Thunderstruck
Thunderstruck opens with Angus Young's iconic tapping intro on the B string, creating a rapid-fire pattern that sounds like lightning. His SG through a cranked Marshall produces a bright, cutting tone with enough gain for the tapped notes to ring out clearly. The tone is raw and aggressive with the SG's bridge humbucker providing a sharp, biting attack that cuts through the mix.
