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

ACDC  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.
