When playing through the pre-chorus and chorus of “Touch Too Much” (see sections C and D in the transcription), you’ll notice that guitarists Angus and Malcolm Young will often strum two or more open strings just before changing chords (as in bar 14, for example). Using open strings in this way—playing what may be called the “all-purpose passing chord”—buys you valuable extra time to move your fretting fingers to the next chord in a progression without having to jump to it in the blink of an eye.
