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.

You are welcome!

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, man. Been looking into reggae rhythms and this was nice. Enjoying listening, enjoying playing. Be well buddy.

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!!!

Just a single down stroke ...wow you made it so easy.

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 KZread. 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.

Reggae will always be my favorite

so simple yet so powerful

Excellent teacher I'm going try this as I have always wanted to play reggae thank you so much I can learn alot from this

Excellent tutorial. I have an acoustic guitar, but this video gives me an excuse to go out and buy an electric guitar. Thanks for posting this.

Blessings ,and peace brother. You're showing the world how to create and not to destroy.Thanks for the video . It's helping me a lot.

Simply awesome, thanks for posting. Great instructions & demonstration. 🤙

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.

This lesson was a big help (I’m just getting into playing reggae). Cheers!

Thank you very much for your lesson and for your being, I guess you are a fine soul! All the best, for the best!

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.👍🎸😎

This is the video I was hoping to find...

I believe the best guitar for playing reggae is...the the guitar you have and love the most.....😎🎸

Thank you the video...may positive vibes come your way..

Sounds brilliant.. I struggle with Barre chords though. Always have done. Cant understand it because ive got a good grip but still struggle with them.

I mix some reggae with blues and metal ! Nice lesson 👍

Cool Vid ! I thought I had it right, but it's good to have it reinforced with someone that knows how to do correctly ! Thank You ! All My Best !

Great editing 🙌

Thanks for breaking it down. Love the guitar too.

Wow man this is such a fun lesson I love it.😃👍❤️🎶🎸

This is a very helpful lesson, well done.

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.

For beginners, at the very beginning of the lesson can you show how to fret those chords that you are playing?

Very good lesson, thanks.

Thank you for this video

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.

Good sound. Live reggae music

Would I do this with C major and E minor because I see those two chords in some reggae songs and I don't know how to make it sound like that?

@funkrobot9762

Use barre chords my dude

Salamat from da Philippines Islands

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 and Greetz from Germany. first of all, Thank you for your lesson! Second, when i do down and up stroke, must i release the strings short as possible after the up stroke or before i do the up stroke? Sorry about my english, it's not the best.

I dont understand yet after many tries and recordings to dampen the string after the chop. You allways hear a sound after it from individual strings... i dont understand how to immediately mute all strings.

@whymonkeymusic

5 жыл бұрын

You must release the pressure that's pressing the strings to the fretboard, it may take some practice. If you are sure your fingers are already muting the strings and yet you hear a ringing it could be that your guitar's neck is bent or something and you could 1) take it to a store and have it check it out 2) try to fix it with the truss rod, but this is highly technical work so I wouldn't recommend it

Very NIce

Thanks.Love it.

Just for those who don’t know reggae is short for regular music !

Great

For beginners can you please tell us the frets and strings you are playing. Give thanxs

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.
