This Simple Angus Young Pentatonic Hack! Is Amazing!

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

Wednesdays need a little more Rock n Roll amirite?

Shut up and kiss me

Can you do somthing like that for Slash

[@brownsfan7753]

Yes!

[@RokDAWG1]

I would think that Tuesdays need the rockin and rollin' more.

[@livingabovethe12th]

Malcolm and Angus, the 2 best rock gtr teachers ever. Get the high voltage record, learn to play rythym with Mal in the left speaker, then learn to play lead with Ang in the right speaker. No joke, that's exactly how I learned. Mal's right hand, so tight and groovy and such attack..so percussive. You should do a video on how important it is to be able to lock it down like Mal before one gets flashy.

[@joansnakepit7929]

Malcom was the glue of the band, man was always so tight amazing rhythm!

[@licksnkicks1166]

@@joansnakepit7929 I agree 100%. I just loved him even more when I saw them live! OMG the best show I have ever been to. Their 2015 tour in Canada. Downsview Ontario.

[@marygaleac]

A Cherry SG... Nothing more beautiful on Gods good earth.. And nothing sounds better!!! Thanks Robert.👍

[@PlectrumShorts]

Billy Gibbons does the same thing in the first bar or two of the La Grange solo. Such an awesome sound.

[@barrybebenek8691]

Whether folks like the playing or think it’s too “simple”, Angus and Malcom were my teachers too, from the first (Australian High Voltage) album through to today. They mastered simplicity and created real music. 🇨🇦👍🏼

[@dapawaz8310]

Amen. I've never seen anyone who claims it's simple to be able to replicate it. 🤣

[@TheStarAndTheDespot]

No one plays the blues better than Angus and no one explains it better than you. Thanks!

[@Squishy_Seal]

Angus is my favourite guitarist ! Everybody saying he plays simple haha yeah... it s basic but simple ? Nah. It os so hypnotizing anf impressive wjat he does, it is really great I m so in love with his sound !! Thanks for that lesson ! Great sound, beautiful SG.

[@joshuamirabal822]

Glad to see you kept the SG. It looks and sounds gorgeous!

[@coltenbustos7114]

This is what I needed on lunch break. Bosses screwed stuff up and left it for me to fix. Thanks for making it a little better robert!

[@lfdimb]

Great guitarist with extreme good taste and perfect teaching skills to contemplate all levels of musicians. I'm your fan and I don't miss any of your videos! Greetings from Brazil!

[@stratwrassler]

Best lesson for that bit from the Shook Me solo I've found, thanks.

[@allengoeddey2719]

Working on an AC/DC song last night. Thanks! The finger rolling thing is prevalent in ‘Whole lotta Rosie

[@bw5308]

Was just listening to Whole Lotta Rosie when I got Meister Robert's notification. Of course I'm gonna check it out! Been wanting to delve into more Angus techniques, also Malcolm. One of the most rocking bands ever.

[@wesleyAlan9179]

Right on! I kno what im doing when I get off work, JAMMIN'!

[@lucasbittar]

Awesome tips, Robert! Those subtle details makes a huge difference. Like you said, makes you not play the scale in order anymore, giving it a total new sound and feel. Thanks man! Cheers from Brazil!

[@SCgrad98]

Thank you for doing an Angus licks video! He's my favorite guitarist and main inspiration for playing guitar.

[@ssolo8]

A "tame" distortion makes for a great tone. 😉👍

[@samuelebenini25]

I think you are real true in your video and funny and that cause we enjoy they so much (and for talent of course) thanks from Italy 😊👍

[@dinourbani4068]

Amazing video. Thank you for posting this. Angus is in a class by himself. So much feel and tone and incredible vibrato. Could you produce a video like this about Billy Gibbons? thanks man.

[@tmitz73]

Terrific Video Robert!! Real clear and simple but powerful, just like Angus!!! Stay Well Dude and Keep on Rockin'!!

[@martinlicht1969]

Thanks man. You can roll in opposite direction across strings too for fun creating those neat intervals.

[@arunviswanathan5555]

Great lesson RB! Love the rolling technique! Thanks for all of your videos! You’ve got chops brother!

[@licksnkicks1166]

Thx Robert fir some pretty amazing lessons!

[@Johnsalad]

lOVE the red SG!

[@AndyDion]

The finger roll! Great tip and licks Robert!

[@chandlerbrock6159]

I know this is a late comment, but I’ve been looking for a video that explains the pattern of that first lick for months! This explains very well. Gained a subscriber, well done!

[@JeromyBranch]

You have really nice vibrato Robert. Couldn't agree more about Angus. Every time I have a student I make sure they know - It doesn't need to be DIFFICULT, to be GOOD. It just needs to be played well. Angus is a perfect example, and if you want difficult, well he can supply that need as well!

[@wllmstck]

This is so true. I'm just starting to learn, but when you see Angus's riffs written on tabs you realize he keeps it really simple. Yet still a challenge even for their simplicity.

[@image30p]

This is an overlooked technique. It really adds flavor. I think if a person can use this and throw in some notes from the major pentatonic or maybe a minor sixth here and there. Iommi does this stuff too. It's so tasty! Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@Rustyjamesman]

That 2nd lick sounds so good

[@sugatooth]

Love this!!! Gonna jam out with this later 🤘🏽

[@1981SG]

Great lesson, thanks! Could you do some more lessons like this from Slash and Zakk Wylde too? Thanks!

Thats a beautiful guitar.. I miss having a SG.. Shook me was the first full solo I ever learned how to play back in 1984-ish.. Boy,, Im old...

[@BlueTitan7]

I like you man, like how you talk, your attitude. I love Angus, it is and it isn't his style...it's a legacy. Angus studies Chuck, Chuck studies Rosetta, Rosetta studies the tin can/out of tune instruments blues of the cotton picking slaves. All those people add a bit, Angus puts the rock attitude into the blues thing...to my ears it is the same. I saw Chuck 20 years ago, he was playing loud and distorted ( natural break up) and it sounded like Angus. There you go the bridge was build from both ends! Keep it up! PS: Just named a few, you got the Wolves, Kings, Johnsons, etc famous or not guys in the mix!

[@epiphone278]

Damn Robert, really dig your lessons, they are so much more practical and so much better explained than a lot of the other guys videos out there. Keep it up man, great stuff!

Angus said...it's much easier to play like him if you have an Aussie accent. It's the only way to get the authentic tone!

New sub here from Tim's place. Nice to see that Marshall JMP-1 pre-amp. I played over 10k 1hr shows in a classic rock show band and it carried the load. It also recorded really well. Nice room, my cell is too small. More power to you. I also watched your "I'm not touring" video, give it a thumbs-up, I just couldn't find the right words. Kind Regards, 👍 🙏 Maximum Respect, and Peace ~ LW 👊 😎

[@chriscampbell9191]

Cool. That first 'jumped' pentatonic riff played here, I just heard / learnt from a 1972 ZZ Top audio vid where Billy Gibbons used it -- amongst a gazillion other cool riffs. Gibbons added a note, though, right at the end. But the riff is otherwise the same.

Great vid lesson bro thx! ur great!

[@jaminpartanen9058]

Awesome lesson. I play some of his solos and didn’t even realize that was the technique while I was learning it. How come you don’t do any slash tips and tricks?? Angus and slash two is my MOST favorites

[@markattaway4429]

He does all of those little tricks because he has tiny baby hands! That gives him that unique sound, because he’s having to compensate, such as the rolling stuff you mentioned.

[@bryanmannoia8410]

not at all. he is emulating the blues he grew up listening to. tons of finger roll techniques in the blues.

[@bubblerings]

If you wonder what happened after 11:30 or so.. Well, he has vids on Speed and playing Faster! 😁🍻

[@ozzyfarrow9872]

Robert I know that an epiphone Les Paul compared to Gibson has real maple to veneer maple but what is difference between epiphone and Gibson SG

[@michagrabowski6753]

And what about Malcolm tricks? :D You could use one of that affordable Gretsch Duo Jet guitars (G5222) to show us some rythm tricks :D

[@Terribleguitarist89]

Malcolm's rythym is what made their songs IMHO.

[@seagullpoet]

Angus described his red SG as a devil horned guitar from the land down under !

[@Mephilis78]

Does that SG have the 490 and 498 pickups like a normal standard?

hell yeah!!

Nice tone .. I really don’t like an SG (personally not a fan of the design) but I like that tone.

[@rumbletruck1]

Is that finger roll (B in this lesson) similar to what Page uses on Over the Hill and Far Away?

[@bryanmannoia8410]

yes. a great technique used throughout the blues as well. excellent lesson and great examples. the solo in YSMANL is an excellent example of how to use the whole fretboard with minor pentatonic.

Literally every time I play a solo at least 75% of it is Angus Young licks I have stolen, the other 25% is a combination of Billy Gibbons and Jimmy Page licks I've stolen LOL
