You Shook Me All Night Long

"You Shook Me All Night Long" is a hard rock track by AC/DC, featured on the landmark album Back in Black. It marked a turning point for the band as the first single recorded with vocalist Brian Johnson, who stepped in after the death of Bon Scott in February 1980. For electric guitarists, the song is a staple study in Malcolm and Angus Young's signature rhythm and lead interplay, built around driving power chords and a memorable, stripped-back rock riff.

  • This was AC/DC's first single with Brian Johnson on vocals, following Bon Scott's death in February 1980.
  • The song runs approximately 3 minutes and 30 seconds, making it a tight, well-structured track ideal for practicing rock rhythm guitar.
  • It later appeared on AC/DC's soundtrack album Who Made Who and was re-released internationally as a single in 1986.

Gibson SG Standard

Angus Young's 1968 Gibson SG Standard is the foundation of AC/DC's signature tone, its lightweight mahogany body and full upper-fret access enabling his aggressive, fluid lead work. Stock Gibson humbuckers push Marshall Plexi amps into natural tube saturation, giving him the perfect balance of dynamics and crunch without relying on effects.

Marshall Plexi (1959 Super Lead)

The Marshall 1959 Super Lead cranked to full volume is where Angus Young's power comes from, with no master volume control forcing the power tubes to compress and break up naturally. This thick, harmonically rich overdrive defines AC/DC's raw, unprocessed rock tone straight from guitar to amp.

Marshall JTM45

Angus Young uses the Marshall JTM45 as his primary amp for achieving natural tube saturation at high volumes, where the amp's power tubes generate organic overdrive without any pedal assistance. This minimalist, direct approach captures AC/DC's core sound: pure, uncolored guitar and amp interaction.
