Lesson of the Day: Learn AC/DC’s 'Back in Black'

Everybody loves a good rock and roll song, which is probably the biggest reason why AC/DC's "Back in Black" is the legendary band's most popular anthem. We're sure Angus Young's blistering guitar work had something to do with it as well as "Back in Black" remains a "must learn" on many guitarists' wish list of songs to master, with an infectious hook that rivals just about any other in rock and roll.

 

The album Back in Black itself was released in 1980, and its title track "Back in Black," along with a host of other songs, helped make it the group's most successful album to date, selling well over 22 million copies worldwide.

 

Most guitar players have attempted to play "Back in Black" at some point in their guitar-playing careers, but few have mastered all the subtle changes and solos that make the song the classic that it is. Today's lesson is from SoloDallas, aka Filippo F. Olivieri, a self-described AC/DC junkie that can play the song almost as good as Angus. He uses an SG just like Angus, and offers some great tips for conquering this true rock and roll classic.

 

Obviously, we're starting the week off with a bang and we'll try to ride this killer rock and roll wave through to the end of the week with a few more essential AC/DC tutorials.
