    I was introduced to reggae in the early 1970's. Luckily it came to me much like putting shoe on. I play mainly roots reggae. It has been my love since the '70's.

    Thanks for laying it out so well. It’s not hard and I think that’s the beauty of it, that it is so relaxed and yet groovy at the same time.

    I don't play but as a listener of music it is good for me to watch these tutorials so that I truly know what I am hearing

      The hardest part of playing music is listening!! I bet when you’re ready to play, you’d learn so fast!!

      Love that. I do something with trying to figure out how things are engineered or how things work. My guitar playing isn't great, but part of the joy is being even closer to the source. Recording and mixing a few song attempts has been really fun.

    Thank you. I have always struggled with the "count" in reggae. I can seldom find the ONE of 1-2-3-4, lol. This was helpful. Perhaps I need to stop counting and just feel it.

  • @MiserableLittleDoomGoblin
    @MiserableLittleDoomGoblin 2 года назад +6

    Great insights! Especially the part of playing on the upper three strings so as to not muddy things up with the mid frequencies being played by the keyboards. I wish more musicians would understand the role of their instrument in a song and the range of frequencies that they should be targeting.

    Thank you for this, it's the best begining reggae video I've seen I think I finally get it! I'm a metal head who just channeled a reggae song one day for no reason and I never knew what to do with it so I have to learn the basics, it's so beautiful I can't let the song fade away so I'm gunna learn and it's not easy. Such a different style. Thank you!

      @@playreggaeguide Thanks brother! It's easy to forget to check back for a reply!
      Anyway, I like to find songs and try to play along but my ears aren't developed enough to pick out the chords so I'm usually not playing them right. Common sense tells me I should just keep trying until it sounds right. Any other suggestions or tips for making this process easier? I like those AHA! moments. BE SAFE!!!

    @beau692 4 года назад +4

    Great tutorial. As a reggae keyboardist who also plays guitar, this is the best tutorial I’ve seen on RUclips. As a keyboardist, I look forward to playing with a guitarist with this tone. It makes the bubble sounds great and I don’t have to move up an octave to sound like reggae on the piano hand.

    So they do fret it incompletely, not touching the fret at all, and it doesn't matter if it's not as precise an intonation as if it was completely fretted.
    And the wah can be stuck in that position?

      It starts with a good guitar and amp. Then practice loads to get your tone-part of it is in the fingers as well.
