Highway To Hell Guitar Lesson | AC/DC

[@Artattaxe]

Excellent teacher. No flash or attitude just clear concise instruction. Quality!!

[@richardchambers3533]

I saw them in 1979 on Highway to Hell Tour. I was lucky. The ticket said Ted Nugent and special guest. Turned out the special guest was AC⚡DC. They blew the roof off of that place!🎸🎸🎸🎶🎵🎼

[@jimmynich4791]

No one breaks it down and makes the song lessons as simple and straight forward as Justin.

[@orfeaskouros882]

The tone of that setup is incredible.

[@MrPotatofarm101]

such an awesome teacher. thanks for all these lessons!

[@Pantherking916]

Gives a whole new appreciation of the technicality of the song. Fans hear the whole song but a lead guitarist hears and plays something different as does a bassist as does a drummer. Thank for the this enlightenment.

[@chrissixt8]

This is the first song for me to learn, hit a wall doing the beginners course and started going backwards, but this has kicked the enthusiasm into overdrive, thanks this is great

[@danielxh558]

chrissixt8 Exact same here man !

[@myguitarsuxass]

chrissixt8 this is always my fall back Riff when I’m struggling with a new song .... my poor wife. 😂😂

[@thetruthhurts6652]

Exactly. I think guitar teachers should throw students a bone right off the bat and then get into the courses. My first guitar lesson I asked my teacher to teach me Smoke on the Water. He laughed and 6 weeks in I was still learning Shoe Fly. I quit after that.

[@BIGeSTRING]

Justin is by far the best online guitar teacher. Clear explanation and the camera shows very close up on which frets you should place the fingers. Keep up doing the good work Justin.

[@thomasrollinssr]

I've seen AC/DC lots of times, with Brian Johnson, lead Singer. But right after Bon Scott passed. They Did a Tribute to AC/DC in the Fox Theater in Atlanta, I went to. They showed a AC/DC Concert on the Big Screen, and Cranked Up the Volume, It was like seeing AC/DC Old School, It Was GREAT!!

[@dehydratedrhombus2473]

Best guitar teacher on the internet. In fact, he makes up the entire Top Ten by himself

[@kaushikrao2322]

Cried tears of joy when all those one minute changes finally came to play!

[@MrKeri1997]

Ever since I heard of AC/DC it was my biggest wish to see theme at least once on a concert, and in may I got the chance and it was the best thing in my life yet. Hope you got to see theme since you posted this. It is really worth every last penny.

[@chrishollinrake3171]

A truly excellent lesson, love the fact you gave as much emphasis to the feel as the notes which is of course a key thing for this band. 10/10 would recommend to a friend, subbed!

[@imannonymous7707]

Cant think of anyone better than a fellow aussie like justin to teach us their material

[@dougsmith8430]

Justin… Tou are an awesome Teacher! You really take the time to teach the nuances… that is what separates you and makes you stand out from many other great teachers here on line! Classic Song… Tremendous teacher… YOU ROCK JUST JUSTIN! 🎸🎶

[@hazardboundband383]

Justin I have been fortunate enough to see AC/DC twice in my 45 year life. The first show was in 1974 (I was 5 years old) and was, of course, the '74 Jailbreak tour. The second was their Thunderstruck tour (at the now demolished Market Square Arena in Indianapolis, Indiana). I was totally mesmerized by Angus Youngs' talent and his outgrown school uniform. He was definately the main focus of each show with his stage antics and ability to absolutely shred on the guitar while climbing bass bins and stomping across stage. I always had great seats and backstage passes (due to being related to people everyone wanted on their guest list). I will try to dig out the old photo albums and send you some pictures (ones suitable for enlarging and framing). Nobody, in my opinion, should not have some sort of AC/DC concert memorabilia! I will get back to you when I find the correct album....OH, the fingernail thing, we discussed about 2 weeks ago, works great....who would have thought...lol In music, Randy G.

[@St.Maurice]

Thank you for zooming in on the frets!!!!!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@NachoManRandySandwich]

Received my Vox VT40X amp Thursday, my sg g-400 pro arrived Friday. Been practising this and Thunder Struck every spare moment. Got to say I'm loving both the guitar and amp. I haven't quite figured out all the VT40X settings yet but by accident I stumbled upon a near identical sound to Angus's Highway to Hell style. Really happy with this combo.

[@2011littlejohn1]

When I'm learning something new to me, although being very experienced, I come to your site for speed and you invariably have what I want mapped out. But god knows what the neighbours think of a 75 year old bashing out this stuff. Thanks a lot.

[@kentranney5433]

Thanks Justin, I've been tapping into your lessons for a while now. Perfect for my level and loads of fun to play. Thanks for all the work you do on your website, the KZbin videos and keeping everything so affordable. Much appreciated! Keep up the excellent work.

[@silkhead44]

saw the highway to hell tour when I was a teenager...awesome class

[@tkalvis808]

Justin, I have been watching your lessons for a few years now and I must say, YOU ARE THE MAN!! Heck I feel like I know ya, from South Alabama BABY, USA. Thank you so much for sharing, you even talk like Angus to an extent, ROCK ON!! And I was fortunate to see them perform Live ONE Time, on the Fly on the Wall Tour, AWESOME!!

[@daynaholgate4839]

I’m going to practice this on Wednesday when my electric guitar arrives

[@VisboerAnton]

Any updates? :)

[@nukelernicky7793]

Visboer Anton it hasn’t arrived yet

[@crazyayhan7533]

Has it arrived?

[@HowToGames1]

legend says the guitar has still not arrived

[@SingPsalms]

@@HowToGames1 LOL even to this very day...

[@bigboomer5924]

Dear Justin, for the bridge I have found some different versions in songbooks, videos and guitar Pro. In simple notation I play the bridge like this. D5,D5,D5,G5,G5,D5 D5,D5,D5,G5,G5,D5 A5,G5,G5,D5,D5

[@bendoseremix-offical8853]

This video has quite literally made me a rockstar, big shout out to you

[@josesbox9555]

I never got to see AC/DC either. RIP Malcolm.

[@GurkoKurdo]

More led zep please

[@autocrow]

On the power D with the F# in the bass, I just used my thumb and it works well. True about life's lessons.

[@johnskyrim]

Wow, what a gorgeous guitar!

[@nknofficialclan7503]

Got a guitar and been playing for 20 minutes and I have the start down... wow thanks! ( never played before)

[@waynethompson635]

this guy is the best teacher on u tube

[@isaachemson3065]

I wish I could see the strumming for the solo..

[@Dreamer23245]

You're a class A teacher Justin. Props to the ops. Really man. So well explained, with no needless information while maintaining the clarity of the lesson! Keep up the good work that you are doing!

[@larryholder4905]

Thanks for all your help Haven't mastered it yet Sorry you didn't get to see the Band live Got to see AC-DC live three times It was awesome

[@dr.leonardo9789]

Great lesson thank you Justin.

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Glad you liked it!

[@ryancoveyduc9160]

Great job Justin. I've gotten used to doing thumb over for that F# base. I find it a little less awkward.

[@PeteWizzle]

Me, too. It's much easier.

[@jude999]

Awesome. Greatest opening lick in history of rock. I am going over to my friends house to play his vintage Les Paul axe tonight, so this is greatly appreciated!

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Thanks - enjoy cool rocking, maybe on your own Gibson one day. Cheers | Richard_close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide www.justinguitar.com/

[@doctortommy]

Justin has the best lessons I've seen on guitar.

[@thebk1111]

Big thanks 😁Justin good teacher 🤙 Bruno France 🙏

[@gitarero8684]

hanks Justin, I've been tapping into your lessons for a while now. Perfect for my level and loads of fun to play. Thanks for all the work you do on your website, the KZbin videos and keeping everything so affordable. Much appreciated! Keep up the excellent work. ciao weri

[@scottfowler7596]

I know what you mean about never seeing them. I put it off and put it off,,I FINALLY got to go see them on the next to last show before Brian went down. AMAZINIG

[@sleepyninjarin7971]

best first song to learn

[@trapar1374]

Love this man, literally has made all the difference in the world in my playing. Thank you Justin.

[@SuperBigbill2]

Justin hi, thanks so much, for showing me how to play this classic ac/dc track. i was going to ask, would you please be so kind, to show us the instrumental break, that gets played about half way through the song. Thanks Bill.

[@willkirkpatrick106]

Nice video dude. I really thought it was perfect, and i liked how you worked out the solo to sound like it actually does. Nice job

[@PeteWizzle]

I wrap my thumb over, for the D over F#. It works well and is easier to do.

[@amibami]

Thanks for this lesson , and for the solo at 11:02 😁

[@garymanning8920]

Looks like your guitar collection is growing...great new format...all my favorites brother Justine.

[@boxerbomber505]

Perfect, i can exclude my pinky. I have decent coordination with the rest of my fingers but my pinky seems to have a mind of its own.

[@SheepDog1513]

Just wanted to say that I enjoyed this lesson. I'll check out more of your lessons when I get this one down through the solo. I'm fairly new to playing but this helped tremendously.

[@Askurloki]

Thanks

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Many thanks for the super thanks and supporting the channel. It means a lot. Cheers 😊 | Richard_close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide & Approved Teacher www.justinguitar.com

[@ilonalucic880]

Danke Justin!!! Super.

[@TheNewenglandboys]

Holy crap! I’m just seeing this 9 years later!

[@MsChocolate226]

I love how he has the Malcom Young guitar

[@olechristianhaaland2452]

this is the first solo im going to learn :)

[@Dropovski]

Caught them on their Black Ice Tour at the Sydney Olympic Stadium, what a great show.

[@rockdoms]

hi Justin. great teaching and explaning on whats going on. your video close ups are great. your motivation to share your love of music to others is fantastic. keep teaching.

[@aaronpaterson1615]

Great lesson Justin, regards regrets, tell me about it? When I was 15 years old in 1979, my dad wouldn't buy me a ticket to see Bob Marley and the Wailers perform at Festival Hall, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. my best mate went and saw the concert with his older sister and brothers. I had to wait till we were back at school Monday morning for him to tell me how it went. He said there were several policemen guarding in front of the stage standing stockstill with their arms crossed. There was so much Ganja smoke drifting around Festival Hall that the coppers started breathing it in and after awhile they started to move side to side to the music with grins on their faces. Bob on stage pulled out a Spliff hidden inside his dreadlocks and lit it to the delight of the crowd. Talk about crowd interaction!!!! Thats my regret, i didn't save up for a ticket.

[@spook1960]

seen ac/dc twice in 1991 razors edge tour and in 2009 black ice tour,def my fave live band..hopefully they will tour again and you will see them,i hope to see them one more time before they pack in..good on ya mate..btw been listening to you on radio 2 here in the uk,get more people playing the world will be a better place

[@TheAardvaak]

Hi Justin re 3:55 you are right, Angus has played it that way. He gave an interview with guitarist magazine 25+ yrs ago and there are step by step pictures (no internet then) and that is exactly how he played it.i still have the magazine now. That's for a great channel......

[@jameswhiffin5312]

thanks for the tutor. im advanced player and looked stupid tonight because i couldnt get the timing. . should be simple. cheeers mate for the timing

[@stanleythestaffie9774]

Thanks Justin... I like what you do....!

[@danielduncan1571]

Really enjoyed that lesson, been wanting to tighten up on the rhythm and learn the chorus. Thanks

[@Rajesh_Dushmantha]

A great lesson from you Justin as usual!!! Thanks mate!!

[@frankcc4399]

awesome teacher

[@rodriguez63]

good job man...had to learn it quick for a gig...perfekt lesson...sounds exactly like the orinigal...only thing I changed is I use the thumb on that F# over the D...makes it a bit more confortable for me...thanks

[@tristanwardmusic7996]

Very good guitar teacher nice bit at the end about not seeing ACDC live wise words!

[@gettofatale1206]

well done, much more easier than comparable online-lessons!

[@stevehogan8829]

Justin, Thanks. Great lesson. Great job of breaking it down. and great job with the camera. Thanks.

[@dingoswamphead]

Great solo analysis, thanks Justin.

[@snakeoil115]

Super job.

[@scottneilson3292]

You are an excellent teacher sir. Keep up the great work and the videos!

[@davidknoll5544]

Been trying to get right for years. I can play just about every acdc tune there is but always had a hard time with this one. Thx for the lesson. Bon Scott RIP bro. You are sorely missed😈

[@9wegorz]

Absolutely brilliant lesson. Quality content!

[@cosmonaut1961]

Justin rulezzzz! thank you man! i like you and your lessons!

[@Temenos1337]

When you are pretty clear even for a foreigner, you know you are really good at explaining shits to people! Ty for the lesson sir.

[@stacywebster8879]

Another fun lesson Justin! My 1st concert ever was AC/DC in 1981. Saw them thrice. I wish you had been able to catch them too!

[@fatbaldandover40]

+Stacy Webster hahaaaa would that be 'For those about to rock' tour. Been there too, got the t-shirt etc. Wasn't Newcastle City Hall was it? lol Me and my mate did all three nights

[@daniel213141]

+Stacy Webster AC/DC opened for Aerosmith on their Express Tour, 1978 in Vancouver, Canada. I was there to see Aerosmith, I'd never heard of AC/DC until then. The opening act was the better band that night, there was only one Bon Scott, never really liked Brian Johnson.

[@eddt430]

I'm here because of the coronavirus lock down. Thanks for keeping me busy Justin. 👍

[@jonathanpeolsson3123]

NICE! Angus Young does a special thing on the outro... Could you maybe do a video where you show how to play the full outro as well ´cos that whould be awsome?

[@bobgreenhouse4801]

Justin u rock dude any advice on bending of the strings it doesn't sound right

[@titmusspaultpaul5]

The way you showed that Angus played that hybrid chord was correct the second way you played it (the original way you thought he did). I saw some clips of him playing it that way many years ago so your initial thought was correct. He has probably changed the way he plays it over the years but I'm 100% certain that's the way he use to play it.

[@MrB-bl3bf]

Cheers dude 😎

[@baxsoft2002]

Well done…brilliant lesson.

[@opherkRock]

As always, another excellent lesson, Justin (: ... And now you also perfectly simulate Angus Young's head banging Tnx

[@lucaprovinciali2493]

Justin,thanks,really great work:just like many others i'm a novice(i mean not an absolute beginner at all,l but close to that).I find your accuracy(especially when it comes to talk about exact timing which is most important in AC/DC or always,better to say))has no comparision;so when i've done my homework i come to see your lesson to check iif i went wrong somewhere.Thanks again and keep in touch!!!

[@victormellows7486]

One of my favorite bands for sure Justin...I know what you mean about Malcom...it happened to me with Van Halen...missed a show 3 times...always said I'd get the next one...didn't happen...jobs are a dime a dozen...life is short... gotta go now or miss out ...thank you for the lesson...would like to see you do Live Wire by AC/DC...can't seem to get a handle on it for some reason...

[@mikejacobson9373]

Love the Gretsch Justin

[@RPSJR100]

Thank u sir not everybody can teach guitar, i think u can and i watch alot of your videos Richard from Pittsburgh Pa.

[@philg6757]

I called for the cold spoon when I saw this,thanks mate.

[@artlupinacci6759]

Love this thanks. Would be really helpful if the tuning and amp settings were also offered at the beginning.

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Justin tends not to do that in the video as everybody has different guitars / amps / pedals etc. Cheers 😊 | close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide & Moderator on JustinGuitar Forum [ www.justinguitar.com/ ]

[@windowsgeek2256]

Hi Justin, I also have the Fender Super Champ amp you are using. Could you tell me what voice you use for your ACDC tutorials please?
