g'day guys and today I mean today
because we are looking at what is
probably Australia's greatest rock band
ac/dc and back in black but the groove
is super simple but there's lots of
little things that go along with the
riff that we're going to want to work
out so we can play the song exactly like
they do let's get into it
alrighty so let's kick it off with the
groove that you're going to be playing
pretty much the entire song and this is
some classic ac/dc stuff you're going to
have no problems with this at all
it goes like this it's that simple
kick snare kick snare but I have to say
even though it is simple there's a
certain kind of skill that it takes to
be able to really lay down that groove
repetitively over and over again and
make it feel good so work on that and
don't get too distracted and try and
throw in too many of your own fields
actually try and play the song alright
there are some cool fills for us to look
at however and they kind of go along
with the brief so the first one that
we're going to look at is the one that
goes back down bad zone by zone by zone
ok so that's going to go like this ok so
we're trying to get that open open
hi-hat that kind of sizzle but you
probably just leave your foot off and
that's still going to sound pretty good
I'll play it for you once more sometimes
he plays it too on the snare again
sometimes it's that extra hi-hat and
every now and again there's a little
fill at the end so the basis of that is
kind of there and if you want to add
those extra flavors use your ears and
see if you can work them out then once
again we'll jump back into our beep
which is super easy and then by the end
of the chorus when it's back in black we
have another little fill that kind of
follows on with the lugs there and that
sounds like this
once more and again the first time you
don't play a play in there but every now
and again it changes it up to flames
sometimes it's to snare drums before
that so again use your ears to try and
get the extra bits but that's the basic
part that you're gonna need then
eventually we get up to the guitar solo
and in the guitar solo there's one thing
that we do every four bars so I'll play
the full four bars for you and see if
you can picture the song in your head so
it's those crashes then when we get to
the next chorus we kind of set up the
lyrics so that's going to sound like
this coming out of the guitar so it was
ball
so you can definitely hear that one in
the song as well hopefully you'll be
able to pick it out then we get to the
end of the chorus and we do a similar
thing to what we've been doing in all
the other ones okay so that's going into
that up-tempo section I've still written
it in the same tempo that we've we've
already been playing in even though it
feels like it's double speed
I'll play it for you once more coming
out of that there's a little fill cool
and then when we get to the end of that
course there's kind of that fake ending
where they kind of break for a little
bit and then it comes back in with yet
another guitar solo fantastic so anyway
that's this is how that breakdown beat
is going to go
and then it fades out so that should be
enough to get you through the entire
song I know there are a lot of finicky
bits but hopefully you can really hear
them because I think they stand out a
lot in the music because they're really
like intertwine with the rift and the
whole whole song really so anyway that's
back in black by ac/dc I hope it's
helpful as always if you have any
questions pop them in the comment
section below and I'll catch you guys at
the next lesson
