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!

i know this is on 'real guitar'(lol) but if you capo on 1st fret and play A-E-D your in reggae heaven.

sure one of you cbg masters can work it out

Some good stuff in there for beginners like me, the strumming and picking tips are helpful.

Thanks for the video and tips, very helpful.
