Welcome to my guitar lesson and chord sheet of Chase The Devil by Maz Romeo. Chase The Devil was released in 1976 on the album War Ina Babylon, with the backing of The Upsetters, Lee Scratch Perry’s band. The song is a classic roots reggae track with a memorable groove and spiritually themed lyrics that reflect the Rastafarian influence of the era.
Why it works on guitar
This song is suitable for beginner to intermediate players. It uses the chords Am, Em and Dm and a steady reggae rhythm, making it ideal for practising timing, clean chord changes and off-beat strumming.
In this lesson
We’ll explore the chord progressions used in the song and focus on the strumming pattern, paying attention to keeping the groove tight and controlled while maintaining the song’s hypnotic, rhythmic feel.
