He did better. He explained it in terms so that a person, with or without any education in music, can clearly understand. A person who does not have any formal knowledge in music whould be asking you "WTF is a wandering bass or downstroke?" Anyway, well done Bob!
this is very interesting it shows how music keeps on evoving untill we get a genre that is established. alot of people dont know that bob was a ska artist orginally. ska was credible in its own right and became huge with mainstream hita with artists like bad manners, the specials, the beat etc. i think reggae music is the most influential gentre in the world. from the 70s 80s and today many pop records are reggae influenced
Try searching “1960’s Jamaican music” It’s about a 10 minute video. I would assume from there you could find similar videos in the recommended section underneath. One love!
This is one of the first times I can understand what Marley is saying, even though I have grown up all my life in a West Indian community and have many friends who’s parents have strong West Indian accents, for some reason I find it very difficult to understand that accent
Haha yeah for me too, and I think Rocksteady is very close to Soul, which is my favourite music, so Rocksteady sounds the best to me, but everything sounds great anyway in the roots of Reggae music
its funny i try to explain the difference between a 4x4 beat and a break beat the same way lol....although i just end up confusing them lol. rip bob. your teachings and music still lives on...even through youtube!!!!!
It's really not the original version, but now I think so too, that this is that song. So thank you! Vagyis köszönöm, mert látom, hogy te is magyar vagy.:)
@DuderBre Being high doesn't impede people's speech. It's just hard to understand for people who aren't familiar with the Jamaican patois. Lots of words are pronounced differently and there are a lot of grammatical conventions that are left over from West African languages.
He doesnt say anything about a shuffle. The piano rhythm he imitates at first is for a different rhythm that was played during the R&B phase (late 50s to around '61) of Jamaican music. Then he doesnt explain how one jumps from that rhythm to the fast, offbeat skank of ska. He just says, "from there now it develop." How? They are totally unrelated rhythms, Bob. Yeah, the shuffle is there in the TIMELINE, but what the Skatalites did in their ska rhythm was a radical departure

Lol and who are you? .. Trying to teach Bob Marley about reggae music's evolution?
@ Which fact do you disagree with? Do you think R&B shuffle (which Bob didn't create, which Jamaicans got from US musicians) evolved into straight ska (which Lloyd Knibb developed from jazz-bolero and nyabinghi)? Why don't you talk to hundreds of Jamaican rhythm section musicians who will tell you that is not true. They aren't going to deny facts, their experience, and their ears just because Bob, a singer, happened to get more internationally famous and felt like telling a nice little layman story about an "evolution." There's no evolution. There are several key studio musicians that founded different grooves coming from different directions. Bob wasn't some historian or musicologist or even an innovating musician in that process of creating rhythm in those years. It would be like going to Taylor Swift and asking her to tell you the history and stylistic development of Country music-- wrong person to ask that question. Interviewer should be asking the questions on topics that Bob could speak to authoritatively, but instead asks something that he (the interviewer), a clueless outsider, has no means to assess the answer to, and ends up getting bullshitted. Then the documentary creators, who clearly have no idea either, throw in this random Prince Buster clip that doesn't support anything that was just discussed. BBC and such have made a load of these "documentaries" with wrong narratives because they have too little musical training and talked to the wrong people.
(Continued) And the r&b piano riff he "plays" isnt even a shuffle -- it's another r&b rhythm of the time which has little correlation between the version of "ska" rhythm that would go on to form the basis of rocksteady.
@@hultonclint thanks alot for that tune but there is a song exactly how he sounds it on 0:38 . Beres Hammond double trouble has a similar beat in the background ruclips.net/video/DG6ziF7Mnwc/видео.html but it's not what I'm looking for either. Any clues dude?
"However, his description about various music falls flat" In this particular segment/footage, or generally? Would it surprise you to know there are thousands, perhaps millions of people who understand, Bob's interpretation quite clearly, ie Sting-Eric Clapton etc?. What qualifies you to make such a statement?
I have video blogs about this on my channel, including "Jamaican R&B" and "Ska" where I've tried to deconstruct the various elements that went into these shifts. "Shuffle mixed with calypso to create ska"? Even if that were wholly true, it is too vague to actually "explain" anything...unless you are someone like me or you (I assume) who actually kinda knows-- but for others, his examples will sound nearly identical.
@leftocastpunx83 He died from a melanoma that started on the bottom of his foot. People thought it had to be an assassination because black people very seldom get melanoma because their natural melanin provides more than enough UV protection. The soles of the feet and the palms of the hands, however, don't have any melanin in them, and are equally succeptible to melanomas in all races. Bob Marley was known to go barefoot whenever he could.
Uh, Bob, ha ha.....how does that "explain" the differences? Do we really think anyone would actually understand the difference from that? "chununa - chununa - cha" :)
Did you ever have a physician who totally ruled in physics but couldn't explain shit about it? Beeing good in something doesn't mean in the least that one is able to communicate this ability or the underlying principles. There's a reason why there is such a thing as a teacher, which is not necessarily the brightest person in its field but maybe better able to communicate something than a nobel prize winner. I think Bob just did it, but if you have no idea of Reggea, this really doesn't help.
Because of recent developments the Marley estate is now worth over 1 B$. I think this bloke truthaxe is having a laugh and looking for attention..poor demented sod.
See Bob's right foot is all strapped up, cos of the rare melanoma that ultimately spread and killed him. Doctors had offered to amputate the toe, but he refused because of his rasta beliefs, if it had been amputated he might have lived. A great, great loss.
WTF have you read anything I wrote? Did you check out my channel where I vlog after listening VERY carefully to 1000s of songs in Jamaican music and then jam + analyze the rhythm changes year by year? Everyone here that says "Yah, I totally get it from his explanation" either 1) ALREADY had it / knew it, so the vagueness of it is moot point; or 2) Thinks they get it, meaning they follow the explanation itself (as an explanation) but probably do not actually get all the differences in the music
![MISSING: SLIM SHADY [Expanded Mourner’s Edition Trailer]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/xh8qgHrOO1g/mqdefault.jpg)
he is explaining the differences so simply. everyone can understand it.
Yeah cause it’s simple af moit
Damn, my grandpa sounds just like this. Only a deeper voice. Being Jamaican is fucking awesome.
Love how he explains this - I like rocksteady the best but it’s all great. What an incredible man-gone too soon.
He did better. He explained it in terms so that a person, with or without any education in music, can clearly understand.
A person who does not have any formal knowledge in music whould be asking you "WTF is a wandering bass or downstroke?"
Anyway, well done Bob!
What’s a wandering bass and a downstroke I’m curious please
Yes i really really miss Bob Marley since you left us in May 1981
the end of the video is from 'Prince Buster - wash wash'
T%hanks man. I had this vid years ago and couldn't remember the name of the song or singer. been looking for it for hours....

Joe Higgs is the godfather of reggae. Bob is the child of reggae. Beautiful precursors
Beautiful Bob, love him forever xxx
@Nikoz7Makaveli
Bus Dem Shut is a great Wailers rocksteady tune... also "Hypocrite" and the original first version of "Stir It Up".
Wow I would love to see more videos like the one at the end!
Try searching “1960’s Jamaican music”
It’s about a 10 minute video. I would assume from there you could find similar videos in the recommended section underneath. One love!
OMG...put the captions on. I can't explain how funny it turns out!!!
looooll thank you!
🤣🤣🤣
Awesome lyrics for a new song
❤he explaining the difference so simply about music had stated
I didn't know that ska came before reggae
I won a bet about this fact. ;-)
You must be very young!
it came after too
Ska came before reggae 🎵
@@lewissmart7915 revivals
This is one of the first times I can understand what Marley is saying, even though I have grown up all my life in a West Indian community and have many friends who’s parents have strong West Indian accents, for some reason I find it very difficult to understand that accent
Ska is king
+inserter400 Nah, Rock Steady
raggae is
jaspermatty
Nah classic
Haha yeah for me too, and I think Rocksteady is very close to Soul, which is my favourite music, so Rocksteady sounds the best to me, but everything sounds great anyway in the roots of Reggae music
Thank you! I'm looking for this song for weeks!
its funny i try to explain the difference between a 4x4 beat and a break beat the same way lol....although i just end up confusing them lol. rip bob. your teachings and music still lives on...even through youtube!!!!!
I am still very confused...
He explains that ska is fast comping, reggae is slow comping, and Rocksteady is slow and rings out.
SKA also borrowed elements from Jazz, Bob Marley's first hit :"Simmer Down" was SKA.
It's really not the original version, but now I think so too, that this is that song. So thank you! Vagyis köszönöm, mert látom, hogy te is magyar vagy.:)
I love the way he explains!!
Wow this is true bob really broke it down so simply
Beautiful man.. RIP.
He's like a God. What a man.
Super way how broke that down. After all, he should know.
Because through music we can live forever
That was cute how that little black chick was doin' that little dance at the end. ;)
I love my culture.
100% Pure Jamaican blood.
queeneferterri I love your culture too. Not Jamaican, but love the culture.
U R right....the man behinde the dancing woman....
we miss you Bob
i barely understood what he was saying at the beginning but that was awesome! i get what he's trying to say when he gives the examples.
@ignitionspark was that citizen playing at the end?!
One love.
someone needs to put subtitles on this!!!
Listen carefully to the beat in how he explains it. Each explanation of each type of music has a different beat.
Beautiful Jamaican people.
man, i wish i were jamaican
rocksteady is the best
okey bob, thx to help me find the light
👏😊 sooo cool!!!🙏✌♥️🧘♀️
♥️
u have good eyes..
R.I.P Bob

The comment below was meant for hultonclint - not the legendary Bob.

I've noticed that rhythmic "chan-chan-chan" thing before, and now I've heard Bob Marley vocalize it, but I still don't know what it's called.
What is that music at the end of the video? Sounds very good.
esta chula su playera
Thnx alot, clear! I cant find the original version of Stir It Up, can you help me?
WAHTS the diferent to Ishank and shank , ajajaja WELL master marley is soww fany dare , respect and blesssss reggae is Jah music

to lionfjuda... He's talking about the late, great Joe Higgs at 0:39
Poetry from grave. Luv Nesta

I can’t be the only one who heard him fart
He's with us, just not in physical form.
is the first riddim he sings calypso? and then ska, rocksteady and reggae?
Yes
Hi where did you find this?
I do not understand this video but I love you anyway you're the guy
i love you
i love you
true true... :D
Never seen a man talk about music so passionately. It’s just music man…or is it?

@monkeytown1000 i was sure bob marley was assasinated?!?!
king of ska
@fuckoffben It's not the tempo, it's that' accentuated kind of thump on the up beat.
Prat!

Fun fact: this video is the oldest video in RUclips!
isn't it joe gibbs?
a los 0.55 min lo explica mas q claramente
Because of recent developments the Marley estate is now worth over 1 B$.
I think this bloke truthaxe is having a laugh and looking for attention..poor demented sod.
What song plays at the end???
Wash wash by prince buster
Thank you!
who can tell me some real Rocksteady songs of Bob Marley?
U still wondering
Never understand what saying
See Bob's right foot is all strapped up, cos of the rare melanoma that ultimately spread and killed him. Doctors had offered to amputate the toe, but he refused because of his rasta beliefs, if it had been amputated he might have lived.
A great, great loss.
I'm sorry but calypso dknt sound nothing like reggea or dancehall thays just me thou
