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.
