In this video take a look at the rhythm guitar style and tone of rock and roll rhythm guitar legend Malcolm Young. Malcolm was the powerhouse behind the driving rock riffs of AC/DC. In this video I break down his gear of choice, dial in some Malcolm style tones with other gear and talk about his playing style via 5 classic AC/DC riffs and some tips and tricks to get some of his style into your playing.

In the video I am playing a Gretsch G5222 guitar which is plugged into a Kool Amplification 11 which is a 70s style Plexi amp. The amp is running into the Two Notes Captor X running an IR of a vintage 412. The drive comes from the J Rockett 45 Caliber which is a JTM45 style drive pedal based on the Malcolm Young crunch tone.
