POST # 125 Angus Young on Recording Solos

George would sit with me and we sould do solos: I would tell George, “I’ll work out a bit for these sections,” and George would go, “No, just go. F*** the bum notes if it’s cookin’.” George was looking for energy, for the nice surprise. With Mutt, the operative was more to put it into a structure and keep it neat, so he’d keep going at you until it was right. Sometimes , though, it was a useless exercise. He’d run off a few tracks with different ideas, and then he would come to you and say, “Well, what were you playing in the beginning? Let’s go back to that.” [laughs]. - Angus Young

( I think the best solos have a flowing kind of quality to them, even if its planned out before hand and sometimes little mistakes in them actually makes it bit endearing. Angus takes no prisoners in Jail Break. - Ed)
