Babylon By Bus

chord transcriptions and arrangement by kevin gardner [email protected] Notes This album recorded durring the Wailers 1978 world tour features the guitar sytlings of three great guitarists, namely Junior Marvin, Al Anderson, and of course Bob Marley. On one hand this album is filled with difficult bass/guitar riff sycopation that almost defies transcription. On the other hand the general chord progression of many of the songs are quite simple. What follows are the chords played by Bob throughout the songs. Some songs only have one or two guitar chords, however due to the sycopated riffs of the lead guitars the songs stay musicallly interesting.
