Let Me Put My Love Into You by AC/DC, from Back in Black (1980), features the raw, aggressive guitar work that made Angus Young one of the most influential rock guitarists in history. Pure pentatonic rock energy delivered with absolute conviction.
About This Lesson
Angus Young’s playing is deceptively simple — he uses basic pentatonic vocabulary but delivers it with an energy and commitment that most guitarists can only dream of. This track demonstrates his approach perfectly: raw, direct, and completely committed to the feel of the song.
What You Will Work On
- Angus Young-style pentatonic phrasing — raw, direct, full of attitude

- Simple vocabulary delivered with power — the essence of Angus Young’s style
- High-energy rock feel — the attitude behind the notes
Tips for Learning
