Reggae Bass Tips 2: Devon "Pattihead" Bradshaw
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 фев 2025
- Our second Reggae Bass Master Class with Devon. This time he shows us how we can create different tensions by playing slightly in front or behind the beat. Using one simple groove - Bob Marley's "Running Away" ( Bass: Aston "Family Man" Barrett ) we learn about relaxed finger techniques and the use of octaves. These tips are for both advanced or beginners on bass or any other instrument. Fundamental lessons on Real Roots expression.
Drums: Donavan " Puss " Miller
Produced by: Reggae in the Ruff . Nonsuch . Portland . Jamaica
it's the best video on reggae bass! so few people pay real attention to the vibe movement - synchronized, pushed forward or "laid back" behind the rhythm! Thenk yuh, Mr.Bradshaw!
Yeah, that's so right!
Appreciate I'm coming to this late (over 5 years after it was published), but this is magic. The rhythmic subtlety is astonishing. It all appears so simple, but it's anything but. Devon is a master musician. Thanks so much for this.
Always find myself coming back when I’m feeling inspired to play some reggae bass. Devon plays so effortlessly and the sound is very mellow. Excellent stuff 👍🏻
We need more videos of reggae school.
Respect, man.
I love bass, i love reggae ; love this lesson
Haven't heard this bassline in years - love the groove "behind" the beat. We need more classes!
Thanks so much for taking the time to share this with us...it's wonderful and so helpful. Jah Bless
Man, I could just to these two guys groove forever. So effortless how they play, masters of their craft!
This is the real deal!!! Thank you for sharing the music and the love!
Much respect Mr. Bradshaw....thank you for posting this excellent teaching video.
Thank you for these videos. I started learning reggae bass back in June and have found these videos a great help. I think Devon and Donovan make an awesome team. I hope it is true that Devon has put the Axx of Jagpostles back together. I would love to see them if they ever make it to Florida. Love, Peace, Respect.
Loved your lessons Devon. Please make more. Best reggae lessons on youtube!💪🏾🎸👍🤘
Most respect to you Devon from New Brunswick Canada. You warm up my cold winter day!
Bro Devon & Bro Donovan. Thanks a lot man. The video done and me still hear the rhythm. I want to play JUST LIKE YOU. i'M SERIOUS!!!
Fucking inspiration right!
More videos like this please, both of them are so enjoyable, thank you so much.
AWESOME... I just started playing bass and i just finished saying... "i must learn some reggae basslines... being that i am Jamaican... and i also have dreads... it would be a shame if i couldnt play reggae bass...
Jason Push
"being that i am Jamaican... and i also have dreads"...LOL...A REAL JAMAICAN SAID THIS???

Now THAT's what we're talking about. Bad arsed. A couple years ago Nathan East provided a lesson in reggae bass on RUclips. Well, I love Mr East, one of the busiest bassists in the world, but he needs to watch this. Peace my brother, and stay blessed.
I saw the same Nathan East vid last week and that's exactly what I think too.. This is the real deal

I like 'behind' to make it sound so phat, like a canvas for the other instruments
wow!
The Sweet Spot.
I always wonder what are the dislikes for in cases like this...
not well syncronised ,,,thats way usee few dislikes
People who don't have any rhythm 😥
@MomoTheBellyDancer yes
Agree'd , makes no sense .. unless they have butter fingers and squashed the dislike button by accident
Slappers and Jaco Pastorius wannabes :D
Is there more? I really wish there was more, like a whole lesson...
Hello Devon, thank you for sharing your Reggae music knowledge. So beautiful... Would you say that the effect of playing behind the beat is meant to create a feeling of being a little high or buzzed? It feels slightly disorienting and trippy, so I was wondering if that's the interpretation of it. I'm not relating to the ahead of the beat feel. Are there any bass players who are famous for doing this in reggae music? Thanks! Peace...
Can't wait to see how Devon answers this one.
I'm a reggae bass man I can answer that for devon..most reggae bass players play a little behind the time it's called swinging..horns also do that in a lot of different styles of music..it just makes it nicer.
bassie touch
I know what you mean about that nicer feel and playing relaxed behind the beat. It's an important musical feel to understand and maintain. But when Devon first demoed his "behind the beat," he REALLY exaggerated it, almost in an extreme and "distracting" way. I would never want to listen to an entire song like that, because it almost made the groove feel too busy and disorienting. But that built-in "delay" effect is usually heard in breakdown sections and instrumental interludes, etc., where I feel it works great. That's why I was asking if that exaggerated feel was meant to create a high or buzzed "psychedelic" sensation.
Not at all to create that sensation...if u listen to bob marley music u will notice that the bassman plays like that on most songs.prob in every song. ;)

OK, cool... Thanks for responding further. I'm a musician (piano/keys), but reggae is one genre of music that I never got to play or analyze in depth, until very recently. I never had the opportunity to work with reggae musicians. But I've always loved reggae music (LOVE Bob Marley, of course), and I always accepted reggae, without really examining it beyond simply enjoying it as great music. Recently, I started playing bass (I accidentally discovered how naturally bass came to me and how in love with the instrument I've become). I especially love reggae bass, and I will be listening with very different ears from now on. Thnx!
Please please give a part 3
Thanks for watching. Part 3 is coming. We are editing it now. This time it's reggae drum lesson but will also feature Devon on bass. Inseparable! Also check out "Jazz/Reggae Jam" on our channel.
ReggaeintheRuff wicked brotha wicked
I'm annoyed at RUclips for taking until now to digest this to me.
Give me a little bit of this music, thank you
turn up the bass!
nice lesson thanks. what amp do you use, and is that a clean sound or a little overdrive
yeahmon, AMPEG my first choice. that's a clean sound.
thanks
👌🏽
This is the shit Bro!cats can play!
Behind the beat is som real badman sound
What an acoustic bass do you use?
Pattihead ....we need another tutorial
Him bad no banana trash wicked.
Please, turn up the bass sound...
Thanks for watching Nicolas. Devons Reggae bass tone is some deep shit man. Real low end. You are not going to get the full spectrum on a cellphone speaker or cheap ear plug headphones. You can tell by the hundreds of comments here that a lot of people are able to hear him just fine. Try it on good headphones or an adequate sound system. It's worth the effort! Give it another try brother.
que viagem
Jah Rastafari!
i cant hear the bass :( nice video tho! peace!
Greetings and thanks for watching our video. We have heard a similar comment 2 or 3 times before concerning the bass on this video and also Devon's Reggae Bass Tips #1. We believe it may be because you listening to it on a cellphone or maybe with poor headphones. Am I right? These 2 videos have about 350,000 views to date with only 3 comments like yours. So please try watching on a different system or with better headphones and I hope that works better for you. We will try to work on this issue when we produce our next sessions,
yeah, it was just because of hearing it on a mobile. on pc is much better.
thanks for all your work and for sharing it with us! peace!
Thank you brother.
Yeah man, tis fine with headphones! Easy poppin'.
Drums are overpowering, bass is not as clear and “readable” #BadMix ... otherwise great ;))
Thanks for watching. Not for your cellphone man. Headphones or speakers.
I'm listening on beats pro headphones and it's great! My only complaint is that you don't have a video a day! Thank you for your contribution to humanity.
