[Joerynecox]

[bLUD118]

[esara6]

[Sparks217]

[Snafu1OH1]

he reminds me of that guy on madtv

[MetalRivas]

@Snafu1OH1

michael mcdonald?

[MushroomHello]

what does 355433 mean?

[AllAustrianReject]

@MushroomHello it tells you on what frets you gotta put your fingers from the (low E to the high E)

[smellyfeetmuffins]

@MushroomHello

It means bar the 3rd fret and then on the 2nd and 3rd string hold 1the 5th fret and 4th fret in the fourth string

look at his fingers

[MetalRivas]

@MushroomHello

the string

from lowest to high

[Belizeization]

Ska is not only jamaican what about the rest of the carribean like Belize

[specksd1]

u said timber the word is timbre pronounce it (tombra)

great vid btw!!!

[XHitcherX1]

@specksd1 actually the way to pronounce it is (tam'ber)

[redsoxfan713]

OPERATION IVY!!!

[gta4sergio]

you remind me of Doug Wilson from Weeds :P

[JBoucks]

if u have ever listen to songs like date rape and same in the end and all you need, how the raggae punk/ska strumming goes, im always off beat when i try to play it, how do i fix that ive been practicing for way too long and im not getting better at it

[puffie300]

@JBoucks Have you tried counting? or playing with a click?

[silverskittles50]

oh my god totally buying your dvd on santeria...its my favorite sublime song. thank you so much

[silverskittles50]

I fucking love you...thank you. needed a good ska sublime inspired lesson since they're my favorite band

[Its40oztoFreedom]

Can you please do a vid abot how to set up your guitar and amp and what distortion pedals you are rocking right now to get the pitch of your guitar...my amp and guitar sound like 80's hair metal its no bueno

[Solidjesse]

Mi esponal es malo, peru te puedo decir esto es muy bueno. LARGA VIDA A LO SUBLIME!

[ripperlok951]

Yeah Sektacore Rudo Movimiento and 8k cant forget Raskahuele yo

[ohnoestheydidnt]

He's playing 40 oz of Freedom

[cgwhip]

this guy totally looks like he should be playing reggae. it just adds to the lesson.

[webohead03]

dona canchis, rudo movimiento,sekta core, 8 kalacas .. check it out ur guna love it

[meelzonweelz69]

seem like a nice dude, great taste too :)

[rockincucumber]

No. The Ska era evolved out of Regae. I love Ska but you got it wrong.

[sublime01161]

@rockincucumber no your wrong the ska you no came after reggae but original ska was first look it up theres many waves of ska do some research

[copybookheadings]

@rockincucumber  You are incorrect.

[mariothecoolfool]

Leftover Crack!

[mbs100k]

Ok, I'm a leadguitarist checkin out these vids outta curriousity. I'm also a drummer, learned in school band. So I learned proper techneque. He's doing really good on the counting, and being a drummer also, I totally understand. My question is, "tho theres no other way for him to show it" but does make me wonder of those who dont have drum background. Are you guys picking this up easily? Ya gettin it? And it makes me wonder. ha ah

[GoingCamando20]

hey man how do you get the tone?

[gageman70]

@GoingCamando20 i think they use line 6 amps...and that effect is reverb.

[usuariosinmaz]

too much bla bla but thanks for the video man

[SkankyRegg]

it's "Skat" not skank.. skank is the style of dance.. but great lesson man!

[Eihoofd2]

@SkankyRegg skank can be both the dancing or playing, doesn't matter.

[bbolton298]

@SkankyRegg skanking is a dance, but also a style of strumming. skatting is a vocal technique. blues traveler is good at it.

[bbolton298]

@SkankyRegg "skank" is a dance, but also a style of strumming. "skat" is a vocal technique. blues traveler is good at it.

[phatnatyouknow]

SKA SKA SKA !!!

[Noobstur323]

this guy just broke out of jail and made a youtube video.

[newaccountdebzbd]

@Noobstur323 I just got out of jail a month ago. Problem?

[out4blood129]

*timbre is pronounced tamber

[casualastheycome]

@out4blood129 tambra

[rockandrolleracdc]

Sickest of headstocks

[vitormg77]

Very cool lesson.

[BKMTpictures]

3:25 he played the intro and chorus to lay me down by the dirty heads

[bbolton298]

@BKMTpictures saw that! haa

[downstube]

technically, ska is not technical, and he did a good job.

[evanparker]

technically, ska speaking, he's doing it wrong.

[smubmub]

he starts playing guitar at 01:45 ...like this so poeple can see nd fastforwards

[alejandro71587]

@smubmub

still ok

[JMort95]

sublime is more dub

[lbraps]

he played love the way you lie at 7:33

[JMort95]

7:32 same chords as pepper's ashes

[dudeofmuchrock]

skank!hahahahahahaa

[Bieji]

I would love to smoke a spliff with this man

[rubberpants]

was it not reggae then ska?

[dragossh]

so single-coil pickups are better for reggae? also, besides reverb, what other effects are used?

[guitardedist]

reverb, delay, phaser, wah. Delay especially, set it to triplets for the dub sound

[EthanjSwain999]

is that an orange amp? it has great reverb. i bet its an orange

[thedude8512]

he said go down on the skank...... he knows how to teach!!!!

[Tang526]

letz roll it all up together

[clutch0514]

that pearl headstock looks so sexy on that strat!

[dethklokfan254]

I like how he says timbre like timber

[n3r3m4c]

I remember learning Hotel California from this dude 4 or 5 years ago when I first started playing guitar. After all the time and practice I've had since then, he's still teaching guitar on youtube like nobody I've ever seen.

Keep it up man!

[Christianite554]

Down, up, down, up, release pressure on your way up, do it gently.

[Alfheiim]

me aburre cundo hablan un monton!!!

[larrycoldsweat]

reggae gits is the easiest yet the haredest thing to sus

[m0llym0nst3r]

HE LOOKS LIKE MY FUCKING PROGRAMMING TEACHER!

LMFAOOOOO

My programming teacher would always sing with Oasis, "Where were you while we were getting hiiiigh"

[RimTim22]

@m0llym0nst3r Champagne Supernova

[m0llym0nst3r]

@RimTim22 Yes. (:

[jacobiversen1]

DOWN UP DOWN UP!

[vinskafan]

the 3's mean your index finger is baring on the 3rd fret your middle finger is on the 5th fret and your next finger is on the 5th fret and your little finger is on the 4th fret and the number start from the fattest string going down to the thinnest string! if thats any help? oh and that stly of reading music is called tab!

[robertdavidsteiner]

i wish i was as high as you were in this video

[Punkforbrains]

Hey at 1:53 "G major Bar Chord 355433" what do the numbers mean?

Im still only learning. Any tips would be helpful.

[12palisades]

@Punkforbrains its the fret numbers as you're going from the thickest string to the thinnest string

[bipolarbear45]

@Punkforbrains the numbers are tabs

each number is what fret your fingers should be on

it begins at the low e and ends on the high e

[crcsector9]

i lov this videos,,,, thanks californian guys! you rock... Greetings from Costa Rica!!! positive vibes.

[tokumas]

@TheOzzyCometh No, accents are put on 2nd and 4th of course. But, believe me or not, it's up ( mute ), down ( chords ) up ( mute ) down ( chord ) for Ska beat. And you cut the sound with left hand if you are right-handed. Listen old Jamaican Ska like Tommy Mccook and Skatalites. For reggae, down stroke is often used for skunking and upstroke is used for muting. Well it actually depends what kind of sound texture you want and there are no rules though.

[tokumas]

No, it's up down up down up down

[TheOzzyCometh]

@tokumas uh no it's not. what the hell kinda ska/reggae accents the 1 and 3?

[davidwaters69]

Everytime Jerry Jones calls a play, chuck Norris dropkicks a baby kitten in the face.

[MapleCookieStory]

I keep getting emotional when I hear that little rhythm at 7:32.. It brings up so many memories D:

[glosticmescalina]

[SmokeandRide22]

Man the way you teach this lesson is sick, so easy to understand without being talked down to, right on!

[wygram]

@SmokeandRide22 i wanted to joke about g strings and fingering chords, but you're right. this is an awesome free lesson. i wish he would play something!!! Awesome job man! wish i had a guitar with me here

[currymilkshake3]

[dad5004]

[vandealex]

@dad5004 add some chorus and alot of reverb and use the middle pickup its your guitar is a strat and both if its a les paul or 2 humbucker style.

[russianspiesx]

LOL at his shirt, but on the real, he droppin' dat knowledge. I respect it, thanks!

[chuyojagger]

yeaah santeria by sublime is the best song i've ever heard bradley i the best to combine ska reggae and punk stylie music like STP ,Seed and someone else

[enjoilakai3]

very well explained, he may not have the roots rhythm but he is completely right about the mute downstroke and then the upstroke

[4verageMan]

irie bredda, so nice to upload this

[greencat48]

[loismari]

[grafkid13]

[gabriel47894]

do you hear Ska-P its a awesome band

[soijiro666]

@gabriel47894 it's really shit!

[uppercaseW721]

for your information, saw red is an acoustic song.

Learn your sublime. the gay version is... well... gay.

[ILoveKimPearson]

@uppercaseW721 the original saw red is electric from robbn the hood

[40mbe]

Thanks man :D And i don't think your hat is stupid, don't listen to people that deny your free lesson.

[DukeDanceum]

Brad of Sublime didn't strum up often unless it was a a faster song like Saw Red. Or at least that how it seems in the videos I've watched.

[flapjack516]

tight

[ChrisTube3333]

Reggae sin janka

[evaedna7]

thank you for your wonderful teaching!

[TripAir]

Nice. I thought ska was simple but it's not.

[frewdog]

Great vid, but timbre is pronounced tom-bre

[aquadead101]

@frewdog actually its tam-bre

[wwjdend]

lol play the guitar less talk

[nerskie]

Man, Thanks for this valuable lesson!

[mxfuser]

Great video bro, really helping me learn to play ska and you explained it very well!

[ApoKolyPse999]

why do u guys fight?



[JulianSomeday]

dude your chord progression is dope!!

[gobodrodiont]

fuck, how could you do that in the end?

[inriches]

Thank you.

[jbgandhi2]

Reggae is ska after black nationalism and rastafarianism ruined it.

[kshackdabullet]

@jbgandhi2 Fuck you piece of shit dont disrespect rast fuck head.

[jbgandhi2]

@kshackdabullet Would you like to state any facts to further your argument? The fact is, reggae = ska + black nationalism + rastafarianism. In my opinion, ska > reggae. I didn't say anything disrespectful about rastafarianism, just that it ruined ska. Hell, look what it did to the Bad Brains.

2 fucks and a shit, but good job using that period!

[MacMalte]

i love this guy

[epackfan]

been playing many years myself, and love ska, so this is an awesome lesson, and I'm already impressing friends with what i learned watching this. very cool

[racenmcb]

[grunt616]

@racenmcb i dont say shit when i'm high....i just laugh at the jokes my sober friend tells me

[shadylurker138]

[JMort95]

[ajbguitar123]

[bigtoysdt]

Love this guy, he is a gifted Teacher..Thank You for the lessons!

[3301pepe]

i need a reverb pedal or a delay pedal to play reggae?

[jmanbgg]

@3301pepe nah man you dont Need reverb or delay, but its good to have

[enematrocoya]

imma say, this guy is a great teacher, im not into reggae, but imma give it a try, only because this guy makes it look fun

[acesXhigh45]

@enematrocoya u dont listen to bob marley

[SteelSkullX]

@missedhermusick Where is your video Einstein?

[willemkz]

One of the advantages of a long lesson is that you are playing while looking at this guy :P, so I'm actually not paying attention to my guitar, but I'm still playing :P this way you really get the feeling down.

But anyway, thanks, good lesson.

[zomedude]

@missedhermusick ska is just reggae with sax being the lead instead of bass

[EazyRun]

Thanks for this great lesson :D !!

[52sircharles]

Cool guy! enjoyed the lesson!

[willpower189]

[09maddegr]

IF you watch alot of the old guys playing ska (lester sterling is all i got), there not actally doing an upstroke on the off beats.

it's what you would think but their not. their doing just down strokes.l 9 i'm not a guitar player but quit a fan of ska. reggae not so much.

loong live rocksteady

[bigtoysdt]

I love this guy..he has a real gift as a teacher..Thank You for sharing your amazing talent..

[foulis]

[syfrett5]

@Visoball5550 your a fucking idiot man

[Kstylie420]

I am not wasting my time to scroll down and read idiots comments, but this is a great beginner lesson, I have been playing ska/reggae for a while now and I enjoy watching beginner lessons as long as they're good and accurate like this one!

Great video, and Sublime is amazing

[GanjikaAranyaka]

ok where can i find the exact cord progression of sublime songs....i want to now what chords are used to play the more dreary songs like "the ballad of jonny Butt"

[CMiller1334]

Hehe he said skank

[stealthfan13]

@CMiller1334 that's the dance people do to ska.

[CMiller1334]

@stealthfan13 I know. Purposeful immaturity. Makes the world go round.

[sambo75420]

This guy really knows his stuff,thanks for the up...

[radioheadfauxlife]

Hahaha at 7:34 he plays a reggae version of the scientist by coldplay!

[astrotravelin]

this guy blows and he acts like hes 15...

:(

[RossWildish]

I like this guy he does some good videos.

[Pr3lude9]

Wrong place to ask!

[rudeboypop]
