AC/DC Guitar Signature Licks is a focused electric guitar songbook for intermediate players who want to master the driving rhythm and searing lead style of AC/DC’s Angus and Malcolm Young. This instructional guide breaks down the riffs, solos, and signature techniques that define the band’s legendary rock sound, making it ideal for self-study, private lessons, or structured practice sessions at home or in the studio.

The book features detailed guitar tablature with standard notation, offering clear, playable transcriptions of twelve essential songs. Each example is paired with online audio accessed via a unique code inside the book.

The step-by-step breakdowns make classic rock techniques accessible while keeping practice engaging through instantly recognizable material.
