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.
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.
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!
Nice. You have great a way of getting your message across. I picked up more about reggae rhythms in my first visit to your site than I have in years. Thank you very much.
WOW, FINALLY somebody with the right qualifications giving some authentic reggae lessons!!! As I go through the lessons, please let me know if I can reach out to you if I have trouble and how to best do so (email?). THANK YOU AND ONE LOVE. PEACE!!!
@@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!!!
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.
Many thanks for a very Informative and useful beginners lesson. Was having some trouble with the action and timing. Will take you advice and I!m enthusiastic to practice. Thanks for the motivation that I needed.👍🎸😎
I like how you said play mainly the three high strings. I was wondering how they get the keyboard and guitar to sound like one instrument to get that cool rhythm.
thanks for this video. i have loved reggae my whole life, but never understood the differences..... my new favorite is a band of white boys from oakland, california called "stick figure." their rythyms and lyrics are brilliant....
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?

Thanks for the cool tips love reggae 🇯🇲🇹🇹
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.
Glad you like it!
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
Yessi bless up, Braddah!
The hardest part of playing music is listening!! I bet when you’re ready to play, you’d learn so fast!!
I respect that so much ! Such a cool outlook

Just a single down stroke ...wow you made it so easy.
Glad you like it!
Been playing for 50 years but never tried reggae.... excellent easy to grasp video; thank you my friend.

Hello, one questions please, how equalizer my amp? or how equalizer my guitar?. My guitar sound very treble when use pedal wah.
@@playreggaeguide Thanks!
Great vid, thanks
Man what song is that love that beat
Its a song, just something I produced.
For beginners, at the very beginning of the lesson can you show how to fret those chords that you are playing?
Niiice! Thanks for the useful tips! Sounds great.
Thank you for the lesson.
Very NIce
thanks! awesome videos!
Thanks a lot mon, love it !
Good sound. Live reggae music
Thanks dear iam srilanka
thanks Bro it's cool
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?
Hello, how do we get tone like this? What other effects do I need besides wah pedal ?
It starts with a good guitar and amp. Then practice loads to get your tone-part of it is in the fingers as well.
Thank you for this video
Great
For beginners can you please tell us the frets and strings you are playing. Give thanxs
Salamat from da Philippines Islands
hey man great videos ! any advice on a wah pedal to start with and play reggae ?
Thanks.Love it.
Hae, I'd like to know which finger should be on which string and tell me which fret I should play at
Watch the video slowly, and you will see!
