How To Get The Malcolm Young Sound?

[@SRguitar]

Can you name all the AC/DC Riffs I played in this video? 😁

[@josemena9699]

Dirty deeds done dirt cheap T.N.T. Gone Shootin' Thunderstruck Jailbreak Problem Child Sink the pink Riff Raff Whole Lotta Rosie The Jack Bad Boy Boogie

[@jeffreyeagen4896]

Malcolm is my hero! Gone Shooting is probably one of my favorite riffs ever!

[@SRguitar]

For me one of my favorites too! Love that song

Malcolm riffmaster king of rhythm god of rock’n’roll

[@VanessaBlank.]

Sag mal, ich hab ne Frage, vielleicht hast du ja die Antwort. Ich hab den J.Rocket auch, ein geiles Teil! AAABER, hast du das Ding auch mal mit Blockbatterie genutzt? Am Stecker läuft alles bestens, will ich die 9V einlegen ( 4 Mini Schrauben runter und anstecken ) geht leider nichts. Batterien sind aber neu und einwandfrei. Defekt? Läuft es denn bei dir? LG, Vanessa🤘

[@Particle67]

You nailed it. So close. Well done

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Yeah!!! Malcolm tones are rocking here

[@SRguitar]

Thanks for watching the video Andy!😊

[@blackinblue11]

cca year 2000 I drove to near town to get Live double cd..driving home, Jailbreak comes..I enjoy Angus's intro, admire, taking it in..and then out of nowhere Mal comes in with his chords..I mean, I have the same feeling now writing about it, like I had the first time..I was melting, I tought my spine will crack in half because of that SOUND and tightness. What a legend Thanks to Mal, I used less and less gain over time, and only then I kind of connected with my instrument. Very nice video, my friend.. cheers! And cheers Mal, wherever you are.. For those about to ROCK!!!

[@TeddScheckler]

Love your breakdown videos

[@SRguitar]

Thanks man! :)

[@ROKRmarc]

Excellent overview of Malcolm's genius guitar playin'...Thank you. 🎸😎👏

[@ROKRmarc]

Excellent overview of Malcolm's style and tone. Thank you. 🤘💯🎸

[@gfgoblue3330]

Very well done sir...Malcolm Young is the best rhythm guitar player off all time. If you you have ever seen AD/DC perform High Voltage live, it's Malcom's mastery at his best!

[@VanessaBlank.]

Schade das du nur so wenig Abonnenten hast., Du hättest mehr verdient! Ich spiele einige Gibson SG´s und einige Gretsch Guitars. Ich liebe jede, ich lebe für den Rythm von Malcolm! Danke!

[@SRguitar]

Vielen Dank Vanessa!😊 - Natürlich hoffe ich, dass es bald mehr Abonnenten werden :) Malcolm war wirklich einer der Besten!

[@VanessaBlank.]

@@SRguitar Malcolm war das Herz der Band. Nur nicht alle haben das gesehen. Die Musik und sein Rythm wird ewig weiter leben! Alles Gute, ein Fan, Vanessa

[@disenchanteddad7759]

Nailed that tone! This is the video that made me decide to order one of these pedals. Thanks!

[@SRguitar]

Happy to know that!

[@linuswang6572]

I heard that Malcolm didn't use any distortion pedals; just turned the amp up loud enough to distort. Is that correct?

[@disenchanteddad7759]

@@linuswang6572 Yes, to get his sound, it was mostly just the Gretsch into his Marshall cranked. BUT, with today's technology and research, we're able to get these sounds in pedal form, and even in "preset" form in a lot of DAW plugins. So while you'd ideally use Mal's setup to get "that sound", you might not have the space, or financial means, to buy up a wall of 100-watt Marshall Plexis and basketweave cabs to get the sound organically, in which case a good IR loader/cab-sim and a pedal like this will give you a nearly indiscernible tone.

[@DosLobos]

That's pretty good. Well done

[@iamevamarinas]

Sascha! I've loved all the playings of this video!!! Really nice to watch/listen to!!! Awesome work !!! And absolutely great tone 🙌🏻😊👌🏻

[@iansmith8520]

Great video! Thanks for putting it up. I use a Gretsch 5232 through an MG100HDFX. The sound is pretty good but yours is closer. 🤘🏼😁

[@Supernautiloid]

Malcom is a God. His influence on my playing is enormous.

[@daniel93freestyle]

Very nice! :) what kind of mic of the IR did you use?

[@daejumong4386]

Thanks for this video, very nice. Is it also possible to achieve Malcolm's sound using a single coil guitar like telecaster? If yes, what pedal and amp set-up will you recommend? I don't have enough budget for a 2nd electric guitar, so hopefully I can use my tele to capture his sound. Thanks.

[@Chrisdava]

Very good video. Your examples are a pleasure to watch & hear. All guitarists should spend a little time playing rhythm guitar like Malcolm.

[@SRguitar]

Thanks a lot! Yeah definitely 👍🏻

[@rockerneck]

I made a Malcolm guitar out of an ibanez semi hollow with a single gretsch pickup, a volume knob, and wrapped the heavy strings around the tailpiece. It’s pretty close through a 50 watt jcm800 and I can beat on it all night

[@By-Guitars-Music-Fun]

Nice thx for sharing. ... Can you do a tutorial from Malcolm Young's Silver Shoes & Strawberry Wine... Please ....

[@t-bonesnakepit1202]

intro ist cool zusammengestellt.

[@aaronlowe1082]

Riff Raff is one of the best rock and roll riffs EVER!

[@geoffreyhatchman7915]

Hi Sascha, great video , thanks for sharing and nice tone and playing , I have ordered that pedal . Can you give me an idea what your amps actual setting were for the video please. Master vol , pre amp, mid , trebble, bass, presence , i am using a Gretsch G6131-MY malcolm young signature guitar and a Marshall JCM 800 LEAD SERIES STUDIO Sc20c 20 watt combo Thanks Geoff

[@SRguitar]

Hey Geoff, Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video! The 45 Caliber is a great pedal. I cant't really remember the exact settings, but you can check out my latest video about the Origin20H. There I show my most common settings. The JCM 800 should have a different sound than my amp. I would set it up as clean as possible and the rest does the 45 Caliber :)

[@cnetolooping]

Where isso The link of IR that you used?

[@zachariahwade8482]

Plug straight into a classic Marshall(1959/2203/Superbass) and turn it up no more than half way. Gretsch helps

[@braydengarrett4164]

Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be was a good song and Malcolm's rythum playing is the best

[@linuswang6572]

I heard that Malcolm didn't use any distortion pedals; just turned the amp up loud enough to distort. Is that correct?

[@pwframers4]

Yes, mal didn’t use any pedals.

[@victoracosta3369]

Niceeee Video I love my AC/DC

[@RockinParrot]

You should have used Shaffer-Vega Replica. This is the key to Angus and Malcolm sound :)

[@SRguitar]

Angus Yes, but Malcolm rarely used wireless. At least back in the day :)

[@howdythere2419]

Im surprised you knew how to play Sink the Pink. I love the whole Fly on the Wall album despite what some may say.

[@jeremybradley559]

And Blow up your video. Heat sealer and , that’s the way I want my rock and roll are another couple awesome ones.

[@cnetolooping]

Very cool

[@magnushartelius8021]

Malcolm Y used a lot of s.c cowboy chords, chords with open strings. To make this sound good I reckon its important to have a guitar with a zero fret so you get an even sound from all the strings. Unfortunately not many manufacturer do this. And thats a mystery because with e zero fret you'll get the lowest possible string action and best possible intonation.

[@SRguitar]

That’s totally right! His signature guitar also has a zero fret.

[@vedranradonja8510]

Heavy strumming, low action, that should cause the string buzz, but on overdrive we dont hear that? Are you agree with that? Thanks

[@HTech123]

Very convincing. But you'll play different through a 100.000W PA system! That's also part of that sound!

[@giorgiomaccarone246]

Lovely medley. All the riffs you played were as follows: AC/DC Rhythm Guitar song Nice work!

[@SRguitar]

Haha that's a great name for that medley 😁. Thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed the video!

[@grdcircus5145]

Lo que hay que tener son los dedos de Malcom😂

[@Patriot1777]

Not going to spend $300.00 on a peddle effects, cheaper to change bridge pickup TV Jones classic plus pickups.

[@jeremybradley559]

Mal never used a single pedal that I know of.

[@jeremybradley559]

Ya got a marshal there. No need for the pedal and impulse response. It’s not that hard.

[@carlosmartinezlamas7830]

No one like you Malcom.For me beating around the bush and riff raff

[@jeremybradley559]

Not bad riffing though

[@corporalcornealiaspheffer8296]

If you have a Marshall you don’t need a pedal. How ridiculous

[@tributo.brian_JonhsonArg]

But malcolm and angus never and do not use pedals or effects, they their sound is caused by the Marshall!!

[@SRguitar]

That's true! But there are multiple ways how you can archive a certain sound. Also if you play at home you probably don't want to crank a Marshall with a 4x12 cab ;)

[@kennyh5083]

That ain't it! It lacks the balls and punch of Malcomes sound, maybe add a pedal too?

[@harryballsonya4347]

a $300 pedal?
