Download the TAB and jam track here.

Hi fam,

I’m happy to kick off the next era of the Guitar Fam YouTube channel and website with the first of many famous guitar solo videos.

I’ve always loved the solo on the Bob Marley song “No Woman, No Cry” and figured this would be a fun place to start. Al Anderson (Bob Marley’s Guitar Player) did an awesome job with the live execution of the solo, and it’s a perfect lead for working on your major pentatonic scale licks.

My goal with these videos is not only to teach you the solos but also the nuts and bolts of how they work so you can use the ideas you learn in your solos and improv.

You can watch the video by clicking the button below. Of course, we have the jam track and TAB for you to download on the Guitar Fam site.

Have a great day,
Nate

If you are having trouble with any area of playing the guitar, book a private video lesson with me. The first one is complimentary, so there is no risk.
-
If you haven't signed up for the full complimentary Guitar Foundations course, do that here. It makes for a much more cohesive experience.

Purchase a copy of the Guitar Foundations EBook too. It's a perfect companion for the videos and it will help you progress faster.

Thank you so much, Nate. I've been seeing your videos for a while. Always fabulous teaching, very much appreciated 👌

[stevem]

Thank you so much. Tabs, theory, visuals. Perfect

Thanks SO much for this ! I''ve been playing this song forever with my own solo concoction, but I've always known it wasn't accurate. But because of what I can do with the chords in the 1st position, I prefer to play this song in C, rather than C# ( meaning that I start the solo one fret lower down the neck. ) This solo is just about perfect, with so many exquisite melodics hooks ... I just love it.

Another GREAT lesson... Cool Runnin'😊!

Hey Nate, love the idea of doing tutorials for classic guitar solos and your approach to them. New Ibanez is looking and sounding great too! :)

Solid lesson! I’m just moving it a half step down so its C rather than C sharp. Makes more sense to me

[AlexisLardenois]

Awesome cover Dude. How did you do to get this phaser/Flanger sound. It's probably the closest from the original i've heard. Great job.

[chrisorourke]

Is there somewhere I can get this tab? Your playing sounded great and cool looking guitar.

[vinnypowa]

Great lesson man, but im a bit confused.. All the lessons for the song are in C, but the solo lessons are in C# (i think). What gives?? thanks

[Peter-emwl]

Did Bob play this in C#? your version is all C# to confirm?

[anthonymaina]

Is this soloing on the original chords C G Am and F?
