Notes
Live performance, early 1990s (AC/DC Live era). Angus Young's rig is extremely simple: SG into Marshall Super Lead, no pedals or effects except possibly a wireless system. No evidence of additional pedals or rack effects for clean tone. No effects loop. No amp reverb or built-in effects.

Difficulty
The solo is technically straightforward but requires control of guitar volume for clean tone, dynamic picking, and clear articulation of single notes at moderate tempo.
