I’m a huge Angus Young fan… he was, arguably, my first guitar hero way back in the late 1970s…
And what I’ve come to learn as I’ve gotten more into the blues and its history, is that Angus had some great blues moves that apply as much to classic rock as they do the blues.
In this video, I’ll show you one that he uses a lot in “Back In Black,” and many other songs, where he “turns” around the blue note in a minor blues scale (the b5.)

Hey griff, what year is your SG? I got the 69, restored. square inlay all the way down. I had it all my life.
BTW, I understand this lesson, I just don’t have any idea where you are putting that lick at. Your killin me!
It’s a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll!
It would be better and easier with tab. Thanks
can you show a tab of the turn around notes Thanks
Tab out walk don’t run by the ventures
This works well for me after a couple measures of the one, and after an introduction that sort pf “borrows” from this tonally. Believe it or not, there are some Otis Rush intros that sound quite like this.
Thanks!

You even broke out the SG for today’s lesson! This was a fun lesson, I’ve been a fan of Angus and Malcolm since Dirty Deeds came out
