      Please tell you're mom I have always loved this song. I first heard it in a skateboarding video from the 90's. Pro skateboarder and later celebrated street-ware designer (invented weed socks) Keith Hufnagel (rip) skated to it. Great song.

    I fricken' love this song. Never thought I'd get to watch a guitarist hear it for the first song and figure it out/teach it to me. The things you stumble into on youtube! thanks!

      FWIW, you're speaking at like a 500 level music theory. As a casual guitar player 80%+ of what you're talking about is going right over my head. It would be great to break down some of the concepts youre referring to and explain what you're talking about with modes and 5ths and 3rds and things. It would also be super helpful if you slow down and play the riffs slowly, or zoom in on your left hand to show the chords/notes more clearly.

    Boom! So glad you did some reggae. Check out Mortimer "lightning". Nice song with some unique guitar for the genre that has a slight country feel.

    This is based on (cover?) Alton "The Godfather of Rocksteady" Ellis "I'm Still In Love With You", made even more popular (to those who listen to this stuff) by Marcia Aitken. Nice hangover video. Got a chuckle out of the thought of going to a game now.

    I think this is the first really good guitarist I've heard admitting they like reggae (apart from Keef Richards). I feel......acceptance. 😂

    upper extensions, quite jazzy, 9th , 7th, 5th, then then 3rd ,6th, maj 7th, root , implying minor 9th and maj 7th chords but yeah probably just thought it sounded good.

    This is the same rythm of Alton Ellis - Im Still in Love. Sean Paul did a cover of this song. Check them out
