Back In Black Guitar Lesson | AC/DC

[@rhythmPhil]

I like how Justin is always teaching the proper timing. That's something lacking in most of other lessons.

[@armcannon3160]

I completely agree, the timing is key and this is a frequently misplayed riff in particular. I've seen at least half a dozen people play the E minor pentatonic lick a 16th note too early.

[@stephentanner9767]

rhythmPhil considering he’s playing this out of time

[@KidsWithGuns1992]

Damn that's a beautiful guitar.

[@housecatblues7946]

I really enjoy your instructional lessons that challenges us to listen and figure parts out ourselves. Your strumming count-outs have really helped me a lot to get the ACDC chord timing.

[@belindaking1174]

WOW you are amazing. We are just learning how to play the electric guitar. It's so easy watching you. My 10 year old and I are going to rock on!!!

[@bobwalters2949]

Bob Walters And?

[@yoyog.2933]

Fantastic ! You are the best teacher online, for sure ! But now we want the SOLO ! Please Justin !

[@David-rg4vh]

Already have the first of this down. Needed a boost with the rest of it. Glad to see you have it here Justin. Thought I'd learn the rest in light of today's news. Nov. 18 2017. R.I.P. Malcom Young. You and Bon have fun.

[@TheViplounger]

You are bloody awesome thank you for not talking crap. Just gets into it. Love it.

[@beverlin66]

ACDC is still at the Top Thank you Justin for this new one lesson.

[@someoneelse6934]

That "simple" E minor pentatonic lick had me frustrated as heck until you explained the timing. I've watched many tutorials on this song but you are the first to truly get through to my thick skull on it. Thank you.

[@andyharpist2938]

the bend took me a day or two. Its 1,2,1 2bend not 1,2 1,2 bend

[@Heathbarbcrunch2]

you are my hero! No one else teaches guitar better!!

[@WebcastDemo]

This was an excellent lesson, timing has always been a challenge for me, this helped a lot. One important point that wasn't mentioned enough is to use your thumb on the neck hand to mute the lower "E" string during many of the chords. It was mentioned early on in the lesson, but I found it crucial to achieve the proper sound throughout the song. Good teacher, and explained every step nice and slow. I learned more from this lesson than many others, great job!

[@olivergpunkt2991]

Thx :D Everyone can follow your videos without problems! just go on like this

[@kevinklaric5903]

Thanks a lot Justin. It is really useful for me to learn here about the rhythm of the song as I could not find it in any of the other videos. This rhythm practice is one of my favorites parts to develop cause it is not easy and plays tricks in my mind :) Cheers Kevin

[@qbertrtrtg]

This is the best lesson because Justin teaches the exact timing. Timing is extremely important to get the E minor pentatonic lick to sound right

[@dylanmalone8166]

The best in the biz strikes again

[@iamswitters]

More like this!!! Great lesson and loving that you're putting up more hard rock vids lately.

[@rubencriviDT]

And like always the best accurate and straight lesson!! Thanks a lot Justin!

[@eyalinbar798]

It's the little details that make this riff, and your interpretation is dead on IMHO. Very very nice!

[@dr.sachinshinde6472]

Justin Sir you are Genius.. How simply you teach difficult things.. Thank you

[@davyjones1889]

Great lesson Justin. Having a lot of fun playing this one!

[@howiemoth3847]

Thanks Justin. Bucket listed my 1st guitar (DBZ Imperial) at age 53 last week and found your website/vids. 1st nt. of ownership. As an absolute beginner I could not have been luckier. I spend 30 mins. on website lessons and the rest on your youtube vids. Sore fingers every night but well worth it, wanted to learn all my life, thanks for helping fulfill my dream. AC/DC favorite band since 70's. Thanks again, you are doing a great thing.

[@jperryfan]

Love the sliding into the notes, always thought it was a stretch which is very difficult on the fingers. Thanks for the info great lesson!

[@VEHICROS]

+jperryfan the 2 -7th fret stretch is not bad at all, Keep in mind you are only fingering the 5th or 7th for a moment and not a full note or anything like that, plus your 1st finger does not have to remain on the 2nd fret.

[@Bensidhe]

I have NEVER heard a Gretsch sound that good ! One of my fave AC/DC songs . Thanks for covering this one Justin =)

[@paullebon323]

Bensidhe So, you're suggesting that Malcolm's Gretsch doesn't sound this good?

[@Bensidhe]

***** Nice try Mr.Sterret, nice try ;)

[@VEHICROS]

+Bensidhe I have never heard a Gretch sound good.

[@Bensidhe]

+VEHICROS I have heard a lot of Gretsch guitars sound really good, but then I guess that depends on the genre you like VEHICROS . To each their own, as every make has a sound someone out there likes. Guess thats the beauty of being human. Choices , who woulda thunk ;)

[@VEHICROS]

+Bensidhe Hey, I was Joking, although still serious about them being the Ugliest guitars I have ever seen

[@richardsrensen4219]

wow Justin i think i have to order you The Justinguitar Rock Songbook! you are a present for guitarplayers like me ! Merry Christmas Justin

[@f2f.photography]

This is really great. Thank you Justin. Merry Christmas.

[@dave1986R]

Great lesson, you make it very easy to understanding. The main riff is simpler than it sounded the first time I heard it.

[@antoinebailleul3165]

yo

[@imannonymous7707]

Thanks so much. For the count. its the hardest part the whole riff hangs on it. and U are the only one to shed light of it. it helped me. thank you

[@scottrobinson8197]

Very complicated the bridge .doing my best.thank justin

[@TristanKillinger]

Thanks a bunch! Your videos are always a great help. You're style of teaching works for me every time (: Thank you for the time you put into these videos and helping others like myself.

[@jimmycricketlopez2746]

He does free videos to promote his paid for courses

[@stratmad]

Fantastic lesson. Thank you!!

[@flashtuinmanman]

Fantastic Justin! Hard to believe that I (as a spotty and hairy 16 year old) saw them on this tour, the first after Bon died, almost 35 years ago! Tickets were (as I recall) £3.50 and T-shirts a tenner, those were the days :-).

[@iamswitters]

Did we ever get the solo to this? I can't find it on your site. Anyway, love this lesson. Having so much fun learning this!

[@silviavergnano6681]

I'm nine years old and I'm doing it... YOU'RE AMAZING!!

[@coachfb18]

Best guitar teacher on the net and I've seen more than a bunch. Nobody pays more attention to detail than Justin. Oh, and he is a pretty damn guitar player himself.

[@bombakdik]

Hey Justin. Very long time ago I learned daytripper from the Beatles on your channel. Clear and straight as always, I will be tackling this one from now on. Many thanks for your lovely enthusiasm and attitude. Cheers from Belgium!

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Thanks so much. Come back sooner. There's over 600 song lessons here www.justinguitar.com/songs Cheers 😊 | close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide & Moderator on JustinGuitar Forum

[@bluesinmahblood]

Hey Justin fantastic lesson as always!! Was just checking out your other acdc lessons when this baby popped up!! Keep these lessons coming!!! Greetings from Nepal!!

[@steinderbush]

Hi, your guitar has a great sound!!! Thanks for the lessons!!

[@jamie_p0758]

Can’t believe I’m back here this was the first song and video I learned now I’ve auditioned for the school of rock and have been playing for 4 years now

[@louiesalinas4720]

GREAT! THANKS BRO LIKE THE COUNTING

[@nicholaswoolfenden5254]

I find this guy the most accurate. Very good.

[@jf5578]

brilliant lesson!

[@АлексейГладышев-ф1и]

Джастин!! спасибо за точный профессиональный разбор!!

[@DoonerA]

Superb lesson Justin!

[@noamhai2333]

Excellent video, excellent teacher.

[@Danhoppy94]

That sounds awesome!!!

[@ChannelM7]

Nice Lesson, this was very easy for me to learn, Thank You

[@Ignamolle]

You were really enjoying playing this haha Hope you upload the solo soon, there are some things that still sound weird to me when I play, even with other tabs and lessons.

[@MarkPaulBurrows]

Outstanding lesson as always... Thanks Justin and Merry Xmas.

[@rippertrain]

what a beautiful guitar

[@ethanpelagalli]

Yet another great lesson

[@thomashewitt7452]

Hey Justin. Thanks for the lesson. Did you ever get round to the solo in the end?

[@MrVidsAllDay]

Whoa, cool guitar.

[@ElissaStark514]

Wow! I'm my humble, you're the best guitar teacher on KZbin:)

[@tonytrotter2708]

Great lesson thank you Justin. Out of curiosity how were you getting that lovely tone (which amp and settings etc) please?

[@piercemychemicalbrides708]

Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank yooooooou

[@bengunns9500]

Back in Black the Album that inspired me to learn to play.

[@elvis_chen]

Epic! Thanks for sharing.

[@cavemancrewbmx7050]

hey justin great tutorial really helped one of the few tutorials that had more than the intro riff ps I found your book in my local music shop it looked great but I had no money

[@tripl3x3]

Thanks for the tutorial. Did you ever do the solo? I can’t find it.

[@BM5556]

I just can´t seem to play the bridge the same way u play it Justin, not talking about the notes but about the hand, I can´t explain myself with words well but, i have get my wrist a little bent to do the pull off, after that I can keep it straight and play what follows after the hammer on

[@necrojoe]

I feel like the bridge riff, the one demonstrated at about :51 and then detailed at about 12:52, is missing a couple notes. I don't know of a better way to explain it, but when I hear you play "1234 12 34 56" I feel like it should go "123456 12 34 56". Thoughts? Great video otherwise!!! Very helpful indeed! Also, as a request. please make sure you're tuned. I liked your video best, but to play along, I had to re(un)tune my guitar a bit...a pain on a guitar with a trem. Thank you so much!!

[@robertsrinkis2257]

Literally most undislikeable video I have ever witnessed! Thank you :)

[@Johnny-lr5jt]

Great lesson. The thing I'm wondering: on the main riff, I thought at least one rhythm guitar was playing the A chord with a C sharp root note (A string 4th fret). Maybe it's just the bass guitar playing that note though, I don't know.

[@robbiegadeguitar]

Your guitar is tuned a little higher than A 440 HZ. Your students may have some problems playing along if hey don't realize this. Love the Gretch guitar.

[@funatall20s]

That guitar is talking to me..sooo good

[@spesart]

Hi you're the best can you make more videos about ballads???

[@somewickedmusic]

good guitar lesson, congrats

[@zlippery1]

Salute to Malcolm. So sad about is illness dementia.

[@Urankar3]

Bravo Justin***********

[@benaaronmusic]

He's really a great teacher. Bravo indeed!

[@matteoambrosi3821]

Hey justin great lesson you've rocked! Can you tell me what ampli and pedals did you use in this video please?

[@paullebon323]

Matteo Ambrosi Pedals... LOL

[@Musicmansladiesband]

Great cover! AC/DC ROCKS!! Joey #musicmansladies

[@larsdahl6594]

I think another big youtuber may have ripped your lesson off, plagiarizing your video sometimes down to your exact words. You get the thumbs up!

[@pugdoyle]

Really nice lesson as always. Have noticed your new Gretsch on your last few videos. Have never seen one like it. It's a real beauty. What's the model called. Tried looking on Gretsch web page but didn't see that one there. Love your lessons. Keep up the fine work!!!

[@eirnil1]

its a malcolm young signature gretsch guitar.

[@pugdoyle]

Eirik Høydalsmo Nilsen Thanks for the info Eirik.

[@moonshot1999]

Thanks for the lesson Justin, but is your tuning slightly off normal 440?

[@fitaxs95]

İf i know how to play guitar. İts thanks to this man.

[@padraiglyons3709]

What is the exact model of the guitar you are using Justin, since it doesn't have the two empty pickup spaces which the official Malcolm Young gretsch model has?

[@PMiller3425]

One secret to making the bend in the main riff sound “correct” is to bend down toward the floor and not up toward the sky

[@PragmaticDany]

That doesn't make a difference in the sound

[@PMiller3425]

@@PragmaticDany If you aren't able to hear the difference then you are correct, it won't make a difference.

[@JohnJones22856]

Here’s another secret: start your own video, or STFU!

[@kadencas1]

When you play the simple e minor lick, how do you prevent strings from ringing out? Do you mute with your strumming hand or fretting hand?

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

You do need palm muting in lots of the parts for this. Cheers 😊 | Richard_close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide www.justinguitar.com

[@wombocombo180]

great lesson im excited to show my friends what i have learned from you btw what is the amp settings?

[@goingmilion]

pre and post gain on max. treble boosted.

[@jackbrennock8112]

Nice guitar

[@michaelgreen5206]

Thanks Justin. Like your Gretch guitar, too! Sounds really good and has a nice AC-DC bite to the sound.

[@delianeagu3144]

Great tutorial! But at the beggining when you're playing the 2-4 2-5 2-6 2-7 lick you mentioned that 2nd fret 5th string is the same note as 7th fret 6th string. Can I play 2nd fret 5th string twice instead of jumping to the 7th fret 6th string if it sounds the same? Find it pretty hard to make a leap of death to the 7th fret haha.

[@mvp019]

Cool axe Justin what kind is it?

[@joeymartin5762]

What are the amp settings?

[@hopehaven7249]

Could maybe make a lesson how to play the man who sold the world? Anyways keep up the good work!! Cheers

[@hinnelein1]

Hi mate, What guitar is that? It looks nice :)

[@joeyball3342]

Would love to have that Gretsch. Great lesson Justin, good job....Thanks!

[@thevatrat]

You have far too much Talent Justin

[@hatta1991]

way tooooooo much gain!!!! Play it with a JTM 45 with the High treble on 3 and teh low Treble on 2,5 and listen to that beautifull sound! Malcolm created the "Crunch" with his very hard playing. and he uses 12-56 Strings... And the right Timing... he's a timing mashine !!!

[@westerling8436]

What guitar is that? It's really cool

[@wolfendoom7269]

cool thing about this tone is it sounds like ac dc in their early days

[@ScotDvorak]

Great lesson!! Where do I get that guitar?!?!? Love that!!!!

[@williamb4652]

Try Vintage and Rare Gretsch Malcolm Young

[@jordanthijssen6140]

nice vid but at the start of the last lick there is an open E at the start and then an open A when it moves up one string

[@isaacgarcia878]

teach the song stiff upper lip by AC-DC

[@RdioJ]

make "Let There Be Rock next time", pls.
