Description
Guitar 1 plays the chorus chord progression on the upbeats using barre chord shapes. The progression is Bm, G, A. Note your strums really emphasize the upbeats, and this is what gives that unmistakeable reggae feel. The role of this guitar is to provide steady support to the overall groove.
Watch out for a variation in the timing when you go to that last A chord in the progression; this changes every time you are going into a new section of the arrangement. Also note the chromatic passing chord added into the progression during the outro. This supports the vocal melody and gives a cool flavor to the tune.
