...it’s the way he plays rhythm – it’s got that distinct sound, especially with that Gretsch [Firebird]. I’ve tried to emulate his rhythm style myself, at home, with one of his guitars, and it’s no easy task. He’s got those big thick strings on it, like tram tracks, you know? It’s all in his little wrist…….he’s at the point where they’re not making that gauge any more, since the youth want them lighter and lighter. These days, you see, they all want to run from one end of the fretboard to the other. They want to practice scales. I mean, that’s all very good, so long as they do it at home. - Angus Young
