- Understanding 16th note patterns is a key element in reggae bass playing. In this video I demonstrate 3 rhythmic patterns that are used regularly by reggae bass players. There are a lot more than 3 but get these 3 into your DNA and you will be on your way to sounding authentic on your bass. Once you have them memorised feel free to experiment by mixing the rhythms.
If you found this video helpful feel free to by me a coffee here.

What a time to be alive. Learning from the greats via the internet. As a very late starter on bass I’m still amazed how positive the bass community is and how lucky we are to have access to resources such as this. ❤️
Thank You. The future is bright.
Especially Don Chandler ! And all of this for free ;-)
I came across this video purely by accident but I'm so glad I did, reggae bass has always been a complicated genre for me but the way you break it down is just what I need, Subscribed. Nuff respect 👊🏾
Donstrumental: So the first secret of this is we're not going to play on the one
OnTheOne: omg
Blessing the next generation of bassists! Thank you Don
The bassline with the last minor Groove sounded amazing, even when you stayed in one note
I come away from your videos wanting to play reggae and nothing but reggae. Truly inspiring.
Hard to go wrong reinforcing the basics. Well done!
Music made easy ! This is the best lesson in the history of Bass Music. Decades of knowledge delivered in a few minutes. All I can say is thank you.
Thank you Don, this is seriously one of the best bass lesson videos I have ever seen. The way you broke down using syllable words to keep time is fantastic.
Every time I get a notification of a new video, I stop whatever I'm doing just to watch it. Awesome stuff.
Me too! :)
Don, I think your videos will be directly responsible for some amazing music to come! I'm so happy you're back!
Nice tutorial, I think I'll use - Bun ny Wai ler instead of cat a pil lar. Thanks for your videos.
Why didn't I think of that🤣
Bunny Wailer!!!
@@donstrumental8905it would have been the perfect trinity
Just in bei ber...
@@bcbc8649 this is a beiber free zone🤣
As an elderly white guy not brought up ion this stuff but learning a bit of bass to go along with my guitar stuff your lessons are terrific. Thanks Don
I'm a 61 year old (right now) bass player who started playing in May of 2020. I think I first saw Don on eBassGuitar YT channel. Now he's in my feed/recommended videos and I have to say I love his style of teaching. But what I love most from Don is his knowledge of Reggae and the artists that he turns me/us on to. At my age, Bob Marley was what I knew as Reggae. Now, learning all that history is stimulating my brain and my fingers! But....someone please explain the difference between riddim and rhythm.
Rhythm is the sub division of notes related to time. Riddim is a Jamaican word for Backing Track. A whole video coming on this same subject.
This is how I think about rhythms as well.
4:20 I call that, silencing the downbeats (the “cat” in caterpiillar), banana. 1 banana 2 banana 3 banana 4 banana. Banana is a code word for “skip the first 16th”.
6:20 Banana caterpillar Bob Marley Bob Marley
8:20 Banana caterpilar Bob Marley Peter Tosh
I love this fresh content, short and sweet, same awesome energy. Thank you Teacher!
Riddim up!
I like that.
I love how when combined with the fat bass tone, the rest on beat one becomes a big pillowy presence of it’s own. For me, it is that rest that makes the whole rhythm work. Thanks for this!
In reggae bass, it's the subtle things that turn average lines into great ones. Thank you for pointing some of them out.
I appreciate the observation that there are many different musical "languages" on the planet, and they're not all the same.
I was unsuccessfully trying to create a bass line this afternoon at band practice…..now I know what to play👍👍
Real good style of YT video teaching. Relaxed pace in explaining! ,that's rare these days . Just nice step by step.
Makes me want to dust of mi old bass in that corner of my room.
Thanks. Respect&manners.
Get the duster out.
I'm a rock bass player who just stumbled on this video. Fantastic lesson in 16th notes! Thank you!
Thank you so much for bringing this knowledge. I have been messing with 16th notes for basslines for ages without really understanding why or what I'm doing. This just makes perfect sense and everything has just dropped into place for me. Thank you, thank you.
Never mind the groove, that tone is to die for! ❤
Agreed, we need a vid on how he gets that tone
@@Energy_from.the_Sun It's no secret. Focus on good technique, the tone is all in the hands. A light touch, fatter tone.
Agreed that music tonality - melody - rhythm - dynamics - tempo (Grammar) is a language but genres can be seen or treated as dialects because they all use the same grammar
BASS CULTURE 🙏
As a producer reggae bass lines are incredibly difficult and easy at the same time …….but watching this vid has explained where the magic lyes…
Something about this method really sticks in my head. Thank you for the learning Don.
Awesome lesson, Don. I learned a lot from this. Thank you for taking the time to spread the knowledge.
How lucky was I to find you in this enormous RUclips world. You are definitely the best educator
I am a total bass beginner. This is brilliant
Man, I love you! This video is amazing! I’m not a bassist but I do a bit of keyboards and I use bass on there. The way you explained the bass playing is how I go about it in my head. I use various names in my head. I’m so grateful for your sharing this with us ❤️❤️
Thanks man, the beats are sweet. I will groove all afternoon to that « cat a pill er » beat.
That has opened so many doors! I’ve always followed the ‘less is more’ style of reggae bass playing ie Flabba Holt but this lesson has allowed me to stretch myself musically. Thank you so much!
What an excellent, simple and memorable tutorial!
I just bought a shirt to support your channel. I hope they pass on a reasonable slice to you!
I love the concept of note removal. I never thought of approaching a bass rhythm that way but it makes perfect sense.
im a trying musician. and i been playing such rhythm without true knowledge. this just emphasized my need for more. thank you
Splendid, starting with the good idea, that every type of music has certain language to respect to play that type of music through its correct expressions and phrases, this video is good addition to my knowledge about reggae music.
I’ve been watching bass video lessons on RUclips for the best part of 10 years, grew up watching them in fact, and this is one of the best. Loved your sound, loved your feel, guess you must’ve been a session player at some point? Liked and subscribed and will buy you a coffee when I have more money in my bank, Cheers 👍
Edit: Oh I see you’re a Grammy winning bassist and producer, makes bloody sense ahahaha
Thanks Don great lesson. 🐛🐛👊🏾❤💛💚
Jah bless you Don, thanks for another excellent tutorial video. As always, easy to follow, straight forward. Big hugs and riddim up!!
appreciate you Don, youre the first and only bass player i went to when i first picked up the instrument. still eating off your teachings, greatly appreciated man cheers
Omg, over the last week or so I couldn't get get that Caterpillar- Bob-Marley-Peter-Tosh pattern out of my head. 🤩 I wonder if I ever will from now on 😂
It's a good thing to have it in your head at all times, eventually it will seep into your body and help develop your internal clock. Every other channel out there will tell you to play with a metronome before you develop your internal clock. Not good advice.
Thank you so much for this tutorial Don, please keep posting
OMG, this is just mindblowing!😅 Now all I hear is ’terpillar, caterpillar, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh! Thank you very much!🫶
Very enjoyable lesson, hope you have more improvement grooves for us
Thank you very much for your videos. They are useful, humble, inspiring.

WOW!!!!!! Thank you very much!
I'm a solo composer and I couldn't play the reggae bass.
Thank you from Brazil!
What a great lesson Don!
I really like the way you broke down that every genre has its own vocabulary. I’ve never heard anyone else say that and it’s so true. Great video.
I learn't that from bassist Victor Wooten 20+ years ago.
Utterly superb. Thank you Sir.
Excellent! Thank you.
Bless up Don! Your lessons rock!
