• Song:

    Redempition Song

  • Artist:

    Bob Marley

First Tab I have done, most of the tabs i have seen on here are pretty
accurate but I added some tweaks of my own in the song, removed G/B for 
beginners purpose and also added the guitar slides as heard on the Bob
Marley original version of the song. Also for more ring replace G with 
extended G by fretting the 3rd fret on the B string while keeping the 
same chord structure as standard G.

Unlike most of Bob Marley's songs this song uses a more standard strum 
pattern instead of the Reggae strum, so this song is perfect if your 
just learning guitar and like decent music.

Any feed back email me at SeanPatrickHenry@live.co.uk
