“Highway To Hell” solo & tutorial

A couple of my students started working on this tune last week and I had to take a couple days off lessons to do the Copycats and Pro-fé-cia shows this weekend, which means I won’t be there to show them how to play the solo. So I decided to make it my solo video this week to help them get a head start!

I’ve never actually learned an entire Angus Young solo note-for-note before. There are some odd position shifts and bends in this one that really took me by surprise. The track is also flat! It’s about a quarter-tone off, so if you try playing along with the track and find that it doesn’t sound right, that’s why. I’ve got a pitch-fixed version of the song available here that you can play along with. It’s pretty fun and not terribly difficult, so have at it!
