AC/DC have unquestionably created one of the greatest catalogs of guitar riffs in rock history.
Through many episodes of Gear Factor over the years, we've heard shredder after shredder tell us about the iconic AC/DC riffs that inspired them to pick up the guitar. See rockers like Zakk Wylde, Jared Dines, Mark Tremonti and Sum 41 talk about and play the songs that changed their lives.
AC/DC was formed in Australia in 1973 by brothers and guitarists Malcolm and Angus Young. After the death of vocalist Bon Scott in 1979, they returned with singer Brian Johnson and the instant-classic 1980 album Back in Black. In this video, you'll hear some of Angus and Malcolm's most unforgettable songs, such as "Highway to Hell," "Thunderstruck," "T.N.T." and "Hells Bells."

You beat me to it! Some appalling versions here, with way too much gain. Also, Bon died in 1980, not 1979, as written above. Sorry to Loudwire for the negative comment but the whole piece was wide of the mark.

For those mentioning how the tones aren’t accurate - I was in this video and was literally asked on the spot to do it backstage at a festival. No warning or thought beforehand. They plugged me into whatever amp was on site and pressed record. If we were in a studio dialing in a tone of course we could get closer if we wanted to but that’s not at all what this is about. It’s a discussion about the music we love, not a tutorial on replicating tone from a record. Anywho, I’m honored to appear in this video among so many greats. Long live AC/DC. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

Heya Lonny, I don't think anyone is trying to diss any specific guitarist, certainly not you. AC/DC fans just get tired of hearing people say AC/DC is 'easy' when Angus shits out 10 riffs per song that are better than any they could come up with if you gave them a lifetime. Difficult doesn't equal good. And not bashing on you because you definitely aren't one of those guys, you get it.

It was one of the most stoked bedroom sessions I’ve ever had. AC/DC is always hard to play. There’s nowhere to hide and you have to play it full tilt. You must commit or you eat shit. Very much like skateboarding. As a nervous player it’s always scary going for a legit AC/DC jam. Those blues bends and double stops. The riffs are quite clean but crunchy. If you’re off it’s obvious.

The ball breaker album was awesome. Flick of the switch is ubderrated imo. Lots of good material in the Brian years just more filler which is to be expected when you been performing for 40-50 years but they still make great music even today their 2020 album was pretty good.

The first five (American) AC/DC records - "High Voltage" thru "Back in Black" - were like Rock Guitar 101 for me. When I started to get serious about learning, and discovered that I could actually figure out how to play those mammoth riffs, I dove in head first with both feet so to speak. They're simple for a beginner to learn, but you'll spend a lifetime trying to master Malcolm Young's incredible sense of timing and touch. I know a lot of the guys featured in this video are just doing their thing the way they do it, but honestly most of them are playing with WAAY too much gain. Malcolm's tone was actually just lightly crunchy, that attack is what makes it sound so hard. It's funny to me that all the critics who HATED them and dismissed them as worthless simpletons early in their career (Rolling Stone, cough cough) now try to act like they've always been on their side. Yeah, you guys were clueless.

"Never Write Anything You Can't Play On A Piano First!" Wise words that Angus and Malcolm took to heart! 🤘🏻

AC DC ... there is nothing simple about them... They just focused on different techniques.. They made masterpieces that almost sound easy to replicate.. but are they?? They are an inspiration for so many artists and bands. It's not about what you see, it's what it makes you feel 🔥

@adrianlee3497 7 месяцев назад

Someone played me Powerage one night and I found out how good AC/DC actually were, I went out and brought a lot of their albums and immediately sat down to learn their tunes. There's more killer AC/DC songs to play, Walk All Over You, Overdose, Girls Got Rhythm to name a few. I bang out basic cowboy chords when playing TNT btw. Just bash the shit out of them.

As good as their singles and mainstream stuff is, ACDC has s9me awesome deep cuts

Highway to Hell was the riff that me buy my first guitar, but Beating Around the Bush was the one made my jaw drop. That tone is VISCIOUS!!! I have never heard a tone like that before or since. I have tried time and time again with different amps and I cannot get it.

Zack playing Mississippi Queen live is one of the greatest live videos I've seen. I highly recommend it.

AC/DC has influenced every guitar player on whatever level of a guitar player they are somehow...it's just a given...when I was young it was AC/DC and KISS...40 years later the riffs are still in my hands...AWSOME!!

@Flynnster70 6 месяцев назад

If ACDC is so "simple and easy ro play" then why didn't you write it? I mean Gone Shootin will for me is the quintessential rock/blues songs of all time, period!

@austinnachbar1725 16 дней назад

"If you want blood, you've got it" intro riff is my favorite.

@theartofhavoc5467 3 месяца назад

There are those riffs that are just pure fun to play. And "Rock And Roll Damnation" is the number one of those.

AC/DC is the only true rock and roll band. I will always stand by that. EDIT: And Malcolm deserves more credit than this video shows 😀

@theobaldINsorrow 6 месяцев назад

Malcolm was literally mentioned by name a few times :)

@swervature 6 месяцев назад

@theobaldINsorrow -- In my defense, I watched it while on the phone with the sound off, lol. I was just going by what I saw on the screen. I'm going to watch it with sound this time. Even if he was mentioned 20x it wouldn't be enough 🤘 Too many people think Angus when they should be thinking Malcolm 😎

@thefeldgeister2961 6 месяцев назад

Powerage was their best album. It's just one smoking track after another during the height of the disco craze, no less. They always knew exactly who they were.

@shannonshepherd1565 4 месяца назад

Maybe the most underrated rock album of all time

Brian Baker saves the day!! Hell’s Bells is the finest.

Sometimes I feel like I own Angus and Malcolm money, cause they were my best guitar teachers and their music was a game changing for my musical mind

A lot of people say AC/DC riffs are easy. On paper yes, but getting the right sound, tone, and feel of the riffs is what’s hard. Angus and Malcolm have a distinct sound and tone.

@georgemaranville3305 7 месяцев назад

@Allisonloosemore It Aus and AC/DC are an Australian rock band formed in 1973. They were founded by brothers Malcolm Young (rhythm guitar) and Angus Young (lead guitar). Their current line-up comprises Angus, bassist Cliff Williams, drummer Phil Rudd, lead vocalist Brian Johnson and rhythm guitarist Stevie Young (nephew). Their music has been variously described as hard rock, blues rock and heavy metal, but the band calls it simply "rock and roll". They are cited as a former influence on the new wave of British heavy metal bands, such as Iron Maiden and Saxon. AC/DC were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003. Sorry mate. Take your time with it. It will pass soon 🙏🏻
