Welcome to my guitar lesson and chord sheet of Buffalo Soldier by Bob Marley And The Wailers. Buffalo Soldier was released in 1983 from the posthumous album “Confrontation” where it has since become one of Bob Marley’s most popular songs. The song is in the key of A and has the chords A,F#m, D, C#m and Bm
Why it works on guitar
This song is well suited to intermediate guitarists. It’s built around the chords A,F#m, D, C#m and Bm. It has consistent rhythm with a bit of a swing, making it great for developing timing, endurance and confidence with reggae-style strumming.
In this lesson
We’ll break down the chord progressions used in the song and work on the strumming pattern, focusing on keeping the groove tight and even while locking in with the song’s distinctive rhythmic feel.
