Bob Marley - How to Play War - Bass Cover and Bass Lesson

Hey Now! #basslessons #basscover #bobmarley

I am teaching you how to play an amazing Reggae song by the Legend: Bob Marley. The first Reggae artist I ever heard and still my favorite to this day. The song War has an amazing groove and a very profound message.

Towards the end of my explaination you will see a Flow chart of sorts that will tell you which parts to play when. I would suggest just screenshotting that and following along to be able to play this song more easily.

It's relatively simple and not too hard to play if I did a good job of explaining it. Which I believe i did.

YouTube is an amazing resource for music lessons. One of the best! also courses are incredibly helpful as well. There is no substitute for one on one lessons though. Either online or in person. I teach lessons online and would be happy to help you or would encourage you to reach out to someone in your community. Invest in yourself so you can really elevate your playing and better understand all of the amazing free content there is on YouTube.
