One Love / People Get Ready

"One Love/People Get Ready" by Bob Marley and The Wailers originated as a ska track written by Bob Marley, first recorded for the 1965 debut album The Wailing Wailers. It was later reimagined as a reggae arrangement in the 1970 medley "All in One," showcasing the band's stylistic evolution. For electric guitarists, this song offers a rewarding study in both ska's sharp, offbeat chops and the more laid-back, syncopated rhythms of reggae.

  • The song began as a ska track in 1965, then reappeared as a reggae reworking in 1970, two distinct styles to explore on guitar.
  • Learning this song gives guitarists insight into the signature reggae upstroke rhythm, often played on the offbeat with a clean or lightly effected tone.
  • The 1970 reggae version appeared in a medley called "All in One," also released on the compilation album African Herbsman.

Al Anderson's black beauty delivered thick, warm lead tones with natural sustain for bends and vibrato, thanks to PAF-style humbuckers that provided the rounded character essential to his solos.
