This early AC/DC track features a raw, driving rhythm guitar part built on hard-hitting open and barre chord shapes that lock in tightly with the drums, making it a great loop for cementing right-hand attack and chord transitions. The lead work is sparse and bluesy, giving players a clear look at how melodic fills can punctuate a rock groove without overplaying.

Read the full story

This track is one of AC/DC's earliest recordings, offering a direct window into the raw, unpolished energy that the band was built on. Learning it means connecting with the roots of a sound that would go on to define arena rock for decades.

The original version was recorded in 1974 and released on the Australian edition of High Voltage in 1975, featuring Dave Evans on vocals before the more famous Bon Scott lineup. A re-recorded version with Bon Scott also exists, making this a rare opportunity to compare two distinct performances of the same material.

The feel is a driving, eighth-note rock groove with a no-frills chord-based structure. The arrangement is sparse and intentional, with the rhythm guitar doing the heavy lifting. There are no elaborate transitions or production tricks, just tight interplay between the instruments holding a steady pocket.

When approaching this song, focus on consistency and commitment to the groove. The form is straightforward, which means there is nowhere to hide. Work on locking in with the rhythm section from the very first beat, keeping dynamics even throughout the verses and letting the natural push of the arrangement do the work. Playing with restraint is as important as playing with power here.

  • Artist: AC/DC
  • Album: High Voltage (Australian edition, 1975)
  • Original vocalist: Dave Evans; a Bon Scott re-recording also exists
  • Feel: straight eighth-note rock groove in 4/4
  • Arrangement: guitar-driven, minimal production, tight rhythm section focus
  • Historical significance: one of the band's earliest released recordings
