Learn ACDC's Back In Black

Back In Black by AC/DC is one of greatest hit written in the 1980's in my opinion. The guitar riff is really catchy and cool sounding.

Points to take note of when learning to play ACDC's Back in Black

1 - Listen to the song to get the melody into your head. This is a relatively easy song and it helps when you know the flow and order of the song at the back of your mind.

2 - When playing the opening riffs, there is quite a number of open string pull offs as well as hammer ons. What you need to take note here is that you need to keep the playing cleaning. Bear in mind that you don't have unwanted noise from other strings when you perform the pull offs. Otherwise, the riffs would sound very muzzled when playing a distorted guitar.

3 - Practice the 3 basic power chords - E , D and A power chords. Get your fingers used to changing chords fluently to get a smooth sound on the guitar.

4 - The introduction guitar riffs involves playing a series of notes while descending down the strings. The tabs look something like this

E:-3--0----------
B:------3--0-----
G:-----------2br-

Take note of the bend and bend release at the end. This is not an easy bend to perform as it is relatively near the nut of the guitar and would require relatively strong fingers to pull this off.
