[MetalguitarlessonsUK]

Very good teacher!

[Skippier1991]

What tunings are commonly used for ska/reggae/dub rhythms? Also how can one alternate it to being a fast picking (i.e. ska-punk)?

[CityVilleCheatGuide]

Thanks for the video

[ChristianMott]

This was very helpful, thank you!

And kickass guitar, man.  Do you think single-coil pickups help with the "chuck" sound over humbuckers?

[LearnGuitarPro]

Thanks for the video

[anticait]

OOOOH. Man this is way easier than what I was doing.

[griveous7]

[added23]

[NFLBITCH]

He kinda look like the lead singer of Sublime

[tropiicannabis]

Hey, where's the dub ?

[camodude51]

beautiful headstock 

[omahabee]

I dont know a lot about naming chords, but it is what I call an A minor, with the first finger used as a fret. then he lifts the midle finger off. Very simple really, but he is obviously a very fluid and well practiced player!

[mimakaemmer]

Thank You!!! This Video was really a great help for me!

[MPM4614]

11 people should smoke a jont and just shut up!

[jimmyrock005]

I want guitar...hahaha,,,because i cant afford those guitar..

[emsattt]

how do you fucking do that G chord its impossible...

[rusteeeeeeeeeeeeeeez]

how do i get the guitar to stop ringing?

[FrankDiggz]

@rusteeeeeeeeeeeeeeez if you cant "kill" the strings by releasing pressure....try a palm mute to end the note.

[hultonclint]

Nobody plays guitar like this in reggae (except maybe bros from Orange County?). And the chord progression is also "super" uncommon.

[FrankDiggz]

@hultonclint shows what you know....dummy. Dirty Heads just used this progression in their number 1 Lay Me Down

[hultonclint]

@FrankDiggz What the fudge is Dirty Heads? I thought we were talking about reggae. And I said no BRO REGGAE "bands".

[FrankDiggz]

@hultonclint not sure what bro reggae is...i like all reggae, i dont discriminate.

[Renwickrobin]

good reggae vibes

[sharkmen007]

you're playing badfish

[desert22eagle22]

haha. i like how skank and fingering are in tthe same sentence.

[harro098765]

God that guitar looks horrible. JK!!!! It looks AWESOME.

[alkalynn1]

Dave - I have commented on that guitar before, but had to say again that she awesome. HAve you done a review on it?

[rockongoodpeople]

Hi - appreciate the kind words - I have not reviewed this guitar in a video as yet - maybe I can do that in the future - its a mid 1990s fender custom shop MOTO stratocaster - very cool birds eye maple neck and texas specials pickups with the mother of pearl on the pickguard and over the painted headstock - all stock

rock oN!

David T

[rusteeeeeeeeeeeeeeez]

@rockongoodpeople hey man i really need help mastering this. i really suck man i just started, and my fingers are real slow when i move them up strings and all. can you help?

[SkateAndRoll79]

[JS2BF]

Great vid. Keep em coming.

[dadszx7]

[jawsazon1]

Nice lesson, David. Thank you!

[moufa4life]

7.58 how you do that bob marley thing upload a vid with bob marley techniques

[g0shu4]

One of your better lessons.

[ultimatumjs]

great vid!

1 question: were you born wearing that back to front baseball cap??

[thatnewguy23]

Doing the chuck... or some people call it the scank. priceless and quick

[TheEmanzi]

Its easier in drop D tuning, for example instead of playing G-355433 its G-555433 all you need then is a strong finger or a slide thingy.

[lasersailor184]

@TheEmanzi It's far easier to bar the low fret with your index finger for the regular G than it is to bar the highest frets in drop D tuning. Work at it a bit, but regular bar cords become so much easier once you get over the hump.

[HeyItsNik]

@TheEmanzi or you can just bar the 3, it's more practical if you can do it

[volcomstonexyz1]

That second chord progression he plays is "Badfish" from Sublime.  KOOL.

[Albert0Jazzmaster]

Thanks, you inspire me every time I see you!

[marieobrien29]

Thanks David. I like the way you teach

[rickyjshiznit]

too many beginner lessons, unsubscribing

[Ramalama09]

@rickyjshiznit Everyone was a beginner once, it never hurts to go back to the basics. :)

[rickyjshiznit]

@Ramalama09 well yea but i dont want to keep learning chord progressions and string muting techniques forever.

[chickenmanstan]

I love these videos! If I had them when I was a couple of months in it would have helped a lot. Rock on Rock On Good People!

[96JUSTIN]

that sucks that you guys got shut down for teaching songs when there are soooo many other peeps on youtube that did and still do! Guess they only go after the big guys

[charliemurphyslaw]

@96JUSTIN who shut them down?

[flickerman68]

Anything but sunburst!

[imzemo]

[guitfdlr]

@suuicider why?



[Ibik]

nice fender!

[Helsling]

You already did a lesson on this same exact lesson >.>

[style2chien]

thanks again for this lesson

[brianabadia1983]

That is neither Ska, nor Reggae. it would be better if you try to move your right hand the double of the speed to get a better Sakanking. I mean, if you are playing 4 notes, then your right hand should move in 8 notes on the muted movement and 4 notes when you let the strings sound., otherways it would sound like surfers music.but not Ska deffinitelly. Also, try to reverse the movement.... instead of going up on the second tempo, try it to go down, and you'll see how it sounds much better.

[1RoaringMonk]

dis be bamb wimmy yo skankers iz az kuell

[dooditsjustin]

i lik the headstock n pickguardddd 0.0

[john26danill]
