T.N.T.

"T.N.T." is a hard rock track by AC/DC, recorded in 1975 and written by Bon Scott, Angus Young, and Malcolm Young. Originally released on the Australian album T.N.T., it later appeared on the international edition of High Voltage and was issued as a single in 1976. The song is a staple for electric guitarists, built around a driving, mid-tempo riff that showcases Malcolm Young's tight rhythm work and Angus Young's raw lead style, making it an excellent study in classic hard rock guitar dynamics.

  • Malcolm Young's rhythm guitar on T.N.T. is a masterclass in power chord economy, using minimal notes for maximum impact.
  • The song runs approximately 3 minutes and 35 seconds, giving guitarists a concise structure that is easy to analyze and practice.
  • T.N.T. reached No. 19 on the Australian Kent Music Report Singles Chart upon its 1976 release.

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.
