About this lesson

▶ https://www.andyguitar.co.uk/ ◀ ALL Andy's exclusive videos & courses This lesson shows you how to play 'It's A Long Way To The Top' by AC/DC. The chorus to this is simple enough, but there's a real trick to get the Malcolm Young ac/dc rhythm sound. I did my first EVER YouTube video about how to platy like Malcolm as I'm a huge fan. The trick is, Malcolm fills in any gaps (silence) in the guitar playing with 8th strums that are heavily palm muted to the point of it just being string noise. This gives the guitar a greater sense of rhythm, particularity effective when the part is played alone (i.e. without loud drums) A great string to your bow for all budding rhythm guitarists no matter what style you play! ************************************************************************** ▶ https://www.andyguitar.co.uk/ ◀ ALL Andy's exclusive videos & courses 🎬 SUBSCRIBE TO ANDY GUITAR on YouTube http://goo.gl/nDtSmJ 🙏 Help support Andy's free videos by donating https://www.paypal.com/biz/fund?id=J3SP58NUHS55U ************************************************************************** ✅ FREE 10 DAY TRIAL of ALL my online courses (limited time!) ✅ ▶ https://www.andyguitar.co.uk/shop/subscribe/access-all-areas (risk-free for 60 days, and your first 10 days cost nothing)
