Just before the usual flood of Back in Black, Highway to Hell etc. come in :wink: I'm looking for a song which is easy in it's entirety, not just in the main riff.
The solos in both the aforementioned songs are a little tricky for me at this stage, as there are some quick movements which I'm just not good enough to play well. :oops:
Are there any good AC/DC tracks with simpler solos? Apart from the Big Balls one. :mrgreen:
Thanks. :)
Edit: In my usual style I've spotted the "readme" post after I have posted :oops: but seeing as this isn't requesting a particular tab but more calling upon the general knowledge of the folks on here, I'm hoping this is in the right place!

TNT is very basic.
just remember with ACDC. they use chords that sound goodwhen overdriven. there is a clarity within the chord o give it that great tone they have.
three note chords or power chords, often work best.
TNT is easy because the chords are simple. you get to palm mute and work with a tight beat.

It's a long way to the top if you want to rock n roll!
Try "Dog Eat Dog". The solo is pretty easy and it uses these four chords in a couple different progressions. E A D G
e --------------3|
b ---------3----3|
g -----2---2----0|
D -2---2---0----0|
A -2---0---------|
E -0------------3|
If you can dial in a great overdrive tone on your amp, without too much distortion and can make these chords sound clear, you'll be able to play a bunch of AC/DC songs! You should pick up the album "Let There Be Rock". Most of those songs are very easy to play.
Thanks for the replies. The songs that have been posted seem to have pretty complicated solos though. :shock:
I don't have an issue with the riffs generally, it's more finding a song with a not too-complex solo which I might have a reasonable chance of playing at my level?

Malcolms riffs are not easy.
just make up your own to fit.
I've played several AC/DC songs and believe me the solo for Shook me all night long is the easiest of any of the songs that have been listed here. Not saying that it won't take a bit of work but it's definitely doable.
I think the opening riff to Shook me all night long is harder than the solo.

Just forget the solo and replace it with something you can play. It's rock n roll, so screw the sheet music. :P
Sin City was the 1st AC/DC song I learned, and it's not too difficult.

One you might like to try is Ride On. It translates to acoustic really well too.

Playing guitar and never playing for others is like studying medicine and never working in a clinic.

Angus Young's solos can be a bit tricky, but they are mostly improvisations around the pentatonic scale. What i do, is improvise my own solos, but i use the most distictive licks from Angus's solos, and add them into my own improvs.
