[masononthelevel]

Don't listen to the haters bro: Only 9 people who voted didn't like your video compared to the over 100 who did including myself. You kick ass!!!

[SixStringGuitarist1]

This guy rules! I love how he tells the hates off. HAHA! blueberrycobbler got owned! Ahhh man... Oh, do you have the tabs to this song or did you learn it by ear?

[eduflo60]

Pelado capo!

[thesabbathzeppelin]

DONT LISTEN TO THE NASTY BULLSHIT THAT EVERY 1 SAYS TO U M8, I PLAY GUITAR AND U NAILED THIS SONG!!!!!

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

[korgtri]

Pretty good really. Dont know why some people are so negative if they havent got something constructive or decent to say why bother commenting. I like your responses too

[squierguitar94]

Don't listen to ppl that comment bad things,its becouse they 're jelous becouse they don't know how to play guitar! AC/DC Rocks!

[ninjaduderantaro]

good..man..keep up..i would like to play with you..this song..wana do it..??

r u on skype or gtalk..so that we can play it together..!?

AC DC its a long way to the top..

[zickovijch]

great man! u rocks

[thejesman]

Pretty cool, dude. I like how you played the bagpipes part, and threw some of your own licks in the solo.  Good stuff.

[epicsr]

Oh look. It's Billy Corgan again. Keep it up, Billy!

[Yoy0xx01]

good job man ! =) Rock<3

[chrissheridan714]

good job dude!

[MrKazRock]

Dla mnie było ok.

[fanofthemusic1090]

Hey man, fuck the people who put me thumbs down. It's my two cents, give me a fucking break.

[BStribute]

We play it in "B". Check out our version when you get a chance.

[Jaccadaccasg]

Your prety good a this you shuolf post a lesson on how to do it

[fanofthemusic1090]

The intro is just G sort of hammered onto A. You play the D and G strings open (G) for about an eighth step, then hammer the D and G onto the second frets playing the A open (A), continuing to strum A through the rest of the measure. It's easier than I made it sound, but hopefully it makes sense.

[Nuckes85]

hey, that`s a good job!

[59choppers]

i thought it was pretty damn good, thats excactly the way im learning the song right now , i hope its right , lol. but i been using a capo in the first fret, w standard tunning, sounds closer to me like the reg version-original, and better than standard tuning and no capo. i seen vids of guys playing this song in b, and c.. but only know a little bit about diff tunings,dadgad 1 song kashmir, and drop d fat bottomed girls. but again.....great job and im glad im not the only one a little confused

[srtgrayfrance]

The guitar is tuned to match the bagpipe. The drones are in F, but the chanter pipe is a bit weird.

[59choppers]

srtgrayfance, so to help me understand what you say about the drones in f,, a capo in the first fret would be f, am i right or wrong?,, i mean it sounds damn close to the studio recording. and by the way thank you for the reply, any help would def be a big help in my learning and continous progress. as i dont have a good ear, at being 49 years old.

[plstrom]

dude you are having fun over here,,, eheh, nice...

[Summerforever95]

dude, you look like you're playing this right before you open fire at a preschool or something. You're scary man!

[BoxingMadLad]

Are you called Adam Sampson?

[MrChristyhands]

SMILE

[guitarwizard9494]

mate, you look so bored !

[ramurel2006]

Bored? try bungee jumping...

[AcHeinrichdc]

cool

[SGfede]

Bravo, ma sarebbe meglio il suono di una SG ;)

[mattktori]

make a tutorial m8...good job ;D

[xXxACDCxXx88]

just one smile and ill be happy, just one

[ppbsb]

ok how are you tuned wrong makes no fucking sense how can you be in tune if your wrong, its different tuning half step down or full step or open g,d c,etc. whatever, go back to music 101. for this guy it was cool. he did an arraignment of both guitars did a good job.

[CerealKiIIer]

Smile next time ;)

[redfenderguy]

LOL

[lucarioguy102]

I thought he did quite well actually, Its hard to nail AC/DC songs to sound like they should, everyone says oh there only 3 chords but its 3 chords you need to play perfectly or you fail, this guy is so very close!

[pwarspwars]

I'm the biggest AC/DC fan on the face of the earth. I can play every note off every album. I know when all there birthdays are even past members ''Angus is god''

R. I. P Bon

and i hate it when people can't get the rythm right on this song. so sit down and listen to the song 50,000,000 times and try it again.

I also hate the comments on Along way to th... vids about the tuning. just use a fuckin' capo.

people should listen to more AC/CD

[jonvenners]

Oooooooooooooh!! - listen to you. I suggest you come down from up your own arse and try and get out more!! By the way, love your vids - oh sorry you haven't posted any!!

[shaunstrachan]

i doubt he can even play the keyboard let alone guitar m8.. and for the BIGGEST AC/DC FAN im shocked you would have 'Along way to th... ' so A and long are together in the title now? nice one.. dont believe a word. Back on topic, nice one poster, gd cover nice skills. Genuine man who likes the tune and is now playing it.. haters can go self harm in a corner or try it yourselves if you can do better. i know i sure as hell cant. 5*

[duncers79]

@jonvenners

i fink he cummin across as an asshole

he is SUCH an acdc geek. bet he wanks over them 2

i do like acdc. it just pisses me off wen they try to fink their better than humanity

[dkrasney]

@jonvenners GOT HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! post before you criticize douche nugget!

[FightingFinke]

@jonvenners pwnd..........

[p2dkk6]

@jonvenners

hot to ply plase talk

[p2dkk6]

@jonvenners

how to play plase talk, ja ja sorry my inglish dont good

[olithegummybear]

@pwarspwars You're clearly not the worlds biggest fan; you can't even spell the name right! It's AC/DC you imbecile. Great work 'jonvenners'  :)

[SNOOOOOO8]

@pwarspwars

dude you are a dreamer..

arrogant too

[TheIBANEX]

@pwarspwars bitch acdc didnt use a capo . andyou call sourself a acdc fan .

i can name every album and there releae date Look at me im better then everyone else . stupid fucker

[drumsthewordfan]

@TheIBANEX you know when you want to play by original tuning you play a b flat because the tuning at that time succed so he plays it with an open a whats okay wan you go on the second fret

[sonderwelt]

@pwarspwars thx mate... you were soooo right... but he's not a bad guitar player ... but the rhythm... jonvenners will (perhaps) never do it right,,,

[tempsave7]

This is because AC/DC don't know how to tune.

They're often tuned quarter- or half steps out.

Look for any old AC/DC video, Bon Scott era, you're gonna notice they're tuned a quarter or eighth step wrong almost every time.

[pwarspwars]

You just said that ''AC/DC don't know how to tune''.

you have no idea how much i want 2 kill you.

[tempsave7]

Well, did you listen to them? XD

They're not out of tune, they're just tuned wrong..

[tempsave7]

But they're the best rock band in the world dude so for them that's okay.

[jacobywilson]

nicely done. what is the main chorch you keep coming to? im very new to guitar but wish to learn!

[jamytom1992]

you should start givin online lessons

[SnakeMinced]

very very very goooood

plz a video lesson

[blueberrycobbler]

try to contain your excitement next time.

[jonvenners]

just logged in to have a look a some of your vids so I could get some tips on 'excitement'. Surprise surprise you have not uploaded any!!!!!!!!

Let's see what you can do instead of hiding behind your keyboard!!

[ZhaoYun8892]

Yeah, he re-tuned it one semitone up.

[frogman16]

awesome job...and for kicks i am looking into getting a similar les paul guitar and am curius how much they run price wise?

[pivotwarriorguy7]

wicked

[joaquin225]

5 stars

Your guitar looks like an Epiphone Les Paul Special II

I have the same guitar! :D

[smmnsSIC]

not gonna lie i thought it was fake too for a minute there lol. i was like 'why the f*** is he playing in the wrong fret' but then i realized your tuned down lawl me = dumb.

nice job

[spamerzz247]

Very nice...very clean.

Good job man, 5/5...

btw dont listen to some of these fuckheads.Nice.

[Harrywwebeltman]

nice guitar playing

[klaasie50]

AWESOME, that's how it should be played, Cheers!

[vicsanchez007]

That´s great!! Can you do a " close up" version or a slow motion version, to see a detail every step.

That will help a lot a beginners like me.

Gracias, keep the good rock ,,,, y que viva Mexico cabrones!!

[koumparas100]

fake

[jonvenners]

that's the second time you have posted your 'fake' comment. You obviously know nothing about guitar playing and spend your life putting down what other people do.

GET A LIFE!!!!!

[antsfart2]

its not fake you fool, this guys awesome..... keep posting jon nice one

[ehealo]

Good man!It's the dogs!!

[sharingan56789]

He don´t fake it this is how you play this song and it´s really good

[juvibcn]

I have this guitar. itss fantasticcc

[ZachValkyrie]

Gibsons have awesome sustains!

[fenderplayer489]

RESPECT!!!!!!!!!

that really good now just get a malcom guitar or an angus youg guitar

[yoraish]

verrrrryyy gggooooodddddd!!!!!

[lctrout]

The guy is good. He is smooth with his fret hand, and makes it look like he is not putting in "effort" to play. That is why it looks to you like he is faking it.

[TDreamer99]

this is better than the real version

[benjifique]

great job's verry good song

[RATPACKS9]

sorry my dad said that

[marineman310]

yah, make a video how to play that

[ltayl1]

U you can play any song on acoustic guitar, but if you want distortion on the guitar u need an amp and an electric/acoustic guitar. ( and also a guitar lead and effects pedals!)

[dontbefooled97]

pretty good

[jessicataa]

can you play it on acoustic coz i only have an acoustic guitar but im getting an electric one soon

[xxRockst4r]

as every guitarist's should now you can only play one guitar at the same.

[koumparas100]

fake

[HairyBosch]

Excellent work fella!

Bit of Malcolm, bit of Angus, all you need to do now is suss out how to play the pipes at the same time and you've cracked it!!

Seriously, well done mate, from a frustrated guitarist who can just about manage C,F, D and G!!!

[zZRockAngelZz]

Dude, you rock :)

What les paul is that? 0.o

[neoneo1793]

best cover of this song on youtube by far, sounded reallly good... keep it up! all you gotta do now is wear shorts... a button up shirt and a baseball cap... and grow some hair! you can be angus!

[SGdude93]

did u see SoloDallas' cover of this? its really well done

[skipstalforce]

nice, your to good for this song, you gotta dirty it up some to make it right

[countrysucksallot]

its good but the solo isnt accurate enough im 12 and i can do it more accurate but nice pretty sweet

[jonvenners]

perhaps you would be so kind as to share your virtuosity with us?

[sal25834]

[lolbobsquarepants]

Yeah!! You Rock !!!

[braziliandrummer1]

[bithpan]

[jonvenners]

[jonvenners]

tune your guitar up to the A and away you go!

good luck

[memmnock]

1 thing i have just noticed jon, you dont do any upstrokes the way i do it and thats what makes the rythme riff more whole and better sounding ;) I do it 2 down strokes-1 upstroke then 3 downstrokes :D

[memmnock]

Excellent Jon

[lamborghini226]

[poponey2]

ac/dc very amazing

[dioXxXtyler]

whats the chords

plz tell me plese!!!

[jonvenners]

basic G, A + D. If you are playing along to the album as I am doing you will have to tune your guitar up to be tuned in the same.

Good Luck!

Please feel free to rate and comment.

[dioXxXtyler]

whats the begging?

[fenderstratgirl]

u have inspired me 2 learn this now!!! thnks!!!

btw auwsum guitarin an solo

[poopkid4]

How much do you tune up, a half step up?

[jonvenners]

at least!

[poopkid4]

did they purposely do that or is it just something that just happened do to no tuners

[jonvenners]

early doors AC/DC were infamous for having different tunings. Not just per complete album but several songs on the same album would be tuned differently. It's almost as if they just used to turn up plug in and play! Only from back in black onwards do they keep a regular tuning.

[patman2112]

Well done!!! 5 STARS
