Chords for How To Play Southbound by Thin Lizzy On Guitar With Michael Casswell Licklibrary

[D#] Hi everyone, Michael Caswell here and we're going to be [N] taking a look at a track from the 70s
Thin Lizzy's Southbound
Now there's two versions of this track.
There's the recorded version which is
played in pitch
Thin Lizzy were famous for playing live obviously for playing live but tuning their guitars to a pitch down
So they tuned to E-flat
So you've got the the live and dangerous version which is tuned to E-flat and you've got the studio recorded version
So I'm going to play in pitch and be concentrating mainly on that kind of studio recorded version
Although the live version is very very similar in terms of parts and in the solo
an interesting little fact about the live performance of it is that the audience
_ _ Applause is dubbed in they actually played that in the soundcheck and recorded it and decided to put it on the album
But they didn't actually play in the show, which I thought was quite interesting
Anyway, so we got harmony guitars and we got the rhythm guitar underneath it
So before we actually look at the harmony guitars
I'm just going to play the opening rhythm guitar underneath the harmony guitars and the whole track is in the key of a major
So it goes like this the rhythm guitar underneath the harmony guitars
Okay, [A] _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ [F#] _ [D] _ _ [B] _
[A] _ _ _ [B] _ [C#] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [C#] _ [D] _ [C#] _ [B] _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
first chord.
It's a lot of these are just kind of simple power
Root fifth chords, but first chord is an a major chord
I'm only really playing the a string [A#m] and the D string really so it's just like normal kind of power [A] chord a major
[B] Then [C#] _
I'm [B] going up b5 to C sharp 5 really just the a and the D string
[C#] _ [N] Now I kind of hold that usually just because I'm lazy
I usually hold it my little finger, but you might want to hold it with your third [B] finger like [C#] that _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ [C#] _ _
_ [B] back down to the B
[D] So [D#] we've got a little passing tone [D] there
_ This is I'm just playing the root on the C sharp
Up [G#] to a deep kind of power chord.
There's the open D [D] position.
I'm not really [F#m] concentrating on that
top a string [D] just
[C#] So [B] _ [A] _ I'm just coming back down [D] from the D.
[C#] So [B] _ [A] _ that's the four and the two again as we've done going up.
So
_ Slowly for you so you can see in context
_ one two three four
All _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [C#] _ [D] _ _ [C#] _ [B] _ [A] _
_ _ _ [B] _ [C#] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ [C#] _ [D] _ _ [C#] _ [B] _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
right.
So once you've got that part, it's good to know the part that's going underneath the harmony guitars
So let's now look at the harmony guitars _ _ _ _
