The entire Powerage album is full of underrated bangers. Riff Raff, Sin City, Down Payment Blues and Gimme A Bullet to name a few.

The live version of Riff Raff (first track on If You Want Blood You’ve Got It) is one of Angus’ best performances 🤘

[TylerJohnstonGuitar]

Let’s Get It Up is an underrated riff by AC/DC. Simple yet effective.

[georgeprice]

It’s a bit of a nod to Fleetwood Mac’s “Oh Well” opening riff, which I didn’t notice until a few years ago.

[logangrzesiek]

Great riff, thanks for the breakdown. In my eyes, "Ride On" is the most underrated AC/DC song, as a whole - maybe classic rock song ever, even. Cheers!

[christopherguzzi]

Great riff, in keeping with "Oh Well" and "Walk This Way".

[papawoody]

Angus and Malcom are responsible for some of the greatest riffs of all time. Riff Raff, Dirty Deeds, TNT, Whole Lotta Rosie, Long Way to the Top, Jailbreak, the list just goes on.

First album I heard was Powerage. My uncle cued up Down Payment Blues and I was hooked. I often use this riff as a warm up because it incorporates more than one technique. Your spot on with the upward picked note.

Sounds very much like the Peter Green intro on Fleetwood Mac's 'Oh Well'

[peteryelverton]

Powerage is a great album. The VH1 live version of "Gone Shootin" is just phenomenal.

[jonahguitarguy]

Criminally close to Peter Green’s Oh Well. Great riff regardless

[DeGroove]

My favourite riff of all time, always been…was inspired by the fleetwood Mac “Oh well” riff. Absolute classic! That opening upstroke is interesting indeed…don’t know if I’ll be able to ‘unlearn’ the way I’ve always played it…

Landslide off of Flick of the switch is the most underrated song and riff in their entire catalogue, they go flat out from the start and a killer solo too .

[Sean_Plays_Guitar]

Bro....this is my favorite AC/DC song ever! Thanks for making this one!

[hangaroundrecords]

This and Riff Raff are my two favorite guitar riffs to play. Love it!!!

Had tix for AC/DC given to me for X-mas. They announced after tickets were out that Axl was taking the lead vocals. I was skeptical having heard some of his more recent live performances in what was that current line-up of GnR (no Slash, no Duff). From the opening track they (Axl included) killed it. They had a good dosage of the Bon Scott era (Rock and Roll Damnation, Hell Ain’t a Bad Place to Be, Live Wire, Sin City, Rosie..to name a few). Riff Raff in the encore between Hells Bells and For Those About to Rock. I wasn’t able to see Brian Johnson (or Malcom) but that was a straight up ass kicking rock and roll show full of killer AC/DC riffage. 🤘🏼

This is actually my "go to" AC/DC riff. Always impresses bystanders.

[onewiththings]

I want to know how to clean up my technique/phrasing/picking. You are knocking it out of the park with these explanations, and I'm planning to sign up for the course.

[kkrekula]

One of my favorite riffs from the Highway to Hell album - don't understand why they did not play it live more...

[GibsonSG.]

Yes I love how much acdc content is happening I love this song ever since I was little I had wanted to learn this thanks man awesome job
