Hopefully, mine sounds something like that one. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1446170467.jpg |
A great tune with that intoxicating AC/DC groove they were famous for. Classic layering of tracks as it builds up. There are only 2 guitarists in the band but at one point they have 5-6 guitar tracks layered in for a massive sound. I think Mutt Lange produced that album and it was a winner.
Funny, I didn't care for these guys when they first came out in the late 70s. I couldn't stand their vocals and thought the lyrics were crude. I missed out because they have grown on me over the years and there are a dozen AC/DC hits that are sure-thing cover songs even today. |

Playa76911S asked Wayne what he paid for his 917 when he was looking to buy a fab car Laser GT.
So........WTF?......Like,..how long will it take me at 59, with no musical background, and not much free time, to get as good as Angus/Malcolm? Is it a Youtube video watching thing in spare time with a couple weeks of practice or is there more? :D |

Best song intro ever, for this layman, is "Stay With Me". Gotta be some Ronnie Wood input. |

For pure guitar virtuosity not many get even close to Jeff Beck. Here's an alternate version of thunderstruck, just for fun: http://youtu.be/e4Ao-iNPPUc Oh , then there's Joe Satriani. ... http://youtu.be/CgUwD9e8uNM The solo section from 5:00 to 5:55 or so span so many technical boundaries it hard to count them all. Sorry I can't embed YouTube - on my phone & the newest app version is a hot mess. |

Then he says after vid "Load in Boogie with Stu?" Sweet! Intro guitar is right speaker only. |

Personally, I'm struggling at age 48, literally a week from 49. It's much harder than it seems and takes a real commitment. Something I've always struggled with. I plan on making some real gains in the next year. It's something I'd really like to accomplish. |
It's never been easier to learn guitar. I mean, it really doesn't get any easier than it is now. When I started around 1984, there was no online TAB, no Youtube demos and very few TAB books. You ran to the pharmacy each month to see which songs the latest guitar mag. had TAB'ed out and they were usually pretty sloppy. Sometimes you could buy instructional audio or video tapes from ads in the back of the mags (wait 6-8 wks. for delivery). For me it was "play, pause, rewind, play, pause" for hours upon hours every day after school and all day on weekends.
Nowadays you can go to songsterr.com and find any song in the world TAB'ed out with a follow-along play options. You can find lessons on Youtube with slow motion and TAB running along the bottom of the screen. You can find a live concert video of any guitar here, taken on an iPhone, that shows every trick in the book. These days it's nothing more than a will to learn and practice. The tools are all just a click away and they're free. |

As for pan right left or center, who cares? It's rock 'n roll. As for getting good, the rule of thumb is 10k hours gets you proficient at most things. Exceptional is another thing.... or as the jazz guys say - the first 20 years are the hardest. BTW I've done my time in the trenches :: Freeborn Guitars :: . After 30+ years running power tools I don't do much electric music. The acoustic equivalent of shredding is best done by my pal Woody Mann: <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IR11zjbUOU8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |

Nice vid on the acoustic guitar by your pal. Quote:
I do still have that Strat I bought my daughter............... Don't know if I will make a choice to find the 10k hours Charles mentions, but with 100 hours invested, bet I would appreciate music more. |
Just sit on the couch unplugged and practice while you watch TV. Learn D, A and G. Now you can play "Ball and Chain" by Social D. and "Dead flowers" by The Stones and a bunch of other songs. Then branch out from there.

I am another AC/DC fan. I can play music on my computer and iPhone and even in my car. That is the extent of my musical ability. If I watched that performance in a TV show or movie I would figure it is just Hollywood BS. How in the world can a guy play the guitar like that and only use one hand? I had no idea it was even possible. |
This popped up on my Facebook feed from my pal Jennifer. She's playing through an Organ Patch that makes her guitar sound like, well,,, an organ... Boy howdy Jeff's got some chops...

"It started off from a little trick I had on guitar. I played it to Mal and he said 'Oh, I've got a good rhythm idea that will sit well in the back.' We built the song up from that.
Yes! Did not see this on Wiki but another site that said about the same. That rhythm IS the tune. When movies want to use the song, $500k...and they pay it. |
The local MBA team AKA "the Thunder" got permission to use Thunderstruck for the first home game. I am sure they paid big for that right. An acquaintance of mine managed to get to see that first game. He said the atmosphere was electric with the song pounding loud and the team players running onto the floor.
