Episode 36 of the Kirklees Guitar School Podcast is here, and this time James and George take a deep dive into the unmistakable sound of AC/DC in our latest Artist Profile episode, focusing on the legendary lead guitarist Angus Young. In this episode, we explore what truly makes AC/DC one of the most iconic rock bands of all time, breaking down the raw energy, tone, phrasing, and groove that define their music. From the blues-infused swagger of the Bon Scott era through to the stadium-sized riffs of the Brian Johnson years, we analyse how Angus Young’s lead guitar work evolved while still staying true to the band’s signature sound. We also give a well-deserved nod to the rhythm powerhouse Malcolm Young, whose tight, driving guitar parts are the backbone of the AC/DC groove. Throughout the episode, we break down some of the most iconic AC/DC riffs that every guitarist should know, including “Girls Got Rhythm,” “Baby Please Don’t Go,” “The Jack,” “T.N.T.,” “Shoot to Thrill,” “You Shook Me All Night Long,” “Hells Bells,” “Rock and Roll Train,” “Back in Black,” “Highway to Hell,” and “Thunderstruck.” Whether you’re a beginner learning your first classic rock riffs or a more experienced player looking to tighten up your timing and feel, this episode is packed with practical insights into rhythm guitar, lead phrasing, and how to capture that authentic AC/DC tone. We also dig into the gear, touch, and attitude that make Angus Young’s playing so instantly recognisable, and discuss what guitarists can learn from studying his approach, from simple pentatonic ideas to high-energy performance techniques. If you’re interested in classic rock guitar, improving your rhythm playing, or understanding how legendary riffs are built, this episode is a must-listen.
