Highway To Hell by AC/DC

    The Main Riff

    The main riff has a lot of silence in between notes, so be sure to muffle out your guitar where there is a rest. The notes on the low E string is best played with your thumb.

    Chorus

    Here’s what the bass and guitar sound like together:

    Solo

    This is a great Angus Young solo based on the pentatonic minor scale. The rhythm guitar plays the same riff as from the chorus whereas the bass part becomes a little more involved.
