Robin Campbell`s Lead/Reggae Guitar & Ali Campbell`s Rhythm/Reggae Guitar and their Lyrics for
UB40`s 'Watchdogs' single taken from the 1986 album 'Rat In The Kitchen'.
(NOTE):The two Guitars play a different Chord & style for the Verse`s & Saxophone
instrumentals but play the same for the Chorus`s.In the Verse Robin sort of plays
like a ka-chunk-chunk chunk-a-chunk(for lack of a better way to describe it?playing A & Bm
it`s easy to pick out as it`s the dominant Guitar).
Ali play`s a soft staccato chop on the 2nd & 4th beat playing A & D,
(D being the relative major of Robin`s Bm)I`ll leave an example of both together on the intro.
For the Chorus`s they both play in the Reggae style using the same Chords.
