Gretsch G6131-MY Malcolm Young Signature Jet and SoloDallas SOLO-X: Live Wire 

Post some evidence of your playing please, I'd love to see it.

Not really. You just play the cords one 8th note early every bar and you got it!

I agree, hard to get the groove right on that bit, and It's where all the attitude is

What is that you add to the fret of the SG?

@@tonytrotter2708 Probably just tape: to mute the high strings while he's playing Angus' rhythm parts so they don't ring out in the recording.

You're a man after my own heart with a pure AC/DC ear.

Diego, ACDC aren’t “good”, hermano; they are “amazing”

Vive Chile MIERDA!

LOL Randy you gave me the laugh of the day - thank you brother! Fil

(grateful!)

We better nail it - or bust!!!

Appreciate you. The fact is though that, modern alternatives don't deliver - most of the times. In recent years, Gibson, Gretsch and Fender have gotten better at nailing the same quality (guitars) and then, sound, that their original, vintage counterparts used to deliver (still do). But the newer gear is harder to make work in these contexts. Which is what drove the vintage market to the levels it's mostly been at in the past decades. Nowadays, companies like mine (for example) DO offer some products that will 'warm up' the colder, stiffer instruments that one can find as modern alternatives - so there's that as a positive aspect. The amplifiers we featured on this video, as for another, practical example, are ours (you can see it via our logos on the amplifiers themselves). That was a huge effort on out part in terms of research, investment, time, skill et cetera. I hope you'll enjoy that.

@@SoloDallas what I mean is the vibe of 60s gear seems to be somewhat reachable. With your gear. With todays money.

Mal used Superbasses for the most part; but the SD50 is essentially a modified JTM45 WHICH was a bass amplifier and which SERVED as the basis for the Superbass by Marshall itself. If one is careful enough, many sounds can be had

No no, we shot it in the light

Curious myself. Looks like clear adhesive tape. Why?

@@fieraci8500 I think it's to serve as a partial capo to make the B power chord ring out differently. If you listen to the original the chord also rings out with that weird high-pitched effect as well, which I'm assuming was emulated in this case by using tape to keep the B fretted at the 12th, which is the octave of the B played within the chord normally.

According to The Story of AC/DC: Let There Be Rock, Angus Young created the distinctive opening guitar part by playing with all the strings taped up, except the B. It was a studio trick he learned from his older brother George Young, who produced some of AC/DC's albums and was in a band called The Easybeats.
