Redemption Song -Bob Marley

This song might be from Bob Marley, but it’s not a reggae song as you might believe. It’s just a rock type ballad.

It’s in the key of G and uses only simple open chords.

Introduction

The intro is kind of like adding a little phrase that’s built around a G chord.

18 And Life- Skid Row

Skid Row was one of the last hair metal bands to hit the mainstream before grunge took over in the early ’90s. They were also arguably the last of such bands to have any originality. Their self-titled release used standard metal riffs and simple lyrics, but they broke away from the pop-metal that was going on with thrashy guitars and variances of ’80s metal formats. Their personal differences broke them apart in 1996, and Sebastian Bach went to work on acting, with little success.

Verse Riff

The first three measures really don’t show much difference. The first measure has a hammer-on in it. A hammer-on is when you go from a lower note to a higher note, striking only the first note. Notice that at the top of the measures, chords are shown. The first three measures show the C#m chord and the B chord. All notes should be left ringing.
