Angus Young Style Rock Guitar Lick Lesson

Learn 3 high energy pentatonic guitar licks from blues and rock guitar master Angus Young based on his classic Back In Black guitar solo. Learn the scale shape they use, learn how to play them and pick up loads of performance and playing tips to help you take your rock guitar playing to the next level.

Here's a breakdown of what you learn in this video:

0:14 Introduction. Hear me demonstrate some of these licks over an AC/DC style backing track.

1:15 How to play E minor pentatonic scale as used in these licks. I'm going to explain and demonstrate the scale shape to help you get to grips with this crucially important rock and blues guitar scale. Complete with description and fingering guidelines. If you need more help learning these then check out my Essential Scales Playlist here:

2:05 Angus Young Guitar Lick 1 - similar to a lick Angus plays in the first guitar solo on Back In Black. It uses the E minor pentatonic scale pattern studied and makes use of an important Angus Young style blues/rock guitar double stop bend. Follow the fingering guidelines for the double stop bend - it can be a bit tricky at first! But once you've got it; instant Angus Young!

5:02 Angus Young Guitar Lick 2 - This Angus Young lick is using the same E minor pentatonic shape at the 12th fret. This is a great high energy rock guitar lick. It uses a repeating bend - be sure to follow the tips for musting and controlling your bends with your picking hand. It ends with an awesome little burst of speedy, triplet riffery!

8:16 Angus Young Guitar Lick 3 - This lick teaches you a great little double stop move which is a great addition to your rock lick trick bag. Even though it uses a note which isn't in the minor pentatonic scale it will still work great when used along with the scale notes. Take it and start experimenting with it so you get good at using it in your playing.

10:50 Follow this important picking hand muting technique. This can tidy up your playing massively. Use your picking hand and your pick to keep the unused strings silent as you release the string bends. Takes a little practice but essential stuff if you want your guitar soloing to sound slick!

12:22 What to do with these rock licks to get the most out of them. Experiment, jam, find your own little variations.
