Ranked: Best Guitarists of All-Time

Angus Young

Even though Angus Young did not view himself as a soloist, his manic guitar playing created excitement that made him a leading blues-rock player. Often compared to his brother Malcolm, Angus Young created high speed runs that began to dominate rock music. His sounds in “Back in Black” and “Highway to Hell” have long since tattooed their mark on history, even for those not interested in rock. His playing was only amplified by his strong persona, creating an all over rock and roll musical experience.
