    The fact that I have the skills to even attempt to try and learn this. Still amazes me . Never too old to learn.
    I'm happy with my progress. A day and a half watching this over and over progress is good . I'm 😊 happy

      Metronome. Find your baseline tempo where you can play it flawlessly and speed up by 2/3/5 beats. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Use more of the edge of the pick and don't use too much distortion. And Malcom's rhythm is tougher than the main riff.

    OMG, THANK YOU! I think you're the FIRST person I've found on UA-cam that included that inverted D power chord during the main chorus (those open A and D strings you noted). It seems like EVERYONE else tells people to repeat the A power chord and it just sounds wrong. Good job! Also, kudos to Malcom Young for that insane B-chord finger picking that drives this song forward. I can't even do that! It's way easier to do Angus's legato for the entire song.

    So I may have missed it but one thing I didn't see mentioned was that the main single-note riff begins on an open string, which is relevant to the feel / playing it picked or legato. Based on live video I've seen, I think he plays that initial note with an upstroke, but I could be wrong. So it's possible that all of those fretted notes actually land on upstrokes.
