What chords do acdc use?

ACDC are famous for their signature heavy metal sound. It is hard to describe their music using just one category. They are a genre hybrid of hard rock, blues and even jazz at times.

Their chord progressions are usually blues based. They like heavy use of power chords, or regular barre chords distorted heavily. Sometimes they use a lot of suspended chords. This means they play a chord using the root and a chord tone with an extra note usually one step above the root or one or more steps above the first one. Some examples are:

-E7sus4=E-G#-B-D

-Csus2=C-E-F
