The title track to AC/DC’s bestselling album “Back in Black” with over 40 million sales worldwide. It was also the first album to feature Brian Johnson as lead singer, released 5 months after Bon Scott’s untimely demise.
The song (and album) is a tribute to Bon Scott and with lyrics like, “Forget the hearse, cause I never die” it suggests that Scott will live on forever through his music.
In this video guitar lesson from Jamplay David does a great job of showing all the main parts of the song. The main rhythm of Back in Black shouldn’t be too hard to nail -down for anyone who has learnt how to play bar chords.
I have also included a backing track for the song. Have fun rockin’ to this one, I know I did!

He’s playing them 3 times…It’s just hard to hear all 3 because they are strummed so quickly.

even when you were playing that riff the easier way you still un-needingly complicated it. don’t move your first finger up every time just use your second and third fingers.
