Okay. So, today we’re looking into “For those about to rock.” First of, I need to thank someone, I forgot its screen name. I’ve always thought that the intro part was played like this.
[Demo]
And maybe one on the regional recording, one of the two parts is maybe played like this just to make a chromatic difference but it seems like the main part is actually played like this, like this guys suggested, that instead of going with the three fingers like this. I hope you can see this. I came up to the camera as much as I could this time. So, instead of like pushing all these three notes and these is Flat G on the G string. Yes, right. And these are Flat G on the G string.
[Demo]
Just on the 11th fret and then it’s a B played on the B string on the twelfth fret and a flat E on the 11th fret okay and walking.
[Demo]
Okay, so it sounds a lot better and a lot more like the original thing just leaving the B string ringed open. So, you’re actually only using these two fingers seemingly. And listen to the difference.
[Demo]
A lot more powerful, to my ears it sounds like it’s been one part is—at least one part is played like this. So, thank you for pointing this out to me and of course I tried it. I tried most things. I tried most things that you guys suggest me. And as you can see it’s a mutual learning process. Okay so, thank you for this. So, after the intro part, we go to the main thing and that is played in the key of B and to my ears it starts with this power B chord. And actually, there’s a little movement there that goes…
[Demo]
So, basically it’s a power of B chord and letting the A string open.
[Demo]
And then G.
[Demo]
This kind of D with an F sharp in it.
[Demo]
So, it’s much used by AC/DC. We’ve already seen this by now so.
[Demo]
Okay. Now, Angus does a little two parts—two little parts in there which I find most interesting and fascinating and it always caught my ear while I’m growing up. And one is…
[Demo]
And I think he goes because I’ve seen his hand being stock here.
[Demo]
And that thing is…
[Demo]
So, basically it’s an E chord that I think he has to finger differently this time because he wants to put the accent on this vibrating E played on the second fret of the D string.
[Demo]
So, for me helping my hand with two fingers to have more strength.
[Demo]
To do the vibrating part, I figured that a possible way to finger it would be like this. So, you have the E note plaid on the 2second fret of the D string like this then you’ll have an A-flat note played on the first fret on the G string exactly for like a regular D. And I’m not playing and it sounds like he is not playing base, E and the open string in any way. So, it’s just concentrated on this part of the fret board and strings.
[Demo]
And it would go something like.
[Demo]
Strike the first two notes.
[Demo]
E and flat A
[Demo]
Open
[Demo]
And play the rest of the chords downwards.
[Demo]
And start vibrating on your E note on the D string.
[Demo]
Like that or something like that. Okay, so this is how I did it on the video. And now, I hope he does it or think he does it so.
[Demo]
And now, there’s the second little trick.
[Demo]
He basically starts on the A note.
[Demo]
Played on the seventh fret D string. He slides it.
[Demo]
To a B note.
[Demo]
And then plays accordingly on the seventh fret, the B string and E string.
[Demo]
And he goes back to the B note.
[Demo]
Only these two strings, the B string, actually only of these three strings, the D string, the B string and the E string seemingly are played in this little lick here.
[Demo]
Okay then go back.
[Demo]
And then the verse starts and it’s a D chord.
[Demo]
Sliding up, not always he slides it up I think. I forget. I tend to do it every time actually. We have it record on this part.
[Demo]
And then we have that D—the D chord that we have seen previously on “Let’s Get it Up.”
[Demo]
With the same movement actually that we have seen in “let’s get it up” which is a very rock and roll thing very much used, these are used…
[Demo]
Like that. Here, we are usi
