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.
