I learned a lot of guitar playing along with early AC/DC songs. I used to call it "play along with Malcolm" as many of the songs are really easy. The funny thing is that when you dig slightly below the surface, AC/DC is more complex than it seems. A lot of the rythym parts in the early songs are open chords (vs mindless bar chords) and some of the songs are actually challenging to play well (for me anyway). "Gone Shootin' " and "Riff Raff" come to mind. The actual chords to "Highway to Hell" are tricky. I still can't play "Beatin' Around the Bush".

Go ahead and say, "yeah, but you must suck"... That's probably an accurate reflection of my guitar-playing prowess, but I have been playing for about 28 years and I guarantee I have as much fun playing guitar as anybody and I think that's what it's all about.
