ACDC: You Shook Me All Night Long

Free guitar lesson

Back to course index

Songs don't get much better than this! Massive open chord riffs, amazing vocals and a fantastic guitar solo or two! Ollie takes you through how to play every part of this track, from the intro arpeggios to the epic lead guitar solo. Enjoy!

Scales: G minor & G major

For this solo, Angus Young beautifully combines the G minor pentatonic scale with the G major. He is doing this all over the neck, so we highly recommend learning how to play the 5 shapes of each scale (as shown below). This concept is used in blues, rock and rock& roll (plus many more genres), so is definitely worth learning and understanding!

G Minor Pentatonic

G Major Pentatonic

Chord Shapes: Open powerchords

During this track, we are rooted around the open position, using a tonne of chord shapes, and all open chords. These chords are all written out below. Follow along with the video to see exactly where to put these lovely sounded chords!

All done?
