Shoot To Thrill features on AC/DC’s global smash comeback album, Back In Black. The backbone of the band’s sound comes from the dual guitars of sibling pair Angus and Malcolm Young. Their powerhouse rhythm parts are the perfect example of how twin guitar parts should lock and groove, with Angus’ solos providing the icing on the cake – hard-hitting blues-influenced licks delivered with killer tone and perfect time.
The rhythm parts are based around open-position powerchords. G5 is the same as open G, but the fifth string is nearly always muted. D5 is based on that easy open D shape, but frequently played over a low A. Angus’ lead parts are largely pentatonic, but STT’s solos are much more than mere one-shape wonders, so be sure to read the scales info below.
