Oops, Rob, I commented here about your Uncle John's Band lesson. Although most of what I wrote still applies to Bob Marley too. Been playing Three Little Birds, so that rhythm is sticking.

Well, like you said, this will take a while. I started with just the intro. It goes pretty well when I play along with you, so thanks for going slowly. The toughest part is making the chord changes in rhythm. My chucks are getting better thanks to a few of your other lessons (Breathe, Ain't Goin' Nowhere). It all just keeps adding up. Wonderful!

I love teaching Bob's stuff. Expect many more Prithvi!

My pleasure Isa, thanks so much for commenting here!

I'm sure some people are having trouble not strumming on the first beat. Glad it's working out for you Pam!

Glad you're enjoying Dawn! Any trouble with the strumming pattern?

Thanks Rob for choosing Bob Marley's Song. Great lesson.

Great lesson :) Thank You

Love the details on the Reggae rhythm and how to add the percussive elements to the strumming. Thanks for slowing it way down and counting so we can really get the idea of what you're doing. Sooo cool!

A great barre chords test, Rob. Thanks for the challenge!
