...... Angus Young!  hi again, another lesson from me.. This time an "In the style of" lesson, I chose Angus Young purely because I was working on a riff for a little while and to me it sounded very AC/DC`ish, so I thougt I`d have a crack at doing an Angus Style solo over it, whilst I was working on this Ivan put up his AC/DC collaboration so I had to try and get this finished asap, you never know it may help??  Angus is a very bluesy, good old rocker style guitarist, not the most technical yet if you listen hard to some of his solo`s they are very good indeed, I guess that in the main as he`s running around the stage and throwing himself on the floor like a mad man possesed! his solos have to be fairly limited or else he wouldnt be able to do what he does, can you imagine Steve Vai. Malmsteen or Satch playing the kind of solo`s they do whilst bouncing themselves off of amp rigs etc  So lets dive straight into the lesson Pretty much most of the solo`s are Pentatonic or pentatonic minor based and the solo that I`ve done here I`m using Am pentatonic and Dm pentatonic for the key change in the middle. Am Pentatonic  Dm Pentatonic  Main Video

Number of downloads: 1057To try and keep the post a little shorter and make it easier to read etc, I`ve kept the tabs out of the post, instead I`ve supplied you the full tabs in the following formats, this should make it easier to read the tabs also. Tabs 
Angus.gp5 ( 5.32K )
Number of downloads: 360Due to my newness to GP5 I`ve used the program purely to tab out this solo, the note durations are not correct, however if you do play the file it does give you an idea of course 
Whole_tab_Angus.pdf ( 96.26K )
Number of downloads: 624I`ve broken the solo into 5 parts (the tabs when you open them are labelled accordingly) Part 1
Part_1.mpg ( 11.54MB )
Number of downloads: 513You dont have to play this part with your fingers although I think it sounds better and gives it more of an "Angus" feel, a fairly straight forward little riff to play. Part 2
Part_2.mpg ( 6.67MB )
Number of downloads: 430The starting two notes are probably the two notes I`ve heard the most of in Angus`s playing s I couldnt leave them out of this lesson! then a classic bluesy feel to the middle part. Part 3
Part_3.mpg ( 9.31MB )
Number of downloads: 422Lots of alternate picking in this part with the beginning and the run up played on the G string, this run is very simple to play but looks effective as well as sounding cool. (Quick apology on this video, I noticed at this posting stage I play the slow version incorrectly, by only playing the open G string once in between each other note, it should be twice as I play it in the fast demo and the main video, also the tab for this part is correct, I will rectify this video asap) Part 4
Part_4.mpg ( 7.9MB )
Number of downloads: 367Another classic part to Angus`s soloing, he`s a very rythmic player imo and uses these types of techniques to great effect Part 5
Part_5.mpg ( 6.93MB )
Number of downloads: 410A lick that again I hear in his solo`s a fair bit and its more about the rythm of the lick as opposed the amount of notes he plays, again all alternate picked. Backing Tracks Two backing speeds provided 100BPM (the normal speed) and 90 BPM 
Angus_young_style_lesson_backing_100BPM.mp3 ( 886.12K )
Number of downloads: 477
Angus_young_style__backing_90BPM.mp3 ( 909.39K )
Number of downloads: 397So, thats the lesson over, I hope you enjoyed it and thought that I`ve done Angus some justice as well. Until next time All the best Chris This post has been edited by Smells: Apr 11 2008, 08:58 PM -------------------- |
