Great lessons Mike, thank you!

Is there any chance of us getting the song High Voltage to add to this great collection?

Well Mike...........I always considered myself pretty darn good at figuring out other artist's songs or even their playing styles...........but I am absolutely humbled by your obvious great knack (Hey!! The Knack.........kidding........maybe!!) for doing so and then extending things even deeper by analyzing some cool variants on your own and demonstrating this to us all........great work!! I am getting much better at doing all this.........especially following your nice logical approach and chord breakdowns.....the effects or cool techniques on several of your contributions are definitely all part of your genius...........hopefully.........G.T. has a solid appreciation for all your great handiwork!! Jim C.

Unfortunately, High Voltage is not on the list at this time. Still, there are 3 more AC/DC songs that will be appearing on the site in the coming weeks. In the meantime, head over and leave your request in the Song Request Forum. If there's enough interest, GT will work towards getting approvals for more AC/DC tunes for the site!!

Thank you Mike for these AC/DC song lessons. Appreciate having tabs, backing tracks and top notch instructional videos all together. Kudos to the vocalist belting these songs out and to the GT team for obtaining the necessary licensing agreement. Looking forward to the next batch. Quite certain Back in Black will be one of the three songs being presented next. Not sure about the other two as they have so many outstanding songs. Thanks again!

Will any of the next AC/DC songs be in an easier format (2 guitar difficulty maybe?) or would some of these be transformed to an easier version?

I'm just starting out but would love to try a few easy AC/DC riffs if not entire songs.

Thanks! Nice to see AC/DC here regardless of the difficulty...

I'll check with HQ to see if there are any plans for made easy versions. In the meantime, I suggest trying to learn the riffs in TNT and Highway To Hell as they are more on the easier side. It's not necessary at first to learn any of the leads if you're just starting out - so just start out with one of the riffs from either of those songs and start working on it!

Hope this helps -- have fun with it!!

Mike

Thanks guys, this gives me a lot to work with. No need for easy versions of these songs. I'll be busy enough as is. As long as there are a few riffs here and there that I can work on, that's all I'm looking for. From there I can work towards the entire songs...in time...:-).

Thanks again!

Barry
