AC/DC You Shook Me All Night Long Isolated Guitar Solo Tab

You Shook Me All Night Long is one of AC/DC’s greatest hard rock anthems, released on Back in Black (1980). The guitar solo by Angus Young is pure pentatonic rock — raw, aggressive, and packed with attitude. This isolated version lets you hear every note and technique detail clearly.

About the Solo

Angus Young’s solo is a blueprint for classic rock lead guitar — aggressive bends, double stops, and a tone that cuts through everything. The isolated track reveals the raw precision behind what seems like chaos. There is nothing wasted in this solo.

What You Will Work On

  • Pentatonic rock phrasing — classic AC/DC vocabulary
  • Aggressive string bends — hard, confident, no hesitation
  • Double stops — two-note phrases that add power
  • Rock rhythm and timing — locking in with the band feel
  • Tone and attack — how Angus makes every note count

Tips for Learning This Solo

  • Use the isolated track to check pitch on every bend.
  • Focus on the attitude — this solo is about feel as much as technique.
  • Work on double stops separately before adding them to the full solo.
  • Match the attack and dynamics of the original recording.
