Hey guys, Party Marty here, Easy Guitar Tunes.
I've got another really cool tune for you guys to play.
It's actually been requested a bunch of times.
It's kind of my acoustic spin on an ACDC tune.
I'll tell you, I like playing these ACDC songs on acoustic guitar, especially in a solo situation,
because people don't expect them.
And this is another real fun tune to play.
So pretty basic ACDC tunes there.
I have three chord.
This one here is a particular three chord tune, so it would be A.
There's also a G.
[G] And there's [D] a D.
[A] Again, A,
[G] G,
[D] and D.
You'll notice I play the A with two fingers.
I'm still covering [E] three strings.
It's just my fingers are a little chubbier, so I can [A] use two fingers.
Cover three and I find it works better for me.
If you have any [C#] problems with the chords,
or you need help in any way, just go into my info in this video.
You can go to the chord link and it'll take you to any chord you want to go to.
Or any key, anyway.
So the strum.
The strum is kind of cool.
I don't like to get too hung up on strums, but this is a very unique sounding song.
So I wanted to make sure you guys knew what I was doing.
So I always suspend on the verses.
I'll suspend the A.
What that means is you're in one strum,
you're [C#m] lifting off and then putting back on.
Some people [F#] call it a hammer on.
[A] [A] So on one bounce drum, you're lifting up and putting them back down.
This is just the way I [B] do it.
You can just strum through these chords if you [N] like.
There's also a bit of a slap strum that I do.
It kind of gives it a bit of a drum beat.
Again, just a little tool that I use, but I wanted to explain to you guys what it was.
A little better explanation would be in my info.
You can click on the strum, the slap strum link there, and it'll tell you a little more.
Basically what I'm doing on the fourth down strum,
I'm brushing the strings with the tip of the pick,
and I'm also stopping the tone with [B] kind of the chubby part of my hand.
So it's kind [A] of like
[A] So I'm giving it two brushes down, then a [F#] brush up, and then the A suspended.
I'll slow that down a little bit.
Can you see how it's got that kind of unique sound?
Now you can definitely
You can definitely [N] strum through those until you find a strum that you're comfortable with.
You can strum the regular chords of this as well.
So practice those chords, and then practice the strum that you like,
and then join us for the tunes.
Long Way to the Top by ACDC.
Let's [A] give this one a go.
Riding down the highway
[A]
Going through the show
Stopping on the byway
Play you right the road
Getting robbed, getting stoned
Turn your feet up, roll the phone
Getting high, drunk
I bet you people, it's hotter than the roast
But it's a long way to the top
When you wanna ride and roll
Yes, it's a long way to the top
When you wanna ride and roll
You think it's easy doing one-night stands
[D] But try playing in a rock-and-roll band

Getting old, getting gray
Getting ripped off, on the pay
Getting sold, secondhand
That's how it goes
Playing in a band
It's a long way to the top
When you wanna ride and roll
Yes, it's a long way to the top
When you wanna ride and roll
