About this riff
The main riff is built around simple open-position power chords and a bright A5-D/F#-G movement, making it one of the most accessible classic-rock riffs to learn. The real challenge is in the feel: nailing the staccato, palm-muted attack and the swaggering push-pull timing that gives it that unmistakable AC/DC groove. It's an ideal riff for practicing tight rhythm control and clean chord changes rather than raw speed.
Did you know?
The title didn't come from anything satanic — when Angus Young was asked to describe the band's exhausting 1978 tour, he replied that it was 'a highway to hell,' and the phrase stuck. Malcolm Young came up with the staccato riff early in 1979 and immediately knew it was special, later saying it 'stuck out like a dog's balls' among the hundreds of riffs the band was cranking out. The song was recorded in London in March–April 1979 under producer Robert John 'Mutt' Lange and became the album that finally broke AC/DC in America.
