How to Play Whole Lotta Rosie by AC/DC - Part 3

The second part of the solo, let us see this scale a little better. So it is something that is to be used by Angus a lot back in those times when he did not know what to do and he was improvising. I think he was using this scale a lot. And even in this studio solos actually, he is using it. And so there will be a band here. He could be doing this kind of thing that is very common often. He probably starts it off this way and then switches into something like this so this is basically like this.

You can also bend a bit there or do not bend at all. Okay, so let us go back to what he does. He will bend again therefore to the scale and then we will go up here. It is a G that with a bend will turn into an A. What does he do here? Well, at first, I thought he was doing this so I thought he was going on the E string as well up here. And actually, he might be doing this. It is typical of him but I found it easier to simulate this thing and just to go like this. This is played all along with the B string. So alternate picking. I ten dot go right on where the strings get harder to play so it is more an easy attack like that and then he will do this little scale to come down. He then begins the same kind of scale that he was using back down here. To do that a number of time, you have to either find it by instinct to yourself or count the number of times he does this. We are just at the right tone of course so just go down and do this little thing here and then an open string. So let us see the solo.

There we have the final little solo, which he uses to end the song. We will begin after this and then we will go up here. We are on the 14th fret on the G and B strings. It almost sounds like an organ there. I do this differently each time so I do not really know what he is doing there but this note is I think for sure. Something like that and then he will jump I think and will start and will try to end the song with the usual A chord but I think he misses there because of the jump and only Malcolm will do that part. If he do the right channel, there is no Angus closing with the A note and I think that was just a little curiosity. Something interesting that I could close as well in this tutorial. I really hope you see what I did and hopefully what he did as well. If it sounds right to you, there is going to be a good starting point anyway if you really want to go deep further into it and really nail it perfectly 100% accurately. So thanks very much for watching this and for your usual comments that really bring a little more shine in my life.
