Today we are taking a look at 'The Boys Are Back in Town' by Thin Lizzy, a song that is often transcribed incorrectly!
“The Boys Are Back in Town” is easily one of the greatest hard rock hits of all-time. Apart from its immediate commercial success and what it did for the band, the song would forge Thin Lizzy’s legacy as a progenitor of heavy metal, with bands like Metallica, Alice in Chains, Mastodon, and Testament all citing Thin Lizzy as a primary influence!

I've had 4 speeding tickets in my life. Two of them were due to this song, one was due to Sammy Hagar's "I can't drive 55", and the other was because I just gave my Dog a bath and wanted to dry him by going 90 mph with my windows open. The last one actually got me laughed at by the trooper who was also a Dog guy. While I was signing the ticket he was petting my dog.

Best version yet. Used to play this in the early eighties but it was difficult getting the parts off a vinyl record. No Lizzie tabs around those days. No slow down software. You spent 75% of your practise time trying to copy the parts best you could by moving your record back and forth and damaging both the needle and the record..

Hi Jamie. Your playing is fantastic, and your breakdown of the song is pretty much spot on, with the exception of the "middle eight" section. It's not a Dsus4 to D - it's a G chord with the G on the high E string and a D on the B string with the G string open and then to a D. You can clearly hear Philip playing a G on the bass, and playing an A in the Dsus4 chord clashes with the G. To quote yourself "You've Been Playing It Wrong!" I don’t mean to be a pain in the ass, but I've played the song with Thin Lizzy live, and also with Philip as a solo act.

I always played an F#m7sus4 instead of just the F#m7. Same chord except adding your pinky to the 3rd string 4th fret. It's a fuller sound and you'll realize it adds the missing ingredient to the somewhat bland sounding F#m7. I haven't listened to the recording in years, or at least haven't played along with it. It could be that they don't play the sus4 part on every F#m7, but I'm pretty sure they do. Especially when they get to the part where they play the Dsus4 to D triplet riff, where he sings spread the word around, guess who's back in town, then repeats it. The middle part ends on that F#m7sus4 and it's pretty obvious as it stands out. But great video man. Thank you.
@SixStringAlliance
@SixStringAlliance 2 жыл бұрын
On my original Total Accuracy book I wrote it that way, but listening now to the available isolated guitars, one guitar is an F#m7 and the other is an F#5, but he keeps hitting the sus4 every so often. I don’t think it’s intentional but it sounds very cool!

The 3rd in the fill sounds pretty good as the first note as well as the 5th before the last note actually both dont sound that different actually could play different ways and still sounds good. could end on the 6th too and its ok sounding. sounds like a bit of pinch harmonic on 1st note. On the last chord of verse can instead of playing low E drop that 5th to the E in next octave

Very cool lesson! Thanks! One of my alltime favourites. I think we all realize from time to time that we didn´t play something the correct way. Recently I saw a Ernie Ball commercial where Steve Lukather plays his rhythm part of "Beat it". He plays the section with the double stops on the B and G string. I and probably every other player on the planet played the correct notes but on the wrong pair of strings. It definitely makes a difference. Another example is the relatively simple riff in "Hotter than hell" from Kiss. In every transcription I have seen there is that one wrong chord which I always felt was wrong but nevertheless got it right until I saw a video where Paul Stanley showed the way the riff is actually played (the chord is simply a G powerchord on the D and G string over the open A string. I could go on and on.......Never trust a transcription!

@@OliverSutton1962 you said Dm7 is the same as an F 1st inversion which is isn’t. An F major chord and its respective inversions do not contain a D. How ever a 1st inversion of a Dm7 chord contains an F major triad. The common mistake with this song, which is the mistake I made in my original tab book is to play an F major chord, which although harmonically is an inversion of the Dm7, they clearly include the D in the bass of the chord, as well as making use of close voice leading from the D major chord to the Dm7, not shifting up to an F major. Harmonically yes the same notes but not the same context. But again you said Dm7 is the same as the F 1st inversion which it isn’t, F major is the same as the 1st inversion of Dm7, they’re two very different things. F major 1st inversion, A,C,F; Dm7 1st inversion F,A,C,D. The chord in this song against the F bass would be written Dm7/F which is a fist inversion of Dm7, not F/A which is an F major 1st inversion. Maybe you’ve got your terminology mixed up in your originally post.

The reason being, is that once Michael Caswell passed away suddenly, it kind of broke my guitar heart and my playing spirit... I had spent so much time and money on DVDs, internet lessons, and practice, that once a "guitar tutor hero" of mine just went away I lost the joy honestly... Many of those DVDs/Videos/Etc DO include you as a massive part of my collection by the way!!!...(A LOT of those Play Like Floyd DVDs I have are you brother!!!...) You, Caswell, Kilminster, and Danny taught me SO MUCH more than I had ever had over dozens of years of magazines and books...But by this time I am WAY past the "WannaBe guitar God" and just was playing for fun....

The most common mistake is in the second half of the verses, 9 pit of 10 players use f major but the cool missing chord should be d minor 7th ,

I think every book transcribed in the 80's/90s/00s should all be re-transcribed using the best of modern technology and shared thoughts on various fingerings/positions/pick strokes etc. via youtube and other online video sources. Some of the stuff transcribed back then is woefully bad.

Yeah there’s some pretty dire stuff out there. I did round 18 transcription books back in the 90’s for Muisc Sales/Cherry Lane, and they still stand up pretty well. But back then transcribing was very hard. I had an Akai Riff O Matic that would allow me to sample about 10 seconds of a track and slow it down.. how things have changed!!!

Question.... your tab shows standard tuning, but you say its in Eb on the video, which is it? Love it either way, just trying to clarify for myself. Thanks!
@SixStringAlliance
@SixStringAlliance Жыл бұрын
Hi Jeff.. Yeah the song is in Eb tuning.. If that tab says standard, it just means my transcriber didn't change it, but it makes no difference to the tab. You can play it in standard or Eb, depending on situations. I did it standard for Lick Library. Jamie

It’s still not clear to us simpletons where in the bar you’re playing the power chord s. From my calculation you’re hitting the mute chord on the 1 beat and the power chord in the “1 and” beat?

That’s correct! The chords are on the “off” beat, and are pushed

Oh well.. I find comment like this intriguing.. a guitar tone is subjective, to say it’s terrible is pretty inaccurate and slightly arrogant. Is it the correct tone? No. Is it a free KZfaq video? Yes. And yes the G and B on a Les Paul are very hard to tune perfectly. I’m the main tutor on the Gibson app and come across this a lot. Also with SG’s, which are even more unstable. Either get it in tune open, or tune it to a chord. But again it’s a free KZfaq video. I normally don’t reply to comments like this, but you caught me on a day when I find opinions as annoying as my out of tune G and B strings.

@@stevecharlton145no worries.. I’ve had a lot of tuning comments. I’m not really a Gibson player outside of doing the Gibson app. I struggle with the intonation of the Les Paul, it’s a great guitar but a pig to get in tune in different positions. When I record with it I end up retuning to chords depending on position I play in 🤣 I’m a Music Man user mainly. But yeah I appreciate the tone wasn’t correct, it was more about correcting my old book I transcribed. Sometimes it can be a bit of a blow when you put a lot of hours producing a lesson and comments can be a little too negative, especially when you consider the hours of work it takes to produce something like this, all good tho
