Me And My Guitar: Thin Lizzy

Scott Gorham on his battle-worn 1959 Gibson Les Paul

[hmk]

Scott and Robbo were the best one two punch lead guitar combo in rock history.

[elflakeador]

One of the most underrated guitar players of all time, Scott is pure class 😎👍

"Can't remember when i bought the guitar. i was probably too high!" Scott is still a legend.

[LordByron]

Scott, as much as I love Gary Moore, you don’t get enough credit for all your effort in Thin Lizzy. You were the backbone of the guitar section. 😇

[danieldoyle]

How Thin Lizzy are not in the rock and roll hall of fame is incredible 👏 🙌.

[DaveFallows]

One the coolest guys on the planet. So privileged to have met Scott back in 2005 at the One Night in Dublin "Gary Moore Show" event, along with Brian Robertson.

Absolute gentlemen, both of them.

[chrisbarlow]

One of THE most melodic guitarists ever recorded. He devised solo's milkmen can whistle!

[varsitycamplife]

That is a piece of rock and roll history, Scott. It belongs to the world. Give it to me for safe keeping and I promise to take care of it for the rest of humanity.

That man has been such an influence and inspiration to me, since I was just hitting double digits, and that very guitar has audibly assaulted these ear drums for countless hours in my life. Scott, thank you, and don't ever part ways with that cherished piece of wood. It's irreplaceable.

Met the guy twice in Finland -98 and 2000something and both times a real gentleman. He just wanted to chat with us and the first time the concert place promoter told us that he have to close the place but Scott keep talking with us. And second time road manager told they have to leave to second concertplace (it was around two in the morning) but Scott was not in a hurry. Truly Great Man!!!!

Cool story. Great player. I wish him well and thank him for the music.

[andrewwilliams]

Scott is like an old reliable rockstar he’s done it! Wore the T_ shirt a legend.

[jennygw]

Great memories of seeing you with Lizzy in the early 80s.
Happens to be the guitar I play now, same top.

[Mickcotton]

Glendale High School. I lived across the street. Scott is A Massive Excellent Guitar Player And A Great Person. 😇 Cheers

Scott Gorham was Phil Lynott’s right hand man. He was with Thin Lizzy for a long time. Co-wrote songs with the band. Had great solos, harmonized well with every guitar player that came in Thin Lizzy. Personally for me he kept up with the other great guitar players like Brian Robertson, Gary Moore, John Sykes etc. Beautiful Guitar. 👍

[johnchristiananderson]

Love Scotts playing, followed Lizzy for years.I built Scotts amps when I worked for Burman Sound Equipment in Newcastle, he used them at Rockpalast and other gigs.

[davidfox]

Scott great character
Great stories
Super player
What a guy

[michaelthornburg]

I think some of the absolute best Scott Gorham solos are on the Bad Reputation album. Robertson played on a couple of songs on the album but was not much part of the band by then band by then. Gorham handled most of the guitar parts single handedly. I think in my opinion is their best album. I do miss Thin Lizzy.

Man I would love to meet Scott and tell him how much he’s done for me and just have a cool chat. Amazing musician and person.

[rossmiller]

I have always associated him with the cherry sunburst standard with the mini humbuckers. But I agree with many of the other posts, very underrated. Always enhanced the other players he was with .
