes just a kid leave him alone and enjoy your music i dont like his music at all but who cares

  • @ibanezbloke might be to someone ..?

  • It's not what you do, but how you do it. Angus plays in the most unique way.

  • who is this? justin bieber rocks!!

  • @loyster : u sir are a troll :D u jelly troll?

  • @loyster SHUT THE FUCK UP! GO LEARN HOW TO PLAY XYLOPHONE AND CLOSE YOUTUBE!

  • @loyster

  • @loyster Justin Bieber sucks, and this is Angus Young he's better than Justin Bieber

    although he does deserve a bit of respect NOT!! you fucking troll

  • Sabrá mi novia que me gusta Angus Young Y que escucho AC/DC todo el día Me vuelvo loco si pon‚s "Black in Black" Y no saldré‚ jamás sin mi uniforme escolar Me miran no lo puedo creer Porque yo no quiero parecer Yo quiero ser... Como Angus Young Sabrá mi novia que me gusta Angus Young Y que lo escucho en el auto de ella En un espejo nunca me miraré‚ Porque hoy mi espejo es una foto de él. Letra de Cancion Angus Young de Kapanga

  • There's room in the rock world for everybody to make a place for themselves. Where I come from we respect each other and feel that we are in a brotherhood. All helping to carry the Rock n Roll banner. All these bands have an audience which in the end adds up to the fact that if they really sucked...They wouldn't have an audience, wouldn't sell records and wouldn't sell out concert halls. :)

  • An excellent guitarist, but it wasn't a "lesson" by any stretch of the imagination.

  • I never realized how small he is!

  • That's actually an SG Junior he's playing in this video. '61 I believe. My best friend had the same exact model. It's got 1 p90 PU in it. Really nice sound.

  • in 6:20 can anyone tell me the song ?? plz

  • @Asakura834 let there be rock

  • @ThePyroslicer thanks a lot !!!!

  • @Asakura834 Let there be rock. When Bon was still alive (now 32 years ago RIP), Bon used to take Angus on his shoulders and carry him around playing the solo in concert. It could last for 10 minutes.

  • does angus have an air to the throne of rock and roll?

  • My only gripe is this is not really a "lesson" video. He just demonstrates various styles. But it was cool to hear about his idols growing up.

  • He makes it sound so easy!!!! Angus is GOD!!!!

  • I don't really like ac/dc all that much but I sure do respect them.

  • cool

  • Jeez... Brian Johnson is terrible.

  • I was kind of shocked when I saw how big the guitar looked. Never knew he was that small

  • Ruined, at 1:55... by Brian Johnson's voice. Just like every other AC/DC song he's every sang, live or in the studio.

    I don't say 'Bon Scott forever!!' to be a retarded, 'true-blue' fan boy of the 'good ol' days'... I say I have hated Brian's voice from the very first note I ever heard come out of his awful, raspy blow-hole.

    Always will. =)

  • @runthemachine now we know.

  • @evilhubert .. believe it.

    (sorry about the 'y' in what should have been 'ever'. Can't edit YT comments, so...)

  • Never seen him in a t shirt and jeans

  • AC/DC Are amazing live.

  • i literally have a man crush on angus

  • Even when Angus doe his Chuck Berry, you can still tell it's him

    AC/DC has that signature sound, it's amazing!

  • Ya know?

  • What are 22 Bieber and Gaga fans doing on here in the first place!

  • This is a "lesson"?

  • <3

  • so cute.. *-*

  • you know the thing about Angus is , aside from playing the guitar, his on-stage antics are so entertaining ..would be boring if he just stood there playing .

  • one question I'd ask would be where he (angus) got that scratching-the-pick-across-the­-strings-thing from, he does it in nearly every single ac/dc song, at least during live performances..

  • @bustedup Are you talking about a pick-slide? Lots of artists do that.

  • @OldMusicftw yes they do, in fact from my many years of studying and playing the guitar with practice the pick slide used by many artists including Angus Young is a very useful technique it basically combines a power slide and guitar scratches at the same harmonic level of each other giving it a powerful pick slide or as Angus Young calls the the PPS (Plectrum Power slide). if an of this made sense to you bro :)

  • Grew up listening to AC/DC.............long live the king's !

  • I'v never seen a hobbit play guitar so well.

  • When you have written the worlds second highest selling record of all time (Back in Black 50m +) that pretty much beats whether you can manage a sweep arpegio or not! Its all about the track not the technical input. Compare how many records someone like malmsteen has sold.

  • @proenergis You pretty much said it all. It's all about the feeling.

  • @proenergis It doesn't matter how many records someone has sold, it's all about where their heart is and how passionate they are about their music. Angus beats anybody at that, he's always stayed true to himself and his music and more importantly, he's not a sell-out like a lot of guitarists in major rock bands! Music>Money

  • @proenergis If sales figures were an accurate measure of quality, then Britney Spears' "Baby One More Time" is better than any album by Queen... I do hope you agree that that isn't the case.

    Back in Black trumps Malmsteen because of quality song writing, not it's chart figures ^_^

  • @Winterdenni Ha ha a good point very well made!

  • @proenergis I thought it was 3rd, behind The Dark Side of the Moon.

  • @th3Invincible They've always been neck-and-neck and Back In Black has been ahead for the most part, also keep in mind that Dark Side Of The Moon was released 7 years before Back In Black came out.

  • @proenergis third highest, it sold 49 million. right behind pink floyd and michael jackson

  • @proenergis That's flawed logic. By your reasoning, Lady Gaga is better than Black Sabbath.

  • @ibanezbloke Shes a better dancer!

  • @ibanezbloke totally right.

  • @ibanezbloke technically yes. she is both creative, classical trained, obviously insane (eccentric at the least), has a GIGANTIC audience, and respectable catalogue of music regardless of what music snobs think. i love black sabbath, but have NOTHING against lady gaga. a TRUE musician and an actual inspiration to people, unlike these x factor types.

  • @ibanezbloke according to some people she is thats there taste just because your taste is different doesnt mean everyone else is wrong

  • @proenergis Erh? Being a good musician and making good music is all about selling records huh? By that logic people like Jimmy Hendrix, Robben Ford, Miles Davis, B.B King, Keith Jarrett and John Mayor really have nothing on great musicians like Madonna, Backstreet Boys and even Justin Bieber (if you regard how long they've been active).

  • @buugiman78 That is clearly not the case and it wasnt the point I was making. I was merely attempting to address negative comments made about his technical ability as a guitarist.

  • @proenergis Well, that WAS the point you made. You said: "Compare how many records someone like malmsteen has sold", which can't be understood in any other way than that you regard number of records sold as a marker of musical quality. You know people can't read your mind. The point you were trying to make is not a difficult one to make. Just say that you don't have to play lightning fast complicated licks in order to make good music or be a good musician. There you go.

  • @proenergis sweep arpegio = sweep picking?

  • @proenergis And yeah I totally agree. I think malsteem is very versed in his theory and knows his scales inside and out and can play very well but I'd much rather lsiten to Jimmy Page for example because his improvs and riffs are just fucking amazing.

  • That isn a real lesson ...

  • Angus Young is the following things:

    Superman of Rock n Roll

    God of Rock n Roll

    God of the guitar

    PS: No one can play like Angus Young, there is only one Angus Young and there will never be another.

  • @andrewcairns11 Angus Young For President!! XD

  • @totterdell yep I'm with you

  • @andrewcairns11 Could say the same about Eddie, Jimmi, Jimmy, Brian...

  • @andrewcairns11 god, you are clever!

  • @andrewcairns11 slight exaggeration. slight.

  • @andrewcairns11 what about malcolm.......

  • @andrewcairns11 Just to correct to I agree that Angus is a God BUT Malcolm writes all the songs!

  • @DudeWheresMySandwich Malcolm and Angus write the songs together along with Brian Johnson, how do I know because I asked Malcolm if writes the songs and he's like "no I write them with Angus and Brian, it was the same when Bon was here"

  • @andrewcairns11 yeah, he's pretty cool but i think you are the total fan b/c whilst being a very good guitarist he has never made that leap to being "godlike"...that's reserved for the likes of SRV for instance...but yeah, Angus rocks

  • @andrewcairns11 one man bit chuck norris in a guitar batle ANGUS

  • @andrewcairns11 Ever heard of Frank Zappa?

  • @zZorgZz na i've never heard of Frank Zappa

  • @andrewcairns11 If you are actually serious (wich would surprise me)

    Listen to his music. Angus Young is nothing, compared to him

  • @zZorgZz yes but they're both different style of the genre or whatever, Angus Young is the god along with the rest of AC/DC they recreated Rock N Roll in a more powerful and raw way.

  • @andrewcairns11 You can thank Frank Zappa for songs like Highway To Hell didn't get censored and can still air on the radio today. And Frank Zappa didn't try to recreate anything. He was so far ahead of his time that we are still learning from his music today. And that is rock, country, electronica, jazz and whatever.

  • @zZorgZz Frank Zappa is into genre like Progressive rock, experimental rock, jazz fusion, art rock, avant-garde, classical, Comedy rock, where as AC/DC are into pure raw powerful Rock N Roll/Hard Rock, they're both different genre's you don't know who's better unless they would either play the same genre or at least battle it out on a certain genre, so I don't know atm I believe Angus Young learned after Frank Zappa which is why he might be so good,

  • @andrewcairns11 No one can sing like William Hung, there is only one William Hung and there will never be another.

  • @guitarslim56 LMAO!

    

  • @andrewcairns11 I know someone that plays better than him,Mick Thomson and James Root :)

  • @RKBM182 yes but they both play different genre's comparing a metalist to a rocker is not right, Angus is the god of rock guitar and all of the rock guitar

  • Angus is one of the best guitarists of all time. (Let's not forget his brother Malcolm who gives Angus all of the rhythm space so he can crank out those amazing leads).

  • never actually realized how small he actually is

  • 19 people are just plain tired of AC/DC

    Angus is a great guitar player, but the band he's in is the most overplayed band since.. ever. It's like the filler radio stations buy when they have nothing else to play.

  • Yeah, good to see Angus playing a SG Junior. A pure and straight Guitar, pretty cool.

  • Shame the video and sound quality isn't as good as the musician

  • He knows he is the best haha.

  • I never realized how little Angus is. Dude can whale that guitar though!

  • @toml71 How could you have not noticed that? Those SGs and Gretsches look like basses in Angus's and Malcolm's hands.

  • @toml71 I was thinking the same, haha.

  • @toml71 i read that he tried a gibson les paul but it was too heavy for him, thats why he choosed the SG !

  • @redneckpowertruck shoot... i replied before the end of the video  lol

  • если сидеть и смотреть на этого человека не зная кем он является - я никогда не поверил бы что он собирает стадионы фанатов , армия поклонников во всём мире....

  • i can relate to the small hands, just what god gave me, sorry got what i go, use what you got

  • @bluegrassman776 lçlll

  • ac/dc has always maintained its "brand"...

    but VH withe the changes in lead singers and the mudslinging and fighting...they hurt their "brand"....

    i believe with the new VH cd which is great..and the coming tour...they should try to rehabilitate their "brand" with fans...

    and i think they will...

    VH must look at ac/dc and handle themselves the same way.

  • down to earth friendly kindfull But ONE OF THE BEST ROCKERZ OF ALL TIME .we need more like him iam sick of those cool moviestar rockerz

  • I miss my SG..... :(

  • @svtcobra666

    What happened to it?

  • first time i see him in jeans xd

  • he could compensate by ordering up a Musicman with a smaller fretboard. the SG sound is signature tho. its got that crunch that make his rhythm playing unique.

  • Amazing how Malcolm holds down the rhythm on any performance of Let There Be Rock...he never let's up

  • was she a great big fat lady?

  • @TheAxis456 Yeah...she was a big girl, sir.

  • @gigisdad Was she named Rosie?

  • @zztoprules1 no...Frederica Bimmel

  • Saw these guys waaaaay back in Glasgow, Scotland with Bon Scott at the Apollo. About 6 months later Bon was gone.. Great rock band. The rythm that drives them between drum and guitars is outstanding. Comes over as a straight ahead guy with no big ego as a guitar player. Must be that Scots upbringing : )

  • lol he looks like my friend who jams an sg

  • oh my gawd ♥ love him. His voice is kinda...special *_*

  • He says Chuck in funny way.

  • Notice how his guitar changes between 1st and 3rd minute of interview.

  • I started playing in 93. My first real guitar was a 61SG reissue I paid $600 for. Got into Kiss, then traded it for a baby blue Les Paul Custom with a Floyd Rose. Major facepalm moment in hindsight.

  • 2:30 noticed how the drummer got slower?

  • play, no talking!!!!!!

  • @andrewcairns11 No one can play like Angus hahhahahahahaha

  • @andrewcairns11 bitch, no one can play as good as Angus Young!

  • @CoolHand190

    Hundreds of people can play better. Check out Warren Haynes.

  • @oddbarrows Sure , but it is not about technical sides that makes music great , something simple can sound ten times better , look at it as an sleek looking ferrari opposed to an overdone import , in my opinion it is the simpleness of some guitarists wich makes them genius !

  • @creationoftheworld

    Ferraris ARE overdone imports. ;)

  • @oddbarrows You must not know much about cars if you really think that !

  • @creationoftheworld

    Hate to break it to you, but Ferrari are imports from Italy. Overdone imports that can't be repaired except by specialists who charge thousands on top of the already expensive parts.

    If the example was a charger or boss 302 I'd have went along, but no.

  • @oddbarrows I come from europe so they are not imports to me , regardless of what your taste is you completely missed the point !

  • @CoolHand190 exactly right

  • Comment removed

  • I once saw someone mess up and spell Chuck Berry "Buck Cherry". I exploded with laughter.

  • @thehobbit1116 Thats where the band got their name

  • soo nice to see them talking and teatchin ..really apreciable gesture ! great people !

  • Angus do his best? He IS the Australian/Scottish Chuck Berry!

  • the thing is - those guys are not great because of their guitar skill - they are great because of their personalities and musicianship. these steve vai fellow is a high-class guitarist yet not a good musician

  • Comment removed

  • 19 people are on the highway to hell for disliking this

  • 19 people don't know what REAL rock 'n' roll is.

  • 19 people dont have a life

  • how does he get that sound is his distortion? i really want to know

  • angus blows at guitar, my asshole plays better

  • WoW!! My cock is bigger than Angus...ACDC 4ever

  • best part 5:48 wenn he laught :D

  • What's the name of the song at 4:47?

  • @Nintendo129 idk but sounds kinda like decibel from black ice.

  • this man is too cute... 

  • I used to watch this heaps even know I didn't have a guitar back then

  • Angus will allways be like a 12 year old

  • 19 people are just plain brain dead.

  • i really like the idea that stars share their knowledge, superb!

  • aguante ANGUS!!!!

  • What a small man

  • @caponi14 Small, but perfectly formed!!

  • y'know you get that chuck.... chuck thing

  • brain damage from all the head banging

  • @d0ct0rsweet no, from smoking.

  • @HighAway a little of both maybe? Headbanging + smoking = extra brain damage...

  • Comment removed

  • @KingCrimson82 lol I am pretty positive that Angus Young headbanged throughout his whole career...I have seen live concerts where you cannot even see his face since he is headbanging so hard...well away with this headbanging talk it was just a simple comment lol

  • YOU KNOW? yeah i know

  • All you need to now about Angus is that he was part of the creation of AC/DC's best album - Back in Black. You won't find any guitar solo that rock harder than those.

  • I thought he was younger.
