[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
the strumming pattern goes _ down down down down _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] Notice that everyone is on an offbeat.
It's all in the ends
So when we're counting along it would be one and two and three and four and now
Let's try that over the chords from the verse _ _ _
_ _ _ _ one two [G#] three four
[A] So _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [E] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [E] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
in reggae music the guitar player is often playing just the upbeats one and two _ _ _
_ So [F#] he's playing all the ends and not necessarily any of the downbeats and if you're playing not a single downbeat
It's really hard to tell where beat one is.
Usually the rest of the band is doing it
But in this case, we're just playing learning the guitar part.
So we have to kind of provide that ourselves
So what I would recommend doing is muting on the downbeats and I'll show you what I mean
so for instance one two, three four, [C] _ [A] I _ _ _ _ _
Really emphasized it there, but you get the point on beat one.
I smacked the guitar with my hand
I'm muting the strings and you can be as subtle or as aggressive as you want depending on how much percussion you want
So let's just hear that.
I'll do it gently now _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] Now I'll do it a bit more aggressively
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ So you can see that I'm providing that beat to work off of or else you just kind of feel lost in the rhythm _ _ _ _ _
The chorus goes like this
So _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ _
