# The Best AC/DC Guitar Solos > The 18 best AC/DC guitar solos, ranked. #1 is Let There Be Rock (1977), then Highway to Hell and Back in Black. Every video starts at the solo. Canonical URL: Angus Young turned the blues-rock solo into pure adrenaline, pairing Chuck Berry duckwalk energy with fast, vocal-like vibrato from his Gibson SG. Over Malcolm Young's rhythm guitar, his leads became some of the best-known solos in rock, loose and feral but always catchy enough to hum.
