Notes

Studio recording for 'Through The Mists Of Time' (2020, Power Up album). Angus Young's main riff guitar. No evidence of pedals except possible Schaffer Replica preamp/boost. Amp is classic Marshall Plexi, as per all modern AC/DC studio work. No evidence of live-specific gear or alternate guitars for this riff.

Difficulty

The riff is rhythmically tight and requires precise timing and dynamic control, but does not involve advanced techniques or high speed, making it accessible to intermediate players.
