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.
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.
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!!!
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.
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.
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.
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....
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.
Great video. I'd seen a few videos advocating double press of the strings on the double chuck which I cannot do and have always done it like this video press on the downstroke and release on the upstroke. I was starting to think I wasn't authentic but this reaffirms my style. BTW I play guitar in a tribute band and have a fb page called Reggae Guitar. Have a look, see what you think.

💯
Thanks for the cool tips love reggae 🇯🇲🇹🇹
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.
You are welcome!
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!
1 law in music: If it sound good, play it.
Not even that is a law for music in general :-)
This is a tautology :)
Learning to play! This sounds good to me! 💞
Sounds good to you or what ?
Well said!
