1
00:00:30,727 --> 00:00:33,264
Rock n' Roll Ain't Noise Pollution

2
00:00:33,264 --> 00:00:35,184
possibly one of the greatest rock riffs

3
00:00:35,184 --> 00:00:38,314
of all time by the legends AC/DC

4
00:00:38,314 --> 00:00:40,387
let's get to a closeup and check out

5
00:00:40,387 --> 00:00:42,204
the left-hand fingering first up

6
00:00:42,985 --> 00:00:44,743
Okay, we are starting off here with

7
00:00:44,743 --> 00:00:46,975
the first finger in the first fret

8
00:00:46,975 --> 00:00:49,156
of the third string and we'll also

9
00:00:49,163 --> 00:00:52,133
be playing the open B string

10
00:00:52,133 --> 00:00:53,763
so we get a little interval of

11
00:00:53,763 --> 00:00:55,943
a third there and possibly playing the

12
00:00:55,943 --> 00:00:58,283
thickest E string but very heavily muted

13
00:00:59,679 --> 00:01:01,499
then the first finger is gonna move up

14
00:01:01,499 --> 00:01:03,869
and make a little bar on the second fret

15
00:01:05,229 --> 00:01:06,448
just playing the second

16
00:01:06,448 --> 00:01:08,061
and third strings again

17
00:01:09,501 --> 00:01:11,284
We might play a little of the

18
00:01:11,284 --> 00:01:13,090
open A string at this point as well

19
00:01:13,090 --> 00:01:14,943
I'll talk about the fingerpicking part

20
00:01:14,943 --> 00:01:15,997
a bit more in a second

21
00:01:16,390 --> 00:01:18,540
then we've got second and third fingers

22
00:01:18,540 --> 00:01:20,260
going down the second finger in

23
00:01:20,260 --> 00:01:21,740
the third fret and third finger

24
00:01:21,740 --> 00:01:22,930
on the fourth fret of the

25
00:01:22,930 --> 00:01:24,790
third string ,so we end up with

26
00:01:28,219 --> 00:01:31,219
and then we move back to the little bar

27
00:01:31,919 --> 00:01:33,459
these two are definitely played

28
00:01:33,459 --> 00:01:34,890
with the open A string as well

29
00:01:34,890 --> 00:01:36,313
but it's a little bit muted

30
00:01:40,357 --> 00:01:41,807
second and third go back on

31
00:01:42,651 --> 00:01:45,841
also played with the deadend open A

32
00:01:51,989 --> 00:01:53,949
then

33
00:01:53,953 --> 00:01:55,673
the second finger reaching over to

34
00:01:55,673 --> 00:01:58,363
the third fret of the thickest string

35
00:01:58,366 --> 00:02:00,806
with a little bit of a bend not a proper

36
00:02:00,806 --> 00:02:02,096
none of this stuff just a

37
00:02:03,666 --> 00:02:04,497
down to an E

38
00:02:04,497 --> 00:02:06,247
a little open E bar power

39
00:02:06,247 --> 00:02:08,307
so open E string, the thickest string

40
00:02:08,547 --> 00:02:11,057
first finger covering the second fret

41
00:02:11,057 --> 00:02:13,187
of the fifth string and the fourth string

42
00:02:13,188 --> 00:02:14,932
let's go to the main thing

43
00:02:21,523 --> 00:02:23,093
now we get the little riff part

44
00:02:23,093 --> 00:02:25,073
without any bass notes

45
00:02:26,907 --> 00:02:28,597
back with bass note

46
00:02:29,847 --> 00:02:31,477
its an A bass note

47
00:02:33,806 --> 00:02:36,026
and this time, its a bit of a shorter

48
00:02:36,026 --> 00:02:37,476
its the same note, the G

49
00:02:37,476 --> 00:02:39,306
the third fret of the thickest string

50
00:02:39,306 --> 00:02:40,806
but he jumps right up

51
00:02:40,826 --> 00:02:42,636
to the seventh fret

52
00:02:45,224 --> 00:02:48,124
cause you can hear the trial off

53
00:02:48,124 --> 00:02:50,204
the little chord sliding back down there

54
00:02:50,204 --> 00:02:51,944
it's quite a jump to get

55
00:02:53,390 --> 00:02:54,920
the open thickest string

56
00:02:54,920 --> 00:02:56,070
as well is ringing out

57
00:02:56,070 --> 00:02:58,810
so open E, E at the seventh fret

58
00:02:58,810 --> 00:03:01,250
of the fifth string

59
00:03:01,250 --> 00:03:04,020
this is like a power chord

60
00:03:04,020 --> 00:03:06,020
so you get that quite sticky

61
00:03:11,732 --> 00:03:13,322
quite a bit of a jump

62
00:03:14,963 --> 00:03:16,733
just gonna have to do it a few times

63
00:03:16,733 --> 00:03:17,832
get use to the movement

64
00:03:18,232 --> 00:03:20,042
let me play that riff for you one time

65
00:03:20,042 --> 00:03:21,472
nice and slow, just so you can

66
00:03:21,472 --> 00:03:22,852
see the whole riff in context

67
00:03:22,852 --> 00:03:25,132
then well have a look at the picking hand

68
00:03:54,064 --> 00:03:55,384
quite nice to get a bit of

69
00:03:56,344 --> 00:03:57,774
the nice vibrato here

70
00:03:57,774 --> 00:04:00,044
with the second and third fingers

71
00:04:00,365 --> 00:04:01,735
make sure using that kind of

72
00:04:01,735 --> 00:04:02,735
a pivot point there

73
00:04:02,735 --> 00:04:04,555
with the edge of your first finger

74
00:04:05,387 --> 00:04:06,397
that's where you get

75
00:04:06,397 --> 00:04:08,017
especially with two-finger bends

76
00:04:08,697 --> 00:04:10,677
the two-finger kind of heavy vibrato

77
00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:14,239
you get a bit on the A

78
00:04:14,239 --> 00:04:16,109
I think as much on the A on the record

79
00:04:16,109 --> 00:04:16,959
It's mainly

80
00:04:24,748 --> 00:04:26,188
Okay, lets have a look at

81
00:04:26,188 --> 00:04:27,078
the picking hand

82
00:04:27,078 --> 00:04:28,788
yes, I know I've got revolting nails

83
00:04:28,788 --> 00:04:30,418
but I need then for playing guitar

84
00:04:30,418 --> 00:04:31,718
so let's skip over that bit

85
00:04:31,718 --> 00:04:33,108
and get straight to actually

86
00:04:33,108 --> 00:04:34,068
looking at the tune

87
00:04:34,068 --> 00:04:34,938
Now, what we want

88
00:04:34,938 --> 00:04:36,638
is a really good palm mute on

89
00:04:36,638 --> 00:04:37,938
those thickest two strings

90
00:04:37,938 --> 00:04:39,438
cause the first time we play

91
00:04:39,438 --> 00:04:40,938
the low E and the A string

92
00:04:40,938 --> 00:04:42,158
the thickest string

93
00:04:42,388 --> 00:04:43,698
and the fifth string

94
00:04:43,698 --> 00:04:45,278
we want them really heavily muted

95
00:04:45,278 --> 00:04:47,238
cause they're not very loud on the record

96
00:04:47,238 --> 00:04:48,748
in fact, I was kind of debating

97
00:04:48,748 --> 00:04:49,338
if they're there


98
00:04:49,338 --> 00:04:50,638
but I'm pretty sure they're

99
00:04:50,638 --> 00:04:51,878
so we've got first of all

100
00:04:51,878 --> 00:04:53,968
thumb playing the thickest E

101
00:04:53,968 --> 00:04:55,778
fingers one and two plucking

102
00:04:55,778 --> 00:04:58,308
the second and third strings

103
00:04:58,308 --> 00:05:01,378
then it moves to the little A

104
00:05:01,378 --> 00:05:03,388
it moved over to the A string, then

105
00:05:03,568 --> 00:05:04,558
when you're playing

106
00:05:04,558 --> 00:05:06,368
your second and third fingers down

107
00:05:06,368 --> 00:05:08,668
there's no bass note

108
00:05:10,504 --> 00:05:12,964
so it just dies away

109
00:05:14,290 --> 00:05:16,070
kind of muting it a bit with my thumb

110
00:05:16,070 --> 00:05:17,770
actually, thinking about it

111
00:05:19,325 --> 00:05:20,485
and we're back

112
00:05:22,141 --> 00:05:22,851
so thumb and

113
00:05:22,851 --> 00:05:25,581
first and second fingers together

114
00:05:27,355 --> 00:05:29,275
then, when the second and third fingers

115
00:05:29,275 --> 00:05:31,735
go on that time, its with the A bass note

116
00:05:31,735 --> 00:05:33,025
it's kind of a funny note

117
00:05:33,025 --> 00:05:34,545
but it works, you know

118
00:05:39,758 --> 00:05:42,628
thumb, playing that low note

119
00:05:43,115 --> 00:05:45,485
thumb, first and second

120
00:05:45,485 --> 00:05:47,255
playing all at once

121
00:05:48,012 --> 00:05:49,672
second time, there's no bass note

122
00:05:49,672 --> 00:05:50,832
for that little climb up

123
00:05:50,832 --> 00:05:52,432
not that I can hear

124
00:05:53,601 --> 00:05:55,061
it's on the A

125
00:05:56,991 --> 00:05:59,181
thumb and then the big jump

126
00:06:01,491 --> 00:06:03,258
and then the slide

127
00:06:03,258 --> 00:06:05,078
I'm using kind of thumb, one, two

128
00:06:05,078 --> 00:06:05,818
and three

129
00:06:05,818 --> 00:06:07,058
it might be a

130
00:06:07,058 --> 00:06:08,258
it might be a strum

131
00:06:08,258 --> 00:06:10,078
it could just be one, two and three

132
00:06:10,078 --> 00:06:11,608
it's hard to hear exactly what

133
00:06:11,608 --> 00:06:12,438
he's doing

134
00:06:13,705 --> 00:06:15,455
I think that it sounds most likely

135
00:06:15,455 --> 00:06:17,175
he's doing thumb, one, two and three

136
00:06:17,175 --> 00:06:18,785
there on the E chord

137
00:06:19,100 --> 00:06:19,880
slowing down

138
00:06:19,890 --> 00:06:21,320
let's look at the whole thing

139
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:22,890
a little bit slower

140
00:06:53,212 --> 00:06:54,252
well, there we have it

141
00:06:54,252 --> 00:06:56,252
that's Rock 'n' Roll Ain't Noise Pollution

142
00:06:56,252 --> 00:06:58,482
by AC/DC, great, great tune

143
00:06:58,482 --> 00:07:00,032
why don't you have a go and see if you

144
00:07:00,032 --> 00:07:01,372
could work out the rest of

145
00:07:01,372 --> 00:07:03,042
the song on your own, it's kind of

146
00:07:03,042 --> 00:07:04,342
an open chordy stuff you know

147
00:07:04,342 --> 00:07:05,942
a little bit more riffs to work out

148
00:07:05,942 --> 00:07:07,472
but, it's a really good practice

149
00:07:07,472 --> 00:07:08,422
to learn stuff using your own ears

150
00:07:08,422 --> 00:07:10,642
and not tabs that you find on the interweb

151
00:07:10,642 --> 00:07:12,522
so, have fun with that and I'll see you

152
00:07:12,522 --> 00:07:13,752
for another riff very soon

153
00:07:13,752 --> 00:07:15,852
take care of yourselves bye, bye
