Angus Young | ACDC | Guitar Lesson

Angus Young, is the youngest of eight children of William and Margaret Young. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland and moved with his parents to Sydney, Australia in 1963 with his older brothers Malcolm, George, and Alex, who all became musicians, and their elder sister Margaret. Angus started playing guitar when he was five years old-a childhood friend had one and Angus would play it during visits. Later he would play around with his brother Malcolm’s acoustic guitar.

Angus was 18 when he and his 20 year old brother Malcolm formed AC/DC in 1973 with Angus on lead guitar, Malcolm on rhythm guitar, Colin Burgess on drums, Larry Van Kriedt on bass guitar and Dave Evans on vocals. “Can I Sit Next To You Girl”, their first single, was later re-recorded with Bon Scott as their vocalist. They got the name AC/DC after seeing the letters “AC/DC” on the back of a sewing machine owned by their sister, Margaret. It was his sister that also suggested the trademark school boy uniform that Angus wears on stage. His musical influences include Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, The Rolling Stones and the Who. AC/DC overcame tragedy in 1980 when lead singer Bon Scott died from alcohol poisoning. His replacement, Brian Johnson, fit in perfectly. Shortly after Brain joined the band they released their biggest hit “Back in Black.”

Angus Young has used Gibson SGs in various forms throughout his career (his original, and the basis for his current signature model, was a 1968 SG). Angus has used Ernie Ball Slinky RPS strings for over 40 years, gauge .09 – .42 or .010 – .48. His main amp is a Marshall model 1959 100 watt SLP (Super Lead Plexi…reissued as the SLPX) that includes Marshall 1960 A (angled) and B (straight) 4×12 cabinets with Celestion Greenbacks. His brother Malcolm plays thru a Marshall bass head. Malcolm also plays thru Marshall 1960 A and B cabinets loaded with 4×12″ Celestion Vintage 30′s. Angus has also used Marshall JTM 45 heads in the studio. Most notably on the 1980 hit “Back in Black”. The Marshall JTM 45 amps are mostly used for solos, over-dubs and fills. Young says that he likes the warmer sound.

George Lynch | Lynch Mob-Dokken | Guitar Lesson

George Lynch was born in Spokane, Washington and raised in the small town of Auburn, California. Lynch is known for his common use of the scale he calls the ‘Gothic Octave’. Guitarist Mark Kendall claims George started two hand tapping before Eddie Van Halen. Twice Lynch auditioned for the position of Ozzy Osbourne’s lead guitarist, once in 1979 – losing to Randy Rhoads – and another time in 1982 to replace Brad Gillis. According to Lynch, he was hired for three days before Ozzy changed his mind and decided to go with Jake E. Lee. Lynch came to fame in the 1980s through his work as the lead guitarist in the band Dokken. Dokken had a string of successful platinum albums such as “Under Lock and Key” and “Back for the Attack”, that prominently featured Lynch’s inventive lead guitar work and cemented his reputation as a bonafide guitar hero. The instrumental track “Mr. Scary” on “Back for the Attack” contributed to his popularity among guitar players.

After Dokken George went on to form “Lynch Mob”. In 2003 Lynch formed ‘The George Lynch Group’ in which he has continued to record and regularly tour. The line-up is: George Lynch – Guitars, Andrew Freeman – Vocals, Vinny Appice (Black Sabbath/Dio) – Drums, Marten Andersson (Lizzy Borden/Starwood/Legacy) – Bass. The 2005′s “Furious George” album is a cover album, including classic rock tunes from ZZ Top, Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles, AC/DC, and Led Zeppelin.

Lynch has been an endorser of ESP guitars since 1986. His famed Skull and Bones guitar affectionately named “Mom” is one of the most famous in modern rock, and was designed and hand-crafted by a friend, the neck is by ESP. “Mom” is actually a J Frog guitar but since George was endorsing ESP guitars, an ESP decal was applied to the headstock. Several George Lynch signature guitars have been produced by ESP Japan since then. Lynch is endorsing the hand-crafted Yamaha L-Series Acoustic Guitars.
