  • what bass is that?:O epiphone ripper?

    or aibanez copy somthing?:O

  • Nope, it's a real Gibson Ripper from 1976 or thereabouts.

  • amazing... can u sand me your tab?

  • Sorry, I don't have any tabs for this, I just learned it by ear... there are lots of tabs for this song online though, and they're all pretty close I think.

  • Band practice last night and we decided we wanted to play "boys are back" and "rosalie" so guess what I will be doing tonight ??

  • Cool... Rosalie is a fun tune too. If you decide to use this video to learn the song, bear in mind it's not exactly how Phil plays it, but I think it sounds good with the rest of the song.

  • mate you nailed this, awesome, very inspiring stuff!!!

  • Rock In Peace Gary Moore :'(

  • @CoolEditz I made a cover of the song on my page, trying to figure it out. Not really sure if i played E or B since i don't know any scales, and had just picked up the bass the day before i recorded that video.

  • @jpdgmpdmpdmpdm The progression is A Ab D F# C# F# B E - A Ab D F E F B E. The E may actually sound like it should be a D, but that's because the guitars are playing a suspended 4th over the 5th. He's really playing the wrong progression in this video. The rest of the improv is mostly diatonic walking.

  • Can someone figure out the tabs for the verse? Can't get 'em right :(

  • Awesome cover. I really love your tone. Loved Thin Lizzy since I was 14!

  • Love the tone you got on that! :)

  • you're fantastic!
