Nice tab. I always just strummed it playing the open chords. But this sounds nice with the capo - the alternating notes are easier to reach.

I seem to remember being in Kingston for Reggae Sunsplash in the late 70's early eighties, but it's a bit foggy. I do remember seeing Marley though. Nick, It was a reggae concert - their usually as foggy as the memory of them 8)]]> Easy Songs kachman https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/stir-it-up-bob-marley/#post-100211 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/stir-it-up-bob-marley/#post-100203 Fri, 29 Apr 2005 22:37:15 +0000
Nice job.

Would any of you reggae fans have the tab for Roots. Rock, Reggae by Bob Marley?

Love to see it posted here.

Thanks,

Also sounds good if there's two of you playing guitar and one of you's playing electric chords an octave higher....

Nice job,

:D :D :D

Here's the lyrics and chords (with capo on 2nd fret). Stir it up, little darling. Stir it up, come on baby. Come on and stir it up, little darling. Stir it up. It's been a long, long time since I've got you On my mind. Now you are here, I said it's so clear; To see what we can do, baby, just me and you. Chorus I'll push the wood, yeah, blaze your fire, Then I'll satisfy your heart's desire. Said, I'll stir it, yeah, every minute. All you got to do, baby, is keep it in it. Chorus Oh, will you quench me when I'm thirsty? Come and cool me down, baby, when I'm hot? Your recipe, darling, is so tasty, And you sure can stir your pot, so... ]]> Easy Songs Tamuka https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/stir-it-up-bob-marley/#post-100109 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/stir-it-up-bob-marley/#post-100071 Thu, 28 Apr 2005 23:28:31 +0000 Easy Songs Nick Torres https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/stir-it-up-bob-marley/#post-100071 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/stir-it-up-bob-marley/#post-100067 Thu, 28 Apr 2005 22:58:58 +0000
Any chance you could post the lyrics and the postion of the chord canges over them.

Amongst other things I am a great reggae fan. (there isnt enough of us) and i think we are a dying breed (LOL) :lol:]]> Easy Songs Rodders https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/stir-it-up-bob-marley/#post-100067 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/stir-it-up-bob-marley/#post-8607 Sat, 23 Apr 2005 03:13:27 +0000
I'm a new member, but long-time GN reader, and this is my first post. Since there's not many reggae songs on this site, I thought I'd chip in with this one. All opinions, suggestions, questions are welcome.
This song is in the key of A and uses just three chords A, D, E (I-IV-V). I play with as if it's in the key of G and place a capo on the 2nd fret to get the original key. This way, I use the chord forms G, C, D, and it's easier to incorporate the bass melody and play a recognizable solo arrangement. Capo 2nd fret Note that I strum just the treble notes to get a closer feel to the original, as well as to isolate the bass later on. If you want you can use the (320033) version of the G chord. G C D E:-|---3-3---3-3---3-3---3-3-|---0-0---0-0---2-2---2-2-|- B:-|---0-0---0-0---0-0---0-0-|---1-1---1-1---3-3---3-3-|- G:-|---0-0---0-0---0-0---0-0-|---0-0---0-0---2-2---2-2-|- D:-|-------------------------|-------------------------|- A:-|-------------------------|-------------------------|- E:-|-------------------------|-------------------------|- 1 & a 2 & a 3 & a 4 & a 1 & a 2 & a 3 & a 4 & a The first two measures are repeated once before the bass kicks in. G C D E:-|---3-3---3-3---3-3---3-3-|---0-0---0-0---2-2---2-2-|- B:-|---0-0---0-0---0-0---0-0-|---1-1---1-1---3-3---3-3-|- G:-|---0-0---0-0---0-0---0-0-|---0-0-0-0-0---x-x-2-2-2-|- D:-|-------------------------|---2---------0-4---------|- A:-|-------2-----3-----2-----|-3-----------------------|- E:-|-3-----------------------|-------------------------|- 1 & a 2 & a 3 & a 4 & a 1 & a 2 & a 3 & a 4 & a You can use barred D chord (x54232)and follow the same pattern played on the preceding C chord if you want. During the verse, the bass melody is different, but it can still fit into the same chord progression.
