How's it going guys?
It's Ryan from FullDistortion.com.
In this video we're going to take a look at Highway to Hell by ACDC.

Very much their sound.

So we'll show you how to play this.
And if you haven't done it already, go to the website, FullDistortion.com, sign up for

So now we'll take a look at how to play Highway to Hell by ACDC.
Alright, so first of all we are in E flat tuning, half step down.
So this one's going to start out with the sort of intro [Db] verse riff.
And that is starting on an A chord.
So you're going to play your A three times [C] and then mute it.
[N] Then you're going to play a chord.
I'm not exactly sure what the chord name is, but it's the B string third fret, G string
second fret, and low E string third fret.
So it's kind of like a backwards G almost.
I don't know.
I don't know what it's called.
But anyways, that's how you fret it.
You're going to hit that three times and then, [Gb] oh sorry, twice.
You're going to hit it twice.
And then the third time you're going to lift that index finger off of the G string.
[Eb] So, and then mute.
So
[Ab] with the A you've got [Eb]
repeat.
[Ab] [Bb] So it's again the A three times.
[E] And then that, [Eb] this twice and then lift.
Again, again.
And then this once, back to [Ab] the A twice.
[N] And that riff right there repeats throughout the intro and the [Bb] verse.
[Eb]
[Ab] [Bb] [Eb]
[Ab] [C] And then on the last time before you lead into the chorus, it goes to, [Ab] it hits that A once.
And then you're going to [Eb] go to an E power chord.
[Em] And you're going to just kind of hit that, kind of [Bb] just chug along on that.
[Ab]
So [Db]
[Bb]
[Eb] [Ab] and that leads into the chorus and the chorus is this.
[Db]
[Ab] [Db]
[Ab]
[Gb] [Ab] [Db]
[Ab] And so that is an A power chord.
So hit it again.
And then [F] you're going to go to a, what is that, a D power chord?
Yeah, it's a [Db] D.
[Ab]
[Db]
[Gb] And you're going to go.
[Db] [E] And what you're doing there is going to, keeping your finger on the third fret on the B string
and then going to the low E third fret.
[Gb] [Db] And then back to that D power chord.
And you [Ab] repeat, so with the A.
[Db]
[Ab]
[Db] [Gb] [Ab]
[Db] [Ab]
[Db] And then you finish on that D power chord there [Ab] and just
let it ring out.
And you go back into the verse.
[N] And that's pretty much Highway to Hell right there.
And so make sure to subscribe because we're going to do the solo for this song in a future
video so you don't want to miss that.
And now you can pretty much play along with that song by ACDC.
