The harmonies on Wild One are fucking mesmerizing

Greatest band ever.,..70 now still listening to em ...their still the best to me ..,

I love Thin Lizzy, they’re almost never mentioned on best classic rock band lists.

Robbo is easily one the greatest, and most overlooked guitarists ever. That man has blues chops for days and tasty soulful licks. Although, I do have the Black Rose tattoo

YES ROSS! 🙌🙌🙌🎸🎸🎸

Thin Lizzy definitely has some of the most profound harmonies indeed! I don't think we'll ever see something of that caliber again, and great work as always!

Loved watching Lizzy on Top of the Pops. Remember seeing them playing Cardiff Castle back in the 70's great band.

I saw Thin Lizzy in Brisbane in the late 70s They blacked out the stage, filled it with smoke and several coloured pinspots focused on the mirror pickguard on Phil Lynotts bass, bouncing back in an incredible aura. Best live gig I've ever been too!

The first band that Thin Lizzy saw when they came to London (with Eric Bell on guitar) was Wishbone Ash - bass player/singer, flanked by twin lead guitar players ...

Lizzy were THE band for me in the 70s. Live and Dangerous brilliant live album but nothing beat seeing them live !!

Awesome breakdown, analysis and presentation. Top notch work on the video editing too. You've done a great band proud mate. No pointless rambling on trying to prove you know something. Just great content from start to finish. 😊😊😊

Mind Blown on how they Harmonized it live

Those are some sharp ears you have, sir. Great video, and unlike most people I hear trying to play Thin Lizzy songs, you've got a really good Lizzy feel to your playing. This is going in my bookmarks for repeat viewing.

Great job pal. And I see your video quality & editing features are really developing and creative. You nailed that outro. You're too young to have seen them but I remember when the band was at its peak. They just blew everybody away live. Some pals of mine worked with them. Cool video. Hope you're well pal. 😉 J.

I wanna get into more Thin Lizzy but I tried the Jailbreak album and can’t stop listening to that long enough to try another one of their albums

This is so cool. Thin Lizzy is one of my all time favorite bands. I can tell you take some pride in your local mates doing good. Well you're going to have to move over because Scott Gorham is from my hometown of North Hollywood California. We don't have anything as cool as a statue of Phil but we still take part ownership of Lizzy being a legendary band. Thanks Ross!

Hello Ross, Like you I've always been and will be a huge Lizzy fan, if these songs were to come out today they would still be just as good and iconic. Thanks for taking the time ,money and effort to produce your videos, I subscribe to your channel and I'm working my way through Bulletproof part 1 (Highly recommended). Having watched the video and applied the knowledge I now have a better understanding. This type of video definitely works for me. Thanks once again Ross

Despite Phil Lynott & Midge Ure being friends, Lizzy were not invited to play Live Aid. Ure said in a concert I was at that, it simply slipped his mind to invite them. Phil Lynott was the best showman I ever saw. The guitar work is timeless.

Good work! My favourite Lizzy song with these kind of harmonic patterns is "For Those Who Love To Live" from the 1975 album "Fighting"

Thin Lizzy was huge and those harmonies were great, fantastic Job Ross

Thin lizzy were a class act

I remember Waiting for an alibi being released and I was absolutely obsessed with it

*The “Thin Lizzy” aspect of harmony guitars is so beautiful man* *The Night and the Silent Water from Opeth is such a dark melodic masterpiece* *If it wasn’t for Thin Lizzy, Wishbone Ash, we wudnt have Iron Maiden, Opeth and a bunch of Swedish death metal bands, or even Queen and Brian May and his style of playing a counter melody to his own playing*

Wow. Top content, top production. The outro to Waiting gave me goosebumps there, man. Excellent video.

Great work, reminds me of how wonderful that Lizzy were. I was fortunate enough to see them on both Jailbreak and Johnny the Fox tours, where they were stunning. Thank you for the great insight into how these brilliant harmonies were put together!

Goddamn do I love Thin Lizzy. Great video!!!

This is the best video explaining the Thin Lizzy sound. You nailed it. Good job man, you're phenomenal

Scott reckons they stumbled on guitar harmonies by accident in the studio.....Allman Bros.,Wishbone Ash,Queen,Uriah Heep....yeah sure ya did Soott...sure ya did😮

Awesome work and analysis! Love thin lizzy since 39 years!

Great stuff Ross , not just the playing but the vision mixing is exceptional !

Man, the ideas I have going through my head now for my own stuff!... Thanks for this Ross... Enjoy your stuff quite a bit

Really a cool breakdown here. Thank you very much! ❤

A great video Ross. You did a sound job of that. I wish we had this sort of tuition when I was playing Lizzy stuff in the early 80's. It was hard getting hold of the lead guitar notes. We had all the great bands but not the tabs. Now we have all of the tabs but not the bands 😀

Yep those were the days, going to Thin Lizzy at the cork city hall. Towards the end, it was sad I remember going to cork city hall and it was almost empty for them (only a few hundred people). They still put on a great show, fortunately or unfortunately I bumped in Phil afterwards being carried to his transport, he was completely zonked out. Typical Phil still managed to say "Hello lads, all the best in the future" in his dub accent,t he was such a nice man. I knew it was drugs at the time but never thought it was heroin, it was probably the beginning of the end for the band. We all dream of being in bands when we were teens and all the lifestyle etc, but it looks like it is not all it is cracked up to be, especially when through bad luck you dont really get to the level you deserve. I will always have fond memories of their shows when they were at their peak, they deserved so much more recognition.

Excellent analysis and video!

My wife and I were blessed to have seen Thin Lizzy twice. Harmonic lead guitar playing was a really innovative breakthrough. The precision was astonishing. All beginner guitarists... learn scales, modes and then intervals. Big Six String Chords are not the best place to start. I wish to goodness I had known that fifty years ago! When you get into a band, split the notes of the chord between the instruments. Don’t have everybody hammering all the notes of every chord at the same time.

Tremendous tribute Ross! Do you mind sharing how you got these spot on guitar tones? Thank you!

Great stuff! My favourite band of all time.

See them three times 82-83 on a good day they were a cut above anyone else at that time and the black rose and Robbo eras they were in s class of their own the Johnny the fox tour they would have been at their peak I think you should do a few more of these will other bands as well keep up the good work mate 👍👍

Beautiful playing Ross.

I read all the books on the market about Phil and Lizzy a few years back and, from memory, The Boys are Back in Town almost didn't make it onto the album! They were looking down the list of tracks they'd recorded, deciding on the final selection, when someone walked in, pointed to that title and asked: 'What's this one?' So they played it, he loved it and that swung it. Sometimes we can be so close to what we've just created, that we don't know how to assess it.

Cool lesson. Good to see you back here. Don’t know if that high hat or track in the background is there to help you cut things in and out but it’s a little less than pleasant when the listener is trying to focus on what you’re saying. Glad you’re back producing content again. It’s a great channel.

Think i like it better with 2 harmonys all the way thru . Mayb 3 on the out but 5 almost muddy. Thin Lizzy as a band ? Yes sir, all day long.

Ross, I'm amazed at your ability to deconstruct the track. Well done.

What a fantastic vid !!

fantastic very, very, very usefull for me

fabulous job many thanks

Hey this video is great! Cool explanation. I have a question though, I am an intermediate guitar player practicing alone. Is that a pedal or device where I can get that Harmony effect? Stay safe out there!

Wow man, I just wanted to learn some lizzy chops, I'm a big Sykes fan and LOVE Thunder n Lightning, BUT the solo I'm most interested overall is actually She knows from Nightlife.. I need to crack that noodle! :D

My favorite band!

The boys are back in tone!

I ve played this song in a three piece band the main riff harmonies in between the verses i played two strings in 5ths and 3rds i believe the end harmonies i would play like that two strings together after the first go around i would go up the neck doing each harmony part as a single line..its a little tricky to do three piece and make it work.

If you grew up in Ireland/Uk your dad was almost certainly a thin lizzy fan, therefore you grew up being a thin lizzy fan.. There's also a very good chance that if you played guitar thin lizzy were more than likely a big influence on your playing too. Thanks for this Video Ross, I'm only disappointed that I'm seeing it for the first time 4 years after you posted it. Could you do some more thin lizzy stuff?

Phil Lynott (LIE NOT!!!!) NOT LYNN IT !!!!! I met his my Mother in 1999 and she said LIE NOT and so did Phil!! You'll always hear Phil say, LIE NOT!! Great tribute and lesson! ;)

Great guitar harmonies......

great video man. love those lizzy sounds. good way to start the day...

Fantastic

Live and dangerous is for me the very best Live Album,.... Thin Lizzy was amazing

Let's try this again!

great job sounded great...

Nice lesson Ross, and i did stand beside Phil in Dublin & got the pic. lol from Belfast

What is the D'Angelico model in the background? lol I noticed the headstock I have a Mini DC AND LOVE IT! BEST Guitar I've ever played : )

Bands playing live with prerecorded tracks was actually quite common in the 70s. The best examples I can think of are the Who (Won't Get Fooled Again and many others) and Queen (middle part of Bohemian Rhapsody). I used to hear it all the time from older musicians that playing with prerecorded tracks was "cheating".

Great job with the tones and feel Ross! I sadly only know The Boys Are Back In Town from them but it seems like I've been really missing out. Should have listened to my friend in college who told me they were awesome. I'll have to remedy this situation :-)

Me: I need some new guitars Ross: Yes My wife:

Nice one, Ross! I have the same photo of me with Phil :)

Thank you Ross!!

Great analysis mate, well done.

Excellent!

Great lesson to be learned! What interval is between the guitars, a 5th?

Listen to Wishbone Ash. ... for really good harmony guitars.

Just curious: Could the studio version be done today with a digital delay pedal live? And what technique would Thin Lizzy (and their numerous tribute bands) use today to get that thick thick heavenly studio sound?

How did you get that bass tone? It was spot on

Hi, could i ask please for guitar tabs for bad habits if possible, thanks

Please do Dickie Betts/Duane Allman

Great stuff man

Mortal man!!

Dobra robota uwielbiam te harmonię Thin Lizzy

FANTASTIC :-)

Wishbone ash, also fab harmonies, vas dis??

No disrespect to any of the other players - obviously, if they weren’t great they wouldn’t have been in TL , but Scott Gorham never left while Phil was alive. So, SG is the common denominator throughout

You're right on the money here. I know that as a fact.

Ok thanks but how do you find the thirds?

@Ross Campbell How is your hand doing?

I am the only guitar player in my band.... A flat, harmonizer pedal set to a third, move up every 4 bars

Interesting camera effect. Is this new?

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😎🇬🇷🎸🎼👍✌

Q: Why did they record five parts on The Boys are Back in Town? A: Because they fucking can! I think the only band who do guitar harmonies better are Queen, and that's only because I've deluded myself into thinking that Brian May can record three-part harmony in a single take (please, nobody shatter my illusions)

Nice lesson as always Ross. But i can't get over the fact that you didn.t have a guitarpick with you. Even a hack like me never leaves home without a guitarpick... Shame on you!!! :) ;)

You are a young teenager lol 😂
