Easy Reggae Riffs
Just to get you started folks, heres an easy riff that will get you playing about half the good reggae tunes ever written!!
Chord progression is C / G / Am / F
It sounds great if you play fretted and can shape the chords.
If you play fretless, try dropping the minor by not playing the top (thinnest) string - its quite passable.
Play around with this progression and you will easily find No Woman No Cry and loads of others.
Post your vids in the group when youve found a new one!
