Great lesson! Your channel is fantastic! This will be the 4th or 5th song you've inspired me to learn. I'm 50+ and getting back into guitar. Thanks!

The value of learning songs and having fun playing them is the reason most pick up the guitar, and Its the reason we pick back up again. Great job man !!

Thankyou KDA. YOU AREVERRRY. GOOD. PLAY VERY WELL. AND TEACH WELL. GREAT EAR AND GREAT PLAYIN. IM 62. Love the 80 s. Bands thankyou

[joelmartin]

Thanks KD! I got the intro, verse, and chorus sections down., just had trouble following the solo section cause you played through some of the runs without calling out the notes, I know you sad it wasn’t exact version but your’s sounded great to me. I’ll have to go back and review, stop, rewind, replay through the solo to get it worked out.

Very kool lesson, short and sweet commentary and right straight to business...

I was 14 yrs. old in 1979 and this was the first song I learned in it's entirety...from If You Want Blood...
I didn't play it as good as Kelly does, but it was close enough...

Bloody awesome! ACDC is the reason I started learning guitar, and this is one of my favorite songs, I'm gonna have a crack, looks pretty simple besides the solo lol!

[RAMOSACER]

Nice! Brought me. Ack to my teens, , great band!

[RonaldKing-cc]

Super! You can’t teach too much AC/DC!!

[TommySG]

Love this tune man….. thanks for doing it!~

[JohnAndersonJA]

Brilliant!!! You should create an online course for beginner and intermediate players and put it on the web - I would happily pay for that.

The jack. I learned some of this by ear. But my ear is nowhere even close to yours. But now I have it all and not to difficult a song if you have spent some time jamming and playing. Thanks.

Love your tutorials Kelly. How about Kicked in the teeth again from Powerage?

[rickyparr]

really cool riff i would love to learn how to play the kid is hot tonight by loverboy it seems like a pretty easy song to learn

[stephenmorphett]

In the intro play the "B" as shown, play the "A" on the 5th and 4th strings i.e. ;- open 5th, 2nd fret 4th string, 4th fret 4th string, 5th fret 4th string, it's the "correct" way & the lower tone "sounds" much better. It "fits" but doesn't sound quite right played on the 6th string ! Good lesson though, I love the early ACDC, Bonn Scott era !

Love your lessons Kelly Dean
Could you please do a solo lesson on Eric Clapton's Hello Old Friend by George Terri

[stevenbrownlie]

Nice one Kelly Dean. Appreciated. Might I suggest Alice Cooper’s epic Halo of Flies at some point down the line. Positively not being patronising but I’m damn sure you’d do it justice.

[stephenmorphett]

It's a great song, the string skip in the intro isn't difficult @ that pace, though it's not wrong to play it as shown. Challenge yourself a little, drop to the open string A5, Malcom was a brilliant rythmn player, sadly missed. The entire "Let There Be Rock" album is great, they had so many it's hard to pick a favorite, that's mine ! What's your favorite, ACDC song, album, riff ? So many to choose from ! Have fun trying !
