Orchestra Baobab - Signed To World Circuit Records http://www.worldcircuit.co.uk/#Orchestra_Baobab
Orchestra Baobab are great, and their guitar playing is spectacular. Fiddle around with
EQ until you get that clean African sound. Listen to the track to get the rhythms right
in the solo)!
RHYTHM GUITAR:
Main chord sequence: Dm Am E Am all the way through, with a bar (measure) per chord.
Dm: x57765
Am: 577555
E: x79997
The strumming is very rhythmic, off the beat, like a sped up reggae rhythm.
There is also a little bridge, where you just slam on the Dm Chord twice. Have a listen.
