Notes

Studio recording, 1980 (Uprising album). Bob Marley was known to use a Yamaha SG1000 through a Roland JC-120 for clean reggae rhythm in the late 1970s and 1980. No evidence of pedal use for the riff section; amp reverb likely used. No evidence of live/touring substitutions for the studio recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, syncopated rhythm and precise muting, but is not technically demanding in terms of speed or complex chord shapes.
